Excerpt from Propositions in Regard to Animal Vaccination: Read Before the New York Academy of Medicine, December 4, 1873 For the sake of comparison, we must first establish a standard of the degree of success which may fairly be expected to be attained, under ordinarily favorable cir cumstances, by the arm-to-arm method. We are not called upon to accept, as this standard, that phenomenal degree of success which has sometimes been reached by vaccinators of exceptional skill, such, for instance, as Mr. Marson, who, as stated by Seaton hand-book of Vaccination, London, 1868, p. Once did over 2, 000 vaccinations Without a single failure. This degree of success, I repeat, we are not to accept as the stand ard, although some of the results which I shall call your attention to, are even more remarkable.
