- Notes:
- Followed by "Parents and others are earnestly requested to attend seriously to the above comparison and to the following certificate and recommendation." The certificate, dated Philadelphia, April 12, 1803, is signed by fifty physicians, who "declare our opinion, that inoculation for the kine or cow-pock, is a certain preventive of the small-pox ... and we do therefore recommend it to general use." The accompanying recommendation by the Philadelphia Dispensary includes the resolution "that we do ... earnestly recommend to the poor of the city .. the newly discovered and happy mode of inoculation for the cow-pock; which will be daily performed by the physicians at the Dispensary. Published by order of the board of managers, William White, president. April 25, 1803."
