- . 'T'HE diet should not differ from
A the usual diet of the Patient
before inoculation.
2d. Be very careful (drubbing or scratch
ing the arm or shoving up tight sleeves.
3d. Let no person who is not a proper
judge of the'vaccine Matter, attempt to
vaccinate himself or any other person : It
would be setting a snare for one's own life,
lor experience' teaches that the matter is
not always good even on the eighth day.
4th. Women who do bouse-work, should
avoid washing and baking, or any.other
very laborious work, on the seventh, eighth
and tiihth duyfe the usual time for the
trymmoths.
sih. No danger of inoculating all in a
family together ; for as the symptoms fre
quently vary one, twb, or three days, and
although they were all inoculated together,
it would not be probable that they would
all feel the symptoms at the same time.
6th. Daily experience teaches that wo
men may be vaccinated with safety in all
circumstances, al home or when travelling
by land or sea.
Fih. No danger of vaccinating children
at the period of teething.
Bth. Parents, Schoolmasters, and Mis
tresses, Nurses and Servants, who handle
Children, should keep it in mind not to
take hold or lift them by their arms, or
even to take hold under their arms would
not be safe. Vaccinated inf an to should
<1 ways be lifted by putting one hand un
derneath them, and the other round the
Body.

10th. The vaccinated arm should never
have a bandage on it, but kept cool and

places of inoculation several times to be
xamined before they get through the
Kine-Pocfe.
12th. In ease the arm should begin to be
roublesome, by applying in mason at my
Room, at the house ot Mr. Smußael Ca
dy, near the Court-House, the Patient

We spoke of the cities an<! provinces
that had been nearly desolated by this
wide wasting pestilence, and which had
generkßy been communicated by a tingle
fteretn. We said that all the wars through
out the whole world had not cut the thread
of so many Uvea, as this cruel distemper.
- . The savage tribes of this country have
tlen nearly destroyed by small-pox. Cap
tains Lewis and Clarke give deplorable
accounts of the destruction of human lives
by small-pox, in the thinly peopled'coun-
We hazarded an opinion that the small
pox, as well as kine-pock, owed their
origin to the brute creation ; and we ven
tured to assert, that there was no disease
in which the su|>erintending care of Provi
dence was more conspicuous than in the one
under consideration. We declared, from
the authority of Baron Dimsdale and Dr.
Heberden, that the small-pox inoculation
ha'd been more ■detrimental than beneficial
to society, by keeping the infection in large
cities, and thus spreading it among the
people.

And wreath’d fresh laurels round the couch

THS LATE ILLUSTRIOUS BEAR-ADMIRAL
CUTHBERT LORD COLLINGWOOD,
It was observed in our last number, that
it was not until after the Mahomedans hac
overran Persia, Palestine, Arabia, am!
Egypt, that the small-pox first appeared
in the world, which was about 1300 years
ago. We said that about the same time,
and in ths same region, the measles ap
peared tor the firet time.

At this period of the disease the thrrWf

On the seventh day the eye*lids swell

ias both the sensation and apprehension of •

On the eighth day the watery fluid of

tient Is highly noisome and infectious. And
instead of yellow pus or matter, only ichor
>s produced, which erodes deep, and ends
in mortification of the parts. Often pur
ple spots appear in the spaces surrounding
the eruption, which forebodes the worst of
symptoms. Often profuse bleedings pasa
off by the several outlets of the body.
At this melancholy period of the disor

of gore mingled with corruption !
