clean in their persons as well as in their apparel, and that the mothers were begin-
ing to be more careful in nursing them during the process, and few children were
brought up with broken vesicles from rude handling. I inspected 151 children
from 25 villages in his Circle and was thoroughly satisfied with what I saw.
Vaccinator Bhowany Pershad 1st has also done excellent work, and generally
has succeeded in vaccinating arm to arm. Of his work I saw 128 children from 17
villages.
Vaccinator Mohiuddeen Khan.—This man was posted to the Amarwara Circle
on the transfer of Golab Singh on promotion to Betul. I inspected 308 children
from 46 villages in his Circle; in nearly all the vaccination was extremely good, the
cicatrices were characteristic, and I ascertained from the parents themselves that
most of the children were vaccinated arm to arm. I consider that he has done
efficient work.
Vaccinator Golam Hosain has continued to do well. His work has been
generally arm to arm. I inspected 130 children from 23 villages in his Circle and
was thoroughly satisfied. I consider he is deserving of promotion.
Vaccinator Gunput Singh was apponted to Umret in room of Mohomed
Talib promoted to Native Superintendent. I inspected 259 children from 50
villages in his Circle. In the villages south of Umret I found that he had vaccin-
ated chiefly from crusts and did not endeavour to vaccinate arm to arm, although
my inspection proved that he was very careful in selecting his cases, and his
work generally was very good indeed. During my stay I directed that children
should be collected from 3 or 4 villages and vaccinated from fresh lymph arm to
arm, and to continue this method, as there was no hurry to finish his work, This
was done in the villages north of Umret and in the Imbai Circle.
1st Class Vaccinator Sita Ram has done very well indeed, and has proved that
he can work well if he likes without embroiling himself with the people. I have
inspected 285 of his cases from 26 villages and can say that his work can
compare favourably with any of the other vaccinators. I found nearly all his
work arm to arm, more especially in the Ramakona Circle where not one bad or
doubtful mark was seen in 66 cases from 9 villages.
Vaccinator Ameer Khan.—I inspected 502 children from 85 villages during
the season in the Bichhowa, Khamurpani and Mohgaon Circles. In the Mohgoan
Circle the cases were chiefly arm to arm vaccination, and the children bore typical
marks. In the Khamarpani and Bichhowa Circles the villages are far apart, and
arm to arm vaccination was not carried out so generally as I could wish, but
still I was pleased with what I saw.
Vaccinator Roshan Lall.—This man has improved very much since last year
and has worked very diligently. I have inspected 409 children from 29 villages
in his Circle, and although he was not able to vaccinate arm to arm so generally
as in other Circles, still his work was good, for I only found 25 unsuccessful and
doubtful cases in the number I inspected, and so far his work has borne the
test of time, in as much as small-pox, which has recently appeared in his Circle, has
not attacked one of the children vaccinated during the last three years by him
