    patients complain of thofe fymptoms fo accurately defcribed by Dr. Jenner. The virus is moft adive and certain in its effed when taken on the feventh, eighth, or ninth day. If taken and ufed immedi- ately, on either of thefe days, and before it dries upon the lancet, it feldom fails to excite the difeafe. If the virus be received upon glafs, and, when perfectly dry, covered with a thin coat of the mucilage of gum arabic, its ac- tivity may be preferved for fome weeks.
