 In addition to the preceding account, the Board have 

 authority to state, that during the illness of Mr. Grosvenor, 

 the other children of the Earl of Grosvenor, who had been 

 previously vaccinated, were exposed to the conta<i;ion of the 

 sniall-pox under which their brother was sufTering, and 

 were also submitted to sniallrpox inoculation without ef- 

 fect. 



IF. The Case of the Son of Sir Henri/ ISlarlin. 



Sir Henry Martin's son, aged cloven vears, was vaccinated 

 by Mr. Tegart in the year 1801, and exhibited all the usual 

 marks of that disovdcr in a comiilete-and satisfactorv man- 

 ner. He still retains on his artn the characteristic scar. 



This boy was taken ill on Saturday the 22d dav of June, 

 1811 ; at the period of the attack he was recovering from 

 hoopino- cough. 



23d. Coniiuued to be feverish. 



24th. Mr. Tegart was sent to. 



2oth. The fever increased, and at night he became de- 

 lirious. 



26lh. An eruption was perceived chiefly about the mouth, 

 at the same time his eyes and diroat were slightly inflamed. 

 The fever continued. 



27th, or 2d day of the eruption, the pustules increased, 

 so as to afford suspicion of the chicken-pox. 



3d day of the eruption, the pustules increased, the fever 

 decreased. 



4lh. At the close of the fourth day Dr. Hebcrden first 

 saw this boy, with a liistincl eruption of the most perfect 

 kiird of small-pox, all pretty uniform in size, well filled 

 with a fluid- already beginning to grow yellow, and sur- 

 rounded by a r-ose-colouied margin preciselv like small -ppx 

 of the fifth dav. TIkto were about one hundred pustules 

 on the face, and perhaps twice as many on the lind)s, but 

 the trunk was almost free : the features were swollen, but 

 not verv much so. The skin was hot, and the pulse quick. 



5lh day. The pustules were nioie uiiiforin, and yellow, 

 and the patient complair.ed of soreness ; hut he was cooler, 

 and his pulse was quieter. 



(jtli day. Tlic fever had entirely subsided, and the pock 

 jjc'jaulo turn. 



8th.
