The special staff during the year confined its operations, with a trifling
exception, to the Native States, in which 52,036 operations were perform-
ed. The number of persons vaccinated in each State is given in the
margin.
Opposition
was
no
where met with, except in the
States of Bashahr and Dujána. The
Rája of Bashahr, as Dr. O'Neill
reports, when small-pox appears in
his State, urgently asks for vaccina-
tors, and generally grants them
travelling allowance for the jour-
ney they make to his State ; but it
is with difficulty he can be induced
to bring any pressure to bear on
his subjects to accept vaccination.
The Nawáb of Dujána is of quite
a different temperament. He hear-
tily dislikes the vaccinators and all
their works, and is at no pains to
conceal his feelings. Last year
there was great difficulty met with
in vaccinating his State, and this year the opposition was renewed and maintained
till the Commissioner of the Hissar Division wrote to the Nawáb, His letter must
have put the advantages of vaccination in such a light as to have brought convic-
tion to the mind of His Highness, "for," observes Dr. O'Neill, " all opposition was
at once removed, and the work went on very well." The Commissioner, Hissar
Division, however, informed the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner that he had
heard of complaints regarding the conduct of the vaccinators from the people of
the Dujána State; but the complaints were of an indefinite nature, and no specific
charge could be brought against any vaccinator in particular. " I doubt not,"
says Dr. O'Neill, " the men were too ready to assert themselves, and it is possible
they under-rated the value of suavity of manner, and thought any deficiency in
this respect might be compensated for by firmness of will." It must be remem-
bered, however, that that was the first time vaccination was performed in the
State, and the natives were to a certain extent hostile.
Detail of work performed
by the special staff of the
Western Circle.
11. The special staff of vaccinators attached to the Western Circle
worked in the Hazára and Murree hills during the summer.
In October they commenced work in the Gujar Khan tahsíl,
and Dr. Doyle, the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, remarks
that " excepting parts of the tahsíl that border on Pindigheb and on the Jhelum.
district there was little difficulty in carrying on the work." 3,455 vaccinations
were performed by the special staff in this tahsíl. From Gujar Khan some of
the men proceeded to Hazára, while three of them went to work in Pind Dádan
Khan. The following table gives the localities traversed and the operations
performed by the vaccinators during the year :—
