The degree of protection afforded from small-pox by the District Staff
to infants under one year of age is, on an average, about 76 per cent., one year
and under six, about 18, and above six, about one per cent.

on their conduct and work, the vaccine operations will be more efficiently done
and in a large number, and the results better scrutinised than if they work in
batches. I hope next year if I (Lalla Bhugwan Das) remain in charge of
the district the vaccine operations will be done by zails, one after another,
by Vaccinators going in a body in a zail, and each having a certain number
of villages allotted to him in the zail for Vaccination with the Native Super-
visor keeping his head-quarters in the centre of the zail to keep them under
control and scrutinize the results and the returns will show the real success of
the operations."
Opinion of Sanitary Com¬
missioner.
22. It appears to me after perusal of Colonel Roe's Circular No. 11,
dated 9th September 1895, ordering Vaccinators to work
in bodies, that he did not mean all the Vaccinators to go to
one or two villages, but that all the Vaccinators should work in one or two zails
within a reasonable distance of each other so that the Native Supervisor could
inspect their work. This has not been understood by all Civil Surgeons.
Twenty-two Civil Surgeons are in favour of the Vaccinators working together
in bodies, five are against it, and two have not yet tried it. In my opinion work¬
ing together systematically in bodies is the best way, and I propose that the
work be carried out in this way for the future.
Vaccination diagram.
23. The usual prescribed vaccination diagram is attached to this report,
it shows clearly that in those districts, for instance Kangra,
Simla, Dera Ghazi Khan, Hoshiarpur, Sialkote, where
vaccination is fairly efficient and successfully performed, the mortality from
small-pox has been very small compared with those districts where such is not
the case.
Cooclusion.
24. In conclusion I would remark that though there is some increase in
the amount of primary vaccinations this year, still it is to
be hoped that there will be a greater increase next year and
that the number of re-vaccinations will be much increased. The importance of
re-vaccination is often forgotten. Primary vaccination protects infants and
young children but leaves the older generation unprotected or only partially
protected.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
C. J. BAMBER, LT.-COL., I.M.S.,
Offg. Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab.

APPENDIX E.
Annual Report by CAPTAIN E. WILKINSON, I. M. S., Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab,
for the year 1898-99.
1. HAVE the honor to submit the Annual Vaccination Report of the Deputy Sanitary
Commissioner, Punjab, for the year 1898-99. The vaccination returns for this year have
already been furnished you with my letter No. 247 of 15th April 1899.
2. In conformity with the established custom the returns furnished are for the
twelve months ending on 31st March, when the vaccination season ends in the plains.
3. During the month of April, however, I inspected the work done by the Vaccina-
tors in March, it will therefore be convenient if I refer to such work in this report. I shall
do so in such a manner as not to complicate the returns.
4. The office of Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab, was held from the com-
mencement of the year under report until 13th November by Captain C. H. James,
I.M.S., and from that date onwards by Captain E. Wilkinson, I.M.S. Captain James was
employed on plague duty until 7th September 1898, and Captain Wilkinson was similarly
employed when he took over the duties of Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, and continued
so until 15th January 1899. The latter officer was absent on fifteen days' privilege leave
from 24th January to 7th February 1899.
5. The work of the Vaccinators of the Special Staff for the year under report has
been fairly satisfactory, though the number of vaccinations performed is less than in the
previous year, and the percentage of successful vaccinations is not quite as high. It
should be remarked, however, that in 1897-98 the number of vaccination was larger than
in any previous year, and that in his report Captain James showed that there were reasons
for believing that the Vaccinators had exaggerated their returns.
The following table gives the number of vaccinations performed by the Special Staff
for the last ten years:—

It will be noticed that the number of primary vaccinations, 62,196, performed dur-
ing the year is less only than those of the previous two years. As already mentioned,
however, there is some doubt as to the accuracy of the figures for the year 1897-98, while,
as far as I have been able to judge from my inspections, the figures furnished by the
Vaccinators for primary vaccinations this year correspond fairly with the actual number
ofperations performed.

18 Some complaints were received during the past cold weather of irregularity in the
supply of vaseline vaccine paste. This irregularity in supply has been due to the opposition
of the owners of buffalo calves in and near Amritsar to allow them to be used as vac-
cinifers, and this in spite of the fact that in January last a fee of Re. 1 was sanctioned
for the use of every vaccinated calf from which lymph could be taken.
In many instances the owners of the calves have wilfully injured the vesicles
on their calves thus rendering them useless as vaccinifers. During the months of Febru-
ary and March no less than twelve calves were thus injured. I am inclined to believe
that there is a certain amount of malice connected with this attitude of the owners
of buffalo calves at Amritsar, but I hope to be able to make arrangements to overcome
this opposition next cold weather.
19. The cost of the animal lymph depôt for the year 1898-99 has amounted to.
Rs. 687-14-5. This includes the pay of the 3rd class Vaccinator in charge, and a special
allowance of Rs. 5 per mensem. It also includes a sum of Rs. 109-12-6, liability for which
was incurred in 1897-98. In accordance with the orders of His Honor the Lieutenant-
Governor the charge of four annas for ten grain tube formerly made was discontinued
from 7th March 1899. The amounts received for vaseline vaccine paste during the year
was Rs. 259-9-0. This has been duly credited to the income of the animal lymph depôt.

not so much resorted to in towns where the Act is not in force as it is in towns
where the Act is in force. It may, however, be said that the Municipal Com-
mittees of the larger towns in the Punjab are gradually realizing the desirability
of the provisions of Act XIII of 1880 (The Vaccination Act) being extended to
their Municipalities. In regard to the smaller towns a certain discretion has to
be exercised, as a suitable staff is not always at hand to ensure the provisions
of the Act (being carried out with sympathetic and appreciative regard to the
feelings of the people. It is not desirable that the Act should be administered
with severity.
ORDER.—Ordered that the above Remarks be published in the Punjab
Gazette and be communicated to the Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab, for informa-
tion and guidance ; also that they be forwarded with the Report as usual to the
Government of India in the Home Department.
