and 58,470 re-vaccinated against 896,394 and 54,700 last year, showing a
net increase of 3,838 or 0.43 per cent. in primary vaccination and 3,770 or 6.89
per cent. in re-vaccination. The rate of decrease in primary and re-vaccination
in dispensaries was 18.26 per cent. in the former and an increase of 1.60 per

of 7,608 or 0.80 per cent. over the preceding year for the entire Presidency.
