Beginning with the quinquennial period 1869 to 1873, it will be seen that
the small-pox death-rate was 2.02 per 1,000 of population, and that in each
period of five years it has steadily declined as vaccination has advanced, till for
the period ending 1898 it has been 0.19 per 1,000.
It may be noted that small-pox inoculation never prevailed in Berar, and
that the disease is quite as virulent amongst the unvaccinated as it ever was.
There is nothing but vaccination to which this great diminution of small-pox
mortality can be attributed. The above figures tend to prove the axiom that
in countries where there is much vaccination and revaccination relatively to
the population there is but little small-pox.
Inspections.
11. Statement No. V gives particulars of inspection work done by Super-
intendents, and shows that 53.1 per cent. of the
total number vaccinated were verified as com-
pared with 55.8 in the previous year. Superintendents attribute the falling
off to the difficulty in obtaining children for inspection in parts where famine
distress pressed heavily. The principal decrease was in the Buldana district
due to the Superintendent's illness, which prevented him touring at the height
of the season.
Though it is to be regretted that the percentage of operations verified
should have decreased, still a rate of 53 per cent. cannot be regarded as
unsatisfactory, and is in advance of most of the other provinces in India.

FROM
J. A. CRAWFORD, ESQ.,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts,
To
THE SECRETARY FOR BERAR TO THE RESIDENT,
Hyderabad.
Dated Amraoti, the 7th June 1899.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Sanitary Commissioner's Report on
Vaccination for the year 1898-99, which reached me in print on the 4th
instant. You have telegraphed for my review of the report; and I am pressed
with other work before leaving Berar next week.
2. It appears from paragraph 3 of the report that the use of lanoline
paste has been to some extent introduced in municipal towns ; but I cannot
find that its use has been particularly considered or authorised as intended by
the Resident.
3. The table in paragraph 4 of the report compares the work done during
the last three years. Again there is a decrease (1,016) in primary vaccinations.
It is attributed this time to the low birth-rate of the year, which resulted from
the scarcity of the year before. The decrease occurred in. the Wun, Amraoti,
and Ellichpur districts: in the others there was an increase. The percentage
of success (97) is high.
4. The total of re-vaccinations again shows a large increase (8,630),
which is spread over every district except Buldana. There is a decrease
(1,181) in Buldana as a contrast to the considerable increase (2,459) of
the year before. According to the Sanitary Report lately submitted, Buldana
was the only district which suffered noticeably from small-pox in 1898-99.
The Sanitary Commissioner found that " the outbreak was chiefly confined
to the grown-up children and adults for want of re-vaccination." The general
percentage (23) of success, however, in re-vaccination is low; and this, it is
remarked, " goes to show that primary vaccination had been most efficiently
carried out in former years." It is noteworthy that in the Sanitary Commis-
sioner's opinion re-vaccination is less popular in Berar than primary vaccina-
tion. The omission pointed out in the Government of India (Home Depart-
ment) letter No. 4319, dated the 7th November last, has been corrected in this
report.
5. All municipalities are subject to the compulsory Act, which is said to
answer well. There were no prosecutions. Paragraph 13 of the report
exhibits the work done in municipalities. The corresponding figures for the
year before are not available; but in 1896-97 the outturn was rather larger.
6. Vaccination work in Berar seems to compare favourably with that
of other provinces. There is a satisfactory list of those who render special
assistance to the Department: no one is complained of; and six vaccinators are
recommended for rewards.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
J. A, CRAWFORD,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts,

SIR,
I have the honour to forward, for the information of the Resident, Report
on Vaccination for the year 1898-99.

tion No.28/1579-95 of July 1887, a full report on the

Lymph supply.
3. At the end of the monsoon a supply of lanoline paste was obtained from
the Bangalore Vaccine Institute. This lanoline
paste was used on children in municipal towns
in each district, and when a successful result was obtained, calves were vacci-
nated and distributed—one vaccinated calf to each vaccinator—from which
the season's work was started throughout the province. The lymph thus
propagated was evidently of an excellent quality, as will be seen by results
obtained and noticed in paragraph 6.
Season's work.

