KI N E‘ P ‘
Mi: Enrron-—-In the present excitement of
feeling in our Borough and neighborhood, I
‘VUUIM 8 .nla'ce'i_r. your columns for the
insertiotifiofla few _remar‘ks] on the “vaccine dis-
i§e'tise.” or?kitiej2o'.1:. It. is not my purposetto
enter itito a detail of proofs of its etlicacy in the
prevention ‘of varlola or primary small pox, as
that is a truth of which few at this time have
any doubts; for, as Bosqtiet has well s=iid—"If
there exists a truth in the world solidly estab-
lished, it is the virtue of vaccination.” But
there is an error which prevails to some extent,
calculated to weaken and'distroy muchiof that
security and confidence which the public with
propriety may, 8:. ought to feel in‘ the protective.
power of this wonderful agent—-I mean the
opinion that the vaccine disease degenerates-,
and after a few years loses its power of render-
ing the human system izisensible to the ‘conta-
gion of small pox, or in common parlance "runs
out" adoctrine, as I believe. having its oristlfl 10
faticy and conjecture rather than fact. Toen-
deavor to expose the fallacy and unfounded
character ofthis doctrine, is the ‘sole object ofthe
present communication ; and I would observe,
it is contrary to analogy anti all the known
laws which regulate the phenomena ofthosc
ldiseases possessing a prophylactic chara'cter-'-
that is, the power of rendering the system once
infected by them unsusceptible to their subse-
quent influence. No one, I apprehend, ever
thought ofapplying such a doctrine to measles,
whooping cough, &c. or supposed- that there
could be any less security against a second at-
riod of a few months or Weeks from the time of
infection. Ifuot, then why apply it to the dis-
‘ease under consideration ‘I Is such an applica-
tion warranted by experience, and the observa-
tion of facts? so far from it, that every sttccess-
ive investigation, has only tended to prove more
conclusively. not only the entire.__but the ever-
enduring ttficacy of vaccination. Another
circttmstance which makes strongly against the
do't':trin‘e, ‘is, that a'm"ong its a‘dvocat'es there is
a total discrepance of opinion as :0 the time
when the kine pox becomes inert. Sotne have
fixed it at three. five or seven years; whilst
others havecarried it to ten, fili'teen,.twenty. and
I have seen even thirty years stated as the time
when itceases to '-protect the ‘system, or “runs
out." \Vere the opinion founded in truth, it
seems incredible that all the varied and almost
infinitely multiplied ‘researches sincelthe days
of Jenner. a period of more than ‘forty years,
should not have resulted in fixing the precise
period ofits duration. or in some approxtinatioii
to it. But stick is not the fact. Opinions are
now as various and discordant as they were
when the subject was broached for the firsttitne.
And here the writer can truly say. that during
a professional practice of more than 26 years, he
has never met with a single fact which coull in
any way he made to sustain such a position, _
whilst very many have occurred to his observa-
tion xvhich make the contrary almost c'ertain-. He
-may farther be allowed to adduce his ow
to prove as rriuch perhaps as can be proven by
:1 single circtttnstance. He was vaccinated in
180! or 2. but cannot certainly afiirm which-—
has never been re-vaccinated; and within the
last twenty years has been a witness to no less
than five different irrtiptions of small pox, at
different intervals cftime, and ‘has as often ‘ren-
dered his professional services in visiting and
prescribing for the infected, and has always done
‘it with as little reserve and precaution as if in
attendance in any case of ordinary occurrence,
and to the present time has escaped unharmed
either by ‘t/arioloid or any thing else, bearitig a
‘relation to small pox. But as neither the expe-
rience or range of observation of a single indi-
vidual is sufiicient to establish a point of so great
importance. we areobliged to consult the expe-
rience and observations of others. The follow-
ing is from a report of the Natiotial Vaccine
Establishment of Great Britain, in 1815':
“From the y'ear 1723 to 1792. the Islands of
Mauritius anti Bourbon. in the Indian Ocean,
were ravaged by the small pox at four different
periods, which carried offone-fourth, one-third,
and in 1771, one-halfof tlieirentire population.
Vaccination was introduced not long after its
discovery by Jenner in 1798. and in 1815, the
board report that, '
"In the Island of Bourbon,tbe beneficial con-
sequences of vaccination forcibly corroborate‘
the utility of vaccine iunoculation. from its hav-
ing banished the small pox from the island;
and the medical practitioners declare unanim-
ously that no instance has occurred of small
pox being contracted after regular vaccination.
