By the other plan, that of inoculating for the Small Pox, by way of experiment, if from any circumstances whatever Vaccination has been inefficiently performed, the Small Pox is ensured, and that danger courted which all our cautions are intended to avert. Before concluding these Observations it may not be altogether useless to enumerate some of the measures that have been adopted in dif- ferent places to promote Vaccination. The fol- lowing are the most important of them. None but medical men to be allowed to vaccinate. Medical practitioners to form associations for promoting the Cow Pox, and discouraging the Small Pox.
