Diagram illustrating death-rate from Small¬
pox, and degree of protection afforded.
14. The following diagram illustrates the death-rate from Small-pox in each district side by side with the proportion of population protected against the
disease by vaccination during the past seven years:—
NOTE.—Thin lines indicate the death-rates from Small-pox.
Thick lines indicate the proportion of the population protected by vaccination.
( 13 )
It is very remarkable that in the district which is best protected, viz.,
Darjeeling, there were absolutely no deaths from small-pox during the year
under report, whilst the highest death-rates occurred in those districts which
show low ratios of protected population. The very high death-rate in
Calcutta, which it will be seen is not as well protected as most of the districts
of Bengal, occurred chiefly in connection with the late epidemic of small-pox
in that city. The high proportion of protected persons, as shown in the
diagram under the Chittagong district, is suspicious and hard to credit. I
believe that the figures supplied previous to the year 1892 (in which the re-
organisation of the Department took place) must have been inaccurate. The
figures which are now being supplied are fairly correct.
Comparative value of the three
methods of vaccination.
15. The following statement which appears for the first time and has been
prepared with considerable difficulty shows the com-
parative value of the three methods of vaccination
in vogue in the province, viz., (1) direct from the
calf, (2) with lanoline vaccine paste prepared at the Animal Vaccine Depôts at
Calcutta and Darjeeling, and (3) from the human subject by arm-to-arm trans-
fer. The figures cannot, however, be accepted as altogether trustworthy, as
licensed vaccinators have a tendency to give the percentage of successful cases
too high ; and as most of these operations are done by the arm-to-arm process,
the percentage under this head appears to be excessive. My own impression
is that lymph when properly procured by the arm-to-arm process and from
healthy children is of equal value to the lymph procured direct from calves.
Lymph diluted with lanoline requires to be more carefully manipulated than is
the case with pure lymph, and this difficulty was the cause of the low percentage
of successful operations by this method in the Monghyr, Bhagalpur, and Singh¬
bhum districts. In skilful hands well mixed lanoline lymph is as successful
as pure lymph :—

2. The statement given in page 9 of the Report shows how much animal lymph
vaccination has progressed since it was first introduced into this Province in 1885-86. The
total number of operations performed during the past year was 246,105, of which number
241,014 were done with buffalo lymph and 5,091 with calf lymph.
3. As the vaccinating season will soon begin, I take this opportunity of again inviting
your attention to this important subject and request you will use your most strenuous efforts
to extend the system of buffalo lymph vaccination, as far as practicable, in every part of your
district.
4. Should you experience any opposition, either active or passive, in this matter from
the members of the District Vaccination Staff or from any class of people in the district, I
beg that you will at once report the matter to me.
Circular No. 8, dated Lahore, the 14th October 1890.
From—SURGEON-MAJOR A. STEPHEN, M.A., M.B., Sanitary Commissioner, Punjab,
To—All Civil Sugeons, Punjab.
IN continuation of this office Circular No. 7, dated the 1st September 1890,I have the
honour to inform you that in its Review of the Punjab Vaccination Report for the year
1889-90, the Government of India has drawn particular notice to the great importance of
bringing the method of vaccinating with animal lymph into more general use. In Punjab
Government letter No. 902/S, dated 20th September 1890, forwarding the Government of India's
Review of the Report to this office, I have also been requested to urge Civil Surgeons to
encourage the cause of animal lymph.
2. I have therefore to request that you will direct the vaccinators of your district to
make use of buffalo lymph for vaccinating purposes as much as possible; and I shall feel
obliged if you will attach to each monthly vaccination return a note giving the number of
vaccinations performed with animal lymph during the month. In the event of the vaccina-
tion work of any particular town or village having been done with human lymph, you are
requested to state why animal lymph has not been made use of.
