Caigtti, at Athens, and DIR. La Font, at Salonica
prating 1t with great fuccefs. But from thence to
the Indies, the dance 70 great, that, although the
ianc OF this dhcovery had made great fenfation there
it had not been introduced that unhappy country
where the fmal pox makes uch ravages, that one
third OF the whole number that take naturally die of

thread and cups into that country ipregnated with
the vaccine matter. Thee had always failed; whe-
ther the length of the voyage had defroyed the ai-

Extraordinary from the King of England to Vienna

one OF the cows of Lombardy, and this was the fole
iource of ali the vaccinations made in Ala Thus
Great Britain tranfnitted the blefng to the Wet, &
the Italian Republic to the Eah.
/ From Bagdad, where Dr. Short foon fpread the
practice, the vaccine incubation penetrated fwiftly to
Balfora, and thence to Bombay by the care of Mr.
Milne, very able furgeon 1t was in the month of
June, 1902, that Ann Dulths of three years Of age
daughter of donietic of Capt. Hardy was VAGINA

were more than thouiand perions in that country
who were iucceivey vaccnated, who all had the df-
order in the mildeft and mott regular manner, pre-

already pread through Hyderabad, Myfore, Madras,
and all the provinces of Canara and Maabar:
