VACCINATION AND DISPENSARIES IN RAJPUTANA.

55. There is far too much Typhoid and Tuberculosis due to insanitary
habits. The high death rate of Pneumonia is probably due to Influenza.
56. The water supply is insufficient for the needs of the population
and owing to a bad monsoon is running short already. Proposals to dig new
wells have been put forward but seem to have been filed. The water supply
must be increased and as soon as possible. There is an idea that the water
running from the trenching grounds returns to the main well supply of Ajmer
(Bhaonta). It is partly for this reason that incinerators are recommended.
57. The Sanitary Sub-Committee of the Municipality appears to be anxi-
ous to work for the remedy of many of these ills and I thank the Members
who undertake the duties of Ward Superintendents and are regular attendants
both at the meetings of the Conservancy Sub-Committee and the weekly in-
spections of the city.

58. The Sanitary Inspector Mohamed Raza Khan does his best and is a
hardworking man : but the work and responsibilities are more than one man
can manage. I hope a good Assistant Health Officer will soon be appointed.
59. The Commis¬
sioner, Ajmer-Mer¬
wara, reports that the
rules for the improve-
ment of village Sani-
tation were restricted
to the same villages
as last year as detail-
ed on the margin.
60. The Sanitary condition of the villages in all the three Sub-divisions
is reported to have been satisfactory. The villages are kept clean and the
health of the people is also satisfactory.
VACCINATION.
STATEMENT I.
61. In Ajmer-Merwara including Nasirabad Cantonment, the total number
of persons vaccinated was 12,564 against 14,242 in 1920-21, a decrease
of 1,678. The total number of Primary Vaccination fell from 14,154 in 1920-21
to 12,700 in 1921-22 and the number of Primary successful Vaccination from
13,421 to 11,693.
62. The aggregate of the both Primary vaccination and re-vaccination was
13,108, showing a decrease of 1,304 as compared with last year.
63. The average number of Vaccinators employed during the year under
report was 15.39 with one Indian Superintendent. The increase of .39 is due
to the fact that a third vaccinator was employed for the Ajmer Municipal area
in January 1922. Each Vaccinator performed an average of 816 operations
against 949 in the previous year.
64. Fresh calf lymph was obtained upto 31st October 1921, from Punjab
Vaccine Institute and thereafter from Manpur Vaccine Depôt in Central India
whence it was received cheaper and of a good quality.
65. The Civil Surgeon, Ajmer-Merwara, inspected 861 vaccinated children
in 11 towns and villages against 1,221 in 1920-21, of whom 852 were found
successful.
66. The Superintendent of Vaccination, Nasirabad, examined 25 children
against 732 in the last year of whom 14 were found successful.
67. The Indian Superintendent of the Vaccination, Ajmer-Merwara, in-
spected 329 towns and villages against 304 in 1920-21 and examined 4,600
vaccinated children against 5,032 in the previous year.
68. The number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of popula-
tion was 24.06 against 27.20 in 1920-21.
69. Vaccination operations were carried on with great difficulty not only
owing to persons concealing their children and refusing to produce them for
vaccination but because villagers are now being misguided by Non-co-operatons.
