Diagram G.—Prepared by Dr. Newsholme from Data given in the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination, p. 47. It
shows that in proportion as infant vaccination became more general, so did the deaths from Small Pox decrease during the earlier years,
and proportionately increase durine adult life. The increased ratio of deaths in children corresponding to the increased vaccination
default 1885-94 is well shown. The average vaccination default in London was as follows: 1875-1879, 7.8; 1810 1884, 6.5;
1885-1889,9.0; 1890-1894,17.5. These numbers are taken from the Report of the Medical Officer of the London County Council,
1900, p. 17.
