Abstract
IF vaccination inhibits, arrests, modifies, or mitigates variola because it is one with variola, if the attenuated virus and local eruption interfere with the more virulent and generalised eruption, may not a reciprocal antagonism be expected? If the minor malady interfere with the major malady, how much more should the major malady, within a reasonable period of years, confer some degree or manner of general constitutional protection in respect of the minor, if not a modification of the local result of vaccination? If I mistake not, systematic investigation on this point, on the human subject, has been strangely neglected in England, if not elsewhere.
