Small-pox.
No case of Small-pox occurred during the year.
Vaccination.
The table below gives some idea of the working of the Vaccination
Act in Hampstead since 1900. I am indebted to the Vaccination
Officer for the statistics in this table.

Note.—The number of births given as occurring in each year differs slightly from those stated elsewhere in this Report, but for
all practical purposes the difference is negligible.
* In this figure are included 35 births in respect of which no legal action as to vaccination has yet been taken. The rates
for Columns 10. 13 ha\e therefore not been calculated.
