But we have yet another examjde of an extremely well-vaccinated town in this epidemicâWarrington, an official report on which has just been issued. It is stated that per cent, of the population had been vac- cinated, yet the comparison with unvaccinated Leicester stands as follows: Epidemic of 1S98-93. Small-pox cases per 10 000 population, deaths " Leickstek. Wakrixgton. Here, then, we see that in the thoroughly vaccinated town the cases are more than six times, and the deaths more than eight times, that of the almost unvaccinated town, again jiroving that the nmst efhcient vaccination does not diminish the number of attacks, and does not mitigate the severity of the disease, but that both these results follow from sanitation and isolation.
