died, a boy who had six 'indifferent' marks of vaccination;
but on admission he was emaciated, ill-fed, had sore eyes, and he
suffered from lung disease. Nineteen of the un-vaccinated children
died, or 55.88 per cent. Seventy-five of the 399 male patients died
(=18.48 per cent.), and 46 of the 328 female patients (10.97 per cent.)
The average period of the illness in hospital of the fatal cases was 7.73
days, but four of the patients died within 24 hours after their admission,
11 within 48 hours, and 10 within 72 hours. The average stay in
hospital of un-vaccinated persons was 52 days; of vaccinated persons
with good marks, 35 days; ditto with traces of marks, 41 days.
Among the cases there were admitted from
Fulham 191 of whom 42 were unvaccinated.

Of 34 unvaccinated children Fulham supplied 11, Chelsea 10,
St. George's 4, and Wandsworth 4, and Kensington 1.
These statistics must be regarded as relatively favourable in respect
of our own parish, qua vaccination. The percentage of deaths of
children was 36.36. Above five years it was 43.54 per cent.
of unvaccinated cases, and 8.57 of the vaccinated.
Of the sick who had "good marks" of vaccination 1.24 per cent.
died. Of those with "indifferent marks" 9.53 per cent. died. Of
those with "traces of marks" 20.96 per cent. died, while among the
"unvaccinated" the mortality was 46.20 per cent. So much for the
quality of the vaccination; the influence of quantity is shown by the
fact that the per centage of deaths where there was
1 mark was 16.83 per cent.
