§ CAPTARIN NORTONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state whether the report on the results of anti-typhoid inoculation has been received; and, if so, will he say whether it shows a diminution in mortality in the inoculated attacked by the disease as compared with the uninoculated; whether it shows a diminished evidence of the disease in inoculated; and whether the full report will now be laid upon the Table.
LORD STANLEYThe report has been received. It deals with only 4,138 cases and the aggregate results show a mortality of 8.2 per cent. in inoculated persons as against 15.1 per cent. in uninoculated. The report, however, does 133 not appear sufficiently conclusive in itself, and it seems expedient to obtain further statistics from the Admission and Discharge Books before publishing it.
§ CAPTAIN NORTONThe noble Lord has not answered the last paragraph of the Question.
