ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 589/XVI—231B-11-3 OF 1903.
FROM
S. H. BUTLER, ESQ., C.I.E.,
OFFG. SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES,
To
THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER,
UNITED PROVINCES.
DATED NAINI TAL, THE 21ST AUGUST 1903.
SIR,
ANITATION DEPT.
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your notes on
vaccination in the United Provinces for the year 1902-1903.
2. Such orders as were required have already been issued by you,
and there is nothing in the report which calls for comment or criticism.
by the Local Government. In certain districts and municipalities the
prevalence of plague impeded vaccination, but for the provinces as a
whole there has again been a satisfactory increase in the number of
persons vaccinated and of successful primary vaccinations. This
improvement has been going on, with only local interruptions, for the
last ten years, and the result is very creditable to the department and
to the control that has been, and is, exercised over it.
3. The Lieutenant Governor trusts that the removal of the
assistant superintendent, Mirzapur, from his post will lead to better
work in that district. His Honour is glad to learn that the conduct of
the staff was, on the whole, satisfactory.
4. With your letter number 2490, dated 12th August 1903, you
have submitted a list of gentlemen who gave assistance in the cause of
vaccination. I am to request that the thanks of Government may be
conveyed to those gentlemen.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
S. H. BUTLER
Offg. Secretary.

The number of children under one year of age available for vaccination in
the municipalities of these Provinces and the number of successful operations per-
formed on them, are shown in Appendix B. It will be seen that in some muni-
cipalities the numbers of children successfully vaccinated during the year were in
excess of the numbers available. As explained in the previous report, this is due
to the fact that children born outside the municipal area were brought into it to be
vaccinated. It is also probably to some extent due to a faulty estimate of the
ages of the children by the vaccinators.

Conduct of officials.
13. The conduct of the officials was on the whole satisfactory, but vaccinators

ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.

FROM
S. H. BUTLER, ESQ., C.I.E.,
SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
UNITED PROVINCES,
To
THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER,
UNITED PROVINCES.
DATED NAINI TAL, THE 18TH AUGUST 1904.
SIR,
NITATION DEPT.
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your notes on
vaccination in the United Provinces for the year 1903-1904, and to
say that, in view of the prevalence of plague, with the consequent sus-
picion and distrust on the part of the people, the results of the year
must be regarded as satisfactory.
2. With your letter no. 3449, dated 1st August 1904, you have
submitted a list of gentlemen who gave assistance in the cause of
vaccination. I am to request that the thanks of Government may be
conveyed to those gentlemen.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
S. H. BUTLER,
Secretary.

Buffalo calf lymph was used only for vaccinating calves and for preserving
the strain in the hot weather—the vesicles on the cow calves frequently drying up
before the fourth day owing to heat during the period from May to September.
Throughout the year 1904-05 lymph was sold from the depôt to the value of
Rs. 105-11-10, which was credited to Government, but a considerable increase in the
sale is expected in future as it becomes more generally known that lymph is
obtainable in tubes on payment.
Now that the depôt at Patwa Dangar is in a position to meet the require-
ments of these Provinces, the depôts at Allahabad and Bahraich have been ordered
to be closed—that at Lucknow being retained for the present. When the vari-
ous appliances have been received at the Provincial depôt it is hoped to introduce
the newly perfected method of chloroforming the lymph by which means extrane-
ous organisms are rapidly killed off and the lymph can then be glycerinated and
issued at once.
Supply of lymph.
19. Lymph was supplied regularly and repeatedly from the depôt at Patwa
Dangar to all districts in the plains from 12th Sep-
tember 1904, and the vesicle was established in almost
all districts on due date. In the First Circle humanized lymph was also sent from
the hills. Lymph was supplied, as usual, to numerous military and other officers
and native states.
Conduct of officials.
20. The conduct of the officials was on the
whole satisfactory.
Conclusion.
21. In spite of the prevalence of plague vaccination has made steady pro-
gress in these Provinces. The opening of the Central
Bovine Lymph Depôt has been the feature of the
year, and when it has been thoroughly equipped the institution ought to be of
immense practical value and supply a want that has long been felt. Even now
lymph is being supplied from the depôt over a large part of Rájputána, to Central
India and to Nepál.
