Inoculation Praise From Suffolk Patient a Letter to Editor
A Printer cites letters praising inoculation via Mr. Robert Sutton of Chevington. The writer describes receiving crude matter on March 72 and shows a mild smallpox course with cold water, field walking, and early discharge. He notes Glauber salts and Colocynthen Aloe cathartic and lauds Sutton's method as safer and widely known. Six weeks later he reports recovery and continued confidence in inoculation.
