In the House of Commons, Mr Francis Broad drew attention to the serious epidemics of small pox in Madras and Calcutta during recent years, although vaccination had been compulsory in these cities for the past 40 years and a high percentage of children ivere vaccinated. He suggested that as vaccination had not controlled small pox in Indian towns, all the Governments In India should be instructed to take steps to improve the sanitary conditions -n the larger towns and provinces, in view of the fact that the passing of the Public Health Act of 1875 in England resulted in a great diminution of small pox and all other eruptive fevers.
