By Increase Mather, D.D.
That Eminent Physician, Dr. Walter Harris, a Fellow of the College of Physicians, entertained that Learned Society April 17. 1721. with a very Judicious Discourse, De peste, which he has now published, with a notable Appendix, De Inoculatione Variolarum, or The Small Pox Inoculated, (which was part of a Praelaction De Curatione Variolarum, afterwards made before the same Society.) He takes notice, that a plain, and most Innocent way (as he calls it) of Inoculating the Small Pox, found out among the unlearned Orientals, was now by the good Providence of GOD brought unto us, who are a great way distant from ⟨p. 2⟩them, ad comparandas, si DEO placeat, Variolas tutas ac benignas, that so we may have the Small Pox after a safe, and easy manner, in that Method, if GOD please graciously to smile upon it. And it arrives unto us the more seasonably (the Dr. says) because the Small Pox of the Confluent sort of late hath made fearful Destruction among People of higher as well as lower Quality in the Nation: whereas the Inoculation duly managed, a Confluentibus Variolis contrahendis nunquam non servat Incolumes. mireque tuetur, forever preserves and wondrously defends People from suffering that sort of Small Pox, which has proved so dangerous.
