the tappidarate of Muthari, in Halla Talooka, and in the tappidarate of Mussoo Tanda,
and found it well done, his lymph good, and records true. This Vaccinator's work is
always excellently done, and wherever there is any difficulty to get over, I have only
to send Lalloo to overcome it. He ingratiates himself with the people wherever he goes,
and is always hailed by the villagers among whom he works, with every expression of
good-will and friendship, although only an humble and illiterate man as compared with
the Amils (Hindoo Moonshees) of my establishment; still I look on him as the type of
what a Vaccinator ought to be,—conciliating, kind, and even gentle in his manner and
intercourse with all. There are two of his brothers also Vaccinators, one of whom is
in the local establishment, and they are all three much the same kind of men. One of
them, General No. 199 (Allah Bux), I noticed in one of my former annual Reports
was presented with a lungi (a kind of scarf or shawl) by Major Tyrwhitt for good work
and conduct. In the months of August and September, some work of Majlis Rai was
examined in Kotree; and in the former month, Lalloo took lymph from Kotree to
work his way to Veerow, to try and overcome the opposition and difficulties unsuccess-
fully encounted by Jettah Mull. His own humble account is, that he went, and neither
met with opposition nor difficulty; and yet the Koso Belooches there threatened to stone
a Vaccinator some years ago. At the end of September I went out to Veerow, and
found him working pleasantly with the people, many of whom he had already vacci-
nated, and with whom he was on the best possible terms. After that, he remained
another month working among the Koso Belooches, by which time many of
them were leaving for the plains to work at the harvest. At the end of October, he
suggested that he should be sent to another talooka, and return earlier to the hills
next year, at about the beginning of July, when there are more people in the hills
grazing their cattle during the inundation months. I adopted his suggestion, and sent
him back to Doaba Talooka. In October I again saw some work of Chellah Ram's
in Hoosri Tappidarate, in Doaba Talooka, and found it well done. On Lalloo's return
to Doaba, Chellah Ram returned to Oomerkote Districts, carrying lymph with him in
capillary tubes. In November, Chanderam's work was examined and closely tested in
five tappidarates of Alliyar-ka-Tanda Talooka, and found very satisfactory ; his lymph
was good, records true and very neatly kept. I also saw some children in the town
of Alliyar-ka-Tanda, who had been well vaccinated by Mr. Apothecary George. In
the tappidarate of Shahji Bit, in the Halla Talooka, I examined the work of Gene-
ral No. 199 (Allah Bux), and found it everything I could desire. Some works of
General No. 77 were also examined here, and found very satisfactory ; his
lymph in Old Halla was very good. No work was going on at the Dispensary
in New Halla, but I brought a child with good vesicles from Old Halla for the
Hospital Assistant to commence operations from.
From the Halla District
I passed up to Nowshera District, and in Sukkrund Talooka saw a few
children who had been vaccinated by General No. 78 (Hassah Mull). In December
the work of General No. 108 (Mehur Chand) was most thoroughly examined;
two days' lymph was good, but one day's was not so : it was abandoned. His work was
