As ms diseose has recently made its sp-

the opinions Of the -Medioal P,or,.s;on ~,
this subject,ns they havo hoen expresssd ibro,
da erent mediums up TO tho present ti'ns In
orders to this, it tbccomes necessary TO Give :
very cursory view ofihe history of tho small
pox and its modification during the last CEN
fury, about the beginning Of which. inoculs.
lion for this disease was first introduced. II
Till this period wo learn very little Of secon-
dcry smell pox. .4ficr incubation was prsc.
t'sed tho watchful eye of bigoted pariizons
never slept mil hey had detected some cas. !
es, in which the disenso occurred after vario !
lous inoculsiim. Happy for the human race 1
was the issue OF this scrutiny, for it only incl
ted the advocates for the new doctrine, 10 !
watch with equal jealousy the effect of sub
sequ nj exposure ofthOee who had under one
the small pox the natural why. YtNal@j
The result OF this examination was, that
modified form Of the disease did attack per-
SOM second time. si ilIilt "
The mo'e frequent failures to secure inocu-
lated patients from after infection. wus ex-
plainod by tho friends Of the practice. partly
upon the supposition that there had been
some imperfcction in artiGcally communica.
ting tho discsse or some pecuiarity of the
consth ution At the lime and at tho worst.
u appeared that the malady was very ra,eIy,
If ever, fatsl in rs second attack, 30 much at
any rate wss gained by incrulation. The Carti
bsing rcct ived, that tho chance Of suh,e
ancnt evil was very g'ealIy lesscned by inoc-
uiaf'on, It's utility al length wos generally ad
mitted. In The last half of The 18th century.
'noeu'a'ion was practiscd in most parts of Eu
'ope and IN this Country, with entire, conf
icnce, but not 10 the extent, however, that
vaccination is IN this our day.

Universal adoption.
