Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 7: Original Communications; Wilmington, January, 1881

It has led, too, to the introduction of animal vaccination in America and through that, to the pleasant consciousness of having conferred, whether ever fully appreciated or not, an incalculable benefit on the American people.

Whatever gratitude he may owe to the people of America whoso intelligence and good sense led to universal and almost immediate appreciation and acceptance of true animal vaccination, or to the almost innumerable members of his profession everywhere, even in Boston, who have applauded his efforts and adopted his teachings, he owes none whatever to the controlling medical clique of Boston or the Journal which is that clique's most subservient and subsidized organ. For the ten years which have elapsed since, in September, 1870, true animal vaccination was introduced in Boston, that Journal has published no single word to even inform its readers of the remarkable revolution in practice by which this method has become an American institution. So long as it was hoped that its feeble effort might prevent the acceptance of the innovation its weakly issues were sure to display every attainable slur and squib unfavorable to it, no matter how irresponsible, disreputable, obscure, or even anonymous its source.
