It> is. therefore, necessary that each person be vaccinated’ for hlmselft Any Indifference to ward this necessary precaution might easily lead to smallpox epi demics, even in this day of cleen- ' liness and enlightenment. Let us consider for the remain ing part of this broadcast a brief outline of the life and, achieve ment of Edward Jenner, the man directly responsible for saving of many millions of lives. He was the son of an. English vicar and wes born in Barkeley, Gloucester shire. May 17, 1749. In his day smallpox* was so prevalent that a majority of persons contracted it sometime during life—so common that if a criminal at large was not pock-marked that was stated on posters calling for his arrest, for he was a rare specimen. For many years smallpox was brought on by Inoculation, which was first practiced in the Orient, then in England and later in America. Jenner’s theory and practice were altogether different. He turned to the cow for his vaccine, having collected a great many de scriptions of cases of people who had had cowpox and afterwards had resisted smallpox contagion. He. put his t.'ieoiies to the test when cO’Wpox broke out on «. farm where Sarah Nelmes, a dairymaid, had become Infected. He selMt- ed a healthy boy about eight years old, named ..James Phipps, and inoculated him with cowpox, by -taking some matter from a pus tule on Sarah Nelmes’ hand and iijecting it into the lad’s arm. On the seventh day James complained f soreness in his armpits, and on the ninth day he became chilly, lOSt his appetite and had a slight headache. He feft a bit ill all ithat day and spent a restless night —but that was all there was to it. The next day .the lad was as well as ever—and Edward Jenner had m-de his discovery that was to give life to millions who, other wise, would have died of small- po.x Simple. Isn’t it? The vaccine now is prepared in laboratories throughout the world, including our own State Labora tory of Hygiene in Raleigh. The practice of vaccination spread. It was taken-up in Ameri ca i nd in the lands where small- nox claimed its first victims cen turies before Jenner was born, lu 1803 Spain sent an expedition to Ms possessions throughout the world carrying vaccine, which was even venerated in some places, because it meant emancipation from a dread scourage. One Itali an doctor wrote Jenner in 1803 that he. personully, had vaccinat ed no fewer than 600.000 persons.
