FORM OF AN ADDRESS

RECOMMENDED BY THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEWYORK DISPENSARY TO BE MADE TO PARENTS, BY CLERGYMEN, AT THE BAPTISM OF CHILDREN.

YOU who are parents must feel yourselves not less bound by religion, than prompted by affection, to guard your child from every impending evil; and especially from infectious diseases endangering its life. No human malady can give more serious cause of alarm than the SMALL-Pox. When taken in the natural way, it is, as you well know, violent, painful, and often fatal. Even in those who recover from it, the countenance is permanently disfigured, or the constitution receives some irretrievable injury, by loss of sight, deafness, tedious ulcers, white swellings, consumption, &c. In the Small Pox communicated by inoculation, there is certainly less danger; but notwithstanding every precaution, the inoculated Small-Pox has, in many cases, proved fatal: and it is further highly objectionable, since, by spreading infection, it endangers the

lives of all persons in the neighborhood, who have not previously had the disease. A mild and certain preventive of the Small-Pox, was a few years ago providentially discovered by the JENNERIAN INOCULATION of the Cow-Pock. This, after the strictest inquiry, has been approved, and is now extensively practised in most parts of the world. The new inoculation may be safely performed at every season of the year, and at every period of life, since it occasions no material disorder, nor is attended with any danger whatever. At the same time that no infection is communicable from the persons inoculated to others with whom they have intercourse, it never excites in the constitution the dreadful maladies above mentioned, which so frequently succeed both the natural and inoculated Small-Pox.

That you might not remain ignorant of so inestimable a blessing, this short statement is addressed to you; and as you value the life of your infant, and the safety of your neighborhood, you will immediately avail yourselves of the advantage offered to you; for doubly poignant must be your sorrow, if by neglecting so to do, your child should perish, or be materially njured by the Small-Pox.
