There is, it will be seen, a slight decrease in the ratio per cent. of suc-
cessful cases as compared with the previous year, the rate of 1894-95 being
98.66 per cent. against 99.20 per cent. in 1893-94. This shows, not that the
success of vaccination is falling off, but that greater care is being exercised in
checking the vaccinators' returns of successful cases. The ratio per cent. of
successful cases returned for the province is still, I believe, higher than it
should be, but I have no doubt that this high percentage is due to the unwilling-
ness of licensed vaccinators to include in their lists any except perfect cases
of operation. Licensed vaccinators are in most cases reliable good men, but
they do not fall in with the official idea of the utility of entering all cases
of vaccination in their lists. Efforts are being made to get over this difficulty,
which I trust will ultimately be successful.

The high percentages of successful cases shown against some of the
districts at first sight appear to be incredible, but when the figures are examined
it will be seen that in most of the high percentage districts the total number
of re-vaccinations are so small that it is quite probable that most of them may
have been successful.
