_Mr. Gatti._ I was always an enemy to any general plan: I paid the less regard to preparation, because I knew, that in all the Levant, where the natural small-pox is as fatal as elsewhere; and where you may find old women who have inoculated ten thousand people without an accident: the only enquiry is, whether the patient is prepared by nature. All that is considered, is, whether the breath be sweet, the skin soft, and whether a little wound in it heals easily. Whenever these conditions are found, they inoculate without the least apprehension of danger. _C. for the Pris._ We shall now call a witness, who has already been examined by the counsel on the other side. Mr. CHANDLER. _Couns. for the Pris._ You, Sir, seem to have observed the Suttonian practice with a good deal of attention: please to inform the Court, whether you attribute the success of this new method to the virtue of his medicines. _Mr. Chandler._ I attribute his extraordinary success neither to his medicines, nor his cool regimen, but principally to his method of communicating the infection by means of the crude lymph before it has been ultimately variolated by the succeeding fever; and I found my opinion on that being the only circumstance in which he differs from other inoculators. _Couns. for the Pris._ Which, gentlemen of the jury, you will please to observe, is no secret: it is, indeed, a circumstance which could not possibly be concealed; for the method of performing the operation must not only be obvious to every patient, but to every by-stander. Dr. GLASS sworn. _Couns. for the Pris._ If I am not misinformed, you practice physic in the city of Exeter? _Dr. Glass._ I do. _Couns. for the Pris._ I presume, Doctor, you have heard of these mighty miracles said to be performed by the Prisoner at the bar? _Dr. Glass._ I have; and have moreover been at some pains to discover the cause of these miracles. _Couns. for the Pris._ Do you know of any other miraculous inoculator? _Dr. Glass._ There is, in Somersetshire, an operator who hath inoculated, at least, seventeen hundred patients, with the loss of two only. _Couns. for the Pris._ Are you acquainted with his method? _Dr. Glass._ I am. _Couns. for the Pris._ Is it different from that of the Prisoner? _Dr. Glass._ It is apparently, though perhaps not essentially, different. _Couns. for the Pris._ Pray, Doctor, favour the Court with an account of this practice.
