severe ulcers are frequently produced at the points of inoculation; at the same
time the amount of protection against small-pox is extremely slight. Another
very grave evil in connection with unlicensed vaccination is that in large num¬
bers of cases, in compliance with the requests of the mothers, the children are
vaccinated in two spots only. This method of vaccination affords very slight
protection, and in consequence, if subsequently the child is attacked by small-
pox, the parents naturally regard vaccination as a very inferior prophylactic.
There is a consensus of opinion among Civil Surgeons that unlicensed vacci-
nation is dangerous, and should, in the interests of the Vaccination Department
and the people alike, be prohibited by law just as inoculation is prohibited.
