In connection with the subject of Small-pox it is impossible to
exaggerate the importance of re-vaccination of the community. The
recent outbreak brought home to us the fact that if the large majority
of individuals postpone the operation until an epidemic is in our
midst, our administrative machinery is unable to cope with the
difficulty of the preparation of a sufficient amount of suitable lymph
n d the prompt performance of re-vaccination.
The Report of the work done by the Sanitary Inspectors (Messrs.
Matthews, Cox and Taverner) which is appended to this Report,
constitutes in my opinion a very satisfactory record of work, and the
clerical duties of the Department were most creditably performed by
Mr. Rogers.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
February, 1903. HENRY KENWOOD.
