Dr, Spalding, having re~

informs thole he has inoculated, who are not
perfectly fitisfied of having had the genuine'
vaccine -disease j that he will reinoculate them
'till the genuine disease shall be produced, with
out any additional ex penfe.
-ALSO—;
That he will attend to all others,
who may honor him with their commands.
Wafhington-flreet, 20th June.
That our fellow citizens may re
ceive all the benefit that can possibly arise from
the important difeovery of the KINE-POX, which
wants only a fair trial to convince the moll obsti
nate of its power to prevent the Small-Pox—Dr#
Spalding makes the following offer.
If twenty refpeftable persons will come for
ward and undergo the vaccine diferfe, and engage
to-defray the expenses of an hospital on an inland,
for the trial of the small pox iu the autumn, and
undergo inoculation theretot, he pledges hiihfelf
to attend them gratis through the whole course of
both the kine-and small pox, should any be so un
fortunate as to receive the latter?
