sos deaths in that city from small poz during the
fret nine m0nths Of the year 1871, there we're
in Berlin 3l7l deaths, IN London 6.906. in
Liverpool 1891, and in Philadelphia 1858. Sew

OF deaths xSs mach heavier. This favorable ex-
hibit for New York, il is claimed, is owing TO the
greater vigilance and better methods used in
dealing with the disease. The admissions TO the
small pox hospital during the year were 249S,

authorities, we're subsequently reported. The
per centage Ct deaths to all esses Was 26.l0-
Over 100000 persons have been vsccinated
during the year. As TO the means Of success
