John T. Thurmond on his CMSR's

"J. T. Thurman, Company C 21st Georgia: Age 29 and in good condition; was vaccinated March 3, 1863, by a medical student, from a scab. He stated that every man vaccinated from this scab suffered with a sore arm similar to his own, and that nearly the whole regiment was affected. He was admitted July 3, convalescing from fever and diarrhea. There was a large dark elevated scab about twelve lines in diameter. The usual treatment was prescribed. He improved. On the 28th vitiligo appeared. He continued to improve and on August 16 was returned to duty."
