pox was proved to have originated directly from the practice. The Lakhimpur Civil
Surgeon states that inoculation is still practised among the Assamese in that district.
The Inspector of Vaccination, who was sent to Kathalguri to report on an outbreak of
small-pox in that mauza, gave reasons for supposing that the outbreak took its rise from
persons who had been recently inoculated. The Civil Surgeons of all other districts
reported that there was no evidence that inoculation was practised in their districts.
Small-pox mortality compared
with amount of protection obtained
by successful vaccination.
27. In accordance with orders contained in Government of India, Home Depart-
ment letter No 49, dated the 8th of February 1894,
the following diagram has been prepared in order to
compare the death-rate from small-pox registered in 1897,
district by district, with the amount of protection afforded by successful vaccinations
during the seven years 1891-92 to 1897-98. From the diagram it appears that the
highest small-pox death-rates in 1897 occurred in the Sibsagar and Lakhimpur districts,
in which the greatest protection was given by successful vaccination during the last
seven years. The small-pox death-rate in 1897 was lowest in Cachar, in which district,
with one exception, the protection afforded by successful vaccination was smallest. As
noted in previous reports, the proportion of the inhabitants of Assam successfully
vaccinated is comparatively small, means of communication in the interior of districts
is difficult, there is often no small-pox in large tracts of the country for a good many
years in succession, and, when the disease is afterwards introduced into these tracts,
very severe outbreaks take place.

NOTE.—The narrow lines indicate death-rates from small-pox for the year 1897.
The wide lines indicate the population protected by vaccination during past seven years.

Animal Lymph Depôt at Shillong.
28. The Annual Report of the Bovine Vaccine Lymph Depôt at Shillong by the
Civil Surgeon of that station is given as Appendix A to
this report. The total expenditure for the year, including
Rs. 753-14-1 debited to the Manipur State, amounted to Rs. 7,750-15-2, being
Rs. 498-2-9 more than Rs. 7,252-12-5, the expenditure incurred during 1896-97.
The principal causes of the increased expenditure were (a) the amount paid for
capillary tubes was Rs. 394 in excess of the expenditure under that head in 1896-97,
and (b) the miscellaneous charges were greater on account of the enhanced rates
which prevailed after the earthquake of the 12th of June. There were 101 deaths
among protected and unprotected calves, as against 105 in the previous year. During
the year, 309,890 tubes were loaded, as compared with 316,923 loaded in 1896-97.
On an average 12,310 tubes were sent weekly to Civil Surgeons during the vaccinating
season. Civil Surgeons reported that the lymph supplied to them throughout the
season was of excellent quality. The Civil Surgeon of Darrang reported that the
Shillong lymph took well as if it had an irritant in it. He also stated that. in his
opinion it was not so good as humanized lymph, but he did not give the grounds on
which he formed that opinion. Much credit is due to Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel
Campbell for the very efficient manner in which he supervised the depôt during the year
and for the activity which he displayed in getting a very useful temporary depôt
built to take the place of the old buildings which were demolished by the earthquake.
A proposal to construct permanent depôt buildings is under consideration. Dr.
Campbell reports that the hospital assistant in subordinate charge, Chandra Nath
Chand, and Kamal Charan Datta, who acted for him for two months, performed their
duties in an excellent manner.
Fresh animal lymph.
29. At the end of the 2nd paragraph of the Resolution on the Vaccination Report
for 1896-97, the Chief Commissioner stated that he deemed
it advisable that the ordinary supply of lymph should be
supplemented, so as to guard against possible accidents at the central depôt, and that
further efforts should, therefore, be made to carry out vaccinations with fresh lymph.
Civil Surgeons were accordingly requested, in a circular letter dated the 10th of
October 1897, to endeavour to carry on vaccinations with fresh calf lymph at the head-
quarters of their districts. As in the previous year, the attempt had to be given up on
account of the difficulty of obtaining calves and the strong prejudices of the people.
Arm-to-arm vaccination.
30. In the Sylhet district, 3,277 vaccinations were done, according to the state-
ment of the Civil Surgeon, by the arm-to-arm method, all
successfully. Seven successful arm-to-arm vaccinations
were done in the Goalpara district. In all other districts all vaccinations were done by
preserved lymph obtained from Shillong.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
A. STEPHEN, M.B., Surgeon-Colonel,
Principal Medical Officer and Sanitary Commissioner, Assam.

APPENDIX A.
Annual Report of the Animal Vaccine Depot at Shillong for the year
1898-99.
Expenditure.
The total expenditure for the year 1898-99 was Rs. 7,730-5-5, being Rs. 733-4-4 more than
last year. The expenditure incurred by the Manipur State, which
is not included in the above, amounted to Rs. 762-14-0, compared
with Rs. 753-14-1 in the previous year. The causes of the increase in expenditure this year are
given below:
(a) More calves had to be purchased, as the supply of tubes required was much greater than
in any previous year.
(b) An increase in feeding charges, as there were more calves, and a more liberal supply of
cut grass was provided.
Petty construction and repairs.
2. The sum of Rs. 124-8-9 was expended on petty construction
and repairs.
Animals.
3. During the year 501 calves were bought at a net cost of
Rs. 3,507, of which Rs. 280 have been charged to Manipur State.
The account of calves was as follows:

Of the protected calves, 13 died before the lymph was taken, and 10 after the lymph had been
taken from them. The decrease in mortality may be ascribed to several causes:
(a) A new contract has been entered into by which the contractor receives all the calves
back after inoculation without payment, it is therefore to his advantage to give good,
strong and healthy calves.
(b) He takes delivery now of the calves twice a week, so that there is no overcrowding.
(c) A greater supply of straw bedding was provided, so that colds were not so prevalent.
