MRS. H—, a respectable Gentlewoman of this town, had the Cow Pox when very young. She received the infection in rather an uncommon manner: it was given by means of her handling some of the same utensils In the year 1778 the Small Pox prevailed very much at Berkeley, and Mrs. H— not feeling perfectly satisfied respecting her safety (no indisposition having followed her exposure to the Small Pox) I inoculated her with active variolous matter. The same appearance followed as in the preceding cases–an efflorescence on the arm without any effect on the constitution. |
