Abstract
SMALL-POX does leave behind it an insusceptibility to vaccinia. If the writer of the letter will refer to Dr. Monckton Copeman's article on “Variola and Vaccinia, their Manifestations and Inter-relations in the Lower Animals: a Comparative Study” (Journ. of Path, and Bact., vol. ii., 1894, p. 408, et seq.), he will find references to the protection conferred by variola against vaccinia. That systematic investigation has not been carried out is probably due to the fact that the subject has so little practical interest.
