In the Akola district there was an increase of 1,373 cases chiefly in re-vac-
cination, in connection with which the Superintendent brings specially to notice
the good work of Mr. Surfaraz Alli in medical charge of the Balapur dispen-
sary.
Of the total number of operations, 8,178 were primary and 2,188 re-vaccina-
tions as against 7,771 and 575 respectively in 1889-90. The ratio of success
attained was 92.6 and 39 per cent. as compared with 95.7 and 36.3 in the previous
year.

Lymph supply.
9. In accordance with the instructions conveyed in the correspondence
ending with Government of India letter in the
Home Department No. 306 of the 15th October
1890, the local system of bovine lymph supply was extended throughout the
province, and since October worked to the exclusion of arm-to-arm vaccination.
There has been no friction in regard to the supply of calves, which are readily
obtained by the vaccinators in the village.
The people much prefer animal lymph ; they believe it to be more effica-
cious than humanized lymph, and that ulcerations less frequently occur with its
use than with the arm-to-arm method.
Of the total operations, 88,881, or 85.6 per cent., were performed with bovine
lymph, and but 14.4 per cent. with humanized lymph.
The use of animal lymph direct from the cow has much to commend it
and is beset with no difficulties in this province, so that in future the depart-
ment can dispense altogether with lymph obtained from the human subject.
Experiment for preserving animal
lymph.
10. With the view of ascertaining how to preserve animal lymph in bulk
for transport to a distance, I instituted some ex-
periments on a modification of the German system
when at Chikalda in October last, but learning
that Surgeon-Major King, Acting Sanitary Commissioner for Madras, had dis-
covered a method for preserving it, I addressed him on the subject, and Dr. King
very courteously placed at my disposal the results of his experiments, which
went to prove the efficacy of lanoline in preserving animal lymph for a length-
ened period.
Following Dr. King's method, I succeeded in manufacturing a paste which
gave very encouraging results, but as I was obliged to proceed on my cold weather
tour, I had reluctantly to close the experiment at Chikalda, but had arranged
to continue it at Amraoti under the supervision of my Head Clerk, Mr. George,
when Government of India Home Department No. 347, dated 6th November 1890,
was received directing that experiments should be undertaken to test the value
( 4 )
of Dr. King's discovery. A systematic experiment was accordingly undertaken,
the results of which, given in detail in the appendix, conclusively prove the
practical value of the lanoline-vaccine paste; and I am of opinion that, given a
sufficient supply of calves (cow or buffalo), a depôt for the manufacture of the
paste in each province could supply all the lymph required in India.
The lymph-paste is obtained by a modification of the German method of
lymph collection, which is briefly as follows :—
The calf having been duly prepared, from 50 to 100 scarifications about an
inch in length are made with a scalpel or needle scarificator. Animal or hu-
manized lymph is then well rubbed in, all oozing from the scarified surfaces having
first been removed by means of a soft dry cloth.
On the evening of the 5th day (5×24 hours) or morning of the 6th day the
vesicles are fully developed, when, after having been thoroughly cleaned, the whole
of the vesicle including lymph and dermal tissue is scraped off, collected in a
glass mortar, weighed, reduced to pulp, and intimately mixed with five parts by
weight of lanoline and sent out for use in small pots.
The vaccinator uses the paste exactly in the same way as he would lymph.
The instrument in use in this province is a needle scarificator, manufactured
locally, with which three cross scarifications are made on one arm and the paste
well rubbed in. The cicatrices resulting from any two of these scarifications
represent a surface of half a square inch and ensure perfect protection against
small-pox.
In the calf, the abraided surface dries up in a few days, up to which time it
should remain in the depôt, and the scarified surfaces kept clean and dressed
with boracic acid lotion.
Assistant Surgeon Surrendrenath Barat was deputed by the Chief Commis-
sioner of the Central Provinces to acquaint himself with the method of animal
vaccination as practised in Berar.
This officer reported his arrival in Amraoti on the 17th November and
attended the experiment up to the 28th idem, when he reported that he was in
a position to start the work in the Central Provinces.
In conclusion I would bring specially to the notice of the Resident the ser-
vices rendered by my Head Clerk, Mr. A. George, in supervising this experiment.
Owing to my other duties I was only occasionally able to run in by rail during the
two months the experiment was being carried on, and throughout this period Mr.
George gave his constant and willing aid in supervising the work in addition to
his legitimate duties and exhibited an intelligent and lively interest in the
experiment, for which my acknowledgments are due.
Superintendent Bapurao Yadava, who was responsible for the executive
part of the work, performed his duties with care and skill, and is also deserving
of commendation.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
C. LITTLE, M.D.,
Sanitary Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts.

NOTES
ON THE
ANNUAL RETURNS
OF
VACCINATION
IN THE
HYDERABAD ASSIGNED DISTRICTS
FOR THE
YEAR 1891-92.
BY
SURGEON LIEUTENANT-COLONEL CHARLES LITTLE, M. D.
Hyderabad :
PRINTED AT THE RESIDENCY GOVERNMENT PRESS.
1892.
Price one rupee per copy.
CAMP No. 351-G. OF 1892.
FROM
COLONEL K. J. L. MACKENZIE,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts,
To
THE SECRETARY FOR BERAR TO THE RESIDENT,
Hyderabad.
Dated Chikalda, 14th June 1892.
SIR,
I have the honor to submit the Sanitary Commissioner's vaccination notes,
which were despatched from his office on the 10th instant and reached me yester-
day, the 13th instant.
2. An important and advantageous change was effected during the year in
placing towns in charge of the Vaccination Department; formerly the responsi-
bility for these rested on Medical Officers who had not the time to attend to the
work.
First operations have only increased by 752, but re-vaccinations have, nearly
doubled, going up from 16,511 to 30,453, which brings the total of provincial
operations up to 128,856, being 14,694 in excess of the year previous.
3. The special staff are shown (paragraph 4) to have done well, and as their
return of work is subjected by the Superintendent and later by the Sanitary
Commissioner to careful check and revision, the result is very satisfactory,
especially in connection with the fact that 82.3 per cent. of children under
a year old have been got at and protected, and (paragraph 9) it is believed that
not many children in the population now remain unvaccinated.
4. Dr. Little has attended to the Resident's wishes in his paragraph 5 in
dealing with success in re-vaccination cases.
5. The Resident wished (vide his orders in Secretary's No. 199, dated 18th
January 1892, supplementary to Home Secretary's No. 286, dated 8th August
1891, paragraph 4) that the result of operations in the Melghat should be specially
noted in this report. Dr. Little says nothing and omits to explain why—evidently
through oversight. The reason doubtless is that the establishment for the Mel-
ghat was not sanctioned till the 12th May 1892, and their working will therefore
appear in the next report.
6. I would suggest that the Resident's thanks be conveyed to the gentlemen
named in paragraph 12, and that rewards be sanctioned to the vaccinators named
in paragraph 7 of the report.
7. The general results seem to me very creditable, and must be most satisfac-
tory to Dr. Little himself,
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
K. J. L. MACKENZIE, COLONEL,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts.
