The Statistical Returns of Vaccination in Bengal for the year 1896-97, with brief notes
by the Sanitary-Commissioner.
The Returns were due on the 15th June, but did not reach Government till
the 17th October. This delay was, however, unavoidable, as the Sanitary
Commissioner, Surgeon-Major H. J. Dyson, was deputed to Bombay, on special
duty, in connection with the Plague, just at the time when the materials for the
Returns had been collected and he was about to write his report.

REMARKS.
13
The special establishment employed in Calcutta, on the outbreak of small-
pox in 1895-96, was not required during the year under review, and consequently
the strength of the Calcutta staff was reduced by one Inspector and eight vaccin-
ators. The number of Inspectors in the Tributary States of Orissa was
reduced by three, and fewer vaccinators were employed in many districts,
where, in 1895-96, small-pox had prevailed in an epidemic form. The number
( 4 )
with the previous year. The increase in many districts is very considerable,
and taking these figures in conjuction with the increased demand during the
year for the lanoline vaccine paste manufactured at the Animal Vaccination
Depots, Dr. Dyson expresses his belief that the arm-to-arm method of vaccina-
tion in Bengal will soon be entirely superseded. He goes on to remark:—
" When I suggested vaccination direct from the calf in 1893, instead of the arm-to-arm
method, I was told that it was impossible in Bengal. I persevered, however, with the idea,
and the above figures show what has been done in the three years which have since elapsed.
I decline to believe that the system is impracticable in the districts which show no work in
this connection.
12. Supply of lanoline lympth to Nepal.—Although it was expected that,
in consequence of the arm-to-arm method of vaccination having been intro-
duced into Nepal, there would have been no demand there for lanoline vaccine
paste, it appears that 1,845 grains were supplied, on the request of the Nipal
Durbar, from the Animal Vaccination Depot at Darjeeling. It has been ascer-
tained that 516 out of 596 persons were successfully vaccinated with this
lymph, the result in 56 of the remaining cases being unknown.
13. Inspections.— The Deputy Sanitary Commissioners were employed
throughout the working season on plague duty, and consequently visited only
262 villages out of 242,311 in their jurisdiction and inspected 10,543 oper-
ations. The Civil Surgeons, on the other hand, showed greater activity in this
respect. The Civil Surgeon of Dacca, who stood second in 1895-96, now
heads the list with 13,626 inspections, and is followed by the Civil Surgeons of
Darbhanga and Backergunge with 13,581 and 13,228, respectively. Four Civil
Surgeons inspected more than 10,000 operations, 13 from 5,000 to 10,000, 28
from 1,000 to 5,000, and 3 less than 1,000.

The comparatively large decrease in the total cost was due to the abolition
of the paid vaccination system in Angul which resulted in a net saving of over
Rs. 6,500 in the pay of vaccinators, and to the fact that during the greater
part of the year there were no Deputy Sanitary Commissioners in the Metro-
politan and the Northern Bengal Circles, while there was an Assistant Surgeon
and Deputy Sanitary Commissioner in the Western Bengal Circle for nearly
eight months, which led to a saving of nearly Rs. 11,000 in their pay and over
Rs. 5,500 in travelling allowance.
The following statement shows the local contribution towards vaccination
during the year under report as contrasted with the previous year:—

popolation 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 population protected by vaccination.

variation in the amount of work performed by the Sub-Inspectors of the several
districts, ranging from 86,489 in Mymensingh to 3,705 in Angul, is evidently
due to the operation of one or more of the causes mentioned in last year's report.

I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
H. J. DYSON, F.R.C.S.,
