VACCINE INOCULATION

(Transcribed from Huntsville Republican, Huntsville, Alabama August 5, 1817, including misspelled words from original )

At a meeting of a number of the Faculty of Madison county, at Mr. Talbot’s Inn, on Saturday the 2d inst. the following resolutions were adopted:

Discover, Share and help us Preserve our lost and forgotten stories.

Become an Alabama Pioneers Patron

That viewing with deep concern the unhappy prevalence of that highly contagious and fatal disease, the SMALL POX, and possessing an easy and certain preventative in the Vaccine Innoculation, we therefore earnestly recommend its immediate and universal adoption to the citizens of Madison county.

That for the promotion of above desireable object, we, the undersigned Physicians, will innoculate gratis, all persons applying at our shops. That Medical and other gentlemen shall be supplied with genuine vaccine matter, gratis, as soon as sufficient quantity can be procured.

That this meeting be adjourned until Friday, the 15th inst. at which time a general attendance of the faculty is solicited, to co operate with us in this important design.
