this unvaccinated element all were infected with the
exception of 6, and 26 died.
It might be urged by those unwilling to concede any point
to the advocates of vaccination that special circumstances
perchance existed which militated against the unvaccinated
section, and hence the death rate should be regarded as
incidental. Taking note of this objection, let us proceed to
compare the disease rate and mortality of the two classes
in another sub-district, Sheffield Park. Here we find 334
vaccinated children, 24 from among this group contract
Small Pox and all recover. But in the unvaccinated class
are 9 children, every one of these become infected, and only
3 out of the 9 recover.
780 vaccinated children live in the invaded houses of the
Nether Hallam sub-district, among these 56 are attacked
and all recover. But in the same district are 35 unvaccinated
children, 31 of these take Small Pox and 8 die.
In the Sub-district Brightside 829 vaccinated children
reside, 67 of these become infected and 2 deaths occur.
But in this district 32 of the unvaccinated class live. All
of these contract Small Pox, and 15, nearly half their number,
die.
In the Ecclesall district the vaccinated child population in
the invaded houses is 772, among them 65 are attacked and
2 die. But in the unvaccinated class are 39 children, 32
of these suffer and 13 die.
The vaccinated class in the Attercliffie district number
274, one death results among the 19 attacked. The unvaccinated
class number 24 children, 17 are attacked and in 8 the
attack is fatal.
