"These calculated give the following results:—
Numbers inoculated 16,000
Of these the numbers attacked have been 14
Equal .875 per 1,000 of inoculated have been attacked.
The whole population 150,000
Deduct inoculated 16,000
Uninoculated 134,000
Total attacks 651
Deduct attacks among inoculated 14
Attacks among not inoculated 637
Equal 4.75 per 1,000 of not inoculated have been attacked.
"If the inoculated had been attacked at the same rate as the not
inoculated, the numbers would have been 76 instead of 14, which
accordingly shows a ratio of reduction of about 82 per cent. The
incidence on the 16,000 inoculated has been more than five times less
than the incidence on the 134,000 not inoculated."
