An efflorescence appeared, which on the fourth day was rather extensive, and some degree of pain and stiffness were felt about the shoulder; but on the fifth day these symptoms began to disappear, and in a day or two after went entirely off, without producing any effect on the system. CASE IV. Mary Barge, of Woodford, in this parish, was inoculated with variolous matter in the year 1791.
Six months! You do not know how I detest the country, partridges, rabbits and all. For heaven's sake, find some other remedy for me. "'There is homoeopathy, said he, smiling. 'Hahnemann is quite the fashion now. "'Let us have homoeopathy! "'You know the principles of the system: 'Similia similibus! If you have fever, redouble it; if you have smallpox, be inoculated with a triple dose.
Perhaps they were going to get it back some day; perhaps when they could produce a hundred coupons out of the Daily Citizen; perhaps when they got their hair cut; perhaps when they consented to be inoculated, or trepanned, or circumcised, or something.
Well, that's the way I came by it, I was inoculated for it, but I was always a hard subject to inoculate.

It was the doctor's practice to make as slight an incision as possible upon the skin, and there to lodge a thread saturated with the variolous matter.
I noted down some figures which I give here for those who are interested in the question of anti-typhoid vaccine: In November 1914, 379 deaths. In November 1915, 22! What a new and wonderful victory for French science! I must add that three of our nurses have contracted typhoid fever; none of them was inoculated; twenty who were inoculated caught nothing.
Now it seems the man who inoculated him was quite ignorant; for two or three other children, whom he attended, have caught the disease since, though he was positive that they were safe. Don't you think we had better have our boy inoculated again immediately, by some proper person?" "Undoubtedly, my dear; undoubtedly. But I think we had better have him vaccined.
Diphtheria was so prevalent that the Red Cross on receiving a patient, gathered in the whole family for a few days, inoculated, washed, and gargled it. They also toured the villages around, digging out typhus and other infectious cases, thus stopping the spread of infection.
