8 REPORT OE SELECT COMMITTEE ON VACCINATION BILL.

In country districts, I think, the idea of stations is wholly untenable, as it would impose upon parents or guardians great ti-ouble and inconvenience, especially clause 10, as under the proposed Act they are required to bring the child for inspection on the eighth day. Some provision ought, I think, to be made for keeping a supply of vaccine lymph, as medical men sometimes, though rarely with care, run out of it, and are often at a loss where to obtain further supply. At Nelson there is a certain quantity sent out every month by the Agent in London, to the Provincial Secretary, who has the distribution of it. In other respects I think the Act would be found to work satisfactorily. I have, &c, William G. Kemp, M.R.C.S.E., L.R.C.P. Lond., &c, &c.
