Report of the Medical Council qf the Roy
al Jetmerian Society ms the Subject
F9f faccineJboaeulation.
“ Tbn MmKl Council of the Rtyal Jen
nerion Society, having been informed gha>
vorfona cases had occurred, which exalted
prejudice against Vaccine
tended to check the prefcreea of that Im
portant discovery in this kingdom, ap
pointed a Committee ef Twuley-fivc oi
their Members to inquire into the nature
and truth of such cases.
* In consequence of this reference, the
Committee made diligent inquiry into the
history of a number of cases, in which it
was supposed that Vaccination had failed
to prevent the Small-Pox.
“ In theaearse of their examination the
Committee teamed* that opinions and as
sertiuns had been advanced and circu
lated, which charged the Cow-Pox with
■ uadering patients liable to particular
diseases, frightfal in their appearance, and
uitherto unknown, and judging such opin
ions to be connected with the question as
to the efficacy of the practice, they thought
it iucuinoent upon them to examine also
into the validity oi these injurious state
ments respecting Vaccination.
“ After a very minute investigation of
these subjects, the result of their inquiries
has been submitted to the Medical Coun
cil ; and from the Report of the Committee
it appears:
“ That most of the cases which have
been brought forward as instances of the
failure of Vaccination to prevent the Small-
Pux, and which have been the subject of
pubiick attention and conversation, art
either wholly unfounded or. grossly misre
presented.
•• That the statements of such of those
cases as are published, have, for the most
part, been carefully investigated, ably dis
cussed, and fully refuted by different wri
ters on the subject. <
“ That notwithstanding the most incon
testable proofs of such misrep renstnta
tions, a few medical men have persisted
in repeatedly bringing the same unfounded
and refuted reports, and misrepresenta
tions, before the publick, thus perversely
and disingenuously labouring to excite pre
judiecs against Vaccination.
“ That in some printed accounts ad -
setae to Vaccination, in which the writets
had no authenticated facts to support the
opMone they edvtMsced, aver auy
ble arguments to maintain them, the sub
ject has been treated with indecent amt
disgusting levity ; as if the good or evil ot
society were fit objicts for sarcasm and
ridicule.
•• That some of the cases are now al
lowed, by the very persons who first re
lated them, to have bteen erroneously stated.
** That when the practice of Vaccina*
tion was first introduced and recommended
by Dr. Jenner, many persons, who had
never seen the effects of the vaccine fluid
on the human system, who were almost
wholly unacquainted with the history of
the characterisiick marks ot
the genuine vesicle, and the cautions ne
cessary to be observed in the management
of it, and were therefore incompetent to
decide whether patients were properly
Vaccinated or not, nevertheless ventured
to inoculate for the Cow-Pox.
“ That many persons have been de
clared duly vaccinated, when the opera
tion was performed hi a very negligent and
unskilful manner, and when the moculatnr
did not afterwards see the patients, and
therefore could not ascertain whether in
fection had taken place or not; and that
to this cause are certainly to be attributed
many of the cases adduced in proof of the
itpefficacy of Cow-Pox.
“ That the Medical Council are fully
assured, that in very many places, in which
the Small-Pox raged with great violence,
the disease h» been speedily and effectu
ally arrested in its progress, and in some
populous cities wholly exterminated by the
practice of Vaccination.
** That, by a reference to the bills of
Mortality, ft would appear that, to the un
forOunate neglect of Vaccination, and to
the prejudices mined agatoot ft, We may.
to a great pleasure,, attribute the lorn of
nearly two thousand lives by the Small-
Pox, to thU Metropolis alone, within the
present year.
That, from all the facta which they
have been able to collect, it appears to the
Medical Conard, that the Cow-Pock is
generally mild and harmless in Its effects;
and that the few casco, which have been
alleged against this opinion, may be fairly
attributed to peculiarities of constitution.
“ That many well-known cutanenoo dis
eases, and some scrophelous complaints,
have been represented as the effects of
Vaccine Inoculation, when in fact they
originated from dtber canoes, and to many
instances occuribd long after Vaccination •
and that ouch diseases are infinitely less
frequent after Vaccination, than after ei
ther the natural or inoculated Small-Pox.
“ Having stated these facts, and made
these observations, the Medical Council
cannot conclude their JJeport upon a suh-

Jedt so highly important and totedfcbg
to all classes of the community, without
making this solemn declaration;
" That, in their opinion, founded on their
own imSridual experience, and the Infor
mation which they have been able to col
lect from that of others, mankind have
already derived gteqt and incalculable
benefit from the discovery of Vaccination :
»nd that it is their fall belief, that the san
gulbe expectations of advantage and secu
which have been formed from the In

ly and completely fulfilled."

they have very judiciously placed the
Grave Digger in front of the procession,
'•earing nff in triumph the Druife Night-
Cap. This is proper, as the badges of

Scalping Knife i and as the tendency of
their stupid infatuation is to introduce mur

the rear: and as Kbomaeo, or the Infernal

among the original natives of this country,
he must be supposed to be broad awake

i hat they owe an important duty to their
children and dcSmesticks, and that if through
their inattention the present opportunity
should pass unimproved, those who had a
right to depend confidently on their vigi--
lencc anu affection, may reproach tUroa
with having unnecessarily exposed and
perhaps wantonly thrown away i heir live*.
It ought also to be remembered, that our

that the Cow-Pock offers the ehly remedy

When the freeholder* and other inhabi

inconvenience, so often suffered by thp
town, by reason of the breaking out of thp
