apparent, although as usual signs of renewed vigor occasionally
appeared. These renewed outbreaks seemed to threaten another

March, April, May, and June, with 113, 128, 101, and 110 cases
resp ectively.

deaths, or 16.2 per cent.

Of the 719 persons said to have been vaccinated (however
imperfectly) 90 died, or 125 per cent.

of the District Asylums Board, and of these57, or 13.9 per cent. died.
