1 here was, in a certain Family, a Boy of 3 Years old, 
afflicted with the Falling- S icknefs , the Kings- Evil, an He- 
reditary Fox, and a long Marafmus. The Parents were de- 
firous to have the Incifion made upon him; the Small-Fox 
were thrown off with eafe; about the 40th day he dy’d of 
his Marafme. in another Family, a Girl of 3 Years old, 
troubled with the like Fits, Brumous, attended with an He- 
reditary Lues, and labouring under a colliquative Loofnefs 
for three Months. The Operation was perform’d on this 
Child; (he came off very well of the Small-Fox , which was 
all over rhe 15th day 5 on the ]zd (lie dy’d of ,her Loof- 
nefs, which had never left her the whole time 
But it is true, 1 never maintain’d the Inoculation as a Pa - 
nacata, or Cure for all Difeafes ; nor do ! think it proper 
to be attempted on Perfons like to die. Some more quick- 
fighted, imagin’d thefe two Children were, as ufelefs Shades, 
fent to Charon by any means that could be made ufe of. If 
I could have collected any more concerning this Matter, I 
fhould have imparted ir candidly.
