WAsHINGToN, September S.-Supervising
Inspector John II. Rauch, of the Western
district, has made the following report TO the
National Board of Health, az to the work in
his district during the month of August and
for the previous three months:
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, September 6.-The
following report of the operations, during
the month of August, 1882, of the Immi-
grant-Inspection Service, National Board of
Health, in the district under my supervision,
is respectfully submitted. An aggregate of
1904 inspections were made by the seven
assistant Inspectors, who performed 3125 vac
cinations upon Immigrants found to be
eithcr imperfectiy er not at all protected BY
previous vaccination or attack of smallpox.
This is in the ratio of about twenty per
cent. of vaccinations as against sixteen per
cent. during the months of June and July.
1t is not to be inferred from this, however,
that the proportion OF unprotected immi-
grants is larger than in the previous months.
Oh the contrary, increasing evidence has
been found throughout the month of greater
care and vigilance on the part of steamship
surgeons generally, and of some OF the in
spectors east of this district-notably at Port
Huron, Mich.-and much larger proper
ton of recent vaccinations has been met
with, as the result of this care ahd vigilance.
The following is a tabulated report OF IN
spections for the three months of June, July
and Aupust.
