Remarks.
As a test experiment two of these calves were
subsequently operated upon with humanized
lymph of another stock, but with no result.
Calf IV was sent to Sanitary Commissioner
and calf V to the Amrapur Circle Vaccinator,
who was directed to propagate this lymph only
in his circle. Two calves in the Amrapur Cir-
cle successfully vaccinated with this lymph
were subsequently re-vaccinated with human-
ized lymph of another stock with no result.
Thirteen children were vaccinated with these
points.
Superintendent, Basim District, was ordered to
let existing lymph die out in the Basim Cir-
cle and propagate this lymph to the exclusion
of al1 other.

Remarks.
Genuine vaccine scars. From the three successful cases the five failures were
successfully re-operated upon on 28th.
From these cases lymph was propagated in the town of Buldana and employed in the
vaccination of 52 persons—48 primary and 4 re-vaccinations. 4 failed in pri-
mary and 2 in re-vaccination. As a test experiment six of these children suc-
cessfully vaccinated were subsequently re-vaccinated with humanized lymph of
another stock with no results.
Seen on 7th day. Genuine vaccine vesicles. No eruptions.
The percentage of success obtained was primary vaccination 98*8, re-vaccination
37.9.
From the lymph stock raised in the Amrapur Circle from calf No. V, as many as 1,208 persons were vaccinated, all primary operations, with a result of 97.3 of success.
As a test experiment 8 of these children were subsequently re-vaccinated with other vaccine lymph, but with no results. This experiment goes to show that the small-pox
of man conveyed to the cow produces cow-pox, and cow-pox thus induced transferred to man produces genuine vaccinia. In fact they are one and the same disease, but the
small-pox virus is so modified by passing through the cow as to deprive it of its virulence and power of propagating itself by contagion or infection.
( 12 )
RETRO- VACCINATION.
On October 6th a female white calf, No. 24, one-and-half year old, was vaccinated in 8
places with lymph taken direct from the arm of a child (Nursia Pochia, vaccinated direct from
calf 14, Statement I,) selected with typical vesicles. Result—all 8 vesicles successful; very
good.
From lymph so obtained a female white calf (No. 27), one year old, was vaccinated in 50
places on 11th October. Result—all 50 vesicles successful ; very good.
Thirty-eight children were also vaccinated direct from the calf. Result—
24 successful; very good.
10 unknown.
4 unsuccessful.
From lymph of calf No. 27 a female white calf, No. 30, one year old, was vaccinated in 30-
places on 17th October. Result—20 vesicles successful; very good. Ten vesicles failed,
probably due to lymph 7 days old being used.
Seven children also were vaccinated direct from the cow. Six cases were primary, and one
case re-vaccination. Result—all proved successful; very good.
Experiment closed.
Lancet was the instrument used.
Grass and water were given to the calves as diet.
Calf lymph 120 to 132 hours old from hour of vaccination is the best to use. Older
lymph either proves unsuccessful or, if successful, the vesicles are weak.
ANIMAL VACCINATION.
From the first supply of animal lymph received from Bombay a female white calf was
vaccinated on the 18th August. Result—unsuccessful.
A female brown calf was also vaccinated on the 19th. Result—successful; indifferent.
From lymph of calf No. 2 vaccinated a female red calf, No. 5, on 24th August. Result
—indifferent.
From lymph of calf No. 5 vaccinated a female black calf, No. 6, on 29th August.
Result—moderate.
Also vaccinated 19 children with lymph on points ; 5 were vaccinated with lymph one
day old. Result—one successful; very good. Seven were vaccinated with lymph on points
2 days old. Result—2 successful; very good. Seven were vacinated with lymph 3 days old.
Result—4 successful; very good.
From lymph of calf No. 6 vaccinated calf No. 7, female, black, on 3rd September.
Result—successful; good.
From calf No. 7 vaccinated calf No. 8, female, red, on 9th September. Result—successful;
good.
From calf No. 8 vaccinated calf No. 10, female, brown, on 15th September. Result—
successful; very good.
From calf No. 10 vaccinated calf No. 12, female, red, on 20th September. Result-
successful ; good. Also sent 6 tubes to Ellichpur. Result—failed.
Six tubes to Wun. Result—1 scar successful.
Five tubes four days old were used to vaccinate 5 children in Amraoti Town. Result—suc-
cessful 1 scar.
Vaccinated 24 children direct from calf. Result—23 proved successful.
From lymph of calf No. 12 vaccinated calf No. 14, female, brown, and calf No. 15,
female, red, on 25th September. Result—No. 14 successful, very good, No. 15 successful
very good.

Extract from the Proceedings of the Resident at Hyderabad, No. 2527-M.,
dated Hyderabad Residency, 6th August 1889.
Read—
Report upon Vaccination in the Hyderabad Assigned Districts for the year 1888-89.
RESOLUTION.
The total number of operations performed during the year under review was
105,602 as compared with 97,158 in the previous year. The increase of 8,444 is
attributed to the greater attention given to the subject in all the districts except
Basim, also to the increased number of births and to the prevalence of small-pox,
which induced the people to accept vaccination more readily.
In primary vaccinations 88,833 proved successful, this proportion being
practically the same as in the previous year.
There were 3,960 persons re-vaccinated, against 335 in 1887-88. Of these
operations, 1,533 were successful, or 38.7 per cent., against 45.4 in the preceding
year.
The operations were distributed as follows :—

The proportion of population protected was 36.9 per cent. compared with
34.6 in the preceding year ; and the proportion of births (estimated at 40 per
mille of the population) successfully protected was 73.1 per cent.
Statement No. 4 shows that, compared with the previous eleven years, the
total number of persons vaccinated in the year under report was greater than in
7 of them, less than in 4 ; and that the number of successful cases has only been
exceeded twice.
2. Dr. Little has not noticed the Resident's suggestion, in paragraph 2 of
the Resolution dated 20th Augut last, as to the concentration of work on a
definite area.
The number of vaccinators employed in the valley districts was 42, the same
number as last year, and the average number of operations by each vaccinator
was 2,243 compared with 2,150.
Owing to the prevalence of small-pox, no vaccinators could be spared from
the special establishment for work in the Melghat, and, as the disease was re-
ported to be spreading there, sanction was given to the employment in that dis-
trict of two extra vaccinators as a temporary measure. Of these, one only was
employed, and the operations in Melghat, which were confined to six weeks of the
year, numbered only 358 against 2,318 in the previous year.
3. The total cost of the special establishment defrayed entirely from provin-
cial funds was Rs. 16,826-7-0, an increase of Rs. 56-3-10 over the previous year.
The Commissioner recommends that a contribution should be required from each.
municipality towards cost of vaccination within municipal limits.

11. The Resident has much pleasure in acknowledging the assistance
given to the Vaccination Department by the native gentlemen whose names are
mentioned in section 19 of Dr. Little's report, and the services of the officials
brought to notice in paragraph 21.
12. The record of the year's operations under Dr. Little's superintendence
shows that considerable progress has been effected, and is on the whole satis-
factory.
(By order.)
F. L. PETRE,
Secretary for Berar.
