Facts and Observations. 
Smallpox and Vaccination in Paris. — The pre- 
valence of smallpox in Paris has been attended by a failure 
in the supply of vaccine matter. The Government has, 
therefore, granted the Academy of Medicine 2000 francs, in 
order to keep up a supply from the heifer. The Municipal 
Council of Paris, on the proposal of the Prefect of the Seine, 
has voted 10,000 francs for the organisation of a system of 
gratuitous vaccination and revaccination at each of the 
mairies of Paris. The Prefect has given notice to each of 
the mayors of Paris that, on and after March 2nd, and 
throughout the prevalence of the present epidemic, vaccina- 
tion from the heifer will be performed at each mairie in turn. 
The inhabitants of Paris are availing themselves of the 
opportunity to a very great extent. On one morning in the 
second week of March, as many as 2000 persons presented 
themselves for vaccination at one mairie alone.
