That genuine vaccination is n preventive
of Small Pox is as well settled, is absolute
security MS it is, that having the Small PoN
once, will secure you against a second time
having the same disense.
The principal, if not the only reason why
Small Pox occurs after being vaccinated, is
because individuals wholly ignorant of the
difference between genuine and spurious Kline
Pox, take it upon themselves TO vaccinate.-
Many kind mother or father has hazarded
the life of their child by tamperng with,they

produce the genuine and spurious Kline Pox
the one secures you, the other is worse
