SMALL Pox IN BosToN. Considerable al
arm has been felt in Boston on account OF the
prevalence of this disease Prof. J. ID. Knowles
of the Baptist Theol. Sem. at Newton, Mass
lately died suddenly in consequence Of an attack
oft. The Daily Advertiser says we hear
almost daily of distressing cases, frequently ter
minatng fatally, and arising of course from
culpable neglect Of vaccination" The same
paper contains the following which will serve
to relieve the anxiety Of many who doubt the
permanent protection afforded by vaccination.
One thing however il is important should be
remembered, viz, that while eGeetuai inocula-
ton with the genuine matter is perfect pro-
lection, yet not every nominal attempt at vac
cination is ehectua. Many, as was the case
with Prof Knowles, are deceived by relying
on process performed by some unskillul person,
who is incompetent to decide whether it is Ct.
fectual or not. The experiment of subsequent
incubation should therefore be tried, by every
one who desires to feel secure. The Small Pc,
is the most harmless Of all diseases where ih'
proper precautions are taken by vaccination Il
prevent its spread.
