Vaccination. The total cases of vaccination were 375 as against 96 last year. The increase in the number was caused by the sudden outbreak of Small-pox in a village at Ping Shan, the residents of which were consequently called up to be vaccinated. The 6 cases of Small-pox which happened in that village were not fatal. Only 22 cases of vaccination were unsuccessful.
