![It is my duty once more to remind you that the temporary buildings at Bagthorpe are all we have at present to depend upon in this city by way of a hospital for the isolation of small-pox, and that with the occupation of the new union buildings your right to use even these temporary wards will be at an end. Va.CCI nation—Local vaccination is still making satis¬ factory progress. Since the slump of 1896-97, just prior to the passing of the Vaccination Act of 1898, it has continuously increased in amount. The percentage of children born, during the 12 months ending with June 1900, who were returned as having been successfully vaccinated was 50*8. The corresponding percentage of 1898-99 was 42*4. The returns for the other towns, so far as at present available, all tell the same tale. Yaccination in Nottingham Union. Summary of Statistics, 1883-1900. Pekcentage.
