C
No. 85, dated 18th October 1900.
From—Veterinary Major W. R. HAGGER , Assistant to Inspector General, Civil
Veterinary Department,
To—The Inspector General, Civil Veterinary Department.
WITH reference to correspondence ending with this office letter No. 84,
dated 10th instant, I have the honor to submit the following report of my in-
vestigation into the result of rinderpest preventive inoculation, performed by
my Assistant Sarwandas, in the Jullunder and Hoshiarpur districts in July
last.
2. At Jubbowal, in the first mentioned district, where 93 inoculations were
performed, only 13 men, owning in all 58 cattle, could be found to give inform-
ation, the others being away on business, but the men who were examined,
stated that the results in other owners' cattle were similar to those observed
in their own herds.
3. Of the 15 animals accounted for it was ascertained that:—
on the 3rd day after inoculation, one was attacked, which died;
on the 4th day after inoculation, three were attacked of which one
died;
on. the 5th day after inoculation, four were attacked, all of which
recovered;
on the 6th day after inoculation, three were attacked, all died;
on the 7th day after inoculation, two were attacked, of which one
died;
on the 8th day after inoculation, one was attacked, and recovered;
on the 9th day after inoculation, one was attacked and died.
4. At Janori, District Hoshiarpur, where 103 cattle were inoculated
results in 41 animals were obtained, according to which:—
on the 3rd day after inoculation, three were attacked, all recovered;
on the 4th day after inoculation, one was attacked, and died;
on the 12th day after inoculation, five were attacked, of which four
died and one recovered.
Between 5th and 12th days after inoculation, seven were attacked of
which four died and three recovered.
Between 12th and 20th days after inoculation, nine were attacked of which
four died and five recovered.
On the 21st day after inoculation, two were attacked, both died.
Between 12th and 23rd days after inoculation, 14 were attacked, of which
seven died and seven recovered.
5. The owners' names, the number of cattle belonging to each, and the
number attacked before and after inoculation, are shown in the annexed tabu-
lated forms.
6. From this it will be seen that of 56 for which owners could account, 12
are said to have been attacked with rinderpest before the 5th day, and six
between the 6th and 8th days, and 38 after the 8th day.
7. The herd of Alladya is interesting. His homestead is situated in the
Siwaliks, about 1¼ miles from Janori, and his cattle numbering 20 were more
or less isolated, and remained free from disease until the 3rd day after inocula-
tion, after which we find that 19 were attacked and 12 died.

No. 651 OF 1873-74.
FROM
CAPTAIN G. H. TREVOR,
Second Assistant Resident,
Hyderabad,
To
THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts.
DATED HYDERABAD RESIDENCY, the 3rd June 1873.
SIR,
THE Resident in thanking you for your Report on Vaccination in
Berar during the year 1872-73, which he has perused with much interest,
does not think it necessary to enter into any detailed remarks on the results
exhibited. He highly appreciates your endeavours to show honest work,
though they rather detract from the credit brought by the figures of previous
years. It is annoying that Vaccinators will ' cook' returns, but it is satis-
factory to detect and punish such conduct.
2. The main points of the Report may be thus stated :—
The number of vaccine operations performed rose from 28,966 in 1871-72
to 33,734 in 1872-73: not quite 20 per cent. of this number refer to chil-
dren of tender years; 17 per cent. to babies under one year of age. The
ratio of successful to unsuccessful operations has declined from 85.9 to 82.6 ;
but after your discoveries of deluding figures, this decrease must be regard-
ed as more nominal than real.
The best results, relatively to the population of each district, were at-
tained in Bassim and Woon; the poorest in Akolah and Oomrawuttee.
This is not what might have been expected, and Mr. Saunders will direct
the attention of the Commissioners and District Officers to the fact.
It is true that Hindoos and Mahomedans have been shown to be more
backward in coming forward to be vaccinated than those who belong to
' other castes', or, in other words, that those who cannot construe the differ-
ence between advice and an order from Government officials, and whose
prejudices against vaccination are probably not so strong as those of Berar
Hindoos in general, yield themselves up, with their children, more readily
than others to the lancet of the Government Vaccinator. If the reason
why Akolah and Oomrawuttee are behindhand can be traced to this cir-
cumstance it is worth looking into. The: e are the districts where intelli-
( 2 )
gence, wealth, and Bombay Brahmins, have chiefly accumulated, and it will
be almost a reproach to the Educational Department if they continue to
occupy the last place in future Vaccination Reports. The school-master
. ought to be able to help the vaccinator.
3. The cost of vaccine operations, it is observed, rose from Rupees
10,973-15-9 in 1871 to Rupees 14,881-14 in the year under report. The
increase of Rupees 3,907-14-3 is attributed to more Superintendents on
higher pay and more vaccinators having been employed. The average
cost of each successful vaccine operation was 7, against 6 annas in the pre-
vious year.
4. Mr. Saunders notes with satisfaction and will ask the Commission-
ers to convey his thanks to the patels named by you as having been con-
spicuous for the aid they have rendered in promoting vaccination. He will
also recognize in the way you suggest the services of Ajaj Hoosein, 1st class
Vaccinator, viz., by conferring on him a grant of Rupees 30. The eleven
Tehsildars whom you mark as deserving of special notice will, it is to be hoped,
arouse the emulation of those in whose tehsils the tale of vaccinations is
insufficient. It is to be regretted that there has been a falling off, as com-
pared with 1871-72, in the tehsils of Ballapoor, Khamgaon, Moortizapoor,
Julgaon. The same may be said of Mulkapoor, Akote and Oomrawuttee,
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
G. H. TREVOR,
Second Assistant Resident.
( 3 )
circle 730 children were vaccinated, of these the Medical Officer verified 207 suc-
cessful and 41 unsuccessful cases. And in the Ellichpur circle 480, of which the
Civil Surgeon writes:—" The only cases I have verified have been some of those
" vaccinated in Ellichpur. No record is kept of their number. I have seen none
" of the district cases."
The above, when compared with the supervision exercised in the previous year
by the Civil Surgeons over the work of the vaccinators attached to the head-quarters'
circles, shows that some improvement has been effected, but I cannot help thinking
that the vaccinators attached to the larger head-quarters' circles might do more
work, and the whole of that performed by them might easily be verified by the
Civil Surgeons.

