§ MR. HOPWOODasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether the Board is prepared to advise the public which of the two modes of vaccination now in use is to be preferred, viz., the one with the matter derived from arm to arm, or the one with the lymph from the calf recently provided by the Department; and, whether it has been shown that tubercle may be transmitted by such lymph?
§ MR. DODSONSir, the Board have every confidence, after their long experience, in vaccination from arm to arm; but they have not yet had experience on a large scale of vaccination direct from the calf. Both are believed to be equally trustworthy, but I am not prepared to advise my hon. and learned Friend or any other person which he should select. It is not within knowledge of the Board that tubercle has been transmitted by lymph from the calf.
