    The returns show also that out of 8,317 births, 595 died before the infants could be vaccinated, thus leaving 7,222 that were liable to the operation, and as 5,595 of these were vaccinated, the percentage of vaccinations to those liable was 72.4, which is 4.5 per cent. less than in the preceding year. The figures since 1882 are very instructive, for they show that from that year to the present time there has been a very gradual but steady diminution in the vaccinations per 100 births, less the infants who died unvaccinated; in 1882 the percentage was 91.1; in 1908 it was only 72.4.
