An Intrepid Savant. r
A striking.r anemlutr of $1. Paul 8911‘:
intrcpirlity as n savant is related by on:
who. owing to his connection with the
hospital at the time. is in a position to
vouch for its authenticity in every par-
ticular. Some years ago hevisited Ham
while a severe epidemic of smallpox was
raging in that port. Noticing on his
Ere-turn to Paris that the mortality was
jdaily on the increase he began to enter~
tain doubts as to the efficacy of vaccinn-
firm as a prophylactic, and returlved to
«solve the problem to his own satisfaction
by experiments on his own x-rsnn. H.
5 acc-onlingly got himself vaccinated. and,
going a fortnight afterward to the Cbuitv
bosprtal. he coumgeously had himself
mandated with the virus of a man who
1 was dying of the smallpox. No illwflects
having resulted from this terrible expel-i-
meat 31!. Paul Bert was com Ietelv one
over tn the cause of vaccination. w‘hich
throughout the remainder of his life had
no warmer supporter. It is characteristic
of the savant that he never breathed a
word about this to any one. evidently re
garding_the trial to which he had bub-
bated hunself and the fearful‘risk which
6 had run as a commonplace episode in
the career of a rotary of sciatica—land.
