There was a reduction in the number vaccinated, but the quality of the work, as
furnished, was much superior, and very satisfactory. Two hundred and fifty-five births were
recorded in this town, being at the rate of 44.76 per 1,000 of population, and the percentage of
infants vaccinated to number born calculated on this figure amounts to only 1.56. The popula-
tions according to class were operated on at the following rates, viz. Hindus at .22 per cent. and
Mahomedans at .46 per cent. The Civil Surgeon says that the people willingly submit to
vaccination, preferring it to inoculation, and gladly pay the ex-inoculators their fees ; that
inoculation is consequently dying out; and that he has ascertained that a very large pro-
portion of the people of the district have already been protected. No deaths from small-pox
were reported to have occurred in the Purulia town.

No. 4817.
FROM SURGEON-MAJOR W. H. GREGG,
Sanitary Commissioner for Bengal,
To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,
MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT.
Dated Calcutta, the 5th August 1889.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour, in accordance with the orders of the Govern-
ment of India, No. 28—1579-95, dated the 15th July 1887, to submit the annual
statistical returns attached, and the following brief notes on vaccination in
Bengal for the official year 1888-89.
2. Dr. Lidderdale was in charge of the Department from the commence-
ment of the year up to the 4th August 1888, with the exception of six weeks
from 16th March to 30th April, during which time he was on privilege leave,
and Dr. K. P. Gupta, Superintendent of Vaccination, Metropolitan Circle, in
addition to his own duties, had charge of the Vaccination Department in Bengal.
On the forenoon of the 5th August Dr. Lidderdale made over charge to
Dr. D. D. Cunningham temporarily, and proceeded on furlough on medical
certificate. I relieved Dr. Cunningham on the 25th August, and was in charge
of the Department during the rest of the year.
3. The strength of the working establishment compared with that of the
previous year was as follows :—

REMARKS.
* Including the Health Officer of
the Town of Calcutta, who is in
charge of vaccination in that
city.
The decrease in the number of head vaccinators is due to the abolition of the
Government staff in the Sonthal Pergunnahs Circle on the introduction of the
licensed system of vaccination in 1887. The increase in the number of paid
vaccinators is owing to a larger number of men being employed in municipal-
ities. The increase under licensed vaccinators and apprentices is due to the
extension of the licensed system of vaccination in the several circles of the
Province.
Cost of vaccination.
4. The total cost of vaccination throughout the Province for the year
1888-89 was Rs. 1,67,790-3, against Rs. 1,57,346-8-2
in the previous year, the average cost of each suc-
cessful case being the same as in the previous year, viz., Re. 0-1-6. In Calcutta
and its Suburbs the cost of vaccination was met by the City Corporation and
the Suburban Municipality respectively, with the exception of the pay of the
Deputy Superintendent in the case of the latter, which is borne by Govern-
ment. Mofussil municipalities contributed Rs. 13,566-13-1 towards the cost of
vaccination, against Rs. 12,437-5-7 in 1887-88. The contributions from private
sources amounted to Rs. 587-2-4, against Rs. 438-7 in 1887-88. In Calcutta
each successful case cost Re. 1-3-1, against Re. 1-0-3 in 1887-88; in the Suburbs
Re. 0-14-10, against Re. 0-14-2 in 1887-88; and in the mofusil generally
Re. 0-2-8, against Re. 0-2-9 in 1887-88.

The Report of the previous year incorporated with the Sanitary Report, and the
Resolution recorded on it.
Under the orders contained in the Resolution of the Government of India,
in the Home Department, No. 28—1579-95, dated the 15th July 1887, the
vaccination report, which had previously been incorporated in the annual report
of the Sanitary Commissioner, has been excluded from it, and will in future be
submitted triennially, only brief notes on vaccination with statistical returns
being submitted for the two intervening years. The note for 1888-89 and the
returns have been submitted by Dr. W. H. Gregg, who assumed charge of the
department on the 25th August 1888 in succession to Dr. Lidderdale, who has
retired from the service.
The following table shows the total number of primary vaccinations per-
formed in 1888-89 as compared with those for 1887-88:—

REMARKS.
* Including the Health Officer of
the Town of Calcutta, who is in
charge of vaccination in that
city.
The total cost of vaccination was Rs. 1,67,790-3, against Rs. 1,57,346-8-2
in the previous year, but the average cost of each successful case was the same,
viz., 1 anna 6 pie.
Vaccination was for the first time introduced into the district of Chittagong,
and up to the close of the year 8 out of 13 thanas of that district had been pro¬
( 2 )
tected by the Government agency. It was extended to the four remaining
thanas of Gya, and to six thanas of Balasore: some vaccination operations were
also performed for the first time to suppress local outbreaks of small-pox
in Sarun and Chumparun.
A useful map, illustrating the extent to which vaccination has been intro-
duced in Bengal, accompanies the Sanitary Commissioner's notes. From this
it appears that the practice of inoculation is prohibited in all parts of Bengal,
except the rural portions of the Durbhunga, Mozufferpore, Sarun, and Chum-
parun districts in Behar, a small portion of Balasore in Orissa, and the Cox's
Bazar subdivision in Chittagong.
Favourable remarks have been recorded by Dr. Gregg concerning the good
work done by Drs. Wood, Gupta, and Waddell and Assistant Surgeon Narendra
Nath Gupta. Mention has also been made of the services rendered by Assistant
Surgeons Umesh Chunder Ghose, Preumber Nath Mitter, Ashutosh Law, and
Moulvie Tajamul Hossain, Deputy Superintendents of Vaccination. The obser-
vations will be communicated to the Appointment Department.
