for which end he has most grossly misrepresented this 

 case. 



Case 2. Mr. Joules's son. Dr. Rowley's 36th case, stated 

 as follows : — " Vaccinated at the Small-Pox Hospital ; ter- 

 rible tumour in the face, of which a drawing is given re- 

 sembling an ox." 



I saw this child, with his parents, in November 180.5. 

 The father told me that the boy was vaccinated four or five 

 years since : soon afterwards he had a slight breaking out 

 on the face, which continued about a month : from that 

 time he was perfectly well for three or four years, when a 

 swelling came in his cheek, but was attended with so little 

 pain, that it did not hinder his playing in the streets 

 as much as other boys. Mr. Joules said,. Dr. Rowley pro- 

 mised to undertake the cure gratis, but never troubled him- 

 self about it after he had the boy's picture. The fat he)- and 

 mother Loth declared theij did not think the swelling was 

 caused h/ the cow-pock. It appeared to me a scrophulolig 

 case, and nothing could be further fetched than the notion 

 of its resembling an ox. 



Case 3. Mr. Wild's child, the doctor's 135th case, who, 

 he says, took the small-pox, in the natural way, in Au- 

 gust 180.5, although vaccinated two years hefore. 



I saw the mother and child in October 180.5. She said 

 the child was vaccinated three or four years lefore it took 

 the small-pox ; but the place of inoculation was very small, 

 and did not appear like the cow-pock she had seen in other 

 persons ; from whence it is evident, although the child was 

 inoculated for the cow-pock, it did not receive it. Is it any 

 wonder then, that the small-pox infection took place when 

 the child was exposed to it.? Certainly not. And it is thcre- 

 f(jre a gross misrepresentation of the case, to call it an in- 

 stance of cow-pock failure. 



Case 4. Mr. Colson's grandson. Dr. Rowley's l.?7th 

 case. This he states took the small-pox two vears alicr 



€0W-p0X. 



In October 1805, I saw Mr, Colson, the grandfather, and 

 also the child's mother, who uas but seventeen years of agte
