Inspection of work at
Jullunder.
In December I inspected the work in this city, I found the cha-
racter of the vesicles fair, but the Native Superintendent I found had
sent me a false report, for which I fined him and warned him, that
he would be dismissed if he ever did this again.

Kurnaul.—One Native Superintendent and four Vaccinators,

Deaths from small pox occurred during each month of the year
in the district, but the first fatal case in the town of Kurnaul oc-
curred in April, only 18 deaths took place in this town in the twelve
months. Formerly this town had annually a very large mortality
from small pox.

Number vaccinated
in the Seal kote dis-
trict.
Sealkote.—One Native Superintendent and four Vaccinators.
13,842 persons were vaccinated in this district, of which 13,593 were
successful. Vaccination has been very successful in this district,
since the Provincial Establishment visited it in 1868. The people
are more alive to the benefits of vaccination, I believe than in any
other district.
Success in this dis-
trict due to the in-
terest taken in the
work by the Civil
Authority in 1868.
This is solely to be attributed to the great interest the Deputy
Commissioner (then Colonel Mercer) took in vaccination, when the
Establishment first visited the district.
Deaths from small
pox.
In the town of Sealkote there were six deaths from small pox
and in the district 903.

The districts that have suffered most from small pox are Loo-
diana (4927 deaths) Ferozepore (2880 deaths) and Goojrat (2179
deaths.)
The first of these districts has been twice visited by the Pro-
vincial Establishment, viz., in 1866 and during the year under
report. On both of these occasions the work has been very un-
satisfactory as far as numbers go, great opposition was met with
