I then proceeded through the talookas of Ankola and Sinnur to Nassick,
examining the old work of General Nos. 207 and 288, and the recent work and
lymph of the Head Vaccinator (General No. 13). The work of these men was care-
fully performed. At Nassick I saw the work of the late and present Municipal
Vaccinators. I then passed on through the talookas of Dindooree, Niphar, Chandore,
Baglan, and Malligaum, to Dhoolia. At Dindooree the work and lymph of General
No. 223 was examined. The cicatrices were generally small, but very distinct. His
lymph was renewed with two tubes from England, which proved successful. In
Niphar and Chandore I examined the work and lymph of General No. 53,which were
satisfactory in every instance. Vaccination has been firmly established in these
districts, and the old prejudices have fallen before its onward progress. In Baglan
I inspected the work and lymph of General No. 50 ; he is one of my most careful
Vaccinators ; and I had every reason to be well satisfied with his work. Not so with
that of General No. 60, whose work was next examined, in the Malligaum Talooka;
his lymph was bad, and his method of operating awkward, to say the least. Having
re-taught him, I renewed his lymph, and before leaving satisfied myself that he would
in future perform his work more efficiently.
Leaving Dhoolia on the 29 th December, I travelled towards Pimpulnair, where
I examined the work and lymph of General No. 211. His lymph was unsatisfactory,
and I renewed it with some tubes from the Superintendent of Vaccination in Sind,
which produced very good vesicles. Passing on through Nizampoor Petta, a place
where little or no vaccination had ever been performed, I entered the Nandoorbar
Talooka, where I examined the work and lymph of General No. 225. Vaccination
has only been going on here for about a year, but the people are quite alive to its
benefits. Leaving Nandoorbar I travelled eastward, through Virdul, to Seerpoor,
where I examined the work and lymph of General No. 214. From Dr. Turnbull's
remarks upon the work of this Vaccinator I expected to find matters in a very
unsatisfactory condition, but during the last two years he has improved: his work
was well performed, and his lymph was good. I then passed on to the Amulnair
Talooka, where I examined the work and lymph of General No. 272 : both were satis-
factory. Travelling eastwards I passed through the talookas of Errundole, Pachora,
and Nusseerabad. Here I inspected the work and lymph of General No. 258, with
which I was well pleased. Thence through Bhosawul to Sowda, where I examined
the work and lymph of General No. 140. Having been lately transferred he had only
succeeded in establishing good lymph in one village. I vaccinated here with lymph
received from England and Bombay. With the inspection of this man's work terminated
my duties in Khandeish.
On the 12th March I travelled by rail from Bhosawul to Munmar. Thence,
proceeding towards Ahmednuggur, I passed through the talookas of Sawergaon and
Kopurgaon, where I examined the work and lymph of General Nos. 288 and 289.
The lymph of the former being inactive, was renewed. Very little vaccination has
been done in these talookas for some time, and it was with the greatest difficulty I
