GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 17th July 1876.
Letter from the Surgeon-General, Indian Medical Department, No. 2631,
dated 4th July 1876—Submitting the Annual Report on Vaccination for
the year 1875-76 with his observations and remarks.
RESOLUTION.—Government are glad to notice that without in any way
lessening the usefulness of the Annual Report, Dr. Pinkerton has contrived
to curtail its dimensions both in the matter of letter-press and statistical
tables. The general work of the department has been satisfactorily done,
and is creditable to the officers concerned.
2. The year has been distinguished by a severe epidemic of small-pox
in Bombay, which, however, did not spread to any great extent to the neigh-
bouring districts, with perhaps the exception of Tanna. One consequence
has been to draw the attention of Government to the need of compulsory
vaccination in the city of Bombay, and a Bill for this purpose, drafted by Dr.
Pinkerton, is now under the consideration of Government, who are confident
that it will meet with the support and approval of intelligent public opinion.
From the general results of the operations of the department it would not
appear to be necessary for the Mofussil, as Government believe that there the
opposition to and prejudice against vaccination are surely being overcome.
That this is a correct view is shown by the great increase in successful opera-
tions in the Southern Circle, which from being one of the most backward is
now taking a high place, to the credit of its Superintendent, Dr. Raby.
3. The attention of the Secretary of State should be called to the omis-
sion of the annual supplies of lymph, as pointed out in the 25th paragraph of
the report, with the expression of the hope of Government that Dr. Pinkerton's
request may be complied with. Very much of the vaccination in Bombay
this year was performed directly from the heifer, and with very fair success.
4. The total cost of the department exceeded that of last year by
Rs. 2,138, being Rs. 2,22,802, as compared with Rs. 2,20,663, which is due
chiefly to the increase in establishment of 1 vaccinator and 3 peons in Native
States, and the cost of heifers purchased in Bombay during the prevalence
of the epidemic. It will be time to consider the question of debiting a por-
tion of the expenses of the Vaccination Department to that of sanitation,
when the Government of India have sanctioned the proposals of this Gov-
ernment about the amalgamation of the two departments. Out of the total
expenditure, Imperial claims Rs. 1,05,570, Municipal Rs. 16,123, Local Funds
Rs. 60,686, Native Chiefs Rs. 40,423.
5. The average cost of each successful vaccination was, exclusive of
the pay of Superintendents, 3 annas 8 pies, being a decrease of 3 pies from
last year. Including all charges it was 4 annas 11 pies, or 5 pies less than
in 1874-75. The circles which have most reduced the cost are the Presi¬
( 2 )
dency, from 8 annas 9 pies to 4 annas 4 pies, and Cutch from 14 annas 8
pies to 10 annas 11 pies. In the last-named there is still much room for
improvement. The average number of persons vaccinated by each operator
varies from 436 in Cutch to 3,060 in Sind. These show a large increase on
the previous year, while the Presidency Circle rises to 2,228 from 1,176.
6. The work done by the various Superintendents seems to have been
thoroughly satisfactory, Drs. Williams, Cody, Raby, and Blomfield, and Mr.
Ananta Chandroba, being specially brought to the notice of Government.
Dr. Pinkerton's opinion that personal examination of some 3,000 children by
each Superintendent in his own division as to the success of the operations is
a sufficient test of the work done, is concurred in.
7. It is much to be regretted that no less than 12 vaccinators had to
be dismissed; and, judging from the heavy fines inflicted by Dr. Blomfield
on others, more ought to have shared this fate. The expediency of fining
repeatedly or heavily such men as vaccinators is open to question.
8. The report of the Collector of Ratnágiri on the subject of inocula-
tion in that district, as pointed out in paragraph 42, may be awaited, and the
attention of the Collectors of Surat and Kaira called to Dr. Pinkerton's
remarks in his 48th paragraph on the extreme inaccuracy of the death re-
gisters in their respective districts. Such cases as these show the advantage
of utilising the services of the officers of the Vaccination Department in
sanitary inspections.
9. In addition to their proper duties as Superintendents of Vaccination
the officers of the department have inspected dispensaries, examined birth
and death registers, and advised on the removal or abatement of nuisances.
10. In conclusion, Government fully recognise the excellent services
of Dr. Pinkerton as head of the department over which he has so long and
successfully presided.
11. The usual copies of this report and Government Resolution should
be sent to the Secretary of State.

5. Excluding recoipts from paying patients which are credited to Government,
the total expenditure for the up-keep of the asylum during
the year under report was Rs. 21,369-15-5 OP an average
of Rs. 10-1-14-10 per head of inmates, against Rs. 23,100-
2-9 or Rs. 98-4-11, respectively, in the previous year. The increase was due to higher
coat under diet, establishment, clothing and bedding and contingencies. Excluding
the charges on account of " repairs and maintenance, ' " rates and taxes' and
profits on manufactures the average cost per inmate works out to Rs. 77-7-10
against Rs. 76-2-6 in 1911. The increase in expenditure under establishment proper
was due to the personal allowance of Rs. 25 per month granted to the Deputy Super-
intendent of the Asylum and that under diet to high price of food stuffs and liberal
use of sick diet.
