THE SMALL Pox.--As This terrible and
loa thsomc disease is now raging fearfully
at many points, and may visit our city DUR
ing winter, We think the following obscrva-
lions concerning it worthy of publication:
l. That infants should be vaccinatsd in Q
month after birth.
2. That vaccinat ion should be repeated at
the age of fourteen years.
8. That the older persons grow the less
danger there is Of an attack Of small psx or
varioloid, which is small pox modified by
previous vaccination, and that after fifty
there is no danger of an attack.
l. Still, if there is any danger of unusual
exposure to the disease, or if it prevail
largely in community, it is safer TO be
vaccina ted again.
5. Nurses in smsllpo hospitals who are
re vaccinated are almost wholly exempt
while other nurses who are careless of revac-
cination have varioloid in cases ten times
more numerous
q. That the further the remove of the vac
cine matter from what was taken IRON the
cow, the more necessary is revaccination,
that is, vaccine matter loses some of its
power ia every person it passes through
hence, if city practitioners should take all
| their matter from the COW, direct, every ter
years, the community would be greatly SAT
er.
Z. No authenticated cares have yet ocsurr
| ed where any disease has been ccmnuniea
ted through vaccine ma tier, other than mod
fled small pox. This statement shsuld b.
