In 1888 the. Royal Commission on Vac- cination was appointed, and this ap- pears to have been taken‘by the Glou- cester board and some other: as a. tacit admisson on the put of the Govern- ment that the question of compulsory Vaccination was an open one. The fol- lowing tabular statement of the de- inno of public vaccinations will show how soon the class of the populztt ion for Whose benefit gratuitous van-inuâ€" t'ton is. provided begun to take advan- tage of the option which was thus of- fered to them:â€" In February, 1887, a resolution was passed by the Gloucester Board of Guardiansofth-P Poor, "that the vac- "cinution offircrstuke no further steps ‘in \ .1ccinmion prosecutions until 1111- “thot 129d .1'; the board."

The increase of vaccination in 1805 is accounted for by the fact that towards the close of that year the epidemic whichhad prevailed throughout. Westâ€" ern Europe made its appearance in Gloucester. In January, 1896, there were fifty cases. There had only been thirty in the whole of the previous year. Then lwgan a race between the City Council and the epidemic. One temporary building was erected after another to provide isolation arrange- ments, By March it seemed as though smallpox would paralyze the commerce of the city. The RAVAGES OF THE DISEASE had become known outside, andahoy- cott, was proclaimed against the city. The threatened financial catastrophe led to the citizens appealing to the City Council to take immediate Steps to arrest the epidemic. The Gloucester doctors, in meeting assembled, declar- ed thatthe only possible. measures were the isolation of those, attacked, and the vaccination and revaccination of those, who were not protected against the disease. The advice was acted upon. The Board of Guardians rescinded their former resolution. and ordered the en- forcement. of the vaccination laws. From first to last upwards of 30,000 vaccinations and revat-cinations were affected. By the end of July the epi- demic was stamped out, of existence. It is not to be wondered at; that.