From the time of its inlroductiort, to the 14 of
February 1814. it was eamputed that 200,000
persons had been vaccinated.”
Here then was ample time and opportunity to
allow the,vacci,n to degenerate and become im-
poter'it.- The laws of nature are uniform in
their operation, and what occurs in one instance
we feei assured will obtainin all ; and were it
true that vaccination. as has been asserted by
some, ceases to protect the system after
three. five or seven years, very few in the
ins't'tmce, above reported could have escaped
the contagion of.-small pox, instead of enjoying.
as they did, an entireimmunity from the disease.
Dr. W. Jefirey,of Cambus Baron, near Stir-
ling, in Scotland,“ in his report to the same
institution, says,
“Vaccine innoculation has acquired such a
character in this vicinity that not a case of
small pox is heard of, and [challenge the whole
country round to produce an instance in which
the innoculation has failed to preserve the sub-
ject from the variolous contagion. notwithstand-
ing their being exposed by lying in bed. eating
and dritiking with -those infected with the small
pox.'? I ‘ '
We next advert to a report ofthe French Roy-
al Academy of Medicine, published at Paris in ‘
1829. r
“In 1828, the small pox ravaged the town of
Marseilles. Terrified by its havoc. the authori-
t as of that place transmitted thefcletails to the
requesting that body to drawup an_‘instruction,’
to reassure the public‘ confidence and extend as
widely as possible. all the knowledge which
could he obtained on the subject of suiail pox,
varioloid and kine pox." _
y The result of this demand was a treatiselon
vaccine by M. Bosquet; adistinguished member.
The result of this inquiry so far as it applies to
the subject, before us, I‘ give in the language of
M. Bosqttet himself: f‘ .
"Could I-—he says—-lay before the profession
she entire correspondence oftliis Academ_y,tl'iey
would see that l'or,on'e who asserts. more than :1
liundrcd deny the. tlegencratioii tlfkine pox. and
the latter are those who have made vaccination‘
their special study, and who incessantly culti-
vate and practice it.‘ Vact-iuia is to day what
it always has been and its etlect once produced
never perislies again ; anti 1 loudly protest a
gainst any perversion of nty lztnguage to counte-
nance the idea of degeneration or impotence of-
vacciuution.” _
On the subject of re-vac:-inntion, he would
advise it in those cases where fears are entertain-
ed that the previous infection has not been the
true. bill the “false vacciue.”‘
“In this case—he says--I willingly consent
to repeated re-vaccinations, although my faith in
vaccination is so implicit that no one is better
persuaded than inyselfoftlieir utter inutility in
an immense titajority of cases."
The opinions of M. Cazenave, who deservedly
and corifessetlly stands at the head ofthe profes-
sion as a writeron 'diseasrs of the skin, ttext
claim our attention. In his work on cutaneous
diseases, American edition, 1832, his language is
as follows:
"Notwithstanding the assertions ofsome phy-
sicians, the space oftime that has elapsed since
the vaccination does not appear to m'otlify in the
least the anti-variolous (that is the protective)
power of cow pox; forou the one bantl. persons
who have been vaccinatetl for 20 years. resist
thevcontugion ofsmall pox as well as those who
have undergone ,the opperation but a few years
or months before ; and on the other. the small
pox wheti it does appear in vaccinated persons
is always niodil'ietl* whether the vaccination
ltas been perforriietl but a few days or whether
years havs elapsed.”
The brief limits ofa newspaper article will
not allow a more extended reference to individ-
ual authorities—=-but I think I may say without
l’ear'of r:o'nt‘radic'tion, that with very few excep-
tions American physicians are the decided ad-
vocates notonly ofthe entire, bttt the never-fatl-
ing efficacy of vaccination. Enough,I appre-
bend, has been shown in its ‘favor to warrant
our resting in the assurance, that what it is to-
day. in its protective power. st will be fifty years
hence, should the subject ofit live for that peri-
od. _ ' _ EMERY Br‘-SELL, M. D.
Norwalk, April 2-1, 18-11.
* In other words. is in that form termed vario-
loid. By the report of the French Academy
before referred to, it is shotvn that vatioloid oc-
curs in nearly the same proportion of cases after
primary small pox. as after the vaccine. It is
computed that it happens in one casein every
00 after small pox. aml in one in every 500
after vaccination—a. difference so trifling as to
be oflittle consequent-e.
