    * * * * I have usually obtained my vaccine virus of Dr. , but I have so often failed to obtain reliable lymph that I have resolved to apply to try you. (4.) From Dr. H. N. James, Kingston, Mass., Jan. 9, 18G0. * • * * x The crust you sent me a few months since was perfectly satisfac- tory. (5.) From Dr. B.

H., Feb. 14, 1860. * * I received the vaccine virus you sent me, and am much pleased with it and the manner that you have put it up. (12.) From Dr. G. B.