compared with previous year.
14. The total number of children vaccinated, ex-
clusive of 1,147 re-vaccinations, is 43,006, as against
34,105 in the previous year. The results in the two years are:—

15. Of the 33,734 successful cases, 10,985
have been verified. I hope a greater proportion will
be next year. This year 4 of the Superintendents sre new to the work, and two
have been ill for a portion of the year; besides these men experience great difficul-
ties in getting the children together to examine, as during a great part of the season
the inhabitants—being mostly agriculturists—are in their fields at work, and their
children generally accompany them.

REMARKS.
In 1872-73,36 vaccin-
ators worked the whole
season and 15 for 5
months only, whereas

Districts in which most work was done.
18. In the first 3 named districts the vaccina-
tors had as it were virgin soil to work on, as in the
previous year vaccination was not general in these districts, and the success in Bas-
sim and Woon, as compared with other districts, is most marked, and must reflect
credit on the district officials for the support they gave the vaccinators.
Proportion of operations among males
and females compared.
19. When compared with the previous year,
there is an increase in the ratio of operations per-
formed on females, and in both years the proportion of males operated on exceeds
that of females. The total number of persons vaccinated of each sex is :—

22. The number of Christians is so few that it
may be excluded from any comparisons made. The
remarks made in para. 26 of last year's report in regard to the paucity of opera-
tions among Mahomedans and Hindoos with " other castes" apply to this year also,
though to a somewhat minor extent. From what I wrote last year, which is borne
out by the figures of this year also, it may be inferred that any increase in the
proportion of operations performed on Mahomedans and Hindoos, as compared with
" other castes," may be looked upon as an index by which to judge the increasing
popularity of the department among the inhabitants.

Statement No. II.
24. This Statement—No. II.—shows the total
number of vaccinations performed in each month of
the year, and the percentage of successful cases. The few cases which appear
opposite to the month of April were performed in the Akolah and Buldanah dis-
tricts by two vaccinators who stayed out longer than they had any right to.

Work in abeyance for 6 months, rea-
sons for its non-continuance throughout
the year.
26. Work is in abeyance from April to Octo-
ber, and I do not consider it desirable just now,
whatever may be advisable afterwards, to carry on
vaccination throughout the whole year. The chief grounds on which I base this
opinion are, I do not believe that in Berar vaccination could, with any degree of
success, be carried on all the year round, except by from arm to arm vaccination,
and this in the wilder tracts is at present impracticable. Even in the more civilized
places it could not be attempted without a very great deal of trouble and inter-
ference. Secondly, the people here have a great objection to re-vaccination in
cases in which the first operation was doubtful or failed, and cases of this descrip-
tion would be more common in the hot and damp months, if we used lymph kept
in tubes or on points, than in the cold season. People who have willingly brought
forward their children for vaccination have positively refused to have them re-
vaccinated, pretending to believe that they have so much faith in us that the mere
entrance of our lancet under the skin is sufficient to ward off small-pox. The facts
being, they are against us, and if afterwards those children who have been unsuc-
cessfully vaccinated get small-pox, they are brought forward and shown to us as a
proof of the uselessness of vaccination. During last season numerous cases of
children who had been vaccinated, and afterwards took small-pox, were shown to
me, but in all, except one case, there was no scar to show that the operation had
been successful, and in this one there were two scars, not typical, but raised scars,
and the vaccinator informed me that the vesicles when formed were remarkably
fine, and that he took from both a large quantity of lymph—one should have been
left intact—and that afterwards the arm got rubbed and was very sore. The case
was, however, one of " modified small-pox" there being only a few vesicles on the
trunk and extremities when I saw it.
My object explained and illucidated.
27. It is my object to get good honest work,
and with this object in view I have explained and
written a good deal during the year, and I think with some good effect. The fol-
lowing figures give a fair idea of the quantity of the work performed:—
