Only fragmentary provings.
Bears the same relation to smallpox that Antitoxin does to diphtheria.
An extended clinical record by competent and reliable observers
attest its curative value in variola - simple, confluent and malignant
- as well as in varioloid and varicella.
It has done splendid work in all potencies, from the 6th cent.
to the c. m.
As a preventive of, or protection against, smallpox, it is far
superior to crude vaccination and absolutely safe from the sequelae,
especially septic and tubercular infection. The efficacy of the
potency is the stumbling block to the materialist. But is it more
difficult to comprehend than the infectious nature of variola, measles
or pertussis? Those who have not used, like those who have not experimentally
tested the law of similars, are not competent witnesses. Put it
to the test and publish the failures to the world.
