those in which fees arc levied on those anle to pay, (II) those in which treat-
ment is free to all. The cattle population within a radius of five miles of each
dispensary is shown and the relation which the number of cattle treated bears
to it is worked out as a percentage with the object of showing to what extent
the institutions are being utilised by cattle owners and for purposes of com-
parison.
17. Dhulia Dispensary.—Veterinary Graduate D. S. Purohit held charge
throughout the year. The dispensary was inspected on 14th August 1906.
The total number of cases treated was 2,418 as against 2,217 last year, an in-
crease of 201. Of the total number treated 079 were equines, 1,375 bovines and
364 others as compared with 686 equines, 1,021 bovines and 510 others last year.
It is satisfactory to note that the increase has been principally among cattle.
In addition to the above the Veterinary Graduate treated 352 animals while on
tour, of which 23 were equines, 321 bovines and 8 others. The Veterinary
Graduate during the outbreak of rinderpest succeeded in inoculating only 256
animals and he states that the people were unwilling to permit their animals to
be inoculated. Mr. Purohit in addition to his other duties supervised the
Government stallions at Dhulia and Chálisgaon, treated the Municipal animals
and the horses of the Mounted Police. The cattle population within a radius of
five miles of Dhulia Dispensary is 8,734 and the number of cattle treated is
1,375, giving a percentage of 15.74 of the cattle population. Pees are levied in
this dispensary.
18. Nandurnár Dispensary.—Veterinary Graduate D. G. Kulkarni held
charge during the year under report. The dispensary was inspected on 28th
August 1906. The total number of cases treated was 2,207 as against 1,475
last year, an increase of 732. Of these 405 were horses, 1,717 bovines and 85
others. The Veterinary Assistant inoculated only 132 animals against rinder-
pest. The general work of the dispensary has been satisfactory and the increase
of 732 in the number of patients treated indicates that the institution is making
progress in popular estimation. The cattle population within the radius of five
miles from the dispensary is 12,285 and the number of animals treated amounts
to 1,717 which gives a percentage of 13.97. Treatment at this dispensary is
free to all.
19. Jalgaon Dispensary.—Veterinary Graduate N. B. Soman held charge
during the year under report. The dispensary was inspected on 30th August
1906. There were 2,057 animals treated at the dispensary as against 2,051
during the previous year showing an increase of 6 only. Of the total number
of cases treated 251 were equines, 1,727 bovines and 79 others. The Veterinary
Graduate treated 125 cases of foot and mouth disease and he arrived at out-
breaks of rinderpest too late to perform any inoculations. The Veterinary
Graduate performed three castrations during the year. He inspected the Govern-
ment stallion at Jalgaon. But little progress has been made during the year.
The cattle population within five miles of the dispensary is 14,480 and 1,727
cattle treated at the dispensary give a percentage of 11.93. Pees are levied
in this dispensary.

up to 21st November 1906 when Veterinary Graduate S. V. Soman was
appointed and took charge. The dispensary was inspected on 29th August
1906. During the year 1,338 cases were treated as against 917 last year. This
shows an increase of 421 which shows that Salutri Gadgil and Veterinary
Assistant Soman have exerted themselves. Of the total number of cases treated
208 were equines, 1,068 bovines and 62 others. In addition to the above, 455
cases were treated while on tour. The cattle population within the radius of
five miles of the dispensary amounts to 5,390 and the number of cattle treated
