78. Veterinary Graduate Asudamal.—Inspected by me on the 21st January
1898 and found in excellent order. The total number of
cases during the year amounted to 1,123 against 1,325,
a slight falling off due to bubonic plague restrictions. In-patients 216, out-
patients 907. Out of the above number,
397 horses, 190 cattle, 87 camels and the
remainder donkeys, dogs, &c. 6 cases of
castration are reported, the property of
breeders. The Veterinary Graduate attend-
ed the horse shows of Moro and Talhár
and toured in the Hyderabad District with
me when I found his services of the great-
est value. He superintended the working
of the Government stallions and assisted
the Transport Officer in purchasing ani-
mals for the Frontier. He has also com-
piled a pamphlet in Sindi on the subject of horse-breeding and the worst forms
of contagious diseases in cattle, carefully detailing the repressive measures
to be adopted. It was submitted to, and approved by, me, is now in the press,
and I trust will have the wide circulation that it so fully deserves. He also
treated animals belonging to the Police, Transport and Commissariat, and ani-
mals sent in under the Cruelty Act. The question as to utilising his services in
giving veterinary instruction to the students of the Agricultural Class was
negatived by the Educational Inspector and the Superintendent, Land Records
and Agriculture, on the plea that there was not sufficient time at the disposal of
the students. I think that the subject might with advantage be re-opened, as
Tapedárs are appointed from this school and it is on them that we rely for timely
intimation of epidemics, &c., whose duties are such that they could well assist
in popularising" veterinary dispensaries throughout the country. The site has
been selected, plans, estimates, &c., made, and it is to be hoped that the new
dispensary will be completed this year. The report again is most satisfactory and
clearly proves the zeal and energy displayed by this Graduate in the performance
of his duties and his thorough tact in dealing with the people.

79. Veterinary Graduate Ansari—Inspected by me on the 19th of January
1898 ; the dispensary was then stationed at Moro, which
in my opinion was unsuitable, and arrangements were
at once made to remove it to Naushahro, the head-quarters of the Division.
The dispensary was established on the 1st November 1897. This report, therefore,
covers a period of only five months. During the above period, 125 animals were
treated—14 in-patients, 111 out-patients.
Out of the above number, 33 horses, 35
cattle, 37 camels and the remainder goats,
&c. The Veterinary Graduate was detail-
ed to attend an outbreak of rinderpest at
Karáchi when he appears to have done
good work; he also inspected Government
stallions and paid 4 visits to owners' sta-
bles. He appears to have been considerably
hampered in the early part of his work for
want of medicines and appliances, but this
difficulty was subsequently overcome, and
I trust that his establishment at head-quarters will result in a successful year.
The report , considering the circumstances, is satisfactory.
