il6 Report of the National Vaccine Eatahtishment, 



the dowager lady Rowley, remembers perfectly his having 

 h tolerable sprinkling of small-ppx, and says, he was after- 

 wards repeatedly exposed to variolous infection in the nur- 

 sery, when his three younger brothers were successively in- 

 oculated, all of whom had some degree of eruption ; and 

 since that lime, frequently, in performing the clerical duties 

 of his profession. 



On Wednesday the 5th of June, he felt much indisposed, 

 complained of pain in his head and hack, attended with 

 considerable restlessness and prostration of strength: on 

 Friday the 7th, an eruption appeared chiefly on his face and 

 breast ; he was attended by Mr. Woodman, of Bognor, only, 

 till the Monday following, when Mr. Guy, surgeon, of Chi- 

 chester was first consulted. On examining the eruption, 

 Mr. Guy was immediately struck with its resemblance to 

 the small-pox ; and on gently hinting his suspicion to Mr. 

 Rowley, received the information above related. On the 

 following day the progress of the eruption towards matura- 

 tion, and the swelling of the face, which is characteristic 

 of the small-pox, left no doubt of the nature of the malady. 

 The eruption was perfectly distinct; it was very full all over 

 the trunk and body, and there were about two hundred pus- 

 tules on the face. Mr. Guy is of opinion, that this was a 

 clearly marked case of small-pox. 



The history of the previous variolous inoculation in 1770 

 ■was procured from the dowager lady Rowley by Mr. Dun- 

 das, sergeant surgeon to his majesty; and the account of 

 the present case was transmitted to the director of vaccina- 

 tion of ihis establishment, on the application of the Board, 

 by Mr. Guy, an eminent surgeon of Chichester. 



II. Case of Miss Sarah Booth, of Covent Garden Theatre, 

 Dr. Bree was called to visit miss S. Booth, on Monday, 

 June 25th. She was said to be ill with the small- pox ; and 

 the following circumstances were reported by the mother 

 and sisters. 



Miss Booth is 18 years of age; she had been inoculated 

 for the small-pox at five years of age, and had been affected 

 with the usual degree of fever; the arm had been violently 

 inflamed, and an eruption of small-pox pustules had ap- 

 peared round the inoculated part, from which matter had 

 Deen taken by Mr. Kennedy, the surgeon who attended her. 

 Mr. Kennedy expressed himself satisfied that miss S. Booth 

 bad passed regularly through the disease. 



The usual scar of sraall-pox inoculation is perfectly evi- 

 dent on the arm.
