to the effect that the supervisor should supply the lambardár of each village
with a list of persons vaccinated, so that inspecting officers may be able to
check the work done and ascertain the proportion inspected from time to time.
His Honor is gratified to observe the growing attention which is being paid
to inspection work.
7. The special staff of vaccinators in the Eastern Circle performed 52,036
operations in Native States. The number of cases exceeded 3,000 in each of
the States of Mandi, Biláspur, Bághal, Keonthal, Bashahr, Suket, and
Nálagarh. It is satisfactory to observe that opposition was nowhere met with
in any of the 33 States in which vaccinators were employed, except in Bashahr
and Dujána. In Bashahr the Rája rendered all the assistance which could
reasonably be expected of him. Sir Charles Aitchison notices with satisfac-
tion that the objections felt by the Nawáb of Dujána to vaccine operations in
his territory have now been removed. The special staff of the Western Circle
did good work in the Ráwalpindi, Jhelum, and Hazára Districts, and,
except in parts of the Gujarkhan tahsíl bordering on Pindigheb and on
the Jhelum District, little or no difficulty was experienced in carrying on the
work. The number vaccinated by this staff was 13,228.
8. The Lieutenant-Governor regrets to learn that vaccination continues
to remain in a very unsatisfactory state in the cantonments of the Province.
In only two cantonments, out of thirteen situated within the Eastern Circle,
is there a vaccinator employed, namely, in Umballa and Subáthu. In Umballa
Surgeon-Major O'Connell, A.M.D., has shown great interest in the work.
The neglect of vaccination operations in the Jullundur Cantonment has
formed the subject of separate correspondence. The rules laid down by the
Government of India on the general question of vaccination in cantonments are
sufficient if acted up to. Heretofore they have not been sufficiently regarded ;
but attention has been called to them during the past summer, and the Sanitary
Commissioner has taken measures to ensure their observance in future.
9. Seven thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven persons were vaccinated
in the several dispensaries of the Province.
10. In conclusion, the Hon'ble the Lieutenant-Governor desires to
acknowledge the services of the Sanitary Commissioner and of the Deputy
Sanitary Commissioners, as well as of the native gentlemen mentioned in
paragraph 19 of the Report.
ORDER.—Ordered that the above remarks be printed and circulated
for general information. Also that the Review be published in the Punjab
Government Gazette.
By order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant-Governor,
C. L. TUPPER,
Offg. Secretary to Government, Punjab.

VACCINATION IN NATIVE STATES.
Native States of Patiála,
Baháwalpur, Jínd, Nábha,
Kapurlhala, Farídkot and
Máler Kotla.
14. I have received no reports from the Punjab Government up to date
of the vaccination work performed during the year in the
marginally noted Native States, except that of Máler Kotla.
These States, in accordance with Punjab Government
No. 715, dated the 4th October 1882, have to make their
own arrangements for carrying out vaccination. The number of vaccinations
performed in the Máler Kotla State from 1st October 1883 to March 1884 was
4,805, of which 4,560 are shown as successful, 127 unsuccessful, and 180 as
doubtful. Dr. Doyle reports that in Baháwalpur 6 vaccinators are entertained
by the State. There is no native supervisor.
In April 1884 I was informed by telegram from the Punjab Government
of the outbreak of small-pox in this State, and was directed to make arrange-
ments for stamping out the disease. I accordingly placed a native supervisor
and 4 vaccinators of the Mooltan district staff, and 2 vaccinators of the special
staff of the Western Circle, at the disposal of the State authorities to assist in
checking the spread of the disease. The Rája of Bashahr has lately made an
application, through the Deputy Commissioner of Simla, for the services of 23
vaccinators to carry on vaccination in his State. The necessary enquiries on this
subject are being made by the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Eastern Circle.
The vaccination work performed in the minor Native States are conducted by
the vaccinators of the special staff, and the total vaccinations performed in them
have already been given in paragraph 10.

