Difficulties met with at
Attock and in the Chuch.
Tahsildar "Doorga Per-
shad's" tact.
Small-pox spreading from
Huzara originating from
"inoculation."
The epidemic checked
through arrangements made
by Major Hall.
In some places the people were very difficult to deal with, and this
was especially the case about Attock and in the
Chuch. The Tahsildar of Attock, "Doorga Per-
shad," deserves great praise for the way in which he
managed these people. He was untiring in his efforts, and I trust that his
exertions may meet with the favorable notice of His Honor the Lieutenant-
Governor. The names of the other Tahsildars, Lumberdars, &c., who gave
good assistance, have been mentioned by me to Major Hall, the Deputy Com-
missioner. Small-pox had broken out in many places
in this district, having spread here from the Huzara
hills, where "inoculators" had been largely at work. The arrangements
made by Major Hall for getting the people quickly
vaccinated were perfect, and the epidemic, which would
doubtless have been very severe, was checked. Major Hall has always taken
great interest in the work of vaccination, and gave me all the assistance in
his power, and in consequence, notwithstanding that the people, as above
stated, were very difficult to be dealt with, a great deal of work has been
accomplished in the district.
Evidences of work done by
the Dispensary vaccinators.
During my tour through the district, I saw evidences that a very fair
amount of work had been done in former years by the
Dispensary vaccinators. In almost every large village
several children were brought to me with marks of successful vaccinations
on their arms; this work had been done almost entirely by vaccinator "Jai
Sing." I took "Jai Sing" with me wherever I went, and found him to
be a very popular man.
He has been taken into the Punjab Vaccine Establishment, and is now
a Native Superintendent.
This is the only district I have visited where I have seen that work
has been honestly done by the Dispensary vaccinators. The Rawulpindi
district is a very large one. On this account, and because of the villages in
most places being at long distances from one another, a great deal of time
was necessarily spent in it. Work was commenced there on the 7th October,
and a considerable amount still remains to be done.
4. In December I visited the several districts from Lahore down
to Dehli, inspecting the work being done there.
Lahore.
But little work done in
the city.
Proposes that the Honor-
ary Magistrates should give
assistance.
In the Lahore district I found the vaccinators had been working well.
In the villages no opposition had been met with, but
in the city very little had been done. This is the case
in most of the larger towns, and unless the Honorary Magistrates can be
induced to take some interest in the work, I fear it will
remain so. It would, I think, be a good plan were the
Honorary Magistrates in turn to devote themselves to this work. If one at a
time in each town would undertake to get a certain
number of the streets vaccinated to the best of his
ability, something would doubtless be done. As a body they readily enough
promise to assist, but nothing comes of it.

Amritsar work well done.
In the Amritsar district all was going on most favorably. The
people of the villages I visited spoke in favor of vac-
cination, and seemed really to appreciate its value. They
also highly praised the conduct of the Native Superintendent and vaccina-
tors. I would recommend that this man, Native Superintendent "Doonee
Chund," should receive some reward.
Jullundhur.
Objections made to chil-
dren being taken from one
village to another.
In Jullundhur work was going on well, but slowly. Mr. Elsmie
takes much interest in it. The people did not appear
to object to vaccination, but complained of children who
had been already vaccinated being taken from one
village to another. I have issued orders which will I
trust in a great measure obviate this, but I do not see how it can be altoge-
ther done away with. It is frequently absolutely necessary, in order that
vaccinations may be performed from arm to arm, and where it is not abso-
lutely necessary, the work is much delayed if it is not done, and many failures
result. After all it is no great hardship to take a child with its parent a
distance of a mile or two. The parent receives pay, and the child food or
sweetmeats. One person undergoes a small amount of inconvenience for the
benefit of many.
Hoshiarpore and Kang-
ra.
From want of time I was quite unable to visit the Hoshiarpore and
Kangra districts.
Mr. Perkins, the Deputy Commis-
sioner of Hoshiarpore, praises highly the conduct of
"Kahn Chund," the Native Superintendent on duty there.
Ludianah.
In Ludianah very little work indeed had been
done.
No success.
Vaccination has never succeeded in this district. The Native Super-
intendent whom I have placed there is one of my
best men.
The Tahsildars take little or no interest in the work; were they
to exert themselves, I can see no reason why there should be any more
difficulty in this district than in the others I have visited.
Success in the Jageer of
Mallowd, in district of
Ludianah.
