TRANSLATION.
To THE LEARNED IN VARIOUS SHASTRAS, MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE OF PUNDITS, NADIA.
1. If a Hindu takes cow-lymph from the body of a cow suffering from cow-pox for
the purpose of vaccinating human beings, does he thereby incur any sin?
2. If a Hindu vaccinator vaccinates a Hindu child with cow-lymph taken from the
body of a cow suffering from cow-pox, is the religion of the vaccinator or of the person vacci-
nated affected in any way?
3. If with a view to protect cows from cow-pox, a Hindu vaccinates a cow in the
manner in which human beings are vaccinated, does he thereby commit any offence against
the Shastras?

Answers of the Pandits.
1. If a Brahman or other vaccinator following the religion of the Vedas causes a wound
in the body of a cow, suffering from cow-pox in taking cow-lymph thereform for the good of
human beings, the person who does so incurs no sin thereby. Such is the opinion of the
learned.
2. If human beings are vaccinated with the cow-lymph for the purpose of preventing
the dangerous disease of small-pox, neither the person who vaccinates nor the person vaccinat-
ed incurs any sin. Such is the opinion of the learned.
3. For the purpose of preventing cow-pox among cows, there is no objection to vacci-
nating cows in the manner in which human beings are vaccinated. Such is the opinion of
the learned.

TRIENNIAL REPORT
OF
VACCINATION IN BENGAL
FOR THE YEARS
1893-96.
Officer in charge of the Depart-
ment.
THIS report deals with the triennial period 1893—96. Surgeon-Lieutenant-
Colonel W. H. Gregg was in. charge of the depart-
ment from the 1st April to the 1st May 1893,
when he went on furlough for 6 months, and
Surgeon-Captain H. J. Dyson, from the Sanitary Department of the Punjab,
officiated for him. This officer was in charge of the department from the 2nd
May to the 1st November 1893. Dr. Gregg resumed charge on the
following day, and continued in charge until the 25th August 1895, when he
vacated the appointment of Sanitary Commissioner, Bengal, and Dr. Dyson
succeeded him. The latter was thus in charge of the Vaccination Depart-
ment during the first six and the last six months of the period under review,
and is the officer who submits this report.
Change in the administration of
vaccination.
2. The Sanitary Commissioner was assisted in the work of supervision
by three Deputy Sanitary Commissioners, among
whom there were so many changes of officers that
it interfered to a large extent with systematic
continuity of work. For instance, in 1893-94 there were no less than eleven
changes, in 1894-95 six changes, and in 1895-96 three changes. Among
Civil Surgeons also, who are the district supervising officers, there were frequent
changes of officers in many districts. No doubt this cannot be helped. I
simply mention it as having interfered with work and system.
Strength of staff.
3. The following statement shows the strength of the working staff
during the triennial period under review, as com-
pared with each of the three corresponding previous
years, with an explanation in the last column of increases and decreases:—

REMARKS.
14
Increase of 1 Inspector and 5 Vac-
cinators in 1895-96 due to employ-
ment of the same as a temporary
measure for 2 months, April and
May 1895, on account of small-pox
epidemic.
Decrease of 1 Inspector in 1895-96 due
to abolition of the post of the junior
Inspector attached to the depôt.
The designation of the Deputy
Superintendent was changed to
Inspector, hence the decrease in
the number of Inspectors in 1893-94.
There was no actual difference.

REMARKS.

