During the year there were 40 Inspectors of Sanitation and Vaccination
who were on travelling duty. The names of 410,256 children were called from
registers, of whom 292,297 were present and 117,953 absent, but their absence
was accounted for, whilst 6 had migrated. Out of 292,297 children inspected
234,219 were protected and in 8,078 cases the operation was unsuccessful.
Again out of 284,219 successful cases 226,707 had good cicatrices and 57,512
" bad." In the registers tested the results were entered as 377,876 successful,
7,070 unsuccessful and doubtful, 25,699 unknown or absent and 389 secondary
operations. The greatest number of children inspected was in the Southern Regis-
tration District and the greatest number of villages seen was in Sind.
Conduct of members in the
Department.
51. The conduct of the inspecting officers was
reported to be satisfactory. The conduct of the vacci-
nators, clerks and peons, with few exceptions, was gene-
rally good.
Inoculation.
52. No inoculation was reported to have been practised anywhere in the
Presidency, except in the Dángs under the Khándesh
Agency, which is being enquired into.
Ill effects by vaccination.
53. No instances were reported of any disease having been communicated
through vaccination except that the Deputy Sanitary
Commissioner, Central Registration District, reports a
death attributed to erysipelas following vaccination occurred in a rickety child
in Vengurla town. Three other cases of erysipelas after vaccination also occurred
in the same town, but from enquiries made it appears that there was a case
existing in the town entirely unconnected with vaccination and that in two of
the four cases the lymph used was not that in use in the town.
Villages visited and not
visited by vaccinators.
54. The following statement shows the number of villages visited, as well
as those left unvisited, by the vaccinators of the depart-
ment in each District and Native States during the
year under report, as per paragraph 5 of Government
Resolution in the General Department, No. 4748 of 4th December 1890 :—
