6. The decrease in vaccinations of children under one year of age is
noticed by Government with regret, the percentage being 34.5 as against 36.3
last year.
7. The circles in which there has been the largest increase of operations
are the Central, Southern and Káthiáwád, while there has been a considerable
decrease in the Northern and Sindh Circles. In the Northern, the decrease is
explained by reduction of establishment, and in Sindh, the Superintendent,
Dr. Keith, says it is partly accounted for by the numerous transfers neces-
sitated by the re-organisation, and partly by the almost total absence of
small-pox during the year.
8. The increase of 24,180 in the number of Municipal vaccinations and
of 16,730 in vaccinations in Native States is very satisfactory. In the City of
Bombay the increase in the number vaccinated by the Municipal establishment
was 3,711. Government trust that the district officers will continue to impress
upon Municipalities the benefits derived from successful vaccination. In
Káthiáwád much credit appears due to Dr. Blanc for the change of system so
successfully carried out. Government concur, however, with Dr. Turnbull
that the control of operations in the Province should still rest with the Super-
intendent-General, and the personal allowance of Rs. 50 per mensem to the
Superintendent of the Circle should not have been made without the sanction
of Government. A report should be submitted whether the Superintendent
still receives the allowance.
9. The introduction of vaccine operations into the territory of the Khán
of Janjirá is viewed by His Excellency in Council with much satisfaction.
10. The Dispensary returns at first sight show a falling off, but in reality
there was an increase of 4,095 in the number of vaccinations. The Deputy
Inspectors-General of Hospitals when on tour should invariably report any
instance of neglect which they may notice on the part of Dispensary officers in
this important part of their duties.
11. The Sanitary Commissioner will be requested to supply the Superin-
tendent-General with monthly returns of the deaths from small-pox in each
mortuary circle.
12. In regard to village vaccination registers the attention of the Com-
missioner in Sindh and the Revenue Commissioners will be drawn to paragraphs
41 to 45 of the report, and they will be requested to state whether they con-
sider there is any objection to the general adoption of the forms.
13. Government fully concur in the remarks of the Inspector-General,
Indian Medical Department, as to the importance of the Superintendents of
Circles acquiring a knowledge of the language of the district in which they are
3
employed, and desire that their attention may be drawn to the orders published
in the Government Gazette of January 28th, 1869, under which rewards are
granted to medical officers in civil employ for passing in the vernaculars.
14. The results obtained from the lymph received from England will be
brought to the notice of the Home authorities. His Excellency in Council
requests that the Superintendent-General will give his particular attention to
the observations in paragraphs 18 to 21 of Dr. Wright's letter relative to the
protective power of animal lymph, and submit a special report on this import-
ant question.
15. His Excellency in Council concurs with Dr. Wright that the work
of the year appears generally creditable to the Department, and the acknow-
ledgments of Government are due to Dr. Turnbull for the zeal and success
with which he has discharged his duties.

Reports.

GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 13th January 1873.
Letter from the Inspector-General, Indian Medical Department, No. 4234,
dated 11th December 1872.— Submitting, with his remarks, the report
on vaccination in the Bombay Presidency and Sindh for the year
1871-72.
RESOLUTION.—The number of vaccinations during the year was 5,49,118,
of which 5,40,717 were in civil life and 8,401 in the army, giving a total increase
of 22,417 over the previous year.
2. Of vaccinations in civil life 5,21,521 were primary and 19,196 re-
vaccinations, showing a decrease of 10,923 under the latter head. The number
of males vaccinated was 2,76,950 and the number of females 2,44,571, or 53.9
and 46.1 per cent., respectively.
3. The re-organisation of the establishment during the year having given
an increase of 21 Assistant Superintendents and 19 Vaccinators, greater results
might perhaps have been expected, but it is explained by Dr. Turnbull that
many of the new hands were wholly inexperienced and employed only for a
month or two, and that none of them were engaged prior to the 1st September.
Government trust that next year's report will show the full benefits of the
change of system which has been effected.
4. The total number of Vaccinators employed was 370. Of these 3 were
paid from Imperial Funds, 197 from Local Funds, 51 by Municipalities, and
119 by Native States. The total cost of the Department was Rs. 1,84,459, or
Rs. 14,408 more than in the previous year, and the proportion in which the
charges were defrayed was as follows :—

5. The average cost of each successful operation was annas 6-1, or one

vaccinations was 95.4 against 96.2 last year.

Thus the returns of the past year show an increase of 39,239 persons over
the preceding year. The increase is distributed as follows:—

5. Before pointing out the probable causes of this increase, it may be
well to show the strength of the Vaccine Esta-
blishment in the past, and as compared with
the preceding year. The following table shows this as existing on the 31st
of March of each year, and, as will be seen, there has not been much change.
The vaccinators have been increased by three, and one was transferred from
the Imperial to the Local Funds Establishment in the Upper Sindh Frontier;
this latter, being a mere transfer, did not affect the total number of vaccina-
tors. Of the three added, two were appointed to the Upper Sindh Frontier
District and one to the Kánadá Zilhá, and are paid from the Local Funds:—

Causes of Increase.
6. That a very small portion of the increased number of persons vac-
cinated is due to the vaccinators added to the
establishment will be apparent when I state
that, of the total increase, only 1,729 persons were vaccinated by these men.
The increase is, I think, due to the following causes. I give them in the order
of importance :—
(a) To the vaccinators appointed on the reorganization, in the preced-
ing year, having been employed throughout the year under report.
(b) To closer, more active, and more frequent supervision of the work of
the vaccinators; the Superintendent having now an Assistant in each zilhá.
(c) To increase in the number of vaccinators.
