On the Vaccine Inoculation; 3°9 



inoculated a child from the cow-pock puffule furrounded by 

 a clufter of fmall-pox ; in (liort, they appeared fo blended 

 that I had my doubts whether the matter I obtained was 

 that of the cow-pock or mixed with fmall-pox ; indeed E 

 was rather difpofed to think the latter Was the cafe, as it did 

 not appear fo limpid as it ufually does in the cow-pock. 

 However, the refult is, that it produced the genuine cow- 

 pock without any appearance different from what I have al- 

 ways feen ; and with matter from this fource I have conti- 

 nued to inoculate ever fince, without any variation either in 

 fvmptoms or appearance. If this cafe furnifhes you with 

 any thing new on the fubject, I mall be very glad. I have 

 no time now to make any comment upon it, as the port-office 

 isjuft going to fhut. I am, Yours fincerelv,

P. S. Since I wrote laft to you, I have inoculated upwards of 



500 for the vaccine difeafe, without any unpleafant fymptoms.

 fpondent of the Committee of Medicine, commijfioned to 

 repeat at Paris the Experiments refpecling the Vaccine 

 Inoculation, toC. Maselet, Sub-Prof eel of the Dijlricl 

 of Boulogne-fur- Mer *. 



1 OU are defirous of knowing the remits which I have 

 obtained rcfpeiSting the new inoculation known under the 

 name of the vaccine. As it was you who firft patronifed it, 

 w lien Dr. Woodville, Dr. Aubert, and myfelf, introduced it 

 into France f; and as it was you who triumphed over that 

 coalition of prejudices, interefts, and paffions, which had 

 armed againff it even the fupreme authority, you ought to 

 be more interefted than any other perfon in the fuccefs and 

 propagation of a difcovery which, without your affiftance, 

 would have been rejected, together with the veffcl that 

 brought it to your fl-l!ow-citizens.

 France by the London Vaccine Inftitution. — See the Letter of the Ecole
