Inoculation.
26. As noted in last year's report, inoculation continues to be frequently practised
in the Surma Valley. The Civil Medical Officer of Silchar
stated in his report that it is much practised in his district,
but he gave no details. He stated that no outbreak of small-pox had been proved
to originate directly from inoculation. The Civil Surgeon of Sylhet stated that inocu-
lation had been carried on more widely in all sub-divisions of his district in 1896 than in
previous years. He reported that there was reason to believe that an outbreak of small-
pox in Burunga Village, in the north Sylhet Sub-division, was due to inoculation. The
matter was brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner, but he replied that he
could not do anything in the matter. The Civil Surgeon of Lakhimpur reported that,
without doubt, inoculation was extensively practised among certain sections of the
population in his district. One man was prosecuted during the year for inoculating,
and was fined Rs. 60. He stated that he was unable to furnish any statistics regard-
ing the mortality, direct or indirect, originating from inoculation, as small-pox was
prevalent throughout the district, and it was impossible to say whether particular cases
contracted the infection from cases of ordinary small-pox or from inoculated cases.
The Civil Surgeon of the Garo Hills stated that inoculation was practised to a certain
extent in his district. In all other districts Civil Surgeons reported that there was no
evidence that inoculation was practised in their districts.
Mortality from small-pox compar-
ed, district by distric , with the
amount of protection obtained by
successful vaccination
27. In order to compare the death-rate from small-pox registered in 1896, district
by district, with the amount of protection afforded by
successful vaccinations done during the seven years,
1890-91 to 1896-97, the following diagram has been pre-
pared in accordance with orders conveyed in Government
of India, Home Department, letter No. 49, dated the 8th February 1894. From the
diagram it appears that the death-rate from small-pox was highest in the Lakhimpur
District, in which the largest proportion of the inhabitants was successfully vaccinated
during the last seven years, and that the small-pox death-rate was also comparatively
very high in the Sibsagar District, in which the next highest proportion of inhabitants
was protected. As pointed out in last year's report, the proportion of the inhabitants
protected by successful vaccination is still comparatively small, and as means of com-
munication in the interior of districts in Assam is comparatively difficult, small-pox is
frequently not seen in considerable tracts of country for several years in succession, and
when it is introduced into these tracts, very severe outbreaks result.
Diagram showing the death-rates from smalt-pox per 10,000 of population during the year 1896 and the proportion of population protected during the seven years 1890-91 to 1896-97.
NOTE—The narrow lines indicate death-rates from small-pox for the year 1896.
The wide lines indicate the population protected by vaccination during the past seven years,

should be supplemented so as to guard against possible accidents at the central
depôt, and further efforts should, therefore, be made to carry out vaccinations with
fresh lymph. Arm-to-arm vaccination appears to have been tried only in two districts,
Sibsagar and Sylhet, and in both with apparently excellent results.
3. The proportion of the population successfully vaccinated during the year was
4.57 per cent., against 4.29 in 1895-96. The vaccination of infants under one
year of age showed a falling off, viz., 45,865, against 47,176 in the previous year.
During the calendar year 1896, 169,172 births were registered in Assam, and in the
Census Report of 1891 the number of children under one year of age was stated to be
191,720. The proportion of infants successfully vaccinated was thus 27.1 per cent. of
the registered birth-rate, and 23.9 per cent. of the estimated number of infants available
for vaccination.
4. The number of recorded deaths from small-pox in the ten towns in which Com-
pulsory Vaccination Acts are in force was 59, or .89 per thousand, in 1896, against 132,
or 1.92 per thousand, in 1895 ; the corresponding figures for the province as a whole were
1.09 and 0.77 per thousand, respectively. From the diagram given in paragraph 27 of
the report, it would appear that 2,686 persons of every 10,000 of the population
in the plains districts had been protected during the seven years ending 1896-97.
The recorded death-rate was highest in the Lakhimpur district, in which the largest
proportion of the inhabitants had been protected, and, excepting Kamrup, the death-
rate in Sibsagar was higher than in any of the remaining districts, although the
protection afforded in that district was greater than in any other except Lakhimpur.
Looking, however, to the small proportion of persons who are protected, it is evident
that very little importance can be attached to these figures.
