FROM
SURGEON-LIEUT.-COLONEL W. A. C. ROE, F.R.C.S.,
Offg. Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab,
To
C. L. TUPPER, ESQUIRE, C.S.,
Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab.
Dated LAHORE, the 30th June 1893.
SIR,
I have the honor to submit the Report on Vaccination in the Punjab for
the year 1892-93, with the prescribed statements.
Administration of the
Department.
2. Doctor Dyson was in charge of the Special Staff throughout the
year. On the 1st of May 1893, Dr. Stephen proceeded
on two months' privilege leave and made over charge
of his appointment to me on that date. As I have
only recently assumed charge of the office of Sanitary Commissioner, my
report will merely consist of a general summary of the work performed by the
Vaccinators, supplemented by facts gathered from the Vaccination Reports of
Civil Surgeons.

3. The statement in the margin compares the Establishments employed
during the years 1891-92 and 1892-93.
The number of Native Supervisors is the
same in 1892-93, as it was in 1891-92,
but there have been some slight
changes made amongst this class of
officials, in regard to their grade and
pay. In Karnál the salary of the
Native Supervisor was increased from
Rs. 30 to Rs. 40 per mensem, and
that of the Native Supervisor of Mu¬
zaffargarh was also increased by Rs. 5.
In the Kángra district, on the repre-
sentation of the District authorities, the
2nd grade Native Supervisor on Rs. 30 was displaced and Pandit Bálkishan,
late Deputy Superintendent of Vaccination, now on pension, was entertained
temporarily on a salary of Rs. 100 per month, with effect from the 17th
February 1893. The strength of the 1st and 2nd class Vaccinators is
the same as last year, but amongst the 3rd class Vaccinators there was, on an
average, an increase of two Vaccinators. There was a decrease of one 3rd class
Vaccinator in Pesháwar district and an increase of one each in the districts of
Hoshiárpur, Ráwalpindi and Dera Ismail Khan. The additional 3rd class
Vaccinator in the Dera Ismail Khan district was specially entertained to
carry on vaccination in the Shiráni country beyond the frontier and its
neighbourhood with an extra, allowance of Rs. 5 a month ; an experienced
3rd class Vaccinator of the District Staff was deputed for the work and his
place was filled up by a candidate.

The total cost of the Department was Rs. 76,698, or Rs. 1,689 greater
than in 1891-92. The total increased cost of the District and Cantonment Staffs
was Rs. 893, and of the Special Staff Rs. 796.
The cause of increase in
the District and Canton-
ment Staffs.
5. In the District and Cantonment Staffs the cost of Establishment was
Rs. 634 more than in the previous year. This extra expen-
diture is partly due to the entertainment of Pandit Bálkishan
and the appointment of extra Vaccinators in the districts
of Hoslriárpur, Ráwalpindi and Dera Ismail Khan, and partly to an increase in
pay of the Native Supervisors of Karnál and Muzaffargarh. The expenditure
under the heads of Travelling Allowance and Contingencies was Rs. 143 and
Rs. 116, respectively, more than in the previous year.
The cost of the Special
Staff and reason for in-
creased expenditure.
6. In the Special Staff the cost of Establishment was greater by
Rs. 774 and was due chiefly to the Deputy Sanitary Com-
missioner having obtained an increment to his pay during
the year, and partly to an extra allowance of Rs. 5 sanc-
tioned for a Vaccinator in charge of the Animal Lymph Depôt. The expenditure
under Travelling Allowance was less by Rs. 257, and that under Contingent
expenses Rs. 279 greater than in the previous year.

7. The statement in the margin
contrasts the total number of successful
vaccine operations performed during the
year under review with the number
performed during the past three years
(1889-90 to 1891-92) and the average
cost of each successful operation. It
will be seen that the average cost of
each successful operation was the same
as in 1891-92, viz., Re. 0-1-9.
The general results ob-
tained during the year.
8. The following statement shows the number of primary vaccinations
and re-vaccinations performed by the different establish-
ments with the percentages of success during the years
1891-92 and 1892-93 :—
* NOTE.—Excludes the number of vaccinations successfully performed by the Dispensary Staff.
5
Hoshiárpur showed the largest decrease, i.e., from 56,744 in 1891-92 to
38,189 during the year under review. It occurred wholly in re-vaccinations.
In Gujránwála also, which, next to Hoshiárpur, showed a great falling-off in
the number of total operations, the decrease took place mostly in re-vac-
cinations.
Districts in which there
was an increase of opera¬
tions.

which there was an increase in the number of vaccina-
tions in 1892-93 over the number recorded in 1891-92 :—

The increase was most marked in Gurdáspur, Mooltan, Jhelum, Delhi and
Karnál, varying from 9,529 in the last named district to 12,936 in Gurdáspur.
In Ludhiána, Amritsar, Dera Ismail Khan and Ferozepore the increase was also
considerable.
In the districts of Mooltan, Gurdáspur, Amritsar, Ferozepore and Jhelum,
the increase was wholly under re-vaccinations, but under primary vaccinations
there was a decrease, particularly in the district of Mooltan, in which the
number of persons vaccinated for the first time fell from 22,386 in 1891-92 to
14,544 during the year.
Causes of decrease in
primary vaccinations.
18. The number of primary vaccinations was much less during this
year than in 1891-92. The decrease was general through¬
out the Province.
Next to Mooltan the districts of
Hissár. Kángra, Gurgáon and Ráwalpindi showed the largest falling off in the
number of primary operations. The decrease in Mooltan is reported to be
largely due to the unhealthiness of the year and the excessive death rate in
children under one year of age. In the districts of Hissár, Gurgáon and
Ráwalpindi the diminution was in some measure due to certain portions of these
districts having been reserved for the Vaccinators of the Special Staff. In the
hilly district of Kángra it was partly due to the Vaccinators having been
employed in the treatment of cholera cases during the months of April, May,
June, July and August, and partly to there being no permanent Native Super-
visor for the greater portion of the season, to look after the vaccination staff.
The decrease in primary vaccinations seems chiefly due to the unhealthiness
of the past year, but partly also to the failure of the lymph supply and
the carelessness of some of the Vaccinators who were fined or otherwise
punished.

