2. In the Southern Mahratta Spinning and Weaving Company's Mills, a careful record of inoculation was kept and checked by the manager. The number of the workpeople at the time when inoculation was begun, 21st June, was 1173. At the end of the epidemic the figures were:-- +--------------------------+---------+---------------+ | | Deaths. | Mortality per | | | | cent. | +--------------------------+---------+---------------+ | Inoculated twice 1040 | 22 | 2.11 | | Inoculated once 58 | 8 | 13.79 | | Uninoculated 75 | 20 | 26.66 | +--------------------------+---------+---------------+ Here, again, the figures have not a statistical value: "We are not informed whether the inoculations were performed simultaneously; or at what stage of the outbreak the average strength of the inoculated was reached." All the same, what Major Bannerman says of them is true--_The experience in this company's mill at_ _Hubli should be an object lesson to all mill-owners in plague-stricken towns._ 3. The figures for the Southern Mahratta Railway are given by Major Bannerman in his "Statistics" (1900): they are not mentioned in the Report of the Plague Commission. They are of great value, because the daily shifting of the numbers was recorded as the work of inoculation went on, and the date of each case of plague was also noted. Major Bannerman gives the following account:-- "The railway employés were living in barracks, and in the railway yard, apart from the general population of Hubli town. _They were under close daily inspection by English officials_, who formed a committee for this purpose, with Dr. Chenai as their medical adviser. The results may therefore be regarded as accurate in a high degree, the numbers dealt with not being excessive, and the supervision strict." The figures, based on the average numbers in each group, are as follows:-- +------------------------+--------+---------+---------------+ | | Cases. | Deaths. | Mortality per | | | | | cent. | +------------------------+--------+---------+---------------+ | Twice inoculated 990 | 6 | 1 | 0.1 | | Once inoculated 270 | 5 | 1 | 0.3 | | Uninoculated 760 | 35 | 21 | 2.7 | +------------------------+--------+---------+---------------+
