Compulsory Vaccination
Act.

97. Bombay Act I of 1892 has been passed into law. The question as to
what areas to apply it is still under consideration.

large towns, owing to the refusal of parents to allow the lymph to be extracted
from the ripe vesicles, there is not nearly so much objection to the operation
for inserting the fresh lymph. It is hoped that the using of animal lymph will
be pushed on without friction in all divisions as has been done in the Central
Registration District, and then a Compulsory Act can be put in force in the areas
using animal lymph without any trouble.
