The English royal commission On
vaccination. which has been busy dur
ing seven years obtaining information,
recently made an interesting report
The commission concluded that the
protection which vaccination affords
against smallpox is greatest during the
years Immediately succeeding the oper-
alton and that while the time varies In
different cases. the average period OF
highest protection may be liked az nine
or ten years. Afterward the protective
efficacy rapidly dlminishes, Tor which
reason the commission deems that the
value OF revacclnation can scarcely be
oyercstimated. As 20 the Injurious ei-
fects alleged 10 result from vaccination
the commission says that when consld-
cred In relation 10 the extent OF vac

lleye that they are diminishing under
