thers, &€. March 25, 1780.
THE deplorable havock which die small-pox has
made in America for a few years past, and in
this city in particular, in the natural way, mufthave
afided 'he minds of people in general, who are not
destitute of the common feelings of humanity, and
the distress and danger occasioned thereby, one might
imagine would have determined people more gene
rally to embrace the simple method of inoculation ;
by which means the danger attending those who
catch the infeaion the natural way, is almost en
tirely removed. „
It is very difficult to convince the minds of those
who are prejudiced against inoculation, of its utility
and advantage, and the little danger attending it,
although its fuccefsfi.il effe&s have been fu fficiently
experienced for a number of years past, by a gene
rous universal plan of inoculation in England,
enough to juftify the fulleft recommendation.
To this unhappy prejudice in some, and the want
of abilities in others, we may ascribe the cause why
this ufeful method has not been so generally pra&i
fed here as in England; the subscriber therefore to
relieveas much as possible, and to remove the dif
ficulties attending those in low or middling circum
stances. The Poor Refugees from the different
provinces, and those from Permfylvania in particular
from embracing the means which Providence has put
into their hands, that he will engage to inoculate all
persons under the above description on terms agree
able to their circumstances, when the greatett atten
tion will be paid to those entrusted to his care.

To put an immediate stop to a practice so
deftruaive to the interest of Individuals, and
eventually so to the King's service, all persons
are ttridly forbid to cut WOOD on any land
that does not belong to them, unless they have
leave from the owner so to do, and all who
have been cutting timber on estates of persons
supposed to be in rebellion, are forbid to cut
any more on this pretence, but to lay before