Increase of 2 Inspectors due to
ditional Inspectors or Native
Superintendents in Orissa
butary States. Increase of 2 Staff
Inspectors due to entertainment
for the first time of 2 Sub-in¬
spectors in Angul. Decreased
head vaccinator in Orissa
butary States, and increase
8 paid vaccinators due to enter¬
tainment of larger number
vaccinators by District Boand
&c. Increase of 76 licensed va¬
cinators needs no explanation.
Increase of 1 Superintendent and
Inspector due to the creation
the District of Angul; that of
Sub-Inspectors due to 2 addition
ones in Midnapore, and 2 in the
Tributary States.
The additional Sub-Inspector is an
extra appointment in Hazarabad
and 2 head vaccinators in Ori sa
Tributary States.
Increase of 1 Sub-Inspector due to
appointment for the first time
one Sub-Inspector in the Sonth
Suburban town in the district off
Parganas. The decrease of 4
vaccinators needs no explanations
as the number is very small.
Increase of 2 Inspectors, 3 Sub
Inspectors, and decrease of 1 head
vaccinator and increase of 85 vacci¬
nators.
Number of operations performed
and average per man.
4. The following statement shows district by district, and in Calcutta, the
Animal Vaccination Depôt, and Municipalities
separately, the total number of vaccinators, the
total number of operations they performed, and the
average per man during each of the three years under review, the average of
the three years, and the average of the previous three years, for purposes of
comparison:—
( 5 )
In Pabna the large decrease of 6,666 is ascribed to greater unhealthiness
of the people—a vague and general remark, which cannot be accepted as a
satisfactory explanation.
The largest decrease of all occurs in Cuttack, where the average number of
operations during the three years under review is 16,222 less than in the
preceding triennial period. This is due to the strike among the vaccinators
in the last year of the triennial period 1890—93, and the subsequent difficulty
experienced in getting the men to work on account of the great difficulty they
experience in realizing their fees from the people. The number of vaccinators
fell from 100 in 1891-92 to 12 in 1892-93 ; and although it has come up to 42,
38 and 48 respectively in the three years under review, it will be seen that the
total number of operators in this district is still short; hence the decrease of
work.
The decrease of 1,816 in Balasore is due to the following cause: —
The average of 1890—93 includes the operations of 1890-91, when the work
was done by Government agency, which is always more active than the licensed
agency. In 1891-92, when the district was thrown open to the licensed system,
the number of operations at once fell from 53,357 in 1890-91 to 33,028 in
1891-92 and 22,137 in 1892-93. There has since been a gradual rise, viz.,
22,975, in 1893-94 to 43,432 in 1895-96, but the average of 1893—96 is still
behind that of 1890—93.
In Manbhum the decrease is due (1) to the scarcity which prevailed in that
district in 1893-94, (2) to less populous and more jungly tracts having been
taken up for vaccination that year, and (3) to the excessive prevalence of measles
in 1895-96.
The decrease in Singhbhum has not been explained by the local medical
officer, but it would appear from the figures furnished to be principally due to
fewer operators having being employed for reasons which the Civil Surgeon has
been asked to explain.
Primary operations.
5. Of the total number of operations shewn in
the statement in paragraph 4 above, the following
were primary vaccinations :—
( 9 )
It would be misleading to prepare a statement of this nature for the three
years together. I have therefore prepared it for the last year only of the
period under review, and added a column for purposes of comparison, showing
the proportion of persons successfully vaccinated in 1892—93 per 1,000 of the
surviving population under one year of age available for vaccination. It will
be seen that in nearly all the districts the protection afforded to infants
is now greater than it was three years ago. The exceptions are the dis-
tricts of Jalpaiguri, Purnea, Darbhanga, Bogra, Murshidabad, Pabna, Mid¬
napore, Hooghly, Gaya, Patna and Calcutta. The reason is not explained
by the local officers, and I have not as yet sufficient personal experience of
Bengal to make any positive assertion on the subject: but I should think that,
as the determination of the age of a child among an ignorant population (and
with, in this respect, careless vaccinators to deal with) is not very much to be
relied on, the above table is of doubtful accuracy, especially when such extreme
differences as between 712.49 per thousand in Malda and 26.52 per thousand
in Patna are recorded. On the whole, I am inclined to think the proportion
of infants protected is overstated in many of the districts. I have not unfre¬
quently seen the majority of the children of a village without a single child
amongst the vaccinated being under one year of age, and I know from personal
experience in the Punjab that the prejudice of the people of this country
against the vaccination of very young children is strong and difficult to combat.
Re-vaccinations.
7. The following are the figures of re-vaccination for the three years
under review, as compared with the previous triennial
period:—
B
( 11 )
It will be seen that in rural areas the percentage of successful cases rose
from an average of 52.81 in 1890—93 to 60.07 in 1893—96, or an increase of
7.26, and in municipalities from 38.70 in 1890—93 to 53.79 in 1893—96, or an
increase of 15.09. Unless these figures include repetition cases, as they ought
not to do, they seem to be rather high. Successful re-vaccination depends in a
great measure on the age of the subject—the younger, the less chance of success.
As the ages of the successfully re-vaccinated are not given, I am unable to draw
any conclusion as to the accuracy or otherwise of these figures. I wish to say
here in connection with revaccination that it is very desirable that the Govern-
ment and all local authorities should insist on every boy entering a school or
young man entering Government or other employ being either vaccinated or
revaccinated, as the case may be. Whatever the theory is, experience has
shown that practically vaccination need only be performed twice in a lifetime,
viz., during childhood and at puberty. In Prussia, in 1835, a regulation was
issued which stated that teachers, masters, and craftsmen, &c., would do well to
satisfy themselves that pupils, apprentices, &c., were vaccinated, while children
receiving scholarships and other benefices had to show proof of vaccination.
But there were no penalties for neglect of this precaution except in cases of
attack by small-pox, and then naturally the penalty was seldom inflicted. In
1870—73 a pandemic of small-pox swept over Germany, and in 1874 revac-
cination was made compulsory and the law was strictly enforced. The con-
sequence has been a most remarkable and sudden disappearance of small-pox
in Prussia. There is no reason why by similar methods this preventable disease
should not be eradicated from India.
Recess work.
8. The following table shows the number of operations performed during
the recess in connection with small-pox epidemics

and rainy months, when the regular work of the department is generally sus-
pended :—

The increase during the period under review, both in rural areas and towns,
is due to increased activity on the part of the staff in vaccinating whole com-
munities on the slightest outbreak of small-pox amongst them during the hot
weather and rains. Formerly the practice was to vaccinate only those residing
in the immediate vicinity of the attacked. The increase is also due to many
municipalities now vaccinating all the year round.

Diagrams illustrating death-rate from Small-
pox, and degree of population protected.
14. In accordance with precedent I give the following diagrams illustrating the death-rates from Small-pox in each district during each of the three years of
the triennial period under review with side by side the proportion of population protected against the disease by vaccination
during the seven preceding years.
1887-94.

sufficient testimony of the good work it has done. Dr.Deare, I consider,
deserves the special thanks of Government for his tact and discretion in this con-
nection—especially as it was work that was at first considered impracticable by the
local officers and others who knew Eastern Bengal and had experience of the power
of the Ferazi opposition. I also desire particularly to bring to the prominent
notice of Government the valuable assistance rendered in this connection, to the
cause of vaccination, by Maulvi Syuddin Ahmed, the High-Priest of the Ferazi
Muhammadans. It will be seen from Dr. Deare's report what great help he
gave: indeed it is not too much to say that, but for this high-priest's active
influence, it would have been very much more difficult, if not impossible, to have
accomplished the good work which has been so successfully carried out. I have
already, in a separate communication, brought Maulvi Syuddin Ahmed's valu-
able assistance to the notice of the Government, in the hope that His Honour
the Lieutenant-Governor may consider the desirabiltiy of bestowing the title
of Khan Bahadur on him, as a personal distinction, which he so well deserves.
