    (D.) Computed Sickness and Mortality from Small-Pox. The total amount of previous sickness and mortality from small-pox only, which would leave a residue of 4191 children in the condition displayed in Table I., may be thus estimated: Cases of small-pox after vaccination 148 Add for deaths at 3 3 on 100. 5 Cases of small-pox in the unvac¬ cinated. 400 Add for deaths 33- on 100 (or 1 in 4). 133 Total cases of sickness ... 686 Total cases living. 4191 Ditto dead. 138 Total children . 4329 By a similar method, the sickness and the mortality endured in the separate classes of children have been also calculated; and the subjoined table includes the results. In the first column are the actual numbers of children examined; in the second are the numbers increased by adding the calculated deaths. The next division shows the actual sickness and mortality ; and the last indicates the per centage of sickness and mortality, computed on the numbers of children, including the supposed deaths. This per centage is of course not assumed to be absolutely true, but is intended to show, by comparison merely, the mortality and sickness in different classes of children. Table V.
