Excerpt from The Complete Works of the Late Rev. Philip Skelton, Rector of Fintona, &C. &C, Vol. 5 of 6: To Which Is Prefixed, Burdy's Life of the Author
Some years ago, the small-pox carried off a prodigious number of young people at Lisbum in the province of Ulster, where I then happened to be. One day with an other, seven were observed to die of this shocking disorder, during a considerable part of the summer, in this town alone, wherein, l believe, the1e are not more than one thou sand five hundred or one thousand six hundred souls., Of two hundred children that had been inoculated in that town and its environs, two only had died. About six in ten of those who took it in the natural way, were lost in spite of all the care and skill of the physicians, although all the children of the place, whether intended for inoculation, or not, were equally dieted, purged, and prepared for the attack. Let the physicians judge now, whence arose so great a difference of event between those who were naturally, and those who were artificially infected. For my part, I could assign no other cause for this, but the supposition of a natural crisis in every constitution, happening earlier in one, and later in another, whereby the blood and other juices of the human body are disposed to receive this par ticular infection. If the infection is obtruded, whether na turally, or artifically, on the constitution, at the timelof the crisis, then, if I am not much deceived, the disorder is taken, in the utmost degree of severity and malignity, wherewith the particular constitution seized, is capable of being infected, the constitution at that 'critical time, as it were inviting.the contagion, and forwarding its rise, in the course of the distemper, with its'proper pabulum, till the whole mass of humours is as thoroughly corrupted, and the symptomatic fever as highly exalted, as they can p05.
