INOCULATION

Jack's Reference Book for Home and Office : An Encyclopaedia of General Information: Medical Dictionary · 1909 · p. 2
is the introduction of contagious matter by applying it to scratches made in the skin. Before the days of vaccination small pox was frequently inoculated in order to induce a mild attack of this disease, and thus provide immunity for the rest of the patient's life. The practice has been prohibited by law because it frequently gave rise to serious epidemics of small pox in the neighbourhood. [s. 377]
