    Spurious pustules are frequently followed by ulceration at an early period. This ulceration is to be treated in the same manner as if it pro- ceeded from genuine species. An assurance of perfect security from vaccine, inoculation can only be obtained by carefully observing the whole progress of the disease. If any doubt ^remain, the operation ought to be repeated. When the patient has been previously ex- posed to the infection of the Small-pox, that disease will be superseded more or less, accord- ing to the time which is suffered to elapse before the inoculation of the Cow-pock. The advantages of vaccine inoculation being now fully ascertained, it is the duty of every member of society, and particularly of every member of the medical profession, to discourage the inoculation of the small-pox.
