Nov. 23d.] A healthy strong man, inoculated at the same time, and from
the same person, with the last, accompanied him also on the 26th, when
the arm of this patient appeared in a very doubtful state respecting
the infection.
On the 28th, when he came to the house, the skin at the incision was
discoloured, felt hard, seemed thickened, did not appear inflamed; nor
did he allow it had itched, or that he had perceived any alteration in
his health.
Things remaining in this state, I inoculated him again on the 30th in
the morning, being the eighth day from the first inoculation. On the
evening of the same day he complained of chilliness, attended with pain
in his head and limbs, and passed an uneasy night. These complaints
lasted in a very moderate degree for two days more, but without the
least appearance of a fever. A very few pimples were discovered
upon the decline of these symptoms, but they soon vanished without
maturating.
