Smallpox.
No case of small-pox occurred during the year. Hampstead has
been free from small-pox since April, 1907, when a case occurred in the
person of a manager of a shipping company, who was infected in
Maderia. Previously no case had occurred since October, 1903.
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 o2curring in each year differs slightly from tho3s statad elsewhere in
this Report, but for all practical purposes the difference is negligible.
* In this figure are included 67 births in respect of which no legal action a3 to vaccination has yet been takan ;
the rates for Columns 10-13 have therefore not been calculated.
