At the meeting Of the Pathological Society
on Tuesday evening, January I'd, the case OF
f,a veterinary Inspector Of the county of Mid
dlesex, and whi!e superintendent post n'ortens
examination of d bullock which had euccumb-
ed to the plague, be punctured the back IT his
left hand. He Wns, at the tin1e of the acci-
dent, iu perfect health; but five days subse-
auently be discovered hard and slightly
raised .plmple on the site Of the wound; the
when be tegun to complain Of feverfshncss
and pains in the back and limbs. Mr.: Hun
cock then consulted q surgeon, who pro-
nounced the sore due to vaccination. Dr.
Quaiu, the author Of the paper read before
the Pathological Society, says, the ;vesicle
On this (the tenth) day resembled that Of vac
cinatiou on the ninth day. It was full Of
color; the centre depressed, Of browpish
color also; the whole. surrounded with
large red nrcola. The hand IVES swollen
beyond the knuck1es, and the swelling
extended up the arm. The lympathtc
vessels were tnaamed, and pain aud
upeasiness we're felt IN the arn-plt. There
WAS much febrile disturbance" Such werc
the appearance Of the vesic1e and the symp-
toms felt By the patient at Uxbridge, but the
folks In that town very properly induced Mr.
Hancock to come up to the metropolis, where
some Of the first authorities In the medical
world examined the core, and pronounced It
to t. be z' nnmistakaely Of vaccine character:
before the Pathological Society brought ont
number of eminent scientific men. such as
Drs. Quain, sanderson, Murchisou, Professor
Gamgce, &C., all Of whom held more or less
10 the opinion that rindtrpest Is either old
smallpox Or new one Of more yirulent form.
Professor Gamgee colncided with Dr.. Sander
sons statement that cutancous eruption Is
not always present in the cattle plague, al
though lesious OF the intestines are 50 and
he added, moreover, that anatomical differ
cnccs existed between the eruptions Of small
pox and those OF rIadtrpesf. These ynrious
objections, however, did not shake the belief
Of the majority In regard to the pathology of
tho two diseases the viaw being entertained
that differences In membrane may account for
the variation Of the disease In the two cases.
DR.. Murchison agreed with Dr.. Sandcrson that
the eruption In the rt',derpesf differed con-
E1derably 3ft0m that Of human rariola, and be
admitted, too, that there was no vesicular
these differences might be accounted for on
the ground oi dissimilarity In skin between
man and cattle. Tho Doctor continued as
follows:
III was not merely in the cufaneous cruptons

and ganC1enous patches found in the fourth stom-

been found in tho ktomachs Of human beings who
had died Of unmodlded smallpox. 1t Was well
