Cowpox and smallpox are intimately related. Pus taken from a human smallpox sore and innoculated into a cow gives the beast cowpox. The cow's system reduces the virility of the smallpox germs. Pus from a cowpox sore in turn, through vaccination, makes humans resistant to smallpox; it makes them immune.
