[fr HEREAS I am informed, from various Part, %
" this State, that Inoculation rs the Small Fox
bar been praltifa by many P^fas i n dire# Violation
of the Law, and to the great Danger of the People
in general, in this unfavorable Seafn of the Year : And
whereas it is of the g^eateft Importance at this Time, and
on which our Safety, under Providence, in a ver, fecial
Manner depends, that car Continental Army be fpcedil) fl
led up and completed. Ard it is sh con,direct that this
infeklious Difafe can be er,l, kpt from spreading in the
Arm, which has been abend, ex, rienced, when proper
Care has been taken ; and that A# Solaiers who have Un
happily taken the infßion at Ne w York and elfew'ere, and
who have been principally the Means of fpreariing of it in
this State, are moft l returned; and if proper Care is new
taken with Rfpsfl to all ixffled PerJons and Places a Step
ma, be fan put to the Spreading of that infectious Dfaitfor

Ma, next, may think it neefary to take the Sulfa under
their Confifrarion, and give Licence for Inoculation is con
venient Places in this State, and under fyb proper Regula
tions as may be fafe fir the whole--- The present unwar
rantable Method of People at diftreiion running into the Prac
tice, and the great danger thereby of giving of it an almft
universal Spread when st is necflay ever, one fauld be able
and ready for an immediate Defence again, the Inroads of
the Enemy, muffefbly offß the Mind fev.ry prudent
Person.
I DO therefore, by and with the Advice of the
Council of Safety, in the mod earned Manner advif&
and exhort all Persons, as they regard ,he Interest of
their Country, the Safety of their Friends, and the
Security ofour Rights, that they immediately duift
from this most unwarrantable Praaice, until the
Subje& may be farther considered by the legislative
Body of this State ; and the fame, when allowed,
may be put under the most Secure Regulations.
Aad the Select- Men in each Town are requited to
take the meft effc&uat Care to have all fufeeAed Sol
