Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 7: Original Communications; Wilmington, January, 1881 Biography has yet been written.* The matter is now alluded to at all by the writer, merely to account for the intense and quite pecu liar interest with which he has, little by little, gathered together the facts connected with the first introduction of inoculation and vaccination in America. It has been a great consolation for all the scurvy treatment he has himself received to know that it is but a faint and imperfect repetition of the outrageous villainy with which men, far worthier and nobler workers in a similar field, were for long life times pursued, in the same community, by the ancestors of the very men who now constitute the leaders of the boston clique, for it is one of the peculiarities of matters medical in Boston, that not only is surgical genius and even talent, but also controlling influence of the coterie so well known by that expressive title, a matter of birth and inheritance. Like the wages of sin it is visited. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
