the ^mall Pox Hospital in London, it ap pears. that eleven 'thousand e>?ht hundred pjtients and upwards, were vaccinated : of which number two thousand five hun dred were afterwards proved to be secured from ihe natural small pox, by undergoing A second inoculation with small pox matter, while they were at the. same time exposed in an hospital, fu I of infection, without efiVct. We have also, recently been in Icjrmcd, thvii the V. S. frigate ( Jurrriere, arrived from the Mediterranean, with many , of the crew laboring under small pox, the Surgeon on boaid ascei tamed that not oito -who was thus afi'tCted, ever had the Vac* L cine, and it was found, that among otic, hundred and seventy-one, who had been , vaccinated previously, not a case of smail pox occurred, though they were constant' ly exposed in a crowded ship. Your committee are of opinion, that when a person has received the infection cf the small pox, Vaccination will not pre vent the progress of the disease ; yet they have lound that it is rendered much milder if succesfully performed, previously to the eruptive fever ? both diseases will then run their course at the same time, and prtrscrve-their characters distinctly. ? Sev eral cases of this nature have occurred in the^ity ; in one of which^ whi|e the erup tion of small pox was on the body, the flu id from the vesicle of the cow pox was employed for Vaccination, snd succeeded in producing the disease, unattended by the variolous affection. Dr. Thomas mentions a circumstance, which is similar ?he says, "ii has been found, that when the two fluids have been inserted separate ly and so near together, that the two^ pus tules which follow spread into one^by ino culating with the fluid, taken from one side of it, the Vaccine pustule will alone be produced ; while the fluid, taken from the other, excites the genuine variolous pustule with the general eruption over the body," , Your committee have endeavoured to ascertain at what tirue after the introduc tion of the Vaccine, the system may be . considered secure from the infection of, small pox. They are of opinion, from ev ery investigation on the subject, und their own experience, that the susceptibility to the small pox is not destroyed until the areolc has distinctly formed around the vesicle, which is generally observed on the 6th or 10th day after Vaccination? It has also invariably been noticed, that, wh^n a person has been inoculated with* or ex posed to the small pox, alter this period of the Vaccine disease, that the action of the, variolous matter has been wholly preclu ded. Your Committee state, with consider able rfgret, that the small pox continues to. exten<| Us ravages ; .they meet with it' Ih everyjwrt of tlue ciiy ; and ? observe, by the Ktport of the Board of Health, that the number of its Victims is daily aug-i mented ? They cannot but thmki that it is , suffered to spread through neglect, and the false confidence* which-prevails in Vacci . nation impropeily performed. We cannot coucfude t his part of our re port without remarking, with pleasure, that there is but one opinion existing a mong medical pe*sons4ic*?r; on this sub ject ; they are all so firmly convinced of the efficacy of the vaccine, that they have, ? invariably and positively refused to inocu late with the matter of , small pox in the first instance ; as a gratification, however* . to their friends, they frequently do it alter vaccination* and the result as frequently strengthens their conviction. 0 pon the second subject of investigation* your committee have ouly to observe* that no doubt exists of the occurence of several cases of secondary small pox; they* how ever* onVy add to tb$ *ery numerous in ... stances of the kind to be met with in every writer upon the.variolbtia disease. Thirdly. There ate not two diseases, to whi$h the human system it liable* that so nearly resemble each other as the Chick en-pox and small-pox ; this resemblance wa^particlarly striking dining the last . summer ? so much so, that at their com mencement, they were frequently mistaken by the most experienced physicians \ they , were esch* in^ many instanced ushered in witn the tame' symptoms, fever* restless ness, hot and dry skin, furred tongue* pains in the head and back* delirium and con* , . vuls'tons ; the eruption generally appeared at the ftame period* the third day of fevery and it was oal|r from its progress that a diagf>oslecouM be formed. So ntar fre tptentfy ia the resemblance of the two diseassa* that persnos have been often if* ?ciliated with the matter of chicken-pox* under the imptession that it Was that of , small- pox. .i, During the !a?t year \t was Jtenerally 'observed, that every eruptive disease ap feared- with peculiar malignity*, particu larly the sm(ill-|)ox*M. which, being epide rmic, occasioned nH others to partake in some measure of its- characteristics. Respectfully, we submit the abovfe re port to your con side rot ion. THOMAS G. PRIOLEAU,M- D. HORATIO H. WARING, M. U* ISAAC A* JOHNSON, M. U. Camden Vcazette. # *5? '? 7 HURSDstY, J.iWAhr 16, 181 f . - Wc are particularly gratified in having had an opportunity of witnessing the asto^ ni shining adroitness, with which Mr. Day Francis manages his performances, in the Necromantic Art. No one, who has not been an eye witness to the display of his occult deceptions, can hive the most distant conception of bis ingenuity. It is wholly beyond the-powerof human saga city, to point out the manner in which many of his feats are performed, although conducted apparently in the most fair, li beral, and undisguised manner ; before an attentive audience. Whilst we admire the excellence of his perfprmance, we are equally delighted with tiie manner in which he demonstrates the possibility of practicing, the greatest frauds upon persons engaged with hirm at any game of Cards. We therefore think hiraTentitled to a liberal support from a generous publick, not only because his ? exhibitions are calculated to amuse in the highest degree, but from a ? more noble und benevolent principle, that, ol imposing a restraint upon vice in its most hideous form, viz. Gambling. To1 do justice to the merits of Mr. Day Francis exceeds the fascinating language of "the -descriptive," we therefore advise all who; have not yet embraced an opportunity of! beholding the wonderful attainment^-of1 human ingenuity, to pay him a visit on Friday evening. Were we to close this eulogy upon the performance of Mr. Ftancis, without l>e stowing a tribute of applause upon the justly admired Mrs Francis, we; shtould conceive oui'sehres highly reprehensible. To an elegant person and agreeable man ners, is united in her all the charms of a delightful singer. JK.rtract &/ a Irlter f >orn a i; rn'lcman in Hmrnrntu , to unoJ&r m ? tAis t 'y, d'\tr(t ; D, r.
