could not live more than twelve months. His mother 

 also laboured under this disease, and had lost one child 

 by it, who died in a r?iost deplprable state. At the time 

 of inoculating this boy with cow pock, he had several 

 abscesses, particularly about the arms, neck, and shoul- 

 ders ; he went through the disease in the most favoura- 

 ble manner, the sores all healed in a short time, and the 

 child was restored to perfect health, which was entirely 

 attiubuted to the cow pock. 



*' Mr. Custance, of Kidderminster, had three cases 

 of Jitrophia Lactantium perfectly relieved by vaccina- 

 tion. And Dr. Patterson, already quoted, observes that 

 " many children puny from teething, one \^ ith diarrhoea, 

 and another with slight eruption and cough, from the 

 same cause, but all without fever ; as well as one child 

 labouring under pertussis sine pyrexia, have been ob- 

 served to get very fast rid of the complaints under which 

 they laboured, and improve much in their general health 

 after vaccination." Mr. Bryce found tinea capitis, sore 

 ears, ophthalmia, 5cc, to be much relie\'ed by it. 



*' Dr. Husson, of Paris, among several cases in which 

 vaccination proved a remedy for other diseases, particu- 

 larly mentions two. One of intolerable head ache, of 

 several years continuance ; the other of scrofula, cough, 

 and shortness of breath : both were completely removed. 



" Mr. Watt, of Paisley, records a ease of a gentleman, 

 who, by accidentally applying some vaccine virus to his 

 nostrils, produced there two pustules, by which he was 

 completely cured of a verj- obstinate soreness in his nose.
