Speaking of the value of re-vaccination, Dr. Gayton says:I
am unable to give any copious statistics with regard to re-vaccination
I simply find that daring the time I hare been connected with this
Hospital, 13 only have been admitted, who stated that they had
undergone the operation the second time, and in these cases I
was only able to discover ocular proof of five one of whom suffered
from an extremely severe attack of Smallpox. That one only
amongst the large number of nurses and other who have been
occupied here (and in her case the operation was neglected)
hare contracted the disease is, or should be, convincing proof enough
of its great and almost certain prophylactic influence.
Dr. Collie, the Medical Superintendent of the Fever Hospital.
says of the caeca of Smallpox that came under his care:the unvaccinated died at the rate of 53 per cent that
raccinated died at the rate of 26 per cent: that the fairly well
vaccinated died at the rate of 2.3 per cent, end that but one death.
