There has been no increase Of smallpox since
our nst issue, and all those who were afflicted
with IL are recovering We can attribute our
escape from this loathsome malady to no other
cHuse than the very general vaccination among
a.I class Of our citizens, and the prompt nea-

Every man woman and child should be vac
,,uaicd The benefits to result from it are not
t.0a'.h,c. hence those who neglect this duty sin
against themselves and society. Dr. J. S. Cos
.au, Resident Physician at the Marine Hospital
a' baltimore, in recent letter addressed to the
editors Of the Baltimore SuS, in regard to vac
.nnUcu says
"An article which appeared in your paper Of
Oh, .ih, from Baltimore Physician" is cal
.n.H'ei to do a great deal Of harm TO the public
II refer especially to his remarks on VAGINA
nou, 10 which he says that cit is not the only
remedy, Sc. thus Ei@iug the impression to the
IH.lD That vaccination is rot 10 be relied mp.
uu ..s means Of protection from sll-poK 81.
FROM my stan dpoint Of observation IA ply
s..,u To- the Marine Hospital, ia which inSttu-
tuu over 900 cases have been treated since the
a. !cwic began, IN November, IS7A, feel il my
DUTY 90 The public to correct this impression, and
lu evidence OF the tHSsJIbis rdiUe or UdccindiiOH
add tie weight Of my testimony to this great
and oHiI means OF protection. During the fiscal
year ending October 81, 1872, there ISL
small puN ct>cs treated ia this hospital OF
'ujs number only ~ OF per cent (thirty eight
EUulrei'hs uf one per cent died having one or
m' &C. H."t marks whilst - per cent. died hav-
'nr 900 marks or impetf feet ones What greater
'AHh., ui fHc value ot the at discovery Of
,tHlcr could bee offered la proof ~ its value
'I'js only necessary to walk through the
w.tt' OF the hospital To- see the good result OF
''u Lrntson. Those patients having one or more
F.Ht H'rAs scarcely require to keep their beds
Do. a. whilst those unvaccinatel battle all treat
icut, and die in the proportion above given.
M's't and all NY nurses are daily living
examples OF the value Of vaccination ono of
.e have err "aa he "''snse. neither SPOT or
mark ct it IN any WAY. whilst We have been in
fhr most intimate relation with IT, in all its worst
forms, for more than one year
% would certainly advise every resident Of
'"" city io he yaccinated, whether they have a
good mark on their arms or not, and if it does
NOS take, repeat II again and again. For
many reasons vaccination may not be successful
az uac time, whilst at another il may be. II

t.e from our midst
There can he no doubt but that proper vacci-
nation is the best preventative to smallpox,
therefore common prudence and common safety
..ile that all should be vaccinated occasionally
can do no harm End may do good
