The opposers, however, appear to have overlooked these observations, and stilt .idhere t th^ir former argument ; which inly appear- to prose the spurious quali¬ ty of the matter u-<ed, anrl no more shows th* inr»fficacy of vaccinnation, as a pre- venfative of variola, than variolous in- lectinri is shewn not to be an antidote against itself; for several persons have been known to have had the small pox. twice. Therefore, if the small pox has sometimes been known to affect persons after vaccination, it no more proves its nonefficacy as a preventative than the second appearance of varioJa (small pox) proves its inetlicacy as a preventative a- tgainsl itself. Hence if we suffer ourselves to adopt the method of our opponent?, we qotonly reason falsely, but ungene¬ rously. In a medical point of view it is extremely unsafe to attempt to ascertain unknown causes from known effects, as by such unhappy methods of theorising we are liable to fall into erroneous con¬ clusions, much to the expense of the suf- fe.iug victims of disease. The next objection to vaccination as a preventative of the small pox, appears to be, t>at it is only a temporary remedy. This idea has been introduced, and pre- tendedly supported by those, who appear not to understand the true mode in w Inch contagion acts upon the system ; and who consequent!) possessed an opinion that there existed in the animal economy, a certain predisposition to variola, which could not be brought into general action, uuless solicited by certain exciting cau¬ ses, one of which they acknowledge to be vaccination ; and also that if does, for a certain time, either reduce 01 destroy this predisposition to small pox. But it seems incorrect to admit, that this pre¬ disposition is so far destroyed by vacci¬ nation as to free the system from any lia¬ bility '0 the small pox for a time, and should still not be so far destroyed as to prevent its future regeneration. It is a plain fact, that, if it prevent- the small pox, a day,—a month—a \- ar, or semi years—the predisposition must be so far - ■ •
