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.

The LONDON SOCIETY for the ABOLITION of COMPULSORY VACCINATION,
114 VICTORIA STREET, WESTMINSTER, S.W.
OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY.
I.--The Abolition of Compulsory Vaccination.
II.--The Diffusion of Knowledge concerning Vaccination.
III.--The Maintenance in London of an Office for the Publication
of Literature relating to Vaccination, and as a Centre of Action
and Information.
ADDRESS OF THE SOCIETY.
Smallpox is a member of the group of diseases, described as zymotic
which originate in unwholesome conditions of life, and in common
are diminished and prevented by the reduction and removal of those
conditions.
In times when the laws of health were imperfectly understood,
it was believed that by poisoning the blood with the virus of
smallpox, or cowpox, a future attack of smallpox might be escaped.
While many kindred medical practices have been discredited and
forgotten, Vaccination, endowed by the State, has survived, and
has entered into legislation, and is enforced with fine and
imprisonment. It is in vain for Nonconformists to plead that
they do not believe that Vaccination has any power to prevent
or to mitigate smallpox, or that it is attended by the risk of
communicating foul diseases. They are told they may believe what
they like, but that vaccinated they must be, for the benefit of the
rite is settled beyond dispute, and that only fools and fanatics
venture to question what has been irrevocably determined.
It is to attack and overthrow this monstrous tyranny that the
LONDON SOCIETY has been established. The members desire to
enlighten the public mind as to the history of Vaccination, as to
its injury in communicating and intensifying other diseases, and as
to the failure of the compulsory law to stamp out or even diminish
the ravages of smallpox. Many too, whilst disinclined to discuss
Vaccination as a medical question, or to surrender confidence in
its prophylaxy, are opposed to its compulsory infliction. They
maintain that every remedy should be left to justify itself by
its own efficacy, and that of all prescriptions the last which
requires extraneous assistance is Vaccination; for its repute is
based on the fact that its subjects are secure from smallpox,
and in that security may abide indifferent to those who choose
to neglect its salvation. Even nurses in smallpox hospitals,
it is said, when efficiently vaccinated and revaccinated, live
unaffected in the variolous atmosphere. Therefore, they hold that
to compare an unvaccinated person to a nuisance, as is frequently
done, is to make use of an epithet that implicitly denies the
virtue asserted for Vaccination, a nuisance being a voluntary
danger or annoyance which another cannot conveniently avoid. They
also hold that to establish any medical prescription, and to
create interests identified with that prescription, is to erect
a bar to improvement; for it is obvious that any novelty in the
treatment of smallpox must, in the constitution of human nature,
meet with resistance from those whose emoluments are vested in the
established practice.
The LONDON SOCIETY, therefore, claims to enlist the energies, not
only of those who resist Vaccination as useless and mischievous,
but also of those who, true to their faith in liberty, would
leave its acceptance to the discretion of the individual. In the
controversy into which they enter, they propose to employ all the
familiar agencies wherewith in England revolutions are effected in
the public mind and in Parliament; and they appeal with confidence
for the sympathy and support of their countrymen. The Vaccination
Acts under which they suffer have not been enacted with the full
cognizance of the nation, but have been forced through indifferent
Parliaments by the persistency of medical faction. The members
of the SOCIETY are confident that, as soon as the truth about
Vaccination is fully known and appreciated, the freedom they
contend for will be conceded without fear, and that posterity will
view with amazement the outrage upon human right and reason that is
at present committed under the shadow of English liberty.

I would earnestly invite the attention of those who are concerned
for the repression of wrong, and the promotion of human welfare,
to the great and growing question of Vaccination. We hear on every
side that we cannot be secure from Smallpox unless we have our
blood poisoned with Cowpox in infancy, in adolescence, and at
stated periods throughout life. The prescription is so unnatural
that only custom renders it tolerable; it excites suspicion and
aversion wherever rationally considered; and dislike and disgust
are justified by inquiry. Smallpox is not averted by Vaccination;
and the virus introduced to the blood bears with it other diseases,
even the worst of diseases, and enfeebles and predisposes the
constitution to other maladies. In short, Vaccination under cover
of maintaining the common health inflicts upon it serious and
deadly injuries. And by a strange exercise of tyranny, this most
mischievous superstition is made compulsory and enforced by fine
and imprisonment; and Englishmen are dragged from their homes and
treated as convicts because they refuse to submit their children to
the abominable rite. Mr. BRIGHT says, “THE LAW IS MONSTROUS, AND
OUGHT TO BE REPEALED.” Yet is this monstrous law maintained!
Possibly you are opposed to Vaccination, or indifferent, or a
believer. In any case, I ask you to subscribe for the VACCINATION
INQUIRER. If you are opposed to Vaccination, it will stimulate
and inform your opposition; if indifferent, it will remove your
indifference; if you are a believer in the rite, it may convert you
to a better mind.

WORKS ON VACCINATION.
William White.
Sir Lyon Playfair taken to Pieces and disposed of: likewise Sir
Charles W. Dilke, Bart.: being a Dissection of their Speeches in
the House of Commons on 19th June, 1883, in defence of Compulsory
Vaccination. Second Edition. 6th thousand. 1s.
“It is a very dainty pamphlet of two hundred pages, so printed
that it is a luxury to read. There are six pages of index, which
will give some idea of its fulness of matter. Mr. White does all
his work in a workmanlike way, and this work is no exception. He
gives the two speeches of Playfair and Dilke in full, and fully
answers them. They are literally taken to pieces and disposed
of. Read William White on Playfair and Dilke. It is the end of
controversy. Reply is impossible.”--_Herald of Health._
“Mr. White has done what has never been done before,--that is,
he has taken to pieces Sir Lyon Playfair’s speech, analysed his
arguments, and exposed much of what is untrustworthy. The book
ought to be in the hands of all who desire to understand the
question of Vaccination.”--_Newcastle Weekly Chronicle._
“This is a clever and most reasonable criticism and overhauling
of Playfair and Dilke’s opinions, of which the best idea can
be gained from a study of the book itself, which will be found
complete in every detail.”--_Brighton Gazette._
“The official vindication of vaccination was contained in Sir
Lyon Playfair’s speech backed up by Sir Charles Dilke, and Mr.
White has taken the various points of both speeches, item by
item, and has replied to them with a clearness and effectiveness
which must go far to shake the foundation of vaccination itself;
whilst, in our view, it effectually disposes of the plea for
_compulsory_ vaccination.”--_Northamptonshire Guardian._
“Anti-Vaccinationists will gloat over these pages. It is said
that anything can be done with figures. We certainly at the time
thought that Sir Lyon Playfair showed they were in favour of
vaccination. On reading Mr. White’s book we are just as keenly
impressed with an opposite view. We recommend the work to our
readers.”--_Eastern Daily Press._
“A remarkably well-written book by a practised hand. The subject
is an unlovely one, and the proverbial ‘both sides’ have much
to say; but this book ought to interest, amuse, and inform both
sides. It everywhere tells of patient thought, industrious
research, and a keen mind.”--_The Truthseeker._
