contagion of the scarlatina at the same tune, and sickened 

 almost at the same hour. The symptoms continued scvcm 

 about twelve hours, when the scariatine rash showed itself 

 faintly upon her face, and partly upon her neck. After re- 

 maining two or three hours it suddenly disappeared, and she 

 became perfectly free from every complaint. My surprise 

 at this sudden transition from extreme sickness to health, in 

 great measure ceased, when I oljserved that the inoculated 

 pustule had occasioned, in this case, the common efflores- 

 cent appearance around it, and that as it approached the 

 centre it was nearly in an erysipelatous state. But the 

 most remarkable part of this history is, that, on the fourth 

 day afterwards, as the efflorescence began to die away upon 

 the arm, and the pustule to dry \ip, the scarlatina again ap-r 

 peared, her throat became sore, the rash spread all over her. 

 She went fairly through the disease, with its common sym- 

 ptoms. 



That these were actually cases of scarlatina was rendered 

 certain by two servants in the family falling ill at tne same 

 time with the distemper, who had been exposed to the in- 

 fection with the young ladies*." 



I had a similar case of scarlet fever and cow-pox in the 

 child of Mr. White, coachman, Adams Mews. The ef- 

 florescent areola was arrested, but became visible after the 

 scarlet fever ceased. 



'* I have met with," says Mr. Ring, " three cases of the 

 co-existence of cow-pock and measles within the last six 

 months. The first was in the child of Mr. Shepherd, in 

 PhcEuix yard, Oxford-street. The second was the child of 



—^ Hardey, No. 45, Peter-street, Westminster. This 



case I showed to Dr. .Tenner and his friend Dr. Marshall, of 

 Gloucester>hirc. It was also seen by Mr. Missiter. The 



third case was in the child of— Groom, World's-end- 



passage, Ncwinglon-causeway." 



" Mr. IT. Jenner lately met with a similar case. — Tn these 

 iifffrent instances, the periods of the respective eruptions 

 were various. In the first that occurred to me, the measles 

 jippeared on the second day, and went through their regular 

 course; yet in no degree retarded the progress of the vaccine 

 pustule. In the second instance the measles appeared on 

 the eighth dav; and in the third instance on the fourth day ; 

 yet neither distemper interrupted the other. In the case 

 vwhich occurred to Mr. li. Jenner, the measles appeared tfefe
