Do. The above may be summarised as follows :- Cases. Deaths. Healthy = 36 4 4 Sickly = 26 5 3 If the 36 healthy uninoculated persons be compared with the 1,018 inoculated, the following table may be constructed :- Population. Cases. Deaths. Case mortality. Inoculated, 1,018 84 ( 8·2%) 31 ( 3·0 %) 36·9 per cent. Not inoculated, 36 4 (11·1 %) 4 (11·1 %) 100·0 " " If the inoculated had suffered in the same proportion as the healthy uninoculated, they ought to have had 118 attacks with 84 deaths instead of 84 and 31 respectively ; a reduction of 25.6 per cent. in the case of attacks and of 63.1 per cent. in the case of deaths in favour of the inoculated. Thus, when the "sickly " are excluded from the calculation, a reduction of the attack-rate in favour of the inoculated is seen. The smallness of the reduction in this case should not be adduced as an argument to show the little effect of the prophylactic, for such small numbers as are found here on the uninoculated side are always liable to have the balance destroyed by a single addition to one side or other of the account. The Commission further compare the incidence of plague in two communities of the same caste, but living in separate parts of the town of Bulsár. The first of these was the Ghanchis (or oil-pressers), and the following is the table given by the Plague Commission as showing the occurrences in the two quarters. The population of the inoculated quarter is got by adding both inoculated and uninoculated together. The uninoculated persons in the inoculated quarter numbered 35, and they furnished one-third of the cases and half the deaths in this community ; and this should be kept in mind when studying the table :-