In the Jageer of Mallowd, the Native Superintendent reports he met
with no opposition, the Sirdar there having assisted
him. If the same amount of assistance was given in
other parts of this district, the people would doubtless be induced to overcome
their aversion to vaccination.
Amballa.
In the Amballa district work was also going on
very favorably.
Karnaul.
The city vaccinated.
The first year this city
has been free from small-
pox.
In Karnaul, Dr. Newton, the Civil Surgeon, succeeded in get-
ting a great number of the towns-people vaccinated.
"Nujjuf Khan," Tahsildar of Dehli, whose home
is in Karnaul, assisted the vaccinators here of his own accord, and was
of much help to them. I trust that favorable notice of the help he gave
will be taken, as it was through his means that a large part of the city was
vaccinated. The inhabitants seem to begin to under-
stand the value of vaccination. They say that this is
the first year they can remember the city having been entirely free from
small-pox.

Vaccination in the city of
Amritsar.
10. Vaccinations were performed in the city of Amritsar by Hukeem
"Motee Ram," during the entire year. Dr. McRae,
Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, and Dr. Hender-
son, Civil Surgeon of Amritsar, inspected several of these cases in the month
of July, and pronounced the vesicles to be excellent. I tried to do the same
in a few places, but did not consider the results so successful as to warrant my
continuing the practice. 1,020 operations were performed in the city of
Amritsar, of which 810 were successful. " Motee Ram" was employed under
the Hukeem system in Amritsar, but was discharged for misconduct. He has,
however, since then continued vaccinations in the city.
11. In the year 1866, inoculation for small-pox was practiced in
" Kanawar," a part of the district of "Bisahir," situated under the snowy
range north-east of Simla. The disease spread, and a great many people
died in consequence.
Vaccinations introdneed
into Thibet by Mr. Pagell,
Missionary.
I sent vaccinators there, and also gave vaccine to Mr. Pagell, a Mis-
sionary, who resides in those parts. I had previously
given Mr. Pagell instructions in vaccination. On the
outbreak of small-pox in " Kanawar," I begged Mr.
Pagell to use his influence in getting the people vaccinated both there and if
possible beyond the frontier. He has since informed me that his efforts have
been successful, and that in Thibet he has vaccinated about 700 people.
Mr. Pagell is sanguine of being able to carry on operations in Thibet next
hot weather.
12. Appended to this Report are numerical returns of operations per-
formed during the year.
VACCINATION AT DISPENSARIES.
13. There is not much to be said respecting the Dispensary Vaccine
operations. As far as I can learn, the rule of keeping vaccinators within
easy reach of Civil Surgeons is more strictly kept.
Abbottabad.
About Abbottabad and in the Huzara District, there was a good deal
of small-pox during the latter.half of the year, originat-
ing from inoculations having been freely practised there.
The disease spread from thence into the Rawulpindi District.
Bunnoo.
In Bunnoo ' inoculators' were also at work. Dr. Ross, the Civi
Surgeon, tried to put a stop to it, and is in hopes that
he has persuaded an inoculator to give up his old prac
tice and take to vaccination instead.
Dera Ismael Khan.
Success among the Po-
windas.
In the Dera Ismael Khan District, Dr. Courtney was very successful
in introducing vaccination among the Powinrequested him to employ one, and das. He
vaccinated a large number of them at the Dispensary
and several hundreds at their encampments. He states that they appear fully
alive to the advantages of vaccination. He feels the
want of a Pushtoo-speaking vaccinator to work among
them, and I have requested him to employ one, and if possible a Powinda.
Dr. Courtney is deserving of praise for his successful efforts.

A. M. GARDEN,
Superintendent-General of Vaccination, Punjab.
Annual Report on Vaccine operations in the Punjab for the year 1869,
FROM
A. M. GARDEN, ESQUIRE, M. D.,
SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL OF VACCINATION, PUNJAB.
To
T. H. THORNTON, ESQUIRE,
SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUNJAB.
SIR,
I have the honor to submit for the information of His Honor the Lieutenant
Governor, my Report on Vaccine Operations in the Punjab, for the year 1869.
Numbers vaccinated by Provincial Establishment.—The numbers vaccinated during the
year by the Punjab Vaccine Establishment are 180,368, being an increase of 11,398
upon the work of the preceding year.
Percentage of successful cases.—The number of successful cases is 169,537, or 96.04
per cent, omitting cases re-vaccinated and unknown.
