10,982 in 1892-93, and the percentages of successful cases were 86.58, 91.59, and 81.72
respectively in those three years. Darrang, Cachar, Kámrúp, and Goálpára gave the
most satisfactory results in the past year, in the order given. A good part of the
increase (675) over the previous year in Cachar was due to 333 persons, of the classes
known as Cacharis, Nágas, Kukis, and Mikirs, having been vaccinated in the Gunjong
Dispensary, against 27 and 7 in the two previous seasons, when Mikirs only submitted
to vaccination. Mr. Baker, the subdivisional officer at Gunjong, hopes to succeed in
having at least 1,000 Nágas, &c., vaccinated in the ensuing season. Much credit is due
to third-grade Hospital Assistant Bishnu Charan Banerji for the above mentioned
successful results in the Gunjong; Dispensary.
