According to tfie plan, therefore, now proposed to attain these ' important j ob- . jects, h will be the duty of the agent of Vac: cination for the United States, to keep up a constant supply of genuine matter and to appoint a number of auxiliary agents, one at least in each county, , wherein our plan may be adopted, to whom he shall forward resh : matter as often as may ;be found necessary; ' so ihat every citizen, who may be accidental ly exposed to the contagion of .Smallpox or who may at anytime hereafter, wish to pro tect his family against it, " shall have it in his power to procure the means of security; jm- mediately, free of any costs, and in any part of our Widely extended country. r I Much good has been already accomplish -d under theact of Congress, passed in 1813, to encourage Vaccination." But, after all the experience we have gained, I am satis fied, it is only in some such way as now pro posed, .that we can guard our fellow-citizens effectually, for. any-length of time, against -the fatal effects of the Variolous contagion a plague which may very aptly be compared to those destructive fires, - that so often dies-' troy our dwellings, and lay in ashes our most I populous towns. trneu uus disease is .v rirst introduced into any place, it can easily be extinguished by an'; immediate resort to Vaccination ; but if .we are unprovided with: Kihe Pock jiatter. or delay its use for a short time, the Smallpox is certain to spread it ei and soon carries terror or death into eve yy iUmily liable to'take it. . 1 : , 's Should you find it asfeeable to accede to my. wishes, you will please, byhe return of the Man, to sigTuly your consent to serve &s S Any communication from you relative to i Vaccination; or any of the concerns of this Insititution,' will always be received with CTeat respect, and be punctually attended to, . ov vouf obedient and humble servant , ' " " . - JAMS SmTH, 1 United States' Agent of Vaccination To Dr. Joh F.

Appointed at a meeting convened in the city of Washington, on the 22d December, 1.819, in pursuanoe of a notice in the National In telligencer for this purpose. I wish the public distinctly to under stand, that I received these communica tions with the matter, from Dr. Smith, unsolicited, and without tny previous knowledge. , - Under regulation 5th, requiring "that if the matter sent should be used and hae the desired effect, one or more of the qrusts, being the produce thereof, is to be returned to the agent of vaccination," &c. I commenced using the matter. In the, course of six or seven days, I hadvaccin ated nine persons. Twelve days after vaccinating the last, I found one of thetn, a female eight years old, and at the dis tance'of thirteen miles from Tarborough, labouring under a very yiolent fever. I continued with her a few days, watching very attentively every symptom. On the third day, of the fever, a slight eruption was discovered on, the face and arms. The following day, I had an op portunity of cxamiaing a youngman whom I had vaccinated on the same'day with the little girl. a.nd foundlthat he also had many eruptions.' I was now convinced that the disease was produced by vaccina-j tion; but what that disease was I could not conjecture. I immediately sent for Dr. James Philips, a neighbouring physician, to whom I had given some of the matter tenor fifteen. days before.; The Doctor arrived and informed me that he had used the matter in a few cases, and that it had produced ian eruptive fever ! . After exa mining the cases before us,' we J.-Vreed to Visit those - Who had been vacciuated in the neighbourhood, and to meet on the following day, and to hold a consultation with regard to the nature of this' disease. The public safety required that this sub ject should undergo Abe most ' deliberate investigation and should if prove to be smallpox, no time should be lost irt pro- ! claiming it such. ; With feelings of this kind did Dr. Philips and myself meet the next day; and after carefully considering jhe subject, we. concurred in the; opinion, that - it was smallpox. ' The first ' step Lwhich common sense dictated to me, was to announce to ine cuizens oi mis section of ihe country, my: opinion of the nature of this disease, and to procureas soon as possible, the'gehuine vaccine matteV; the means calculated to check it. ' I therefore repaired ,to.Tarborpugh the same day; where some of the suspicioijs matter had also been used. On my arrival, ; I exa mined the cases in town, and stated t0 se veral of the citizens of the place my sus; picipns .;iand for the purpose of obtaining; soroe of the genuine vaccine matter, I ad dressed a letter to John A. Cameron,1 Esq? of Fayetteville, sent an 'express toTJr." Perrington, - of .Scotland-Neck,, and ap plied in- person to 'Henry A; Donaldson Esq at the Falls 'of Tar Kiyen From these, gentlemen I had the ' sausfctron- to receive some:, genuine maiter,,aud in less than three. days after vsuspected we hadr the smallpoxamong us, almost every, fa mily in which' tke'supickus