He did not hesitato to say that tho operation of the public vaccinator . killed his child. It was thoroughly well up to the time of vaccination, but four days afterwards it was taken seriously ill. Vaccination was . performed by four cuts in the arm, which rose up in most cases, but sank down iu this, causing a depression of the size of a shilling. When they expressed their opinion that the death resulted from vaccination he did not deny it, but certified for death from convulsions. Dr Thome-Thome, in his report, said he found that the vaccination was performed with lymph taken from another child, aged four months, but no lymph, was taken from the child Wightman for subsequent vaccination.
