continuously in all the four large Collectorate towns in the Central Registration

few cases, providing the means to procure them, and any small expenditure such
as shaving, &c., is met from contingencies.

In connection with the use of animal lymph the Deputy Sanitary Commis-
sioner, Central Registration District, is of opinion that the Compulsory Vaccina-
tion Act might now be introduced with advantage into the Poona and Kirki
Cantonments and the Suburban and City Municipalities, a combined area being
formed. The committees of the first three bodies have assented to the intro-
duction of the Act and the City Municipality are considering the matter. It is
hoped that this body will come to a speedy and favourable decision in the matter,
so that the Act can be put in force throughout Poona and its surroundings.

tions performed therefrom was 3,005 and 3,388
