I presume the author means by 'after vaccination,' what I should express by after insertion of vacciolous matter, or after the attempt to vacciolate; and yet, when he mentions that zealots on one side have called the eruptions after it by one name, and those on the other by another; I am at a loss to comprehend him; because, if it were only after the attempt, the advocates of vacciolation would have no cause of surprize or disappointment in finding small-pox; the opponents no triumph.
