Small pox, previous to vaccination, was plague
which exercised still destructive power than any
other and whole districts depopulated by it. The
physicians of ancient Greece and Rome it does not ap

to look for traces OF It's early progress farther east ln
the traditions of the people of China and Hndocstan,

country and those countries must be considered as the
cradle of small pox, which would most naturally be the
result OF dense population and the filth engendered
from poverty. Its first appearance in western Asia was
about the middle of the sixth century, and Europe was
not invaded till a later period
Ia the year 500, the city OF Mecca IN Arabia, was
besieeed by an army of Abyssinian Christians under
the command of Abreha with the expectation OF des-
