available beds were occupied. The total number of deaths
from small-pox was 250, which equals a mortality rate of 14.3
per cent. Of the 250, 99 occurred amongst the vaccinated, 58
amongst the doubtful, and 93 amongst the unvaccinated. Of
the total cases, 499 were transferred to Deptford Hospital, from
whence they were takeen to the Convalescent Camp at Darenth.
The per centage mortality on completed cases was I4.18. The
mortality in those cases in which the patients had been once
vaccinated was 7.30 ; in those in which it was doubtful if the
patient had been once vaccinated, 31.01 percent.; and in those
in which vaccination had never been performed successfully,
44.28 per cent. These facts, if all other facts were wanting,
would be quite sufficient to prove the great utility of vaccination.
