Having regard to the neglect of vaccination, which still remains the primary and most easily attained protection against Smallpox, and the occurrence of cases in districts comj)aratively near, it has, of course, been necessary to make arrangements for the rapid isolation of any cases which may occur. The Smallpox Hospital of the Joint Board is avail¬ able any time at two hours’ notice, in fact was so occupied last year Ipv a case from the Meriden district ; this prompti¬ tude is to a large extent due to the organisation perfected by Mr. Chard, who is Steward for the Hospital.
