Description
As to the disorder in the heels of horses which English farriers, and after them Dr. Jenner, call the "grease," he has asked persons at the North, but Mr. Bowdoin says the disease does not exist in America; presumes the matter is better understood in Virginia, where next to England the horse is most attended to; Dr. Jenner asserts that the vaccine disease is of equine origin; asks for information for Dr. Jenner and himself from Mr. Eustis who as legislator and physician must be interested; has received a copy of the President's message from Genl. Varnum.
