Irish Vaccination

Anon

Genre:

News-Commentary, Drollery

Subjects:

Vaccination, Disease, Homeopathy, Cultural Geography


    Notes John Gamgee's warning that the 'vagrant cur nuisance' is causing an increase in hydrophobia in Ireland. Thinks that if the 'canine virus and the vaccine may be somewhat analogous', then 'a happy cure may be effected by a mad dog biting a rabid Irishman'.
