S M* ONE IN Natural Small-Pox. For twelve centuries this disorder has been known to continue its ravages, de- stroying every yeaç an immense pro- portion of the population of the world. It is in some few instances mild, but for the most part violent, painful, loath- some, o^ingerous to Hfe, and always -^ -CANTAGIOUS^ One case in three dangerous, six DIES. At least half of mankind hâve it, con- sequently one in twelve of the human race perish by this disease.—In London 3000 die annually—40,000 in Great Bri- tain and Ireland. The éruptions are numerous, painful, and disgusting. Confinement, loss of time and expence are certain, and more or less considérable.—Précautions are for the most part unavailing.—Médical treatment necessary, both during the disease, and afterwards. It occasions pitts, scars, sçams, &c. disfiguring the skin, particularlythe face. The subsé- quent diseases are scrophula in its worst forms ; diseases of the skin, glands, joints, &c. and loss of sensé, sight or hearing frequently follow. It is attempting to cross a large and rapid stream by swimming, when one in six perish. Inoculated Small-Pox. For the most part mild, but sometimes violent, painful, loath- some and dangerous to life, al- ways Contagious, and there- fore gives rise to the Natural Small-pox, and has actually, by sp: eading the disease, increased " tèral mortality 17 in every Vac CINATION*. 'ne in forty has a dangerous disease, one in three hun- dred dies.—And in London one in 100. Eruptions are sometimes very considérable—confinement loss of time and expence certain, and more or less considérable—pré- paration by diet, and medicine necessary—extrêmes of heat and cold dangerous—during ill health —teething and pregnancy to be avoidëd—médical treatment usu- ally necessary. When the dis- ease is severe deformity proba- ble, and subséquent disorders as in the Natural Small-pox. It is passing the river in a boat subjecl: to accidents, where one in 300 perish, and one in 40 suffer paptially. Is an infallible § préventive of the | Small Pox, al- !j ways mild, free k from pain or dan- si ger, NEVER FA- Si TAL, NOT CON- TAGIOUS. No éruption but where Vac- CINATED.--No confinement loss of time or ex- pence necessary. No précaution— no medicine re- quired—no con- séquent deformi- ty.----No SUB- SEQUENT DIS- EASE. It is passing ô- ver a safe bridge. jfarents andothers are earnestly requested to attend scriously to thj& -above comparison and to the following certificate anH recommendation. Philadelphia, April 12, 1803. We the Subscribers, Physicians of Phjladelphia, having carefully considered the nature and effects of the newly discovered means of preventing, by Vaccination, the fatal con- séquences of the Small-Pox, think it a duty thus publicly to déclare our opinion, that In- oculation for the Kine or Cow-Pock, is a certain préventive of the small- pox ; that it is attended with no danger, may be practised at ail âges and season* of the year, and we do therefore recommend it to général use.