disease existr ttd.were vaccinated.' fr r ; Should further proof be '.wanting,! to '.rc niove every charge of neglect with respect ; ytysclfln this, business, 1 would refer to a ij. addressed by trie to the conimission ers ofrar:- rough; dated 2 1st December, 1821 of this disease, and the result of that con- jcrcnccrecooamenuing, at me same umc. that proper mean. should be used to guard our 'citizens ragainsVits.cnitegt6ri until the genuine vaccine maher'could be 'procurt cu.,i. o - - ....;:v--t. v i: :' ) '; ; i Dr. Smith asserts; that had J used the matter in time; and sent Tiim la the crusts, he would have -answered all my Queries; and lrve prevented all the mischief which the fears has happened. At what time I couin - nave usea.nis matter, na no.w i. could have. proQured crjustsYwithout pr64 ducii g Smallpox, is to me inconceivablei He should have recollected : that the dis ease, gives off its contagion .by, the time the matter, is con crQiecl into crusts, if nut be fore, , Havingrpivrtcued tlie ciuists at an advanced stage of the diRcasp,ahd hayini- transmitted them to nin l mi.srht have re tcivcu, itiicr vnc CAijiraium f)i i. or i - days, from Baltimore, the place of his re sidence, his prophylactics for preveiuirig Smallpox., Lknow of nv other preventive he could have s.ent me; except his kihe-1 j pock matter, but my : confidence in thath was af this -time -entirely destroved. If Dr. Smith could have preventelall the! mischief produced by the.varjnfouis disease in Edgecombe county , why lias he ipt been ! more successful iniarresting its progressm j the city of Baltimore, where he resides,and j where the greater part ofthe peopfe have jeither' been vaccinated or have had the Smallpox? In this sect ionof the country, inot more lhan one in an hundred had been vaccinated previous to the Introduction of Smallpox here..; It was with great diffi culty nurses could be-procured to attend the sick. If I have deviated: from , Dr. Smith's directions iu the use of his matter, I flatter myself that in the sanie proper-; uon, nave tne Deopie oeen oeneniea. oo far, hovyever, fron: enlireiy neglecting his directions, will be seen that he acknow ledged having received a; letter from me, dated the !29th December, lS,2!,nine days after I suspected we had Smallpox. In this letter I enclosed to him a crust from one of the patients I first vaccinated.' In answer to my letter, he states that 'the crust had no one appearance of the genu ine vaccine, and he did not know what to make of it." 1 am sorry to s )', after all my exertions to arrest this disease, many have taken it in the iiaturar way.. The unhappy circumstances which led to its farther extension were such as were nei ther in the power of Dr. Smith or myseit to control. The disease was so "mild in' tnetnrst pei sons wno hat: bt?en vaccinat ed, and had progressed so' far before. I had discovered its nature, .that many had received the contagion before they were the subjects of the genuine vaccine dis ease. ! Also the contrariety of opinion, not only among the.citizens generally, but al so among the -physicians of Tarborough, contributed not a little to the propagation of this disease. Soroe whose opinions were entitled to respect asserted most positive ly that it was not Smallpox and 'that greater confidence ; might be reposd'in those 'opinions, offered to pledge every thing that was dear to them in its support. Thus an almost unrestrained,intercourse was kept up among the people, until ma ny had taken it in the natural way. ,'-1 have at this moment the consolation of reflecting, that the whole of my -conduct in this affair is entirely approved by the inhabitants of Tarborodgh, and that they are quite sensible; of the? il liberality with which I have been treated by Dr. James Smith, U. S. Agent of Vaccination. As Dr. Smith has acknoledgedo have sent me the matter through some unac countable and unfortunate mistake, which has produced Smallpox, I would admo- j nish those who, from the vilest prejudice, jhave heaped upon me much" personal a buse, to desist, lest they fall into contempt. Not a little has been said of the appear ance of a'new disease in Baltimore, called varioloid. Whether it is the new disease we have among us, or true Smallptix, I am not at present prepared t,o say. But the neiv forns or modifications which may be supposed to disihiguish this disease from Smallpox, so far as'I have observed, are not more extraordinary than 1 daily witness in other 'disorders to which the human system is liable. "And I have the pleasure of announcing to the-world, that many of bur citizens ,are the living nionu, ments of the efficacy of the vaccine dis ease in shielding their constitutionsagainst; its invasion,' No person, as yet, has suf fered an attack of "Smallpox, Tin this sec tion of .the couiitry, who I haye reason to believe' had ! beetrunderj; the; proper Jnflu ence of this benign remedy, p, As an aiix iliar) agent for the c.uuncy of Edgecombe, I disclaim all furt her correponnce with Dr. James Smith.'
