Districts in which the
increase was most mark-
ed.
11. The largest increase, it will be seen, took place in Siálkot which,
owing to a very considerable falling off of vaccination in
it last year, was the subject of unfavorable comments by
His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor. The increase in
the number of operations is shown to be no less than 14,540. The operations
of this year, viz., 46,818, are larger in number than those rendered in any one
year since the new scheme of district vaccination came into force in 1881.
Next to Siálkot come the districts of Kangra, Umballa and Gurdáspúr
with an increase of 8,088, 8,156 and 7,281 respectively. On reference to the com-
parative statement of work given in the last report, it will be seen that these
are, with one exception, the very districts which showed the largest amount of
decrease in the previous year: so that the loss is fully made up by the operations
of the present year. The great unhealthiness of the preceding year in many of the
districts and the unusual healthiness of the year under report, afford the true expla-
nation of the lesser and greater number of vaccinations performed respectively.
Much encouragement has been given in the Gurdáspúr district to persons who
helped the vaccinators in their work. "On my recommendation," says
the officiating Civil Surgeon, Assistant Surgeon Radha Kishen, "the District
Board of Gurdáspur granted pagris and certificates to the persons who rendered
cordial assistance in the cause of vaccination. This in a great measure encour-
aged the people to give assistance, who, otherwise probably would not have
taken any interest. The district authorities reprimanded those persons who
were reported to have either shown opposition to the practice or would not
help when they were in a position to do so.'' These measures may to some
extent account for the increase noticed in the returns for this district, though
the character of the season in respect to salubrity or otherwise is the principal
cause affecting the rise or fall in the number of persons vaccinated in each
season.
