Frontier Tribes. In the Wana Agency nothing has been known of the
Vaccinator since its evacuation, and hence no vaccination was performed
there throughout the remaining period of the season. The Mehtar of
Chitral continued to give his sympathetic support to the work.
Appendix to Statement No. I
—Vacination in Cantonments.
10. In the Cantonments of Chhangla Gali, Mardan, Bannu and Dera
Ismail Khan the services of the Vaccinators of
the district staff were utilised and the figures are
included in the district returns (Statement No. 1). The total number of
Vaccinations performed was 822 against 2,792 in the previous year. In
the cantonments of Peshawar and Nowshera, where Vaccination work is
done under the control of the Cantonment authorities; 4,263 Vaccinations
were performed as compared with 3,762 operations in the previous year,
representing an increase of 501.

Cost per successful case.
12. The cost per successful case was two annas and two pies, a
decrease of two pies per case compared with the
preceding year. The cause of this high cost is
mostly due to a certain amount of wastage of lymph which occurs owing
to some tubes having to be thrown away half used through lack of cases
at the particular time they are opened. If this could be avoided, the
cost per successful case would be much less than it has been in the past.
The total number of successful operations having been 127,606 out of
134,532.
Statement No. III—Dispensary
Vaccination.
13. Very rarely is Vaccination work done in the Medical Institu-
tions. This year none was done by the Medical
Staff.
Statement No. IV—Work done
during past 20 years.
14. From this statement it will be observed that there has been
an increase of 9,291 of successful operations as
compared with the last year's figures which im-
plies satisfactory progress. The work done since
the formation of the province having nearly doubled itself. There is,
however, room for greater improvement both in quantity and quality,
and I am hopeful, that better results will be achieved in the future.
Statement No. V—Inspections
made by Officers of the Depart¬
ment.
15. This statement shows the Inspection work done by Civil
Surgeons and the Vaccination staff. Including
