1. The Rivalta series. - This series was not, indeed, the first in point of date, but it was the first to attract public attention by the magnitude of the disaster. The particulars were first furnished by M. Cerisse, whose information has since been supplemented by a commission of inquiry instituted by the Government. I will abridge the account as it may be gathered from the various sources at our disposal as much as is consistent with perspicuity.
On May 24th, 1861, a child, residing with his parents at Rivalta, named Giovanni Chiabrera, was vaccinated by a surgeon named Cagiola with lymph preserved in a tube sent to him from Acqui. He was eleven months old. His previous history is that two or three months before his vaccination he had been used to draw the breast of a woman unquestionably affected with syphilis. His father, although said to have been the Don Juan of his village, containing a population of about 2000 souls, presented no trace of any recent or former syphilitic infection. Indeed, according to the account given, syphilis was a disease unknown up to this time in the place. That the child's mother was not syphilitic is shown by the fact that at a later period she was infected from her owner some other child. Chiabrera, then, was most probably infected with syphilis to start with.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a controversial topic that sparked intense debate in the 19th century: the possibility of transmitting syphilis through vaccination. The author, a physician of his time, meticulously examines four documented cases of what was then termed ââ Å"vaccino-syphilitic inoculation.ââ  He meticulously reconstructs each case, analyzing the vaccination practices, the individuals involved, and the spread of the disease. The book is a fascinating exploration of the scientific and social anxieties surrounding vaccination in a period when the understanding of infectious diseases was rapidly evolving. The author grapples with the complex question of whether these cases truly represent the transmission of syphilis through vaccination or whether other explanations, such as accidental contamination, are more likely. He weighs the evidence, scrutinizing the medical procedures employed, the health history of the individuals, and the patterns of disease transmission. His analysis is marked by both intellectual rigor and a keen awareness of the societal implications of his findings. The book offers a unique glimpse into the anxieties and uncertainties surrounding vaccination in the 19th century. It highlights the importance of careful scientific investigation in addressing public health concerns and the need for caution in attributing causality in complex medical situations.
