Other vaccinators were applied for at Kooshtea and Satkhirah, but owing
to men falling sick I was unable to send them. Kooshtea was, however,
undertaken by the men of the circle, and Satkhirah was vaccinated last season.
Some zemindars near Maharpore also wanted a vaccinator, but applied so late
that I was unable to comply with their request. At Serampore a man was sent
in October, but for the rest of the season the Civil Surgeon of that station
looked after the work, a man of the neighbourhood being appointed.
Quality and cost of
vaccination.
17. Character of the vaccination.—The vaccination has been of a high
character, the percentage of success continues very high, 99.58, the cost of each
successful case six annas and one pie; the increased cost being due to the fall-
ing off in numbers.
The whole of the operations have been carried on from arm to arm.
Conduct of estab-
lishment.
18. Behaviour of the establishment.—I beg again to notice most favorably
the behaviour of the establishment. The three Deputy Superintendents con-
tinue to work with energy and tact; to them it is chiefly due that the prejudices
of the people are slowly, but surely, overcome.
The head and ordinary vaccinators worked well when not absolutely pros-
trated by sickness, and deserve great praise for their continued exertion under
most depressing circumstances.
The office establishment have, on the whole, performed their duties satisfac-
torily.
Memorandum by G. SAUNDERS, ESQ., Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Presidency
Circle,—(No. 471, dated 28th April 1872.)
FORWARDED for the consideration of the Inspector-General of Hospitals.
The report itself is a very interesting one, and, notwithstanding that
the numbers vaccinated have been so much less than in previous years,
I think it is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that such exceptional
sickness has been taking place over the field of operations that (as Dr.
