No. 2409, dated 2nd May 1911.
From—Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. B. ROBINSON, I.M.S., Residency Surgeon and
Chief Medical Officer in Rajputana,
To—The First Assistant to the Agent to the Governor General in Rajputana.
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on Sanitation, Dispen-

official year 1910-1911.

REPORT
ON

RAJPUTANA FOR 1910
AND ON
VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1910-1911.
SECTION I.—SANITATION AND VACCINATION.
METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report 17.19 inches of rain were registered in Ajmer
against 30.47 inches in 1909, a rainfall of
3.53 inches less than the average of previous
six years.
Rainfall in Native States.
2. In most of the Native States of Rajputana the rainfall was less than the
previous year. The outturn of the khariff
crop was above the average and that of
the rabi crop is expected to be fairly good. Grass is abundant in all these States.
VITAL STATISTICS, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmere-Merwara.
3. According to the birth-return there were 20,355 births registered in Ajmer¬
Merwara in 1910 against 18,021 in 1909,
an increase of 2,334 which may be attributed
to the return to normal condition after the malarial prevalence and the plague
epidemic which declined in April 1910. Of the total births registered 10,802 were
males and 9,553 females, the birth-rate was 42.68 per mille of population against
37.78 per mille in the previous year. The percentage of male to female births was
113.07 against 116.52 in 1909. The birth rate exceeded the death-rate in 9 out of
23 circles of registration against 10 in the previous year.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
4. There were 23,882 deaths registered in Ajmer-Merwara in 1910 against
24,292 in 1909, a decrease of 410. The death-rate per mille of population was 50.08
against 50.94 in the previous year. The Civil
Surgeon, Ajmer, reports that although there
was a large mortality from plague, deaths from other causes diminished, after
April 1910 a return to more normal conditions became established.
5. The mortality among children under 5 years of age was 33 per cent. of the
total deaths against 30 per cent. in the previous year. Between the ages of 50 and
upwards the percentage was 16, a decrease of 3 per cent. as compared with that
in 1909.
6. The mortality from small-pox was 78 as compared with 16 in the previous
year, an increase of 62, of these, 65 deaths were reported in the Ajmer District
and 13 in Merwara.
7. The deaths exceeded births in 14 circles.

to the increased expenditure on establishment and contingencies. The average
cost of each successful vaccination in different States varied from 10 pies in Sirohi
to 147 pies in Jaisalmer which is due to the fact that there is only a small population
living in villages scattered over a large area.
40. During the year under report a revised scale of pay of vaccinators was
introduced in the Eastern Rajputana States according to which a vaccinator can
by degrees rise to R15 a month, the maximum pay previously being R12 per
mensem.

ber, 1910 " Pyrexia of uncertain origin" has been shown by itself in column 12 of the
revised forms C(1) and C(2) and that the heading "All other infective diseases"
has been removed from its present position in the forms and placed by itself as the

cular diseases," in the forms.
STATEMENT C (1).
57. Shows the diseases for which in-patients were treated in the hospitals and
dispensaries in Rajputana in 1910. There were 17,608 in-patients treated of whom

tire of it; severe epistaxis was reported in two cases. Chalmogra oil was taken
internally and locally applied to the sores. B. I. Nastin was used chiefly through-
out the treatment.
62. " At Alwar four cases were regularly treated and all are reported to show
decided improvement, the treatment was being continued, the injections were
given once weekly."
" On C. C. B. O. Nastin for three weeks, then B. I. for three weeks and

o apparent re-action either local or general was noted. No other
treatment was combined with the injections. Except patients are under control in
an institution or belong to the better class the full results of the Nastin treatments
are difficult to gauge, certainly all patients expressed a marked feeling of well being
during the course, acid fast bacilli could still be found in the ulcerations up to the
submission of the report."
63. All Medical Officers serving in Rajputana have been asked to try the
treatment and report the results.
RELAPSING FEVER.
64. There was a mild outbreak of this disease in the jail, regiments and in the
City of Alwar. The Agency Surgeon, Alwar, reports that " the disease was of a
severe type and was easily diagnosed by the recognition of the spirochocts in the
blood. It is of interest to note that the occurrence of the disease coincided with
the outbreak of an epidemic of bugs but the careful examination of many of these
insects failed to reveal the parasite in their intestine.

and Lauder Brunton's lancets fitted with Permanganate of Potash have been
largely indented for.
