kline POCK AND SMALL POX


The address Of " Dr.. james Smith OF Baltimore
TO the Citizens of the United States" has occasioncd
more excitement than surprise in tis quarter where
vaccination was first introduced aud pracised That
gentleman seems TO bc in the same thick fog
which envelored some practitioners in the year 1902;
ana yet seems, people to look 10 hin for infor-
NATION on Il subject IN which he has been secuatinp
many wears, when he conieSscS that he does moi
himself understand the of his present embar-
rnssmcnt.
To us in the vicinity of Boston the whole business
IS clear as day. IL is the dbieied case orer rain
The like causes have pr duced the like effects and
ever will. Whoever shall look into Dr. Water!Iouse
Treatise on the Kline Pock, may see from page / TO
III the history of the introduction of The Small Pox for
The kne Pock into that town, which m,aatis 1utqp.
dis, is the history of in Baltimore. The sum and
substance OF which was, n ship arrived from Liver
pool, on board OF which a sailor, v no said he
had been vacclnaed the day before They sailed the
mate took matter from his puses (for the man had
the small pos and he knew it, but did not choose 10
own it,) and gave il 10 his iaihcr who was n uIys
can, who inoculated his own children with il and
thus spread The small poX Throughout tao place Dr.
Water1ouse went directly down TO Marblehead to
investigate the business and had tc satisfaction 10
learn thnt ali he had vaccinated resisted :fe small
pox, while every of those inocuated bv oibees
had that terrible distemDer He drew the line 10
tween the two disorders the satisfaction of the phv
sicians there, and Of the tom, who gave him their
franks so that there Is town IN the United States
where vacciraiion IS more unanimously indicated

Is it not strange that Dr. Smith in all his per,le -;
~, has never once written to The person in this quar-
ter, who has hid most experience in the business
and 70 whom VIC are all indebted Tor it, ntioducton
into America Did he suspect That 90 me Ieitaey Of
H1ierica had no high opinion OF his speculation :,
sca6s How such thing could have been snnciion
Ell ly the Congress IF The United Suites of 9neyicf
Inns been TO US Yankees q matter Of surprise as well
modification
We understand that what Dr. Smith says OF the
nermixture OF kline peck and small pox in the same
person, IS denied by DR.. Waierhousc, who we learn
says that there is medium between rood kline Docf
muller and any other that there Cannot he any shade
81 ambiguity ~ The case frr as his apartments
hare gm,e. IL Dr. Smith bas sun aground, from his
own want Of knowledge IN The business YET him car
didly confess il but do not lot him declare 10 the
pubic that NJ othc, pilot cdn sad over the same
ground in safety
There IS one TACT that may check the alarm excl,
ed by Dr. smith nijudicions leuer. add thatis FOR