Places notorious for their
opposition to vaccination.
16. In reviewing the work of vaccination performed during the year
by all establishments, I have reason on the whole to be
satisfied with the results exhibited. Opposition is day by
day diminishing, except in a few districts and localities
like Delhi, Lahore city, and Dera Ismail Khan. In Delhi city the Civil
Surgeon, Dr. Ross, this year took great interest in the work. The opposi-
( 10 )
tion is so great that vaccination is done altogether, Dr. O'Neill reports, “from
glasses, and the vesicles in consequence are small and feeble." As in Delhi, so
in Lahore and in Dera Ismail Khan, the people are much opposed to the arm-to-
arm system of vaccinating. It is hard to know what is to be done with the
people of these localities. The district authorities repeatedly speak to the
members of the Municipal Committees and urge them to help the vaccinators,
but the results are far from satisfactory.
Compulsory vaccination.
17. The District, Civil and Medical authorities recommend that vaccina¬
tion should be made compulsory in the following towns :Delhi,
Amritsar, Simla, Lahore, Dera Ismail Khan, Ludhiána and
Kohát; and I strongly support their recommendations. The Act will in a
very short time be introduced in the city of Amritsar, and, as soon as
the bye-laws are approved of, I would suggest that copies be forwarded to all
District Officers for report as to what extent they could be introduced in their
respective districts.
Services of Deputy Sani-
tary Commissioners and
Civil Surgeons.
18. In conclusion, I have to remark on the satisfactory manner in which
Drs. O'Neill and Doyle, Deputy Sanitary Commissioners,
and all the Civil Surgeons under me have worked during
the year under review, notably Dr. Gray (Lahore), Dr.
Bennett (Mooltan), Dr. Ross (Delhi), Dr. Taaffe (Karnál), Dr. Quinnell
(Gujránwála), Dr. Dennys (Kángra).
Services of Native gentle¬
men and others.
19. The following list shows the names of native
gentlemen and others who have helped in promoting the
cause of vaccination.

Manner in which vacci-

carried out in each district.
20. The manner in which the work of vaccination
was carried out in the several districts of the Province
during the year, epitomised from the annual reports of
the Civil Surgeons, is herewith annexed.
( 25 )
Civil Surgeon's system and arrangements have been very thorough, and he arranged in
concert with myself that as far as possible children taken for supply of lymph should not be
taken out of their own villages, which was a great cause of objection and unpopularity before.
The Municipal Committee of Jagraon have applied to have the Act introduced, and I hope
soon to submit like applications from all the towns of the district."

vaccinated in the previous year. There were 1,339 primary cases returned as
successful, against 644 in the previous year, and the percentage of success 80.08
as compared with 94.15, being a decrease of 14.07. The number of re-vaccinations
was 836 against 228 of previous year. The number successfully vaccinated per
mille of population was 39.26 against 17.67 in the preceding year; increase
11.59. The aggregate cost amounted to Rs. 180 as compared with Rs. 183, a
decrease of Rs. 3, and each successful case cost Re. 0-1-8, decrease Re. 0-2-2.
No primary vaccinations were inspected by the Civil Surgeon (Dr. B.
Franklin) during the year.
There is only one 1st-class vaccinator employed in this district under the
orders of the Civil Surgeon, and his duties are confined to the station of Simla.
In February 1883, however, he visited Dhámi and Patiála, and performed 95
vaccine operations there.

In the early part of the year 1883 the vaccination staff was employed
in the Dehra tahsíl, but in June they went to the Hamirpur tahsíl. From
this place the vaccinators had to be sent here and there to vaccinate in the
villages where small-pox was reported to have appeared. They eventually
returned to the Dehra tahsíl to finish off the work which had to be stopped
owing to the heat in the lower parts of it in the beginning of the hot weather.
In January 1884 the vaccinators worked in the Dehra tahsíl, and at the end of
the month, the work of this tahsíl having been finished, the Civil Surgeon,
Dr. Dennys, sent three vaccinators to commence operations in the Núrpur
tahsíl, and the fourth to the thána of Plách in the Kulu direction where
small-pox was reported to have broken out.
During the months of February and March the distribution of the
vaccinators remained as above.
The Núrpur tahsíl work has now been almost completed, and the Civil
Surgeon intends sending 3 vaccinators into Kulu to commence operations there,
no vaccination having been performed in Kulu since April 1882.
