Season's work.
Out of 888 inhabited villages in this district, vaccine operations were carried on in
743, and a total of 13,356 children were vaccinated,
against 14,505 in the previous year, which shows a
falling-off in the number of operations by 1,149. The falling off is accounted for by
Superintendent as due to the failure of lymph in the early part of the season, and to
one of his vaccinators being a month on the sick list.
Of the total operations 84.4 per cent. proved successful, 10.5 unsuccessful, and 5.1
unknown, as compared with 89.2, 5.9, and 4.9, respectively, in 1879-80. The average
number vaccinated by each vaccinator was 1,336, against 1,813, and the ratio of success-
ful operations per thousand of population, 30.7 to 35.3 in the previous year.
The number of children under one year successfully vaccinated was 6,348, or 47.5
per cent. of total operations.
The percentage of the annual birth-rate, calculated at 40 per thousand of population
protected, was 43.7.
The season's expenditure on vaccination in this district was Rs. 2,805-5-0, and the
cost of each successful case Rs. 0-4-0, against Rs. 0-3-8 in 1879-80.
Inspection.
Of the total 888 villages in which vaccination was carried on, work was inspected
in 743, and 8,720 cases, verified, or 71.9 per cent. of
the total vaccinations in the district. The native
Superintendent visited 408 villages, inspected 7,517 cases, and travelled 1,437 miles, or
at the rate of 7.9 miles daily. The head vaccinator inspected work in 64 villages,
verified 1,203 cases, and travelled 150 miles.
The Superintendent General inspected the work of 6 out of the 8 circles in this
district. In the Nandura Circle the work inspected was indifferent, and in the Kingaon
and Lonar Circles a good deal of bad work was met with.
Attitude of the people.
No active opposition is experienced, but many of
the higher classes passively oppose it, particularly in
the larger towns.
Conduct of vaccinators.
The conduct of the staff was fairly good : one man
was reduced, and another dismissed for bad and careless
work.
3rd class native Superintendent Mr. Abdul Carim is intelligent and active, and
performs his vaccination duties fairly well; but he is much to blame for the bad work in
the Kingaon Raja and Lonar Circles, for he should have inspected the work in order to
judge of the quality of the lymph before December, in which month the Superintendent
General visited the circle.

C. LITTLE, M. D.,
Superintendent of Vaccination,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts.
DATED AKOLA,
The 10th August 1881.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Resident at Hyderabad, No. 2380, dated
Hyderabad Residency, the 31st October 1881.
READ—
The Report of the Inspector General of Vaccination of the Hyderabad Assigned Districts, for the year
1880-81.
RESOLUTION.
THE proposal made in para. 2 of the Report to employ vaccinators during ten,
instead of, as at present, only six months in the year should be submitted separately
for consideration; the practice of other provinces should be stated, and detailed
explanation should be given of the changes in the pay and position of vaccinators
which the adoption of the suggestion would involve.
The improvement which has recently taken place in the education and class
of men employed as vaccinators, is highly satisfactory.
2. The Officiating Resident concurs in the remarks made by the Com-
missioner on para. 3 of the Report. To inflict on all the village officials of a
district the inconvenience of a journey to the sadr, merely to hear that
vaccination operations are to be recommenced, and that they are expected to aid,
would not tend to render vaccination popular.
3. The remarks of Deputy Commissioners should be invited on the Superin-
tendent's comments on the want of zeal shown by municipal bodies in regard
to vaccination.
4. The tabular statements, given in para. 7 of the Report, show great
fluctuations, not only as between different districts, but also as between the years
compared. More explanation of the differences here noted might have been
afforded.
The percentage (86.7) of successful vaccinations to the total number
of operations is borne out by the result of dispensary vaccination, which may
presumably be taken as fairly accurate. It is, however, much lower than in the
Central Provinces, where the corresponding percentage was 96.55. But the
figures deduced from the inspections of Native Superintendents and Civil Sur-
geons in the Central Provinces were only 91.33 and 93.01 respectively.
5. The results shown in para. 9 of the Report are decidedly good,
6. The only general remark which the Officiating Resident thinks it
necessary to make is that it would be instructive if some of the more important
percentages, especially the percentage borne by the number vaccinated to the total
population, were worked out for circles, and if a rough map showing existing circles
were added to the Report. It is important that we should know whether the
same percentage obtains all over the province, or whether it varies in different
tracts. If, in addition to this, the Superintendent could estimate the proportion
of the entire population protected in each circle, the statistics of small-pox in circles
would acquire great interest.
7. The Report is a very good one, and has been adequately reviewed by
Colonel Bell; and the Officiating Resident notices with satisfaction that the
Inspector General is able to acknowledge assistance rendered to the Department
by many native gentlemen and officials during the year.

