On Vaccination. JfS^ 



" Second. — ^No patient, after the pox have appeared, must 

 be suffered to go into the street or other frequented place. 



" Third. ^"fhe utmost attention to cleanliness is abso- 

 lutely necessary. During and after the distemper, no per- 

 son's clothes, food, furniture, dog, cat, money, medicines, 

 or any other thins that is known or suspected to be daubed 

 with matter, spittle, or other infectious discharges of the 

 patient, should go out of the house till they be washed, and 

 till they have been sutficiently exposed to the fresh air. 

 No foul linen, or any thing else thai can retain the poison, 

 should be folded up and" put into drawers, boxes, or be 

 otherwise shut up from the air, but immediately thrown 

 into water and kept there till washed. No attendants 

 should touch what is going into another family till their 

 hands are washed. When a patient dies of the small-pox, 

 particular care should be taken that nothing infectious be 

 taken out of the house so as to do mischief. 



«' Fourl/i.—Tht patient must not be allowed to approach 

 anv person liable to the distemper till every scab is dropt 

 off; till all the clothes, furniture, food, and all other things 

 touched by the patient during the distemper, till the floor 

 of the sick chamber, and till his hair, face, and hands have 

 been carefully washed. After every thing has been made- 

 perfectly clean, the doors, windows, drawers, boxes, and 

 all other places that can retain infectious air, should be 

 kept open till it be cleared out of the house. 



'' Resolved— Thsii a reward of half-a-crown be given to 

 every poor person resident vvilhin the city of Norwich, who 

 shall be vaccinated by the city surgeons, at the Norwich 

 dispensary, or in any olh^r way, provided they produce to 

 the committees a satisfactory proof of the fact. 



" Resolved— Th3it the thanks of this court be given to 

 Edward R gbv, Esq. for his unremitting attention to the 

 important subject of the small-pox— for the measures now 

 proposed bv him, and adopted by ibis court, m consequence 

 of ihe di^ease being ai this time in Norwich ; and particu- 

 larly for the able manner m which he has advocated the 

 practice of vaccination, and so salisfactonly obviated the 



popular objections to it Ey the court, Simpson. 



The report of the National Vaccine Establishment be-
