12. It will be seen from the above tables that no part of Bombay escaped from the
effects of the outbreaks of small-pox ; but there are some localities, such as Dhobí Taláo
Kámáthípurá, Market, Mándví, Fort, Girgaum, Umharkhádí, Bhuleshwar, Khetwádí, Khárá
Taláo, Chakhlá, and Dongarí, that suffered most terribly. The Fort and Dhobí Taláo Dis-
tricts are of late generally not so badly off in this respect; but, during the past year, the
unprecedentedly high mortality amongst the Pársís has brought these places prominently
forward. Of the 103 deaths in the Fort District, 68 were among the Parsis alone; and
of the 165 of Dhobí Taláo, 48 are among Pársís.
13. It does appear a strange circumstance that, year after year, the same places
should show the greatest mortality from small-pox, and this in spite of the existence of a
large vaccine establishment presumably using its very best efforts in those very places.
To one unacquainted with the circumstances of the place, the question would naturally
arise—what can all this be owing to ? Can it be that the Vaccine Department has been
remiss in the discharge of its duties ? May it be that the operations are carelessly per-
formed ?—perhaps with indifferent or even bad lymph ? Or, indeed, is it, really after all,
that the animal lymph that has been so freely and extensively used of late by the depart-
ment is not so protective as humanized vaccine lymph ? The last supposition may at
once and for ever be dismissed from our minds ; for this high mortality of these places is
a chronic state of things, as will be seen from the following table, and therefore cannot be
attributed to animal lymph, which has been in use only for the last three years : —
