The Basim, Akola and Buldana Superintendents ought to have been able to
visit a larger percentage of the villages in their districts in which vaccination
work was carried on. Their attention will be called to this point.
The next table shows the inspection work performed by Civil Surgeons in
charge of head-quarter stations:—

Compared with the previous year there has been an increase of 39 in the
number of villages visited, and of 560 in the number of cases verified in head-
quarter circles.
The Civil Surgeons of Akola and Amraoti were not given circles to supervise
on account of their jail duties, neither was the Civil Surgeon of Ellichpur, who
holds the civil surgeoncy as a collateral charge in addition to his military duties.
Statement No. II.—Cost of the De-
partment.
12. Annual Statement No. II. shows the cost
of the special vaccination staff during the year.
The total expenditure incurred aggregated Rs. 16,880-13-7, as compared
with Rs. 16,466-6-6 in the previous year, and the average cost of each successful
case was Rs. 0-3-0, as against Rs. 0-3-6 in 1883-84.
The cost per successful case ranged from Rs. 0-2-4 in the Amraoti District
to Rs. 0-3-3 in Ellichpur.
Dispensary vaccination.
13. Annual Statement No. III. shows the
vaccination performed at dispensaries during the
year.
The total number vaccinated by hospital assistants was 7,617, as compared
with 7,024, which gives an increase of 593 over last year's work.
In the Basim District there was a decrease of 375 operations, and 49 in the
Ellichpur District.
The falling-off in the Basim District was chiefly at the civil hospital, owing
to the work of the town having been carried on by the Municipal vaccinator.
The Civil Surgeon reports that the hospital work fully occupies the time of the
hospital assistant, who operated upon ten cases only during the year.
The following table compares with last year the dispensary vaccination
work performed in each district:—

REPORT
ON
VACCINATION
IN THE
HYDERABAD ASSIGNED DISTRICTS,
FOR THE
OFFICIAL YEAR 1885-86.
BY
SURGEON-MAJOR CHARLES LITTLE, M. D.
Hyderabad :
PRINTED AT THE RESIDENCY GOVERNMENT PRESS.
1886.
No. 3310 OF 1886.
FROM
LESLIE S. SAUNDERS, ESQUIRE, C. S.,
Commissioner,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts,
To
THE SECRETARY FOR BERAR TO THE RESIDENT,
Hyderabad.
DATED AMRAOTI, 2nd July 1886.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Vaccination Report for the year 1885-86,
which reached me on the 28th ultimo.
2. The total number of operations amounted in the year under notice to
97,654, against 101,134 in 1884-85. Of these, 91,004 were performed by the
special establishment and 6,560 by the medical subordinates attached to the
dispensaries. But although there was thus a falling-off in the number of operations,
it is satisfactory to find that the proportion of infants protected by this means to
the total number successfully vaccinated was 78.0 per cent., against 72.9 in
1884-85. The percentage of success in the operations by the special estab-
lishment was 95.6 in primary cases and 26.3 in re-vaccinations, while in
dispensary vaccinations the ratio of success was 91.4 in primary cases and 76.6
per cent. in re-vaccinations. The average number of persons vaccinated by each
vaccinator was 2,175, the greatest number by any one vaccinator being 2,834.
3. Of the total number of operations, 63.7 per cent. were verified by the
Native Superintendents in 3,619 villages, against 56.2 per cent. in 3,437 villages
in 1884-85. It is observed that there has been a falling-off in the inspection
work of Civil Surgeons, especially in the Wun District.
4. The total expenditure incurred on account of vaccination rose from
Rs. 16,880 to Rs. 17,027, and the average cost of each successful case rose from
Annas 3 to Annas 3-1.
5. As stated in previous reports, there is but little opposition met in carry-
ing on vaccination in Berar. The Sanitary Commissioner brought to notice that,
in a case of refusal of a certain individual to have his child vaccinated, a Deputy
Commissioner passed an order that a man cannot be forced to have his child
vaccinated. It is no doubt true that vaccination is not legally compulsory in
Berar, but at the same time Government has directed that district officers and all
civil officials should exert their personal influence in aiding the cause of vaccina-
tion. The attention of all Deputy Commissioners has been drawn to Section V.
of the Vaccination Rules published in Resident's Book Circular No. XI. of 1879,
and they have been informed that in cases of difficulty and obstruction to vacci-
nation, they are not called on to publicly promulgate the fact that a man cannot
legally be obliged to have his children vaccinated, but that they should rather
endeavour, by a little judicious pressure, to remove all such difficulties when
brought to their notice.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
LESLIE S. SAUNDERS,
Commissioner,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts.

FROM
SURGEON-MAJOR C. LITTLE, M. D.,
Superintendent of Vaccination,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts,
To
L. S. SAUNDERS, ESQ., C. S.,
Commissioner,
Hyderabad Assigned Districts.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Vaccination Returns of the Hyder-
abad Assigned Districts for the year 1885-86, together with a brief report on
the working of the department.
Establishment.
2. There was no change in the special vaccination staff during the
year, which was kept up to the full sanctioned
strength.
The Basim Municipality dispensed with the services of the vaccinator
employed by that body owing to the man's inefficiency, and as the work of the
Basim town was not sufficient for one man, it was undertaken by the special
vaccination department.
The conduct of the vaccinators was, on the whole, satisfactory; and consider-
ing the difficulties they often meet with, there is little or no friction between
these men and the villagers, which speaks creditably for the morale of the
department.
Seventeen punishments were inflicted during the year. One vaccinator
was reduced for bad work and sixteen were fined, one for disobedience to the
orders of his Superintendent, one for allowing his lymph to deteriorate, and the
remainder for slow progress.
Lymph.
3. Both humanized and animal lymph were kept up throughout the year;
but at the commencement of the cold weather
some tubes of animal lymph were obtained from
Bombay. This lymph was propagated successfully at Amraoti, and supplies
sent out to each district, animal vaccination being kept up at head-quarters till
each Superintendent reported that he had established a good working supply in
his district. In some districts a continuous supply of animal lymph has been
kept up throughout the year; but as there is often difficulty in getting a conti-
nuous supply of calves this is not insisted on, since animal lymph can generally
be obtained from the Superintendent of Vaccination, Presidency Circle, Bombay,
free of cost.
Season's work.
4. In the year under report the aggregate number of operations performed
by all establishments, special vaccination establish-
ment, and dispensaries, was 97,654, as compared
with 101,134 in the previous year, being a decrease of 3,480. The total number
of successful primary operations was 93,027, as against 95,805, and the ratio of
success 95.4, compared with 94.9 in 1884-85.
The falling-off in the numbers vaccinated is attributable to 23 vaccinators
having been employed on cholera duty for varying periods up to three months.
