![cinated are liable to be partially affected by the infection of smallpox : that at an early period, it produces a slight rash, at a more advanced period, papulaB, which disappear without suppurating, afterwards pustules, which continue a few days, and i at length complete smallpox *. Accor- - dingly, in some of his cases, we have a , slight eruption of red pimples, most grave-j 3y described as a case of smallpox after J vaccination; in others, an eruption of hardl] papulae j in others, small pustules, which i decayed in three days. Nay, what is? still more wonderful, we have cases set: down bv him as cases of natural smallpox t succeeding to vaccination, in which there w'as no eruption at all; only a slight fever, which went off in two days. Any attempt to refute this doctrine by reasoning would be to insult the understanding of every man of common sense.
