Vaccination against small pox was performed on 70 occasions.
This very low figure is probably due to the intensive vaccination campaign towards the end of 1923 which probably made a clearance of person willing to be vaccinated.
The prescriptions dispensed numbered 25,452.

This difference is due to occasional forgetfulness on the part of the numerous anaesthetists in entering cases in the anaesthetic register.
These operations were performed by the Government staff, by the University Clinic under the control of Prof. Digby and in dental matters by Dr. Shovelton and in a few cases by other dentists.
