Small pox
inoculations in Carlow
As the success of the Suttonian Art of Inoculation depends
principally on the Efficacy of Medicines, the following Certificates are
re-published from the Dublin Papers, only to convince the Public, that
the Suttonian Artists can inoculate with the utmost Safety at any Season
of the Year.
WE the several principal Inhabitants of the County of Carlow, do
Certify, in Justice to MR. Houlton, that he has Inoculated within the
last four Months, our Children and above Six Hundred other Persons whom
he conducted through the Small Pox, with that Safety, Singularity and
Dispatch which justly characterize the Suttonian Art of Inoculation. At
the same Time, we thank the above Gentleman for his great Charity to the
Poor of this County, Three Hundred of whom he Inoculated gratis.

Mr. Houlton is now at Armagh and will Inoculate Families according
to their several Circumstances. He will attend at any Distance not
exceeding fifteen Miles and requests that all Favours may be directed to
him at the Widow McCullough’s in Armagh.
