that produced by inoculating with humanised lymph), but to supply the large number of tubes
mentioned, it was necessary to send out lymph of the fourth and occasionally of the fifth generation.
Besides this relative deficiency of humanised lymph, there was an actual deficiency as
compared with previous years, due to failure on the part of the vaccinators who should have supplied it
We rely for this lymph on the vaccinators in the Khási Hills, and it is very difficult to
procure good workers. Five vaccinators are employed—one each at Cherra, Mauphlang, and
Jowai, one for the Shillong Municipality, and one engaged only for the six months of the
working season. The man at Jowai worked very unsatisfactorily, and is being dismissed, and
the two last, in spite of warnings and fines, failed to supply humanised lymph, and were discharged,
their places being taken by men' who proved no better ; these were in their turn dismissed, and others
were tried, but also failed. I trust that, by having vaccinators, carefully selected in the slack season-,
ready, and by raising the pay of the municipal vaccinator to the rate drawn by the others, such failure
will be rendered impossible next working season.
I was not made aware that the lymph was failing generally in the province till the third week
in January, and at once took steps to remedy it. The efficacy of the lymph was soon restored, and it
continued satisfactory for the rest of the season, unfavourable reports being almost confined to
Nowgong, a fact which I am unable to explain, except on the ground of defects on the part of the
vaccinators.
