. Co7D-pox. Agreeably to the promise

nade in the last number of the ralladi em, we will give some of the character

stic marks and symptoms of each of the

four varieties of Cow-pox

1st. In the natural cow-pox, or that received from .the. affected, emu-, pus

tules are mare or less numerous, and appear on the hands or such parts as

have beer in contact with the effected

udder, of a circular form, with their edg

es mure elevated than their centre, and

of a color distinctly approaching to blue ; the fluid when it' first collects in the

pustule is perfectly limped ; afterwards opate and. purulent. The third or

fourth'. flay after the fluid is formed,

separah ;n takes place, leaving ulccrat

..en-fores aDout me nanus: tnese are

tifldesome to heal, and occasionally aV-ime a phagalemic appearance. The 'feYfHrgene rally appears about the third or ;dirth day after the infection has been recerved from the diseased cow the fe-

Ver appears with its usual symptoms of

lassitude, pain m the head, limbs and loins, rigor, vomiting; and a quickened pulse. hi some instances after these preparatory symptoms have goneoflf the

head is much allectcd and a delirium

arises.

The fever in the mean time abates

and ceases altogether about the seventh day. The fluid discharged from the

pustule during suppuralio i is highly

contagious, a:id the eyc-hd-, hps, nostrils

or any other part of the body is sure to

become inoculated with it, if scratched or rubbed with the fingers accidentally charged with the matter. Now in the second variety, as we shall presently see, the vaccine disease is modi.'ied and rendered much milder by inoculating one person from -mother, than to inoculate from an affected cow. It has been proved however, that the fluid loses nothing of its specific power after a long series of transmissions from individual to individual; for cows hive been inoculated with it in this state of descent, and have exhibited the disease in all its natural violence. 2d. Inoculated or genuine Cow-pox. The pathogno nic signs are vessicles few, most frequently a single one confined to the puncture; circular; centre depressed &,of a nluish brown colour ; edges elevat

ed; fluid clear and colourless to the last,

concreting into a brown or mahogany co

loured long adhering scat), surrounded

with a red areola till the hmamation sub sides.

The general progress after vaccina

antecedently by violence or accident, (which should be carefully guarded against,) falls oil' spontaneously between the 15th and 21st day. If the fluid in the vessicle be not transparant it forms a decisive proof that it is spurious or ineffective. The entire progress of the vaccine disease scarcely opens a door to any medical treatment whatever. No preparatory steps are called for, as in inoculating with the virus of small-pox; and all that can be necessary is a dose or two of aperient medicine, and light diet if the constitutional symptoms should be troublesome. Children should not be vaccinated when laboring under any cutaneous disease. Vaccine matter should never be taken and used in vaccinating, from any but the most healthy and vigorous children. The best time for obtaining the matter, is from the 7th to 11th dav.

The scab may be used after it drops offj

spontaneously, by dissolving it in a smnll

portion ot cold water. As vaccine matter, and also the scab, when kept a

considerable time,though with the great

est care, undergoes a change which de

prives it of its prophylactic power, it

ought alwavs to be used fresh.

Phe puncture should be made as su

perficial as possible ; for if much blood be drawn, the fluid may be comf so dihif-

d as to be rendered ineffective, or may

oe entirely washed awav. It the rete-

mucosum be punctured it is sufficient.

3d. Degenerate Cow-pox. To cause

of this degeneracy is not yet sufficiently

knowji; it may probably proceed from

the following causes: 1st. By using

genuine matter which ha undergone spontaneous change by being kept

certain period of time. 2d. Being taken

from persons possessed of particular ha

bits or idiosyncrasies; or from persons

laboring under certain diseases, especial-

TO THE EDITORS. GREECE. It seems that a Nation, which can boast with some little propriety of at

least a contracted freedom, has prohibit

ed succor directly or indirectly, from being conveyed by one of its subjects to

trie intrepid urecians. England wishes to screen her ingratitude by a plea at once frivolous and inconsistent. What surmises: "if we aid and assist the Greek's the Russians will then have it in th eir power from the reduction of Turkish authority, to add the countries of the

Grand Seignior to their dominions. Nor,

would Kussia stop here their ambitious Emperor would then strain every nerve for the conquest of the British East India possessions." We all know that the Emperor of Kussia, holds together an Empire already unlimited in extent, and desperate in character. Nothing but a positive injunction emanating from the dread of the Cannon, Mu-ket and, Culass, can hold this mass of half savage desperadoes together, therefore we must conclude that the opinion of the Russians conquering the Turkish empire and the Last Indies from the subjects of Great

