The marks were very good. I observed that there was a considerable number of
children still remaining unprotected in the villages along my route, from which I
fear that the talooka of Nussecrabad was gone over too quickly. Several people
brought their children for me to vaccinate; I have never known of people doing this
in any other collectorate than this of Shikarpoor.
19. I tested closely the work of six Government and nine local vaccinators,
and also examined, without testing the records, some work of three more Govern-
ment vaccinators, one Municipal vaccinator, and one apothecary in charge of a dis-
pensary ; in all nineteen individuals' work has been examined by myself. Their work
was spread over the Kurrachee and Shikarpoor Collectorates and Upper Sind Frontier
district. I did scarcely any work in Hydrabad Collectorate and Thur and Parkur Poli-
tical Superintendency. Hassah Mull, 1st Assistant Superintendent, has superin-
tended and tested the work of the vaccinators there, and all his reports have been very
satisfactory. He examined the work of local vaccinators Chandiram, Soomar and Ram
Chund, and of Government vaccinators General Nos. 165,142, 199, 195, 246 and 250.
He pursued the same method as myself, viz., calling the names of the vaccinated
children over from the registers. He also inspected the condition of the lymph in
use at the dispensaries of Alliyar-ka-Tanda, Halla, Oomcrcote, Nuggur Parkur, Mittee
and Mahomed Khan's Tanda, and frequently supplied them with lymph. I examined
7,919 vaccinated children in 377 villages. During the year I travelled 1,452 miles
between encampments. Assoo Mull, 2nd Assistant Superintendent, examined in the
Kurrachee Collectorate the work of local vaccinators Chotecr Mull, Nubby Bux, and
Sookanund. He also inspected the lymph at Jurruck dispensary and started work
by means of tubes at the dispensaries of Bola Khan's Thana and Meerpoor Buttora¬
Altogether fifteen Government and thirteen local vaccinators' work has been inspected
during the past year; in short, every man's except one. To give an idea of the
ground gone over in inspecting and superintending the work of the vaccinators, it
is necccssary to say that one man's work was examined at the extreme end of the
Thur and Parkur district, another's on the Jeysulmeer boundary beyond Kessrah, a
third's in Oobaora talooka on the Bhawulpoor boundary, a fourth's near the Murree
hills, a fifth's in the Cutchee between Jacobabad and the hills to the west of that
station, and a sixth's in Kohistan. I can say that neither myself nor Hassah Mull
have spared any trouble or labour in trying to spread vaccination to the utmost limits
of this province, and by inspecting the work in such remote talookas we have shown the
vaccinators that their remoteness will not protect them from detection should they
falsify their records or do any other wrong thing.
20. When I was in the Jacobabad district, Mr. Bolton called a meeting of
the Zemindars, Mukhis, and other influential residents of the Sarhad talooka ; it
was held in one of his tents on the 29th of January 1866, at the village of Thoul.
The meeting was well attended by the Zemindars, Mukhis, and Patels of villages.
Mr. Bolton and I spoke to the meeting on the subjects of vaccination, inoculation,
