In the British Islands some hundred thousands have been vaccinated ; in our possessions in the East Indies upwards of 800,000, and among the nations of Europe the practice has become general.
Página 131 - In these respects then, in its mildness, its safety, and its consequences, the individual may look for the peculiar advantages of Vaccination. The benefits which flow from it to society are infinitely more considerable, it spreads no infection, and can be communicated only by Inoculation. It is from a consideration of the pernicious effects of the Small Pox, that the real value of Vaccination is to he estimated.
Página 131 - in almost every case in which the small-pox has succeeded vaccination, whether by inoculation or by casual infection, the disease has varied much from its ordinary course ; it has neither been the same in violence, nor in the duration of its symptoms, but has, with very few exceptions, been remarkably mild, as if the small-pox had been deprived by the previous vaccine disease of its usual malignity."* Dr.

Some writers [the Report continues] have greatly undervalued the security Vaccination affords, while others have considered it to be of a temporary nature only ; but if any reliance is to be placed on the statements laid before the College, its power of protecting the human body from Smallpox, though not perfect indeed, is abundantly sufficient to recommend it to the prudent and dispassionate....
Página 139 - From the whole of the above considerations, the College of Physicians feel it their duty strongly to recommend the practice of vaccination. They have been led to this conclusion by no preconceived opinion, but by the most unbiassed judgment, formed from an irresistible weight of evidence which has been laid before them. For, when the number, the respectability, the disinterestedness, and the extensive experience of its advocates is compared with the feeble and imperfect testimonies of its few...
Página 131 - The testimonies before the College of Physicians are very decided in declaring that vaccination does less mischief to the constitution, and less frequently gives rise to other diseases, than the small-pox, either natural or inoculated.
Página 134 - From personal examination, as well as from their writings, they endeavoured to learn the full extent and weight of their objections. They found them without experience in Vaccination, supporting their opinions by hearsay information, and hypothetical reasoning, and, upon investigating the facts which they advanced, they found them to be either misapprehended or misrepresented...
Página 139 - ... testimonies of its few opposers ; and when it is considered that many, who were once adverse to vaccination, have been convinced by further trials, and are now to be ranked among its warmest supporters, the truth seems to be established as firmly as the nature of such a question admits ; so that the College of Physicians conceive, that the public may reasonably look forward, with some degree of hope, to the time when all opposition shall cease, and the general concurrence of mankind shall at...

From the whole of the above considerations the College of Physicians feel it their duty strongly to recommend the practice of vaccination. They have...
Página 132 - ... authorised to state that a body of evidence so large. so temperate, and so consistent, was perhaps never before collected upon any medical question. A discovery so novel, and to which there was nothing; analogous known in nature, though resting on the experimental observations of the inventor, was at first received with diffidence : it was not, however difficult for others to repeat his experiments, by which the truth of his observations was confirmed, and the doubts of the cautious were gradually...
