Some account of what is said of inoculating or transplanting the small pox. By…

VII. We are yet but Learners; and hope through Experience to grow more expert in our Practice. In some of my Experiments hitherto, I have found the Fever somewhat more intense for a few Hours before the Eruption, and the Number of the Pustules to be somewhat more than usual in the Levant. Whether this be from the Season of the Year, or our Different Climate, or our high way of Living, or our want of more Experience I cannot say, till I see further. But Experience declares things to fall out for the main, ⟨p. 12⟩just as the Renowned TIMONIUS and PYLARINUS have related. And I have hitherto by the Blessing of GOD been able with ease to manage what Fever my Patients have had, and have never done any thing, but what every body knows is done in other common Fevers. Upon the first Eruption this Fever abates and goes off, the Patients grow so easy, that one has much ado to keep them in the condition of Patients. They have not the least Touch of that Second Fever, which People generally dye of in the common way. The Pustules are very few in some; in others, they are two or three Hundred, but at the worst, nothing to what is usual in the ordinary way of Infection. They quickly dry away. The Patients are abroad again, sooner than they who are infected in the common way; and they are on all accounts as well as they were before.
