READ—
A letter, No. 641, dated the 28th September 1871, from the Inspector-General of
Hospitals, Indian Medical Department, submitting the reports and returns of vaccin-
ation in the Lower Provinces for the year ending 31st March 1871.
1. THE system of vaccination in Bengal may be looked upon as a modifi-
cation of that known as the Rohilcund system in the North-Western Provinces.
It endeavours, by selecting certain specified areas and supplying them with a
sufficient staff of vaccinators, to protect them by degrees completely, and
gradually to spread a similar system from circle to circle, rather than to
vaccinate here and there in a desultory manner all over Bengal. The enormous
area and population of Bengal rendered a simultaneous system of vaccination
for the whole country impossible, and the system of selected circles has now
been in operation, and the areas gradually extended since 1864. It has still
failed to reach the greater portion of Bengal Proper, Behar, and Cuttack. Side
by side with this system, the old plan of dispensary vaccination under the
guidance of Civil Surgeons of districts is still in force, and a fair proportion of
this is now paid for by municipalities.

2. The general results of the past year, as shown in the marginal abstract,
exhibit a considerable increase, to
the extent of more than 50 per
cent., in the number of operations
performed at dispensaries, and, with
the exception of a partial increase
in the Ranchee and Sonthal Per¬
gunnahs circles, a falling off in the
other larger circles. There has
also been a fair ratio of success at
the dispensaries, though in the
aggregate slightly lower than the
previous year, in all the circles.
The total expenditure* of the year has been greater by Rs. 8,089-3-7 than in
the preceding year—the sum of
Rs. 77,788-1-6 having been paid by
the State, and Rs. 9,956 from other
sources. The average cost of each successful case was on the whole 4 annas
3 pie; but in dispensary vaccination alone the cost did not exceed 2 annas 6 pie.
It should be explained, in reference to the smaller ratio of successful cases
shown by the Calcutta circle, that in this circle re-vaccination cases, which are
rarely successful, are included, whereas in the other circles cases of re-vaccin-
ation are very few indeed.
( 4 )
very fully concurs in the summary of the principles laid down by the Inspector-
General for the conduct of vaccine operations, and especially in regard to the
necessity of restricted areas and close supervision.
ORDERED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Inspector-
General of Hospitals for information and guidance, and for communication to
the subordinate officers concerned.

2. The general results of the year's proceedings are shown in the accom-
panying abstract, from
which it appears that
there has, on the whole,
been an increase of
26,972 in the number
of persons vaccinated.
This increase of work
has been general, the
Metropolitan
circles
only excepted.
Here
there has been a falling
off of 48,603.
The
increase in the remain-
ing circles has been,—
Calcutta and Suburbs, 1,248; Darjeeling circle, 32,937; Ranchee circle,
28,600; Sonthal Pergunnahs, 1,898; and dispensary vaccination, 10,892, or a
gross increase of 75,575.

The statement on the margin shows the amount of work done during the
last 10 years. There
is a most marked and
progressive
increase
year by year, and
1871-72 is far in ad-
vance of any of its pre-
decessors. Still, taking
the population of these
provinces at 60 millions,
and the birth-rate at 30 per mille, the number of persons vaccinated amounts
only to about one-fifth of the births.
Summary of opera-
tions and success-
ful operations.
3. Table A. gives a summary of the work of the year in greater detail;
365,823 persons were vaccinated for the first time against 339,901—increase
25,922 ; and 9,468 re-vaccinated against 8,408—increase 1,050; the increase of
the latter was in Calcutta and its Suburbs. The number of persons successfully
vaccinated was 339,311 against 324,226—increase 15,085. The increase among
successful primary vaccinations was 15,321, while there was a decrease of
successful secondary vaccinations of 236. Thus the increase of persons success-
fully vaccinated was on the whole less than the increase of persons vaccinated by
11,887. This result is due to a marked fall in success in the Darjeeling circle,
where the percentage was 85.09 against 92.65, and to the greater number of
vaccinations and a smaller ratio of success in this class. Statement No. 1 shows
a

of local vaccination has been considerably above that of former years, and consi-
derable advance has been made in inducing inoculators to practise vaccination.
On the whole, though good and earnest work and some progress is manifest, the
results fall most lamentably short of the requirements of the province.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
K. McLEOD, A.M., M.D.,

Officiating Secretary.

CALCUTTA AND THE SUBURBS.
Memorandum by G. SAUNDERS, ESQ., Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Presidency
Circle,—(No. 885, dated Fort William, the 19th May 1872.)
SUBMITTED for the Inspector-General's information.
The Superintendent-General's report does not appear to call for special
notice in this office; I therefore forward it on without delay. There is, how-
ever, one paragraph (No. 5) which I will just allude to, in which Dr. Charles
refers to the influences which he considers to be in operation in determining
the liability to small-pox in a rapidly increasing population, apart from the
effects resulting from vaccination. His observations would seem to show that
such influences do exist; but our information is too incomplete to enable us to
determine to what extent climatic conditions are concerned in bringing about
such a tendency, and we have no reliable statistics which will enable us to ascer-
tain if, when the death-rate from small-pox is considerably and (as Dr. Charles
shows) unexpectedly lowered, a higher mortality from some other disease or
diseases may not be occurring which will still keep up the general death-rate
for the year at the normal standard.
