Again for want of more knowledge, the earlier self-experiments to reproduce yellow fever by fucculation with its products, were useless There was plenty of courage in them, but they came to nothing. Thus:

After baying uselessly attempted experiments on arunals they ex- perimented on themselves, inoculating the black matter at the very moment in which the moribund patient rejected at placing this matter in their eyes, or in wounds made in their arms, injecting it twenty times in various parts of their short, devising every sort of means for experimentally traine mitting yellow fever. All these experi- ments were without result.
