Inoculation.—Inoculation was extensively practised in the Contai sub-division of
Midnapore, where it gave rise to small-pox. It was also practised in a few villages in other
districts. Reports on the subject were always made to the district Magistrates, who, as
a rule, are said to take little pains to enforce the law. One man was fined Rs. 10; three
others, who practised inoculation under the guise and shelter of purwanahs which they
received from the sub-divisional officer, were discharged on the production of them.
Small-pox.—Out of 50 reports on the outbreak of small-pox received between
1st April 1879 and 31st March 1880, in 46 the disease was found to be small-pox and
in four chicken-pox. Of the 46, 8 occurred in the 24-Pergunnahs, 8 in Hooghly, 9
in Burdwan, 13 in Midnapore, 4 in Bankoora, 2 in Moorshedabad, one in Nuddea, and
one in Jessore, affecting altogether 140 villages. One thousand four hundred and sixty-two
persons were ascertained to have been attacked, of whom 1,194 recovered and 268 died.
Of these 111 were vaccinated, of whom 100 recovered and 11 died; 112 inoculated, of whom
97 recovered and 15 died ; seven were previously attacked; five recovered and two died; and
1,232 were unprotected, of whom 992 recovered and 240 died. Of the 46 reports, in 41
vaccination was performed round the infected localities, in four the people refused to take
vaccination, and in one no vaccination was required. In 23 the villages were protected by
vaccination, in 22 by inoculation and vaccination, and in one the villages were unprotected.
In 40 the disease was traced to small-pox, in one to inoculation, and in five the origin could
not be discovered.
Conduct of establishment.—The deputies are reported to have worked hard as usual, and
all to have performed their duties satisfactorily.
Money expenditure.—The total expenditure of the circles during the past year was
Rs. 32,685-0-3, against Rs. 31,979-12 in 1878-79.
The average cost to Government of each successful case was 10¼ pie, against one anna
3¼ pie in 1878-79.
