PUBLICATIONS ON VACCINATION AND SUCCESSIVE ASSURANCES.
An Inquiry into the Cause and Effects of the Variola Vaccinæ,
a Disease discovered in some of the Western Counties of Eng-
land, particularly Gloucestershire, and known by the name of
the Cow Pox. London: 1798.
1798.-What renders the Cow Pox Virus so extremely singular is, that
the person who has been thus affected is for ever after secure from
the infection of the Small Pox; neither the exposure to the
variolous effluvia, nor the insertion of the matter into the skin,
producing this distemper.
It is curious to observe, that the virus, which with respect to its effects
is undetermined and uncertain previously to its passing from the
horse through the medium of the cow, should then not only become
more active, but should invariably and completely possess those
specific properties which induce in the human constitution symptoms
similar to those of the variolous fever, and effect in it that peculiar
change which for ever renders it unsusceptible of the variolous
contagion.
It clearly appears that this disease leaves the constitution in a state of
perfect security from the infection of the Small Pox.-Pp. 121, 337.
Further Observations on the Variola Vaccinæ. London: 1799.
1799. The result of all my trials with the virus on the human subject
has been uniform. In every instance the patient who has felt its
influence has completely lost the susceptibility for the variolous
contagion.-Pp. 152-158, 336.
A Continuation of Facts and Observations relative to the
Variola Vaccine, or Cow Pox. London: 1800.
1800. The scepticism that appeared even among the most enlightened
of medical men, when my sentiments on the important subject of
the Cow Pox were first promulgated, was highly laudable. To
have admitted the truth of a doctrine, at once so novel and so
unlike anything that had ever appeared in the Annals of Medicine,
without the test of the most rigid scrutiny, would have bordered
upon temerity; but now, when that scrutiny has taken place, not
only among ourselves, but in the first professional circles in Europe,
and when it has been uniformly found in such abundant instances,
that the human frame, when once it has felt the influence of the
genuine Cow Pox in the way that has been described, is never
afterwards, at any period of its existence, assailable by the Small
Pox, may I not with perfect confidence congratulate my country
and society at large on their beholding in the mild form of the Cow
Pox, an antidote that is capable of extirpating from the earth a
disease which is every hour devouring its victims; a disease that
has ever been considered as the severest scourge of the human
race. Pp. 166, 338-339, 357, 365, 473.
The Origin of Vaccine Inoculation. London: 1801.
1801.-It now becomes too manifest to admit of controversy, that the
annihilation of the Small Pox, the most dreadful scourge of the
human species, must be the final result of this practice.-P. 183.
Petition for Remuneration to House of Commons. 1802.
1802.--Cow Pox admits of being inoculated on the human frame with
the most perfect ease and safety, and is attended with the
singularly beneficial effect of rendering through life the persons so
inoculated perfectly secure from the infection of the Small Pox.-
Pp. 184, 337, 355.
On the Varieties and Modifications of the Vaccine Pustule
occasioned by an Herpetic State of the Skin. Printed in Medi-
cal and Physical Journal, August, 1804; and reprinted as a
pamphlet, Cheltenham, 1806, and Gloucester, 1819.-P. 340.
VACCINATION EQUAL TO VARIOLATION.
1804.-What I have said on Vaccination is true. If properly conducted
it secures the constitution as much as Variolous Inoculation possi-
bly can.-Baron's Life of Jenner, vol. ii. p. 15.
Duly and efficiently performed, Vaccination will protect the constitu-
tion from subsequent attacks of Small Pox as much as that disease
itself will. I never expected that it would do more, and it will not,
I believe, do less.-Ibid. p. 135.
1806. The security given to the constitution by Vaccine Inoculation is
exactly equal to that given by the Variolous. To expect more
from it would be wrong. As failures in the latter are constantly
presenting themselves, we must expect to find them in the former
also.-Letter to Richard Dunning, 1st March, 1806.-Pp. 339, 355.
Facts for the most part unobserved or not duly noticed res-
pecting Variolous Contagion. London: 1808.
1808. It should be remembered that the constitution cannot, by previous
infection, be rendered totally insusceptible of the Variolous Poison.
Neither the casual, nor the inoculated Small Pox, whether it produce
the disease in a mild or violent way, can perfectly extinguish the
susceptibility.-P. 338.
Letter to William Dillwyn on the Effects of Vaccination in
. Preserving from the Small Pox. Philadelphia: 1818.
1818. My confidence in the efficacy of Vaccination to guard_the
constitution from Small Pox is not in the least diminished. That
. exceptions to the rule have appeared, and that they will appear, I
am ready to admit. They have happened after Small Pox Înocula-
tion; and by the same rule, as the two diseases are so similar, they
will also happen after Vaccine Inoculation.-P. 344.
1823. My opinion of Vaccination is precisely as it was when I first
promulgated the discovery. It is not in the least strengthened by
any event that has happened, for it could gain no strength; it is
not in the least weakened; for if the failures you speak of had not
happened, the truth of my assertions respecting those coincidences
which occasioned them would not have been made out.-P. 354.
The whole of Jenner's claims re-asserted for Smallpox Cowpox by Mr.
John Simon, after Inoculation with which-
1857.-"Neither renewed vaccination, nor inoculation with Smallpox,
nor the closest contact and cohabitation with smallpox patients,
will occasion him to betray any remnant of susceptibility to infec-
tion."-Papers relating to the History and Practice of Vaccination.
London: 1857.-P. 513.
