 According to the course ittook here, we should take 

 it for spurious ; but in its nature it was very near 

 the genuine. The Spanisli physician assured me, 

 that the vaccine with which he inoculated the 

 Tagalese had the same stages as in Europe. 



In four of the Aleutians and the Kamtschadale I 

 made only one puncture, but in the fifth Aleutian

 These three patients were always a day in advance 

 of the others, and one of them felt already on this
