VACCINE MATTER.-We have recently
learned some interesting facts relating e
vaccination. Mr.. Estlin, distinguished
surgeon of Bristol, England, has succeed.
ed in obtaining new supply of vaccine
matter, directly from the COW. In the
early part Of August last, she learned thai
the disease existed in some cows on'a farm
in Worcestershire, and repairing imme
diately to the place, found it in proper
state for furnishing matter for inoculatioT
in young woman who had taken. It il
milking. With this matter he inoculateq
child, on the 18th of August, and OBJ
tanned a perfect case of kline peck disease
The succession has been carefully pre-
served and the matter has been freely
distributed by Mr.. Estlin to different part
, of the world, some was sent to DIR. Jack
son, of this city, taken from the tenth sue
cession of cases. DR.. jackson and DR.
I Putnam have succeeded in introducing tn
, disease here with this matter, and hay
freely communicated the matter to thei
: professional brethren, who are now usin
Il pretty extensively; so that matter {
the eleventh and twelfth generation fror
the COW, can readily be obtained.
1 6 1t is an interesting question how fa
. the disease thus introduced resembles til
! kline peck that we have long had anon
7 US; and the answer is most satisfactor.
for, so far as can be observed, it is PEI
!, fectly the same. There has not of cours
been time to test the question, by practi'
i al observations as to its greater or le:
! power in preventing small pox, but in !
Z course, and appearance, there is no appf
. lciable difference. This new introductic
s of kline peck matter, though a circur
I stance of great interest to the medic
] profession, and to shecommunity, does n
weaken, but greatly strengthens the con

cination, as It has been practiced amol
& US, for forty years past.
