Content Description
He has read in the Herald that there are doubts over the efficacy of innoculation by Cow Pox. As the small pox is commoon in Knightsbridge his friends induced him to take his son to Dr. King in Swallow Street. His son's arm "ripened with such fruitful symptoms" that many others were innoculated in consequence. The boy is now wholly well and can be seen at his warehouse.
