with human, buffalo or other lymphs the experiment here described furnishes no definite
conclusion as to the value of vaseline vaccine paste compared with these lymphs.
Table showing results of re-vaccination of children one year after they had been
vaccinated with vaseline vaccine paste. The children were vaccinated with vaseline
vaccine paste on September 16th 1898, and were re-vaccinated, each with three insertions,
with the different lymphs shown below on September 12th 1899, and were inspected by
the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner on September 17th and 18th 1899" : —

The Animal Lymph Depôt was stationed at Murree from the beginning of April
to the end of October, 1899, and from November 1st, 1899, to 31st March, 1900, at
Amritsar. The depôt being still without any accommodation of its own the work was
carried on at Murree in the dispensary as formerly. At Amritsar, through the kindness
of the Secretory of the Municipal Committee, the depôt was accommodated in a large
room with a brick floor, a great improvement on the mud-floored out-house in which it
had been accommodated in previous years.
Only vaseline vaccine paste was prepared in the depôt, and of this 5,315 ten grain
tubes were made, an increase of 2,149 tubes as compared with last year. The results of
1,104 tubes are not known. Medical officers and others to whom they were sent not hav-
ing furnished necessary information. Excluding these from consideration 3,632 tubes gave
successful results, or 86.15 per cent. The number of tubes made at Murree and Amritsar,
respectively, and their results are shown in following table : —
