The Table speaks for itself and deserves careful study It may, however, be useful to consider the statistics as grouped under age periods. Under Ten Years of Age.—The vaccinated cases numbered seven, and there was no death. These seven children had come into close personal contact with cases of small-pox in the pustular stage. At the same age-period the number of unvaccinated cases was 43 and there were 16 deaths, yielding a mortality percentage of 37.2.
