These diagrams do not prove very much, but they show that where
vaccination has been actively carried on, there small-pox as a general rule is
comparatively low, and vice versâ.
15. The following statement shows the comparative value of the three
methods of vaccination at present practised in Bengal, viz., direct from the
calf, from lanoline paste, and the arm-to-arm method of human lymph. In
consequence, however, of the erroneous practice of excluding unsuccessful opera-
tions and including repetitions in the case of the arm-to-arm method, a com-
parison between that and the other methods is vitiated. The following state-
ments are, therefore, at present of no comparative value, and I only give them
because it has been the custom to do so.
