  <mods:abstract>The endpapers of this short work on smallpox vaccination contain a bookplate of Dr. Addison Marshall Clark (1857-1919), an Ohio surgeon, along with an 1894 inscription from Dr. Howard A. Kelly (1853-1943), presenting it to William Osler as “a small addition to your Americana.” It was then given by Osler to Joseph Hersey Pratt in 1905 who intended to give it to the Osler Library at McGill University in 1930 but then also presented it to Dr. Conrad Wesselhoeft of Boston, in 1943, before its donation to the Boston Medical Library. Inside cover and flyleaf of Luther Vose Bell's 1836 An attempt to investigate some obscure and undecided doctrines in relation to small-pox, varioloid and vaccination, showing bookplates and inscriptions</mods:abstract>
