was found to be excellent in both districts, affording striking and gratifying results
in staying the progress of the epidemic in Manipur and the Nága Hills, and also at
least in stamping it out for the time by its protective power. I am sorry to say, however,
that just lately another epidemic has occurred at Manipur, which is being combated by
renewed vaccinations of the unprotected in that State.
The expenditure is carefully supervised by Dr. Campbell, whose management
has been in every way a great success in the past year, even more so than in the
previous year, considering the great increase in the number of tubes sent out, the
quality and success of the lymph, and the proportional moderate outlay incurred.
The further report on lanoline as a preservative of the quality of this lymph
cannot be furnished until October at soonest, owing to the great amount of work in the
past season, the success of glycerine lymph, and also to fresh lanoline having been
only lately received from England. Dr. Campbell has, however, already commenced
his experiments with it, and his report shall be submitted as soon as possible. Up to the
present, glycerine has proved most satisfactory in this respect, and this glycerine lymph
leaves nothing to be desired, so great has been its success generally, at least 90 per cent.
Dr. Campbell brings prominently to notice the good services of second-grade Hospital
Assistant Pratab Chandra Bose, in subordinate charge of the depôt. I cannot speak
too highly of Dr Campbell's own services, which have been of the highest value and
deserving the commendation of the Chief Commissioner.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
CHARLES P. COSTELLO, Surgeon-Colonel,
Administrative Medical Officer and Sanitary
Commissioner, Assam.

C. P. COSTELLO, Surgeon-Colonel,
2
letter No. 329, dated the 30th September 1891, reviewing the Vaccination Report of Assam
for the year 1890-91, reference was made to the falling off in the number of operations
performed in compulsory areas in the Sylhet district, and it was remarked that this falling
off was especially to be regretted in view of the fact that inoculation appears to be commonly
practised in that district. As regards this, it may be mentioned that Act IV (B.C.) of
1865 (an Act for the prohibition of the practice of inoculation) was extended in April
1892 to the towns of Sylhet, Karirnganj, Sunámganj, Habiganj, Maulvi Bázár, Hailákándi,
and Silchar in the Surina Valley. The working of the Act and its effect on vaccine opera-
tions will be noticed in the report for 1892-93. Besides the extension noted above, Act
V (B.C.) of 1880 was introduced into the stations of Silchar and Sibságar and the
Union of Golághát during the year under report, and it has been introduced also into
the Jorhat Union since the close of the year. In the Dhubri Municipality, although Act
XIII of 1880 (the Vaccination Act) was extended in February 1891, the rules under
the Act were introduced only in February 1892.
Working of the animal lymph
depôt at Shillong.
5. The Chief Commissioner is glad to notice that the success of the Shillong
lymph depôt is now assured, a result which is largely
due to the able management of the depôt by Surgeon-
Major R. N. Campbell.
By order of the Chief Commissioner of Assam,
F. C. DAUKES,
Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Assam.
