GENERAL REMARKS.
45. In paragraph 31 on page 11 of my last report, I stated that the results
obtained from the use of glycerinated lymph had been unsatisfactory and that
I did not recommend a repetition of the experiment. The Government of India,
however, have decided that a further trial of this form of lymph should be made
in the next vaccination season and a report submitted with reference to means of
preparation, storage, length of time kept before use, dilution, &c. So far as the
method has been tried during the past season, the results obtained have been
more satisfactory than in the preceding one, the percentage of success being
86.27 against 72.69.
