Cost of the Depart-
ment.
4. The total cost of the Vaccine Department during the year under report
amounted to Rs. 84,038, that for the preceding year being
Rs. 82,652. The cost per successful case was 0-2-4 against
0-2-5 in the previous year.
General results.
5. Taking the work performed by all the establishments together, the
total vaccinations in the Punjab during the year under report
were 612,466 against 583,498 in the previous year. There is
thus an increase of 28,968 vaccinations, which shows that the Department
worked satisfactorily during the year. The general results for the several estab-
lishments separately are given below for the years 1885-86 and 1884-85.

* In this statement the operations performed in 1884-85 by the two Cantonment Vaccinators of Siálkot
and Ráwalpindi are deducted from the district figures and added to those of Cantonments.
Of the grand total of 612,466 vaccinations performed by all establishments
332,835 were of male and 279,631 of female. The total successful primary vacci-
nations were 563,103. Of these 427,734 were children under one, and 131,978
between one and six years; the number over six years was only 3,391. The
percentage of successful primary operations was 94.74 against 94.76 in the pre-
vious year, and of re-vaccinations 48.00 against 41.43.
DISTRICT STAFF.
General
results—a
marked increase over
previous year.
6. The operations performed by the district establishments show the
very large increase of a little more than half a lac
over the previous year, the total number of vaccinations
being 550,806 in 1885-86 against 500,438 in 1884-85.
This increase is due to the healthiness of a very large number of districts
during the year, as compared with the one preceding it. Under the head
of primary vaccination, the increase is shown as 42,882, re-vaccination 7,486,
successful primary 41,045, and successful re-vaccinations 3,281. The percent-
ages of successful primary and re-vaccinations were 94.72 and 47.60 respec-
tively, against 94.64 and 51.82 in the previous year.
Operations performed
by each vaccinator.
7. The average number of persons operated on by each vaccinator was
2,211 against 1,970 in the previous year. The largest number
of operations by each vaccinator was performed in the
district of Gujránwála, viz., 4,500. In Kángra, Siálkot and Hazára the
number was also large, viz., 3,804, 3,601 and 3,178, respectively, In Gurgáon,

the larger Native Hill States are closed to them at this season of the year,
while the smaller States of Dojana, Pataudi, Loharu and Kalsia afford only
a comparatively limited field for their labors.
The following statement shows the total operations performed by the
Special Staff of the Eastern Circle in the several localities :—

It will be seen from the above statement that the Vaccinators were
for the most part of the vaccinating season engaged in the districts of Umballa
and Hoshiárpur and in the territory of the Raja of Chamba, where they
vaccinated 23,877 children out of the grand total of 35,282 vaccinations
for the whole circle. No work whatever appears to have been done in the
Native State of Sirmur, and but very little in that of Bashahr. In the pre-
ceding year the operations performed by the staff in these two States were
23,071 and 12,194 respectively. I regret that Dr. O'Neill's departure on
furlough in the beginning of April precluded him from sending a full report on
the vaccine operations performed in his circle during the current year, but
I have asked his successor, Dr. Doyle, for a full explanation as to the cause of
the falling off in these two States.
The Western Circle.
30. The Special Staff of the Western circle worked mostly in the Hazára
district. The number of vaccinations performed in each
district are shown in the following table:—

"The comparison of different years," says Dr. Doyle in his report, "is of
little value as these men work in different places from year to year. In the
Konch valley of Hazára vaccination had not been carried out before, excepting
in one village near Shinkian. Inoculation had been practised in the valley;
and small-pox was still present in consequence when the vaccinators began
work. There are no birth or death registers in Konch. As the Tahsildár,
Mohammed Azim, and Samand Khan of Garrhi Habib-ulla Khan, Jagirdar of
Konch, gave cordial assistance, the work was carried out without difficulty."

Services rendered by
Pundit Bál Kishen, De-
puty Superintendent of
Vaccination.
In concluding this section of the report I should make mention of the
valuable services rendered by Pundit Bál Kishen, late Deputy
Superintendent of Vaccination, in the Zenanas of the native
aristocracy and gentry, which he was allowed access by
reason of his professional attainments as a Hakim.
List of persons to bo
rewarded with recom-
mendatory purwánas.
A list of those native gentleman and others who rendered assistance in
the cause of vaccination during the year under review has
been prepared in this office, and the usual recommendatory
purwanas will be forwarded to each one of them in due course.

