the incumbent of the Civil Surgeoncy no tour was made in the district and the few
cases inspected were seen at the headquarters.
The total number of vaccination operations inspected by the assistant
superintendents of vaccination or other inspecting officers in 1911-12 was 556,920
—513,921 primary and 42,999 re-vaccinations—against 501,801 in the preceding
year, an increase of 55,119. The percentage of inspections to total number
vaccinated in 1911-12 was 37.20 for primary vaccination and 41.74 for re-vaccination
against 34.94 and 48.00 respectively in 1910-11. The percentage of cases found
successful to the total number inspected in 1911-12 was 97.00 for primary
vaccination and 66.80 for re-vaccination against 96.97 and 72.85 respectively in
1910-11. Out of 513,921 primary vaccinations inspected, the largest numbers were
seen in Gorakhpur (29,410), Basti (18,537), Ballia (17,791) and Jaunpur (16,199).
The districts showing a small number of inspections are Dehra Dun (3,334), Farru¬
khabad (5,119), Naini Tal (5,712), Sultanpur (6,224) and Jalaun (6,367). If how-
ever in place of a comparison of the total number of inspections the percentages of
inspections of primary cases by assistant superintendents of vaccination and other
inspecting officers in the various districts are contrasted, Pilibhit again stands first
with 74.10 followed by Almora with 73.96. Then in order come Hamirpur with
63.43, Dehra Dun with 60.69, Muttra with 60.32, Naini Tal with 57.73 and Ballia
with 56.95. The districts showing low percentages are Bareilly (18.81), Allahabad
(19.54), Gonda (23.29), Hardoi (23.43), Sultanpur (24.16) and Kheri (24.19). The
attention of the assistant superintendents of vaccination concerned has been
directed to the necessity of the increase of inspections during the ensuing year.
Among the districts showing a large number of inspections of re-vaccinations Garh¬
wal again stands first with 13,471 and is followed by Almora with 7,765, and Naini
Tal with 6,441. Very few re-vaccinations were inspected in Sultanpur, Partabgarh,
Jaunpur, Bareilly, Gonda, Cawnpore, Muttra, Mirzapur and Meerut. In Allah-
abad and Shahjahanpur no re-vaccinations were inspected. The assistant superin-
tendents of vaccination concerned have been warned.
Provincial bovine lymph depôt.
17. During the year under report 387 calves (264 cow and 123 buffalo)
were operated upon in the depôt at Patwa Dangar
(Naini Tal district) and 370 (252 cow and 118
buffalo) proved successful against 180 and 175 respectively in the preceding
year. The total quantity of crude lymph obtained in 1911-12 was 9,335.6
grammes against 5,983.9 grammes in the preceding year—the average yield
per cow-calf being 19.9 grammes and that per buffalo calf 36.6 grammes against
30.0 and 42.5 grammes respectively in 1910-11. The reasons for decrease in
the quantity of lymph obtained per calf are the same as given in the previous
report. The reduction was also due to the facts (a) that an order was issued for
a further limitation in the vaccination area of calves as from experience it was
found that vesicles high up on the loin gave inferior lymph and (b) that the
contractor supplied weak and emaciated calves which gave a low return of lymph
as compared to calves in fit condition. As no other calves were obtainable these
inferior animals had to be employed to maintain a constant supply of the vaccine.
From the crude lymph obtained in 1911-12, 50,910.8 grammes of glycerinated
lymph and 1,606.3 grammes of glycerine paste were prepared. There being
no demand for lanoline paste none was manufactured. The annual output of
lymph and extension of the areas where arm-to-arm vaccination has been replaced
by calf-lymph vaccination as well as the expenditure on, and income from, the
depôt are shown in the table below :—.
