Sta,—All the points in VtaAx's letter have been so triumphantly refuted in your own remarks, that I shall not attempt to add any thing to what you have said. I shall only supply you with a copy of Dr. JENNER . S own answer pub , licly given to the charge against him; by which it appears that he vaccinated his son himself, at a time when the prac tice of Vaccination had scarcely begun to be noticed, and therefore when but few experiments of its efficacy could bare been made, and that on• its Ailing tel take properlu, he had the child afterwards inoculated, when it had been exposed to variolous infection, at a place where he did not vaccinate any one, and where the practice being yet in its infancy, no one else could supply him with vaccine lymph. With all these facts VERAX must l ave been acquainted, since he owned he had read Dr. JEN EICS answer, and his misrepresenting it must therefore have proceeded from in tention, not error. -Yours, &c. VERITAS. In November 1810, Dr. Jenner was applied to, to know if he had inoculated any of his own family with the small pox matter ; to which he returned the following answer in the Gentleman's Magazine for December 1310. " My two eldest children were inoculated with the small- • pox before I began to inoculate for the cow-pox. My youngest son was' born soon after my experiments com menced, and at ten months old was vaccinated will several others; but the appearance, excited by its insertion, pro duced an effect that lasted two or three days only, and then died away. By referring to my first work on cow-pox you will see his case mentioned. " In a short time after, I was under the necessity of. moving, with my family, for a few months to Cheltenham, where, for various reasons, 1 found it inconvenient to re sume my operations. I had - not been long bete before this child was exposed to the small-pox, and in such a way TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. 667 as left no aoub' upon my mind of his being,i/Acted. As I went determined /ii)t to vaccinate during my short 'stay St Cheltenham ;his year (observe it was so long ago as 1795) I took no vncci►:e matter with me. What the►► was to he done? Surely there was no alternative, but his immediate inoculation, which w3s done by Mr. Cother, one of the surgeons there." • TIIS lIEBDOMAIMRY ; OR, EPHEMERIS OF '1 HE WEEK. SEPT 1. .%1 I; ER. 13.
