JENNER’S

PUBLICATIONS ON VACCINATION AND SUCCESSIVE ASSURANCES.

_An Inquiry into the Cause and Effects of the Variolæ Vaccinæ, a Disease discovered in some of the Western Counties of England, particularly Gloucestershire, and known by the name of the Cow Pox._ London: 1798.

1798.--What renders the Cow Pox Virus so extremely singular is,
that the person who has been thus affected is for ever after
secure from the infection of the Small Pox; neither the exposure
to the variolous effluvia, nor the insertion of the matter into
the skin, producing this distemper.

It is curious to observe, that the virus, which with respect
to its effects is undetermined and uncertain previously to its
passing from the horse through the medium of the cow, should then
not only become more active, but should invariably and completely
possess those specific properties which induce in the human
constitution symptoms similar to those of the variolous fever,
and effect in it that peculiar change which for ever renders it
unsusceptible of the variolous contagion.

It clearly appears that this disease leaves the constitution
in a state of perfect security from the infection of the Small
Pox.--Pp. 121, 337.

_Further Observations on the Variolæ Vaccinæ._ London: 1799.

1799.--The result of all my trials with the virus on the human
subject has been uniform. In every instance the patient who has
felt its influence has completely lost the susceptibility for the
variolous contagion.--Pp. 152-158, 336.

_A Continuation of Facts and Observations relative to the Variolæ Vaccinæ, or Cow Pox._ London: 1800.

1800.--The scepticism that appeared even among the most
enlightened of medical men, when my sentiments on the important
subject of the Cow Pox were first promulgated, was highly
laudable. To have admitted the truth of a doctrine, at once
so novel and so unlike anything that had ever appeared in the
Annals of Medicine, without the test of the most rigid scrutiny,
would have bordered upon temerity; but now, when that scrutiny
has taken place, not only among ourselves, but in the first
professional circles in Europe, and when it has been uniformly
found in such abundant instances, that the human frame, when
once it has felt the influence of the genuine Cow Pox in the
way that has been described, is never afterwards, at any period
of its existence, assailable by the Small Pox, may I not with
perfect confidence congratulate my country and society at large
on their beholding in the mild form of the Cow Pox, an antidote
that is capable of extirpating from the earth a disease which is
every hour devouring its victims; a disease that has ever been
considered as the severest scourge of the human race.--Pp. 166,
338-339, 357, 365, 473.

_The Origin of Vaccine Inoculation._ London: 1801.

1801.--It now becomes too manifest to admit of controversy, that
the annihilation of the Small Pox, the most dreadful scourge of
the human species, must be the final result of this practice.--P.
183.

_Petition for Remuneration to House of Commons._ 1802.

1802.--Cow Pox admits of being inoculated on the human frame
with the most perfect ease and safety, and is attended with
the singularly beneficial effect of rendering through life the
persons so inoculated perfectly secure from the infection of the
Small Pox.--Pp. 184, 337, 355.

_On the Varieties and Modifications of the Vaccine Pustule occasioned by an Herpetic State of the Skin._ Printed in _Medical and Physical Journal_, August, 1804; and reprinted as a pamphlet, Cheltenham, 1806, and Gloucester, 1819.--P. 340.

VACCINATION EQUAL TO VARIOLATION.

1804.--What I have said on Vaccination is true. If properly
conducted it secures the constitution as much as Variolous
Inoculation possibly can.--Baron’s _Life of Jenner_, vol. ii. p.
15.

Duly and efficiently performed, Vaccination will protect the
constitution from subsequent attacks of Small Pox as much as that
disease itself will. I never expected that it would do more, and
it will not, I believe, do less.--_Ibid._ p. 135.

1806.--The security given to the constitution by Vaccine
Inoculation is _exactly equal_ to that given by the Variolous.
To expect more from it would be wrong. As failures in the latter
are constantly presenting themselves, we must expect to find
them in the former also.--_Letter to Richard Dunning, 1st March,
1806._--Pp. 339, 355.

_Facts for the most part unobserved or not duly noticed respecting Variolous Contagion._ London: 1808.

1808.--It should be remembered that the constitution _cannot_,
by previous infection, _be rendered totally insusceptible of the
Variolous Poison_. Neither the casual, nor the inoculated Small
Pox, whether it produce the disease in a mild or violent way, can
perfectly extinguish the susceptibility.--P. 338.

_Letter to William Dillwyn on the Effects of Vaccination in Preserving from the Small Pox._ Philadelphia: 1818.

1818.--My confidence in the efficacy of Vaccination to guard
the constitution from Small Pox is not in the least diminished.
That exceptions to the rule have appeared, and that they will
appear, I am ready to admit. They have happened after Small Pox
Inoculation; and by the same rule, as the two diseases are so
similar, they will also happen after Vaccine Inoculation.--P. 344.

LAST TESTIMONY.

1823.--My opinion of Vaccination is precisely as it was when
I first promulgated the discovery. It is not in the least
strengthened by any event that has happened, for it could gain no
strength; it is not in the least weakened; for if the failures
you speak of had not happened, the truth of my assertions
respecting those coincidences which occasioned them would not
have been made out.--P. 354.

The whole of Jenner’s claims re-asserted for Smallpox Cowpox by
Mr. John Simon, after Inoculation with which--

1857.--“Neither renewed vaccination, nor inoculation with
Smallpox, nor the closest contact and cohabitation with
smallpox patients, will occasion him to betray any remnant of
susceptibility to infection.”--_Papers relating to the History
and Practice of Vaccination._ London: 1857.--P. 513.