10. The failure of the Municipal Committees of the towns noted in the
margin to give assistance in the spread of vacci-
nation is not creditable to them. District Officers
should use all their influence to induce the Com-
mittees to evince an active interest in this work.
11. The decrease in the number of vacci-
nations performed by the Special Staff is unsatis-
factory. It may, however, be accounted for in the way pointed out by the
Sanitary Commissioner, and was therefore to some extent unavoidable.
12. The spread of vaccination in Native States is observed with satis-
faction and credit is due to Dr. Bennett, the Medical Officer to His Highness
the Mahárája of Patiála, for the energy and success with which he has carried
on operations in that State.
13. The Vaccination Act (XIII of 1880) having been brought into
force at Amritsar, a set of rules framed by the Municipal Committee under
Section 19 for the regulation of vaccine operations in the city have been con-
firmed by the Lieutenant-Governor and published in the Punjab Gazette for
the information of all concerned prior to their enforcement.
14. With reference to paragraph 7 of the Review on the Vaccination
Report for the year 1885-86, it has been found necessary to abolish the system
of local vaccinators in the Dera Ismail Khan District, and to re-introduce the
scheme of vaccination by the District Staff. Arrangements are being made
accordingly.
OREDER.—Ordered that the above remarks be communicated to the
Sanitary Commissioner of the Punjab for information.
Ordered also that the Review be printed and circulated with the
Report as usual.
Also that it be printed in the Punjab Government Gazette, and that
copies, with the usual number of copies of the Report, be forwarded to the
Government of India in the Home Department.
By order of the Hon'ble the Lieutenant-Governor,
W. M. YOUNG,
Secretary to Government, Punjab.

SECTION VII.—VACCINATION.
Changes in the superior
establishment.
1. On the 1st of April 1886 the Eastern and Western Circles of vaccina-
tion were abolished, and Surgeon J. O'Neill was appointed
Deputy Sanitary Commissioner of the Punjab. He went
on furlough on the same date, and Surgeon B. Doyle was appointed to officiate for
him. At the same time the appointment of Deputy Superintendent of Vaccina-
tion was abolished, and the special staff was put directly under the supervision
of the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner. Doctor Doyle was transferred to the
Military Department on the 1st of November, owing to the paucity of Medical
Officers, but was re-appointed Officiating Deputy Sanitary Commissioner on the
28th of February 1887. During Doctor Doyle's absence on Military duty,
Pandit Bálkishen, the late Deputy Superintendent of Vaccination, was appointed
temporarily to the Vaccination Department, on a salary of Rs. 250 a month.
Changes in the rest of the establishment.

2. The strength of the Vaccination
Establishment for 1885-86 and 1886-87
is given in the margin. The statement-
shows that there was an increase of one
native supervisor and ten 3rd class vacci¬
nators during the year under review.
In October 1886, an additional
native supervisor was sanctioned for
the special staff.
A 1st class vaccinator is entered in the cantonment of Siálkot, in the
returns for 1886-87, he was omitted by oversight from the returns for 1885-86 ;
and, in the cantonment of Meean Meer, the vaccinator, who was returned last
year as a 1st class vaccinator, is shown this year as a 3rd class vaccinator.
In the Special Staff there was, on an average, one 3rd class vaccinator
fewer than last year, and in the cantonment staff there was one more than last
year—a 3rd class vaccinator as above stated, was returned for the cantonment
of Meean Meer, he having been shown as a 1st class vaccinator last year.
In the District Staff there was an increase of ten 3rd class vaccinators, viz.,
two in Delhi, two in Lahore, three in Gujránwála, one in Pesháwar and two in
Dera Ismail Khan.
The cost of the three
different staffs in 1885-86
and 1886-87.
3. The cost of the District, Special and Cantonment
establishments in 1885-86 and 1886-87 is contrasted in

The increase of Rs. 543 in the District Staff is due partly to the employ-
ment of more vaccinators during the year, and partly to increased expenditure
under travelling allowances and contingencies.
The decrease of Rs. 14,825 in the Special Staff is due to the abolition of
the appointments of Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Western Circle, and of
Deputy Superintendent of Vaccination, and also to the absence of the Officiating
Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, on Military duty, for four months of the year.