Cost of Establishment and of each successful case.—The cost of the Punjab Vaccine
Establishment for the year is Rs, 48,095-6-5 ; each successful case therefore cost 4 annas,
six pie, and a fraction.
Numbers Vaccinated by Dispensary Establishments.—The numbers vaccinated by the
Dispensary Establishments are 73,597, being an increase of 8,705 upon the work of the
preceding year.
Percentage of successful cases.—Cost of Dispensary Establishments, and of each successful
case.—The number of successful cases is 48,970; the cost of the Dispensary Estab-
lishments is Rs. 5,526-1-5; each successful case cost 1 anna, 9 pie, and a fraction.
2. Districts visited by Provincial Establishment.—The districts visited by the Provincial
Establishment are Gujranwalla, Goordaspoor, and Jullundur.
Gujranwalla.—Gujranwalla was visited first. Mr. Brandreth, who was then Deputy
Commissioner, interested himself much in the work, making frequent enquiries as to how it
proceeded, &c.
Wuzeerabad.—In Wuzeerabad, and in some of the large villages near to it, there
was much opposition met with, and the work was not satisfactory there. For instance,
in " Sodera," a town of about 1500 houses, only 300 children were vaccinated ; the
Municipal Committee having given very inadequate assistance. In this town "Sodera,"
in "Wuzeerabad," and in other towns about here, small pox had committed great
ravages.
Inoculation for Small Pox practised.—I saw in these parts many children who,
lately, and formerly had been inoculated for small pox, which may probably account
for the disease having been so violent. The inoculators were said to have come at
different times from the Goojrat district.
Hafizabad.—In the "Hafizabad" Tehseel, "Arjmund," the Tehseeldar, shewed much
tact in his manner of dealing with the people, and work was carried on there exceed-
ing well,—I beg to bring his name to the favorable notice of this Honor the Lieu-
tenant Governor. In the town of Gujranwalla, as well as in the other parts of this
( 5 )
Surgeon who has undertaken the work, reports that the animals are quite wild and unman-
ageable, and that he has much difficulty with them: he will doubtless succeed after a time.
VACCINATION AT DISPENSARIES.
In some Districts vaccination could not be carried on at the commencement of the
season, on account of the great amount of sickness prevalent. Dr. Bellew at Peshawur
found it impossible to begin work till December, and this was the case in other parts, and
will account for the falling off in numbers at those places. In a few Districts there has
been a large increase.
In Dera Ghazee Khan there is an increase of
„ Gugaira,
„
„
„ Rohtuck,
„
„
„ Sirsa,
„
„
1,906.
1,070.
4,454.
10,840.
Sirsa.—In the two last the increase is very great. Mr. Nulty, in medical charge, Sirsa,
says—"the benefits of vaccination have now been carried into every village in this district."
Besides this increase of 10,840 in Sirsa, there were 12,067 vaccinations performed by 8
extra vaccinators at a cost of Rs. 240, which amount was paid from Local Funds. Much
praise is due to Mr. Nulty for the energetic manner in which he has carried on
this work.
Hissar.— Vaccinators employed by Municipality.—In the Hissar District three extra vac-
cinators were employed by Municipal Committees, and paid by them Rs. 158-11-4.
Delhi.— Vaccinators employed by Municipality.—The Municipal Committee of Delhi
entertained five vaccinators at a cost of Rs. 370-9-4.
Bhawulpoor.—In the Bhawalpoor territory four vaccinators are paid Rs. 250 by the
State.
Lahore and Umritsur.—In Lahore and Umritsur vaccinators are placed under the
Orders of the Municipal Committees ; these at present received pay from Government,
as the Municipal Funds of those cities are unable to meet the demand.
Mundí.—The Raja of Mundí has entertained a vaccinator, whose pay is Rs. 96
a year.
The operations performed by these men are shewn in a separate return. As
well as the above, Sub Assistant Surgeons and Native Doctors have performed vaccinations
at the Dispensaries to which they are attached : only a few of them have sent their
returns to me, I hope to be able to include them all in my next Annual Report. Appended to
this Report are returns shewing the number of vaccinations performed during the year, and
a Statement of deaths from small pox in the Punjab for five years ending 31st December
1869. The number of deaths that occur monthly, as well as the total for each year, is
given, from which it will be seen that the fewest occur in October, or at the commen-
cement of the cold weather, and that the disease attains its greatest height in the hot
months of the year.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
A. M. GARDEN,
Superintendent General Vaccination, Punjab.
