Ambálah parganah.
Manimájrah, is 6,699 ; of this number 6,144 were successful,
and 389 were revaccinations.
15. About the middle of November I sent two native
superintendents and a staff of vaccinators on to Ambálah
to commence the work in that parganah, hoping they
would get a considerable . amount of work performed
by the time I arrived there. On the contrary, I found they had
done little or nothing by the end of November. Thinking they
had been idle, I went with them to several villages, for several
days together, but with no result; all within a radius of 6 or 7
miles of cantonments most obstinately refused to allow any
vaccination, or only of the low caste. The tahsíldár was
extremely indifferent and took no interest in the work, al-
though the Deputy Commissioner, Captain Beadon, spoke
to him about giving assistance on several occasions. The
consequence was much time was spent over this parganah, it
not being finished until 15th January, part of the establish-
ment having been working in it for two months, and the others
six weeks. This lack of success was partly, no doubt, due to
my having to leave them in order to visit and inspect other
districts.
I went into the town of Ambálah on several days, and
met with very fair success. Extra Assistant Commissioner
Gopál Sahai rendered me every assistance, using his influence
with his friends, and I vaccinated his own child and several
children of the wealthier classes who met at his house for the
purpose.
Number
vaccinated
in
the
Ambálah
parga¬
nah.
The population is 24,040, and 435 persons were vaccinated,
of which 406 were successful and 18 revaccinations. This is
very much better than has ever been done before, being the first
time the wealthier people would allow their children to be
vaccinated.
The total number vaccinated in the parganah was 3,725,
which, considering the population, 177,081, is very small; if
assistance had been given, twice this number might have been
performed ; of this number 3,563 were successful, and 45
revaccinations.
There are 304 villages in this parganah,
which have all been visited.
Small-pox
in
a
village
near
Ambálah
can¬
tonments.
In a small village about 3½ miles from cantonments,
small-pox broke out previous to the vaccinator's visit; five
children who had not been vaccinated took the disease, and one
died ; these were all children of low caste parents, and were
not allowed to mix with the rest of the villagers ; 13 children
were vaccinated and no more cases occurred. This is an
instance of how easily the disease may be prevented from
spreading by a little care.

16. Work was commenced in the Píplí parganah
about the middle of December and completed about the third
week in January. Every assistance was rendered, and the
work went on very satisfactorily.
The population of this parganah is 221,419, and contains
527 villages, which were all visited. The total number of persons
vaccinated in this parganah, excluding the towns of Sháhábád
and Thánesar, is 7,709, of which 7,183 were successful and 181
revaccinations.
