Note.—The statistics given in this statement include those exhibited in statements I and III appended to this
report.
As was the case during the years reviewed in the last triennial report, the
success rate of primary vaccinations has steadily fallen. The ratio of success for
cantonments and dispensaries, in which there is little inducement to show high results,
was then taken as probably approximating to the true percentage, especially as
these ratios agreed with the results of the inspections carried out by the Inspector
of Vaccination and by the District Medical and Sanitary officers. The mean ratio
per cent. of success for the period 1893-94 to 1895-96 was for cantonments 95.0
and for dispensaries 88.5, and for the period 1896-97 to 1898-99 these ratios are
93.1 and 85.0, respectively. The ratio of percentage of success for the whole presi-
dency for 1898-99 is 89.5 as compared with 92.5 and 92.0 of the two previous years.
This figure, therefore, probably shows a nearer approximation to the truth than
those previously recorded.

Note.—The statistics given in this statement include those exhibited in statements I and III appended to this
report.
Re-vaccination figures are not included in the above.
As might be expected this statement also shows a considerable decrease in
the numbers of cases under all ages. The decrease in the case of children under
one year is 48,328, and those under the other two columns are in proportion.
The greater part of the decrease as before has occurred in Local Fund areas.
