Report of the National Vaccine Establishment. 133 
Governments, has been made by vaccination in the years 
1810 and 1811: and the Board of the National Vaccine 
Establishment is of opinion, that the prudent and judicious 
conduct of the Medical Board of Madras, in re-establishing 
the Small-Pox Hospital for the reception of persons casually 
attacked with the disorder, may be a useful Jesson of in- 
struction to the inhabitants of other countries, to provide 
places of seclusion for people affected with the disease, in 
order {o prevent the propagation of its infection.

February 1812. 
Para. 101. 
As we have no doubt it will be satisfactory to your ho- 
nourable Court to be informed of the successful progress 
of Vaccination in the territories under this presidency, we 
beg leave to refer you for information on this point, to a 
general Abstract Return furnished by the Superintendent, 
for the year 1810-11. 
102. We have the satisfaction at the same time of in- 
forming your honourable Court, that measures have been 
taken for introducing the cow-pox into the territories of the 
Rajah of Coorg, and the island of Java. 
- 104, Weare concerned to state to your honourableCourt, 
that notwithstanding the successful diffusion of vaccina- 
tion, we have been obliged, as a measure of precaution, to 
re-establish the Small-pox Hospital at the Presidency, in 
consequence of the appearance of that disease; and al- 
thaugh the number of patients in the Hospital be small, it 
has been judged advisable to continue the Establishment, 
in order that the few who may be infected should instantly 
be removed thither, to prevent infection. The disease has 
within a very recent period become more prevalent in the 
neighbourhood of the capital at Pulicat, and in the Jagheer: 
we have therefore authorized, in compliance with the re- 
commendation of the Medical Board, an additional num- 
ber of native vaccinators, and permitted the sub-assistant 
surgeon at Pulicat, to draw the allowances of a local supers 
intendent of yaccination.
