Book Description
Excerpt from The Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal, 1850, Vol. 2 The series of observations and experiments by which the illustrious Jenner demonstrated the protective power of vaccination, form one of the most brilliant eras in the history of medicine. For generations had the small-pox sent terror and distress into all the nations of the world. Well authenticated records of its ravages, from the time of Maho met, to the close of the last century, have been preserved; and according to these, no disease which ever desolated the earth has caused so much suffering and fear. Amidst the snows of the extreme North, and on the sunny plains of the tropic, has it sent forth its noisome exhalations, polluting the air, and propagating its poison wherever victims could be found. Previous to the introduction, of vaccination, the deaths from small-pox in London alone averaged about two thousand annually, as appears from the bills of mortality. In a single year, 1776, more than three thousand and five hun dred died of this disease in that city. The Spanish historians of the conquest of Mexico relate that in a short time after the small-pox reached the capital more than three millions and a half of lives were lost by it in that nation alone.
