The table referred to deals with the combined statistics covered by the three
reviews and is as follows:—

If the last two groups be combined the figures are serially 16, 722 ; 4; 1 in
4,180 and 0.024 per cent.

In the annual report of the Pasteur Institute at Kasauli (India) Shortt²⁴
reports that as a result of the series of experiments carried out by Cunningham and
his co-workers, the vaccine now employed is, as before that of Semple, but that the
dosage has been largely increased in the case of the severely bitten. The dosage for
the slightly bitten is 1,400 mgm. during 7 days, whilst for the severely bitten it has
been increased to a maximum of 8,500 mgm. in 15 days. The figures are still
experimental in the sense that Paris and Kasauli strains of fixed virus are com-
pared, as are also vaccine from the sheep and from the rabbit. The combined
results are as follows:—

One rather doubtful case of post-vaccinial paralysis is reported. The percent-
age of health returns received after six months from the termination of treatment
for those treated at the institute is above 72 per cent., and for those treated at out-
centres it is above 63 per cent.
