diminish, until an annual mortality of nineteen
replaces one of between three and four thousand.

Compulsory Vaccination.

RESULTS OF ITS ENFORCEMENT IN IRELAND.
A writer in the North American furnishes
some interesting statistics showing the results
of the compulsory vaccination act in Ireland
He SAYS
l am glad to sec that Governor Geary recon-
mends tho passage of an act rendering vaccina-
tion compulsory All the sickness, death, suf-
fering, and loss of trade that this and other
cities have lately experienced is absolutely un-
necessary, and results directly from the criminal
carelessness of some and recklessness of Others
The statistics Of sInall-poxin in England, Ireland
and Scotland, and in most Continental nations
where vaccination is compulsory, show in the
most striking manner how completely this loath-
some disease may be got rid of by proper pre-
cautions. Having the figures at hand for Ire
land subjoin them for the benefit of your read
er3.
Vaccination in ireland was made compulsory
in 1868 In the thitty-t,4rAa years previous
namely. from 1857 e i''ll the average number
of deaths ap,util! l.. ma l,ox was $685.
