Third Range the number and the proportion of successful primary operations to

9. A diagram is attached showing the relation between the death-rate from
small-pox and the proportion of the population

Dispensary vaccination.
(Statement III.)
10. The number of vaccinations performed by medical subordinates at
dispensaries during the year under report was 933—
334 primary and 599 re-vaccination—against 384 in

Vaccination in municipali-
ties.
11. The total number of persons vaccinated in the municipal areas of these
provinces in 1912-13 was 122,488 (106,635 primarily

in 1911-12—an increase of 6,940. The total number of
vaccination operations performed in 1912-13 was 124,613 (108,744 primary and 15,869
re-vaccination) against 117,664 in 1911-12. The difference of 2,125 between the
number of persons vaccinated and the number of vaccinations performed in 1912-13
represents secondary vaccinations. The number of successful primary operations
in 1912-13 was 101,375 with a percentage success of 94.80 and that of successful
re-vaccinations was 6,877 with a percentage success of 47.79 against 98,112, 95.35,
7,142 and 59.38 respectively in 1911-12. The number of persons successfully vacci-
nated per mille of population in the year under report was 36.59 against 35.58 in
the preceding year. Of the best protected municipalities Azamgarh stands first
with 85.38 and is followed by Jaunpur with 80.87, Kalpi (Jalaun) with 70.97,
Mau (Jhansi) with 66.68 and Koil (Aligarh) with 57.15. Of the municipalities
showing the least protection, the most conspicuous are Nawabganj (Bara Banki)
with 16.85, Brindaban (Muttra) with 20.44 and Farrukhabad-cum-Fatehgarh
with 23.00. Of these, Nawabganj and Farrukhabad-cum-Fatehgarh show an
improvement over the preceding year. In Nawabganj the municipal vaccinator
was recommended by the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, who inspected his work,
for dismissal on account of being constantly intoxicated and doing little work. The
municipal board have retained his services and I am in correspondence with them
on the subject. In Brindaban the vaccinator has been fined.

the municipalities in 1912-13 are shown in Appendix B and numbered 83,031
against 80,455 in the preceding year.

employment of one of the Deputy Sanitary Commissioners from the 7th October to
