During the year the following officers held charge :—
Surgeon-Major A. M. Garden, Superintendent General,
from 1st April 1875 to 10th December, and from 7th to 31st
March 1876.
( 2 )
Surgeon-Major I. Newton, as Superintendent, from 1st
April 1875 to 7 th December, and as Officiating Superintendent
General from 10th December 1875 to 7th March 1876.
Dr. Ferguson, as Officiating Superintendent, from 8th
December 1875 to 8th February 1876.
Surgeon J. Bennett, as Officiating Superintendent, from
9th February to 31st March 1876.
2. During the hot months work was carried on chiefly in
the hill territory of Bisáhir and in the Hazárá and Murree
hills. The Rájah of Bisáhir had his son vaccinated, and oppo-
sition was not met with in his country. Small-pox appeared
in several places in the hills amongst people who had lately
come from the plains. It appeared at Solun and Subáthú.
Vaccinations and revaccinations were freely performed. The
disease was confined to natives. In Simla operations were,
as usual, performed during the whole season. Great difficulty
was experienced in keeping up the vaccine disease and supply of
virus. This was perhaps caused by the exceptional weather
and long continued rains. In Kálká not a single case of
small-pox occurred owing to the excellent arrangements of
Captain Corbyn, Assistant Commissioner. Hitherto this
disease has almost invariably yearly appeared there. In
October the hill territory of Bhagal was done. The Rájah
gave every assistance, and promised to have his son, an
infant, vaccinated next year.
3. DELHI.—In November I commenced work in the
Delhi District, intending to do the whole of it, if possible,
before the troops for the Camp of Excercise had assembled
there. The greater part was done. Mr. T. W. Smyth, Deputy
Commissioner, the subordinate native officials, and some
native gentlemen, gave every assistance in their power. Their
time was much taken up in making arrangements for the camp,
&c., and not so much work was done as would otherwise have
been done ; nevertheless a large number of people were vacci-
nated, and there was no small-pox during the whole time the
troops were in the district. In many places opposition was
met with and overcome.
Early in December I went away on leave, and Dr. I.
Newton took my place and worked in the Sonepat Tahsil.
The time of the Tahsíldár was taken up almost entirely in
providing for the troops, but he gave as much help as he could,
and the people gave less trouble than they formerly had given.
4. KARNAL.—At the end of December Dr. Newton
entered the Karnál District at Pánipat. The people of this
large town had up till now been violently opposed to vaccina-
tion ; but through the able assistance of the Tahsíldár and his
Naib, and Members of the Municipal Committee, over 1,000
children were vaccinated.
A good many of these were
Rajputs. By the 10th January this tahsíl was done, and that
of Karnál begun. Here difficulty was everywhere met with,
but in most instances eventually overcome. The Tahsíldár
( 3 )
was young and inexperienced, and had not much influence
with the people. In the city of Karnál for several days
nothing could be done. Afterwards, with the help of two
Members of the Municipal Committee, about 600 children
were vaccinated. Some of the Members sent their families
away, thereby showing a very bad example to the people, and
causing them extra fear of vaccination.
The Pánipat Tahsíl was done in a fortnight, but the
Karnál took a month. Much trouble was met with in the
Kaithal Tahsíl of this district at first; finally a fair amount of
work was done. Small-pox was prevalent in many parts.
Dr. Newton says that the people in this and the Delhi District
are beginning to hide deaths from small pox.
5. UMBALLA.—The Pípli, Kharar, and Rupar Tahsíls, of
the Umballa District, were next undertaken, and very little
opposition was met with. In many parts, and especially about
Kharar, the vaccinators are gladly welcomed.
6. LUDHIANA.—Dr. Newton examined the work here, and
found it had been well done.
7. JULLUNDUR.—Work here had been well done, and
the people were becoming yearly more alive to the benefits
of vaccination.
8. HOSHIARPUR.—As is usual in this district, the vaccina-
tors rarely met with opposition, and the work was well done.
9. AMRITSAR.—Here opposition has always been met
with, but it now appears to be gradually giving way, there being
a decided improvement in the proportion of vaccinations to the
area goive over. Colonel Hall, Deputy Commissioner, has
always encouraged vaccination.
10. GURDASPUR.—Dr. Newton examined 253 children
vaccinated in twelve villages, all of whom had been success-
fully done ; 99 per cent had six cicatrices each.
11. SIALKOT.—332 children were examined here in
twelve villages, and nearly every child showed six good
vaccine marks.
12. KANGRA.—An inspection of the work of some
inoculators, who had been taught vaccination by Honorary
Surgeon Quinnell, showed it to be valueless.
13. FEROZEPORE.—A new district was undertaken this
year, "Ferozepore." Dr. J. Bennett, Offg. Superintendent Vac-
cination, conducted the operations. In many places great opposi-
tion was met with, and this chiefly where the Sikh element
predominated. In Ferozshah, Moodki, and near villages oppo-
sition was so great that all attempts had to be given up, and
much time was wasted. In those parts where the district was
thinly populated, work was retarded. At Farídkot the Rajah,
and therefore his officials as well, were at first much opposed to
vaccination, and, though by the tact displayed by Dr. Bennett,
he was eventually induced to assist, valuable time was lost.
