Report to the Secretary if Slate for the fine Department, from'Pee ilritish ..alio.nil Vaccine Establishment. National Vaccine EvtablAbnient, Percv ilrm.-t, January 31-t, 1 f id. Sir : Vaccination liar now be.-n -i,b- tnitted to the test of another > ear'* ex perience, and the result i* tin increase (■four confidence in (lie ben,-lit* ol it. We are happy to any, that it app, ,tr* to have been practised more exnriri-<riy than it was, notwithstanding the n.ftu- encc of ex.i r-rsted rumors of the fre quent ovori encu of -mill pox subse- queull' the mind' n t -nine person*, and toe rtlir nte prejudices of olheis, who still ccntious to adopt inoruli n i >r that dices*#. 'I lie unavoidable v • q once of the latter praclice is to sup ply a constant source of infection, and to put the merit* of varcinaiion perpetual ly tn the severest trial. Gfsmall pm, n tbe modified and pe culiar form which it ..>» i:„e*. when it a'tacks a patient, who lias hi r,, pi "vimis- ly vaccinated, many cases indeed i,a been reported to tie, tn the com f l ist year, and some hive fallen with the sphere of our own ubsei vation ; but the disorder ha* alw at * run a sale tourtc being uniformly exempt ft on, the secon dary fever, in winch til*’ patient dies most commonly, when he die* ol small pox. For the truth of this assertion we ap peal lo the testimony of the whole me dical world. Aud for a proof that tha number of such cases bear* no propor tion to the thousand* who have profil ed, to the fullest extent of security, by it* protecting influence, we appeal con fidently to all who frequent the theatrts and crowded asaemlilie*, to admit that they do not discover in the rising gene ration any lunger that disfigurement of the human face, which tin* obvioui eve ry where some years since. Tn account for occasional failures, nf which we readily admit Ihe existence, something is to be attributed to those animo.ilies which prevail throughout na ture, and which the physician observe*, not in some peculiar conslilution* only, but in the same constitution at different period* of life, rendering the human frame at one time susceptible of disor der hum a mere change of the wind, nnd capable, at another, of insisting the most malignant and subtle contagion. But amongst the most frequent sources of failure which have occurred, and will for some time continue to occur, i* t# be numbered that careless facility wilh which unskilful bocsvolcnce undertook to perform vuccination in the early years of tbe discovery; for experience haB taught u*, that a strict inquiry into the condition of the patient to be vaccinated, great utienii n tn the state of the matter to be inserted, and a vigilant observa tion of the | rogress. of the vehicles, on the part of tbe operator, are ail essen tially necessary to its complete *ucces*. That less enlightened parents should hcritate to accept a substitute for inocu lation, which i* not perfect in all it* pre tensions, and absolutely and altogether effectual to exempt the object* oftheir solicitude from every future possible in convenience, docs lot surprise u« ; but wo cannot forbear to expres* our un qualified ri probation of the conduct of those Medif al Practitioner*, w ho, know ing well that vaccination scarcely occa sions the slightest indisposition, thnt it spread* nocontagion, that in n very lareD proportion of cases it affords an entire
