                                         KÁRWAR JAIL.

An account of the vaccination of 136 inmates of Kárwár jail during the
month of April 1874, tabulated according to the previous protection or otherwise
of those operated on : the lymph was obtained from healthy infants and arm-to-
arm vaccination was performed in each case.

As regards the meanings of the terms applied to the results of the vaccina-
tion : by " Good" is meant a large perfectly formed vesicle ; by "fair"
is meant a large perfectly formed vesicle but smaller than the preceding ;
both of these would be included under the head of successful vaccination:
by " Doubtful " is meant those cases in which perhaps a small amount of lymph
is formed but the vesicles have no definite shape and are very minute although
there is a certain amount of inflammation round them; by the term " Unsuccessful "
is meant, that there is nothing to be seen but the small puncture made by the
lancet : the two latter classes have been taken both together as "unsuccessful".

                  Cases previously protected by both Small-pox and Vaccination

                  Abbreviations : " D " means doubtful and " U " means unsuccessful.

NOTES.—The secondary vaccination in the case of No. 11 is " unknown" because he left the
jail before the time of maturation. In cases No. 13 and 14 we only have the word of the
patients that they have had small-pox and been vaccinated respectively; there are no marks
to prove it.