Britain, aiding and assisting Grecian patriot's an absurd one. Let the Emperor of Ru -sia if he pleases order his hundred thousands to take the field, and, March for Turkey. At this time, what would be the situation of affairs amongst the disaffected mi i lions he should leave hehind him. A liuskiaski here, & a General Pepe there, would assert the rights of an injuwd, ray, an insulted people; w:uld convert the pea-ant into the veteran; would not only brave death, but would die that the despot might feel the fleets of a struggle where the motto of are we not men and, flic Lord of Hosts is our defence, would gleam in golden characters on the silky surface of a thou-! sand Flags. The high sounding appella-i tion of the czar of all the Russia mav terrify th-e depressed vassal, while the courageous and patriotic, citizen only wants an opportunity to rid themselves of an hypocritical potentate and the world of a conqueror. So much for British

fears, and Russian conquests.

This refusal on the side of England,

to aid and protect the gallant Grecians, has for a second time, within the present

age, testified to the world, that the theo

ry of British principles is one thing, and

the practice another. A few years since

Napoleon the bravest of the brave, and

the most generous of soldiers, confiding in British faith and hospitality, declared his military career ended, and asked the bare privilege of making some little

spot in the "fast anchored Isle,' his fu

ture place of residence. This appeal to

to a supposed generous Nation, was authoritively answered, by a prison, on the desolate rock of St. Helena. The Gre-

tria, avaricious Austria, cares only for Turkish and Egyptian commodities, and to secure these, from the hands of the would be religious Austrian?, the cruel

Ferdinand can well and truly say to the Inquiiiion, my whole attention shall be to keep down the spirit of intelligence, in my dominions, and keep up thee. Oh shame where is thy blush! Oh! humanity where is thy heaven born precepts! Greece cannot expect any thing good from irresolution, bigotry, or avarice. Knowing measureably, the several intentions of the nations above named, on Grecian affairs, 1 do not think, I am passing the bounds of credibility, when I say, that a people not yet named in these imperfect reflections, have it in their

power to do as much for the suffering Grecians, as any other people whatever. Men of Israel! sojourners in many lands; persecuted in many nations; the wealthy of many empires and kingdoms, is it not in our power to do what regular governments refused to do ? Money is the sinew of war, and war horrible as it ma be, can only fortunately decide the poinl between the despot Sz, the slave.

Grant by loans, or gratuitously ; you have the means: the object is a glorious one; the subject, a people struggling to be free.

Valuable Speech. The following is, perhaps, ays Niles, the most valuable speech that has been delivered during the present session of congress. If it has any fair or full rival, it is in that one of about the same length, delivered by general Hcrrick, of Maine, on amendments to the constitution, which shall be registered. On the 15th inst. when the question relative to the adjournment of congress yeas before the house of representatives, Mr. Wright, of Ohio, said "I am no physician, regular bred or quack, but I will promise a remady for the difficulty which seems to press upon gentlemen, which 1 think will be found efficacious.

thus gained, to petitions and original propositions; that done, apply ourselves to our work, seriously, to our usual time for adjournment, and then continue in session an hour later in the evening, and devote that hour to ihe delivery of speeches on subjects which have ceased to be interesting, and upon which every member of the house has wade up his mind; and which are not intended to produce effect here, or throw light upon the subjects discussed.

Gratitude an extract. I remember once that a Philadelphia merchant many

years ago, whose wealth and importance were only equalled by the goodness of his heart and the purity of his principles, rescued a Mechanic from the clutches of poverty, and what was yvorse in those days, the hands of the Sheriff. 7"he son of the mechanic was young; but old enough to know his father's benefactor Many years after this, the merchant fell

into ditliculties, and at a most trying moment, when all his former friends had forsaken him, the mechanic's son, now comparatively wealthy, stepped forward to his relief. "I am much indebted to you' said the reduced merchant. "By no means'' said the other, "I have only paid the debt which my father contracted at the corner of Chesnut street, thirty years ago, yvhen I was just old enough to understand the cause of my poor mother's tears." The merchant grasped his hand and burst into a flood of tears. J K Paper.