Dr. Stephen inspected 13,980 Primary Vaccinations showing a per-
centage of 95 efficiently vaccinated. Last year the number inspected by him was
14,222 and 96 per cent. were efficiently vaccinated. In Ludhiána, Umballa and
Simla the work was not so satisfactory as in the districts of Hoshiárpur, Jullun-
dur, Hazára, Gurdáspur and Ferozepore.
Inspections by Dr. Dyson
and Native Supervisons of
the Special Staff.
27. Dr. Dyson, the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, inspected only
1,910 cases, of which he found 96.17 per cent. successful.
Last year the total number of operations inspected by him
was 8,668. This decrease is due to the fact that during
the greater part of the cold weather
Doctor Dyson was engaged in
examining into the health of the inhabitants of the villages situated along the
Western Jumna Canal.
The two Native Supervisors of the Special Staff inspected a total of
29,532 Primary vaccinations and 12,400 re-vaccinations, the percentage of Primary
cases found successful being 94.22 and of successful re-vaccinations 64.79.
Vaccination inspecting by
a specially appointed Native
Superintendent.
28. The District Boards of Gujrát, Gujránwála, Shahpur and Jhelum
having agreed to bear an equal share of the salary
of an Assistant Surgeon for inspecting vaccination work
in the above districts, under the orders of Govern-
ment Assistant Surgeon Mehta Devi Dyal was entrusted with this duty
experimentally. This appointment was made with a view to obtain the services
of an intelligent officer who would be able to devote some time to inspecting the
work of Vaccinators.
The following table shows the result of the cases
inspected by him: —

Mehta Devi Dyál inspected only 8,587 primary vaccinations and 1,429 re-
vaccinations, altogether 9,966 cases, during the period he was employed, i.e., from
14th October 1892 to 31st March 1893, the percentage of primary cases found
efficiently vaccinated amounting to 97 and of re-vaccinations to 48. In the
statement given below the percentages of successful primary and secondary
vaccinations inspected by Mehta Devi Dyál are contrasted with those reported
by Native Supervisors and Vaccinators of the four districts in which the Native
Superintendent was employed :—

Vaccination inspections
by inspecting officers
29. In accordance with the orders of the Government of India conveyed
in letter No. 6—197 Sanitary, dated 29th August 1892, a
statement is given on the reverse showing the total number of
primary and re-vaccinations performed in each district of the province during the
vaccinating season, the total number inspected by Civil Surgeons and Native
Supervisors or other inspecting officers, the percentages of those inspected,
together with the percentages of cases found successful by them as contrasted
with the percentages reported by the Vaccinators:—
14
reported to have been successful, showing an unusually high percentage of
98.23 of successful cases. In Kapurthala, Nábha, Jínd and Farídkot the total
vaccinations were almost all primary operations and the percentages of success-
ful cases were 95.50, 91.70, 92.30, and 92.16, respectively.
Animal lymph vaccina-
tion in Native States.
39. In Patiála 91 per cent. of the operations were performed with animal
lymph which shows that the system has become very
popular in that State. No mention is made of the number
of vaccinations performed with animal lymph in any of the other States or
whether any efforts were made to introduce the method in them.
Places in which compul-
sory vaccination was intro-
duced, or was under con-
sideration.
40. Vaccination was compulsory at the end of the year 1891-92 in the
municipalities of Rohtak, Umballa, Simla, Kasauli and
Amritsar, and during the year under review the Act was
introduced in Dera Gházi Khan and a portion of the
municipality of Delhi. Draft rules have been submitted to
Government to make vaccination compulsory in the municipal towns of Lahore
and Jullundur; and in the Municipal Committees of Murree, Dharmsála, Jhang
and Bannu draft rules are under consideration.

Changes in the Special Staff.—Ganga Bishen, 2nd class Supervisor, who was reduced
for impertinence in 1891-92 was transferred to the Montgomery district. Ishar Dás, 1st
class Vaccinator, was promoted to the rank of Supervisor, 2nd class, vice Ganga Bishen.
Anant Rám (1st), 2nd class, was promoted to 1st class, vice. Ishar Dás, and Anant Rám
(2nd), 3rd class Vaccinator, succeeded Anant Rám (1st). Ralla Rám, 3rd class Vaccinator,
was appointed to the Special Staff in June 1892. Kartár Singh, 2nd class Vaccinator, was
transferred to the Gurgáon district staff in March 1893, and he was replaced by 2nd class
Vaccinator Jowahar Lál from the Gurgáon district staff.
Expenditure.—The average cost of vaccination per head in 1892-93 was 4 annas
8 pies against 4 annas 10 pies in 1891-92.
Inspection.—During the year 1892-93 I inspected 1,910 vaccinations against 8,668 in
1891-92. This great falling off in numbers is due to the fact that during the whole of
the cold weather months I was engaged in an investigation of the health of the people
living along the Western Jumna Canal.
Summary.—The most striking point in the working of the Special Staff is the steady
and rapid increase in the number of vaccinations performed with animal lymph.
