f 80 Vaccine Inoculation. 



practised in some of the depanmcnts of France long before 

 the attempts of Dr. Jenner. M. f Avidf)uard will publish a 

 work on this subject, in which it is expected he will give 

 proofs that this method belongs originally to France." On 

 this we may observe, that we have no doubt of the fact, for 

 jt was also practised in England hv solitarv individuals ; but 

 this does not lessen at all the merit due to Dr Jenner, who 

 was the first to point out the proper use that might be mad? 

 of the fact; nor of Drs. Pearson, VVoodviile, and others, 

 who seconded his views, and have labouitd v.'iih such in- 

 cessant zeal to promote its general adoption, not only in 

 this country, but in every part of the world — and with so 

 much success, that at no verv distant period we may expect 

 to see the small-pox, the most dreadful scourge with which 

 the human race were ever afflicted, baniahed from the face 

 of the earth. 



Rajusa, June 30th. 

 The vaccine has at length been adopted at this place, 

 owing to the exertions of that indefatigable physician 

 Stulli, and the repeated instigations of Dr. cie Curio of Vi- 

 enna, to whom we are indebted for this benefit. Dr. de 

 Carro's Catechism on the Vaccine, translated into the Illyric 

 language, and distributed in the town, and by the ct)untry 

 clergymen, has contributed oreatlv to dispose the inhabi- 

 tants for receiving it. The vaccine matter of Vienna has 

 succeeded verv well : in the course of a few weeks Stulli 

 has vaccinated a hundred children; a great manv for this 

 country, which in some late years, and particularly in iS(.'2, 

 lost a great many children by the natural small-pox. This 

 happy discovery is making great progress among the Dal- 

 matians and Turks. 



Manheim, July 2Sth. 



According to the last accounts received by Dr. de Carro, 

 at Vienna, respecting the progress of vaccination in the 

 East Indies, the governor, by a public notice, dated Janu- 

 ary j9> 1803, requested the h.uropcans and natives belonging 

 to the presidency of Fort St. George (o take advantage of 

 this salutary discovery. It results from the official reports 

 of the board of medicine, that from the 1st of September 

 ie02 to the 30th of April 1804, there were inoculated with 

 success 145,340 persons, namely 1()5 Europeans, 4,141 

 Bramins, 41,80{) Malabarese, 40,022 Gtntoos, 10,926 Ma- 

 hometans, 444 of mixed casts, 1,092 Portuguese, 35,975
