The wife of the British Ambassador in Turkey, in March 1717 wrote, followingthe variolation of her son, to a friend inEngland: “The small pox, so fatal, so general amongst us, is entirely harmless here by the invention of ingrafting….I am patriot enough to bring this invention into fashion in England.
