GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 13th August 1869.
Letter from the Inspector General, Indian Medical Department, No. 2280,
dated 3rd June 1869—Forwarding a report on Vaccination for 1868,
prepared by the Superintendent General of Vaccination, as directed in
Government Resolution No. 1813, dated the 30th September last.
Further letter from the Inspector General, Indian Medical Department, No.
2664, dated 27th July 1869—Containing his observations on the above
report.
RESOLUTION.—In the year under report there were 280 Vaccinators
employed throughout the Presidency, and the total number of Vaccinations
in civil life amounted to 426,253, giving an increase of 34,838 over the
number shown in the preceding year's report. Of these operations 93.5
per cent. were successful. The total cost was Rs. 1,11,524, which gives
annas 4 and pies 2 for each Vaccination.
2. His Excellency in Council learns with satisfaction that the recent
arrangements by which the Department has been put on a better footing in
respect to pay, are producing such good results.
3. The unavoidable frequent changes that have taken place amongst
the Superintendents of Circles, owing chiefly to the demand for Medical
Officers in connection with the Abyssinian Expedition, are to be regretted.
Efficient superintendence of work of this kind must, in a great measure, de-
pend upon the Officers having a thorough acquaintance with the require-
ments of the Districts under their charge, and a personal knowledge of their
men.
4. The suggestion that the Vaccinators in the service of Native States
and Municipalities should neither be employed nor discharged without the
approval of the Superintendents of Circles, and that their pay should also be
fixed by the same authorities is a good one; and will doubtless commend
itself to the approval of the several Chiefs and Municipal Commissioners.
5. The proposal to transfer Sattara from the Southern to the Central
Division, and Kulladghee from the Central to the Southern, is approved, and
may be adopted.

6. It is satisfactory to learn that so much practical good has resulted
from the registers that are now kept in each village. They will, independently
of their utility for statistical purposes, afford an effective check on the returns
of the Vaccinators. Government desire that the special attention of Collectors
and their Assistants be given to the inspection of these Registers. It should
be the duty of the Mamlutdars' Carkoons in whose circles the villages are
situated, to pay as much attention to the accurate preparation of these and
other statistical documents, as to that of the ordinary revenue accounts
of the village.
7. Dr. Turnbull's remarks as to the zealous manner in which the Munici-
pal Commissioners in the Sattara Collectorate watch the work performed by
the Vaccinators in their employ, proves how much good may be effected by
enlisting the services of the people themselves in the work of supervision.
"They (the Municipal Commissioners) look after the Vaccinators' returns
so minutely, that they refuse not unfrequently to pay him, till they receive
the confirmation." No stipendiary agency that Government could employ
would probably be so efficacious.
8. The time has now arrived for considering whether the strength and
efficiency of the Vaccination Department, on the success of which the happi-
ness and safety of the great mass of the population so greatly depend, might
not be increased by the aid of the recently established " Local Funds," and
the Committees through which they are administered. The Superintendent
General is requested to place himself in communication, through the Revenue
Commissioners, with the several Presidents of Committees, and ascertain how
far they are disposed to contribute towards this work. In the opinion of
Government the rural Vaccinators should chiefly be paid from this source.
If this principle were adopted, and the Vaccinators for large towns paid
for by Municipalities, the entire amount of the imperial expenditure might
be devoted to strengthening the staff of Superintendents. Every District
or Collectorate might have at least one Assistant Superintendent. In making
this suggestion, His Excellency in Council wishes it to be clearly understood
that his object is solely to increase the efficiency of the Department, and not
to relieve the Imperial Exchequer. It is not, in the opinion of Government,
just, after the people have responded to the calls that have been made
towards local taxation, for the State to withdraw the aid it had previously
given. So far from voluntary efforts on the part of the people affording
grounds for the diminution of State aid, they furnish the strongest argument
for increasing such aid.
3
9. The suggestions for having recourse to legislation for the suppres-
sion of Inoculation, and for making Vaccination compulsory within the limits
of the Town and Island of Bombay, have been and are engaging the attention
of Government.
10. His Excellency in Council has much pleasure in expressing his
approval of the manner in which Dr. Pinkerton and the Officers under him
have conducted their several duties. The Department is necessarily dependent
on the co-operation of the Officers employed in the general administration of
the country, and Government have learnt with satisfaction the marked assist-
ance rendered by Colonel Schneider at Sawunt Warree, and Mr. Dhunjeebhoy
Cowasjee, the Deputy Collector of Sattara. The recent death of Doctor
Ffolliott, who had shown himself a most zealous Officer, is to be greatly
lamented.