No. 4619 OF 1882.
Memo. by Commissioner, Hyderabad Assigned Districts, on Vaccination
Report for 1881-82.
THIS is a full, clear, and interesting Report, to which I have very little to add
by way of comment, as the facts could hardly be better stated. The main figures
are briefly as follow: —

The cost of these operations was Rs. 17,192-1-11, or 3 annas 5 pie for each
successful case, against Rs. 16,247-13-1, or 3 annas 9 pie per case in 1880-81.
Vaccination depends so much for its success on each operation being carefully
and thoroughly done, and this again depends so much on the supervision exer-
cised, that it is not satisfactory to find the falling off reported in para. 8. It may
be hoped that the Civil Surgeons of Amraoti and Akola will so arrange their jail
duties this year as to ensure the better supervision of their circles.
On the table in para. 4 it may be noted that there is large margin for error
in vaccination statistics, and a certain margin in the notorious inaccuracy of
the vital statistics in all provinces. The map referred to in para. 7 has not been
received with the draft report.
* Bengal Report 1881,page 60, para. 174.
3. The account in para. 11 of the difficulties experienced by the vaccinators
in the Melghat is notable as a sample of what may be expected in such wild
regions and of the way in which such difficulties should be overcome. I have
always been doubtful about the " downward filtration" of education, but there is
no such question in the matter of vaccination, and if the vaccinators could get the
co-operation of the patels and the leading men in each village, their work would
be easier. I infer from para. 12 that this practice is already to some extent adopted ;
but as there is a patel to each village, either the list might be longer or there
might be another list, actual or threatened, of the native gentlemen and patels who
would not assist. Possibly, too, the Sanitary Commissioner may not be aware that
the great success of the Kumaon operations, some five and twenty years ago,
among a people in some respects as wild as the Gonds and Kurkus of the Melghat,
was due to the operation being concentrated in a particular locality where
small-pox, though raging around, was absolutely stamped out. This of course was
evidence of success which convinced the most ignorant and incredulous, and if a
similar effort were made not only in a part of the Melghat, but in each district of
Berar, the result might be that instead of the difficulties reported in para. 3,
the people might come to be vaccinated, and even aid in the work. If the whole
population is ever to be adequately vaccinated, it can only be by securing some-
thing more than mere acquiescence on the part of the people. In some parts of
India* the people voluntarily apply for vaccina-
tion, and unpaid vaccinators make a good income
by private practice. This may come in time in Berar.

Vaccination Report, Hyderabad Assigned Districts, 1881-82.
System of pursuing vaccination and
raising lymph.
THE system of vaccination, as pursued in Berar, was described in last
year's Report, as also the attitude of the people
and the method of raising lymph.
The usual supply of animal lymph was received from Bombay in two
instalments, on the 5th and 9th of September, and animal vaccination started
at Akola.
Successful results were obtained with both supplies, and continuous
issues of lymph were sent out to each District Superintendent till, by the
end of the month, the work was well started in every district, and each Super-
intendent had raised a supply of animal lymph for himself.
The expenditure on account of animal vaccination for the season amount-
ed to Rs. 22-13-11. This was chiefly for the feeding of the calves and for
bandages to protect the vessicles.
No difficulty is found in obtaining calves. They suffer no harm from
the operation, and are returned to the owners after eight days.
It was not found necessary to indent for a supply of English lymph.
Establishment.
2. The establishment at the beginning of the season was brought up
to the sanctioned strength, and was two in
excess of last year as shown in the following

The total number vaccinated shows an increase of 10,019 over the
number for the previous year, while it is higher by 20,362 than in 1879-80.
These gradually increasing totals are pretty general in every district, but
in Amraoti and Buldana there has been a falling-off during the year under
report. In Amraoti the Superintendent was new to the work, it being the
first time he had officiated as Superintendent, which may account for the
decrease in the numbers vaccinated. In the Buldana District a vaccinator
absconded in the middle of the season, and there was no one available to fill
up the vacancy.
The average number of operations performed by each vaccinator was
1,670, as compared with 1,358 last year.
The following table shows by districts the average number of opera-
tions performed by each vaccinator compared with the previous year: —

From the above it may be seen that, with the exception of Amraoti, the
increase in the average work performed by each man has been general in
every district, and has, on the whole, been satisfactory. The increase in the
Basim District from 1,169 to 1,963 is very creditable to the Superintendent
and his vaccinators.
The next table exhibits the rates of success obtained in primary and
re-vaccination in each district. The figures for the province for the previous
year are shown at the foot of the table for the sake of comparison :—

It will be seen from the above that there was an increase under both
primary and re-vaccinations as compared with 1880-81.
( 5 )
100 persons vaccinated there were 50.9 males and 49.1 females as compared
with 50.2 and 49.8 respectively in the previous year.
The census tables of 1881 show the relative proportions of the sexes to
be 51.6 males and 48.4 females per cent. of total population, so that relatively,
with reference to the population, more females were vaccinated than
males by .7 per cent. This may be explained by the fact that amongst the
people of India more value attaches to the life of a male than a female child,
and whilst the latter are brought forward more readily for vaccination, the
former are often kept back by their mothers, who are fearful lest the opera-
tion should do them any harm.
The following table shows all particulars regarding the sex of the
vaccinated:—
