The
private life of the late Benjamin Franklin, LL.D, late minister

|
| In 1736, I lost one
of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the
small-pox, taken in the common way. I long
regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had
not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention
for the sake of parents who omit that operation,
on the supposition that they should never forgive
themselves if a child died under it; my example
showing that the regret may be the same either way,
and that, therefore, the safer should be chosen. |
