very good, and his records correct. After completing the examination of Mehur
Chand's work in the Sukkrund Talooka, I proceeded to Nowshera Talooka to inspect
the work of Purtab Rai, which I found very unsatisfactory: his lymph was all
deteriorated; I made him abandon it, and ordered him to go over again, after getting
good lymph, the whole of the preceding month's work, to re-vaccinate all children
whose marks he should find imperfect. Taking Purtab Rai with me, I crossed the
Indus and entered Sehwan Districts, and in the Dadoo Talooka inspected the work of
General No. 250 (Wuttun Mull). This Vaccinator, about three weeks before my
visit, had taken lymph from Purtab Rai, and, as a matter of course, it was also
deteriorated, yet it was better than Purtab Rai's ; in fact, one day's was tolerably good.
Without delay, I went on to Sehwan, and there inspected the lymph of Rughu Mull,
and found it excellent; from it I gave Purtab Rai a good supply of lymph in vesicles
on a boy's arms, which he took across to Nowshera District. I also charged some
capillary tubes from it, and sent them by Rughu Mull to Dadoo, to start good lymph
for Wuttun Mull. I was very much displeased with Wuttun Mull for not reporting
the deteriorated condition of Purtab Rai's lymph. Rughu Mull's work was very satis-
factory, and his records correct. At the town of Sehwan I saw two children who had
been vaccinated by Mr. Apothecary Pollard. He said that he had great difficulty in get-
ting the Hindoos to submit their children to be vaccinated. Rughu Mull had vaccinated
sixteen children in the town of Sehwan, and he confirmed Mr. Pollard's statement
regarding the difficulty of getting children to operate on in the town. From Sehwan I
again crossed the Indus, and came into Nowshera District, where some more recent work
of General No. 108 (Mehur Chand) was examined, and found to be everything I could
desire. Returning to Old Halla, I saw there a few children who had been vaccinated
at the Dispensary by Hospital Assistant Daniel since my previous visit.
