This is equal to 81 per cent. of deaths, which means that if the unvaccinated people had been vaccin- ated probably only about 130 would have died, a saving of nearly 400 lives. The proportion of vaccinated, cases to un- vaccinated, is about the same this year us lant, which shows that the recently vaccinated people are not contracting small-pox, and also suggests that many more people would have caught small pox if there had been no vaccination doce, and also that a lot more people require vaccinating. The average age of the vaccinated people who caught small pox was 26; of the unvaccinated it

was under 5 years."

These figures simply corroborate the results recorded elsewhere. When vocal- nation was first introduced as a preveu tive of small-pox, Dr. JENNER declared that it gave immunity for life. The Medical profession were obliged to modify this view in the light of later experience, but whether vaccination gives immunity for lite, for seven years, for five years, or even for one year only, is a matter of relatively small import ance.