From this it will be seen that though there was a decrease of 1,016 in
primary vaccination as compared with the work of 1897-98, and of 4,562 com-
pared with that of 1896-97, yet there was a considerable large increase in the
number of re-vaccinations over that of both the previous years, viz., 8,630
and 17,154 respectively. Thus, the total vaccination work done during the
year under report was in excess by 7,714 over that of the previous year, and
by 12,592 over that of 1896-97. This increase was throughout the province,
save Buldana district, where there was a small decrease of 345 compared with
the previous year
At the beginning of the year the outbreak of small-pox in the Buldana
and other districts attracted my attention, and enquiries were instituted, which
proved that the outbreak was chiefly confined to the grown-up children and
adults for want of re-vaccination; and, as re-vaccination is not so popular in
Berar as primary vaccination, vaccinators were not able to increase re-vacci-
nation without the aid of the revenue authorities.
Some of the Deputy Commissioners in the province were requested to
supply for a limited period one tahsili peon to each vaccinator in their dis-
tricts in order to assist him in collecting grown-up persons for re-vaccination.
The vaccinators were also urged from time to time to increase re-vaccin-
ation.
The steps taken have evidently proved very successful in both promoting
re-vaccination and stamping out the several outbreaks of small-pox.
The amount of primary work depends entirely on the birth-rate. Last
year, owing to the famine of the year previous affecting the fecundity of the
population, the birth-rate was low, as will be seen from the following table;
hence the decrease in primary work:—

From this it will also be seen that infants available have been protected
this year at a higher rate than in the two previous years, and fewer were left
unvaccinated at the end of this year than at the end of 1896-97 and 1897-98.
Districts.
5. There was an increase in primary vaccination in the districts of Bul-
dana, Basim, and Akola of 836,384, and 168, and
a decrease of 1,322, 979, and 103 in the districts
of Wun, Amraoti, and Ellichpur respectively.

7. The percentage of success was 23.1 against
30.0 in the year previous, and 20.5 in 1896-97.
The percentage of successful re-vaccination ranged from 14.5 in the
Amraoti district to 32.3 in the Ellichpur district.
During my recent tour I inspected 234 cases of re-vaccination in presence
of the vaccinators in charge of respective circles. Out of this number, 14 only
were perfectly successful and 71 of modified character, as remarked in para-
graph 6 of the Vaccination Report for 1897-98.
The vaccinators and superintendents were accordingly instructed to be
careful in recording the result of re-vaccination.
This evidently improved the record of the result of re-vaccination, the
percentage of which was reduced from 30.0 to 23.1.
It will also be seen that the percentage of "unknown" cases steadily
declined from 42.6 in 1896-97 to 31.6 in the year under report, which goes to
show that more interest was taken in verifying the result of re-vaccination
during the year.
The result obtained in Berar compared with other provinces is given in
the following table :—

It will be seen from the above table that Berar with a percentage of
97.1 successful primary cases takes second place compared with the other
provinces. In re-vaccination Berar takes the last place with 23.1 percentage
of success, which goes to show that primary vaccination had been most effi-
ciently carried out in former years.

The ratio of protection per 1,000 of population afforded during the year
was 34.6 as against 34.7 in the previous year and 34.5 in 1896-97. The regis-
tered birth-rates for these periods were 31.3, 39.7, and 38.3 respectively. The
ratio of protection is in excess of birth-rate by 3.3 due to children remaining
unvaccinated from the year previous, which is very creditable to the vaccin-
ation staff.
The following table and prescribed diagram show the proportion of the
population per 1,000 and 10,000 respectively protected against small-pox for
the past seven years and the mean death-rate from the disease in 1898 :—
