liis account, wbicli is as follows : — " As in the na- 

 tural small-pox, so in the inoculated variety, we 

 sometimes observe an eruption of secondary papulae;

 papulic occasionally form pustules, and the fluid whicli 

 distends them may contain a little small-pox virus; 

 but I do not think that it would be safe to employ 

 this product for ovination. In general, if the vari- 

 olous inflammation comes on in the punctures by the 

 second or fourth day, then these eruptions do not break 

 out ; the contrary, however, is the case when the vims 

 remains dormant for a longer time*." 



We have before alluded to the protection which the 

 inoculated disease gives to the animals, and have also 

 explained that equal security against second attacks is 

 afforded by it, as by the natural ovine-pox. We make 

 mention of this again, for the purpose of adding, that in 

 every instance after the restoration of the jiatientSy we 

 have subjected them to re-inoculation, and have often 

 re-exposed them to the contagion, but no ill effects 

 have arisen from either of these causes. By reference 

 to page 105 it will likewise be seen, that 7697 inocu- 

 lated sheep were afterwards allowed to commingle with 

 diseased animals, and that every one of the former 

 escaped the small-pox. Other cases might be intro- 

 duced, but it appears imnecessary to do this to establish 

 the protective influence of ovination. 



It has been said that if impregnated ewes are inocu- 

 lated, secui"ity is thereby afforded to their offspring.
