various vaccinators were supplied on the 15th October. In addition to the
Bhandara lymph, supplies were obtained from Bombay and England. The
English animal lymph here, as in other districts, was the most certain, and
after free cultivation of it the vaccinators of the various circles were supplied.
No attempt was made to cultivate animal lymph. The Civil Surgeon reports
some opposition in the large towns and villages, but that, as a whole, vaccination
is accepted with indiffernce.
The total of operations performed was 10,902, including re-vaccinations.
The percentage of success is reported to have been 95.61.
The establishment is fairly well spoken of.
The Civil Surgeon saw very many cases of small-pox among children, and
notes the immunity of those which had been vaccinated, and that the people
recognised this.
The statistics of the Wardha District show that there were 9,869 infants
available for vaccination, and only 7,113 operations were performed on infants.
There were 273 deaths from small-pox among infants.
45. Chanda.—Arm to arm vaccination is usually kept up all the year
round in the towns of Chanda, Warora and Sironcha, but owing to the wide-
spread sickness of the year the supply failed and was not renewed till the arrival
of English animal lymyh; with this operations were commenced.
The total amount of work done is represented by 17,228 vaccinations, with
a percentage of 96 of successful primary operations. There were no re-vaccina-
tions performed, for which no explanation is given.
The average work done by each vaccinator is small when compared with
other districts, but the district is a more difficult one to work in many respects,
and the illness of two of the vaccinators in some measure accounts for the
deficiency.
The staff of vaccinators is fairly well reported on.
46. Raipur.— There are 34 circles of vaccination in connection with this
district under the immediate supervision of 4 Native Superintendents.
Of these, 19 are in the Khalsa and the remainder in the Zamindari and
Feudatory States. The Circles are divided between the various Native Superin-
tendents for convenience of control and inspection.
The area covered by these operations is 10,881 square miles and the popu-
lation 1,361,390.
Owing to the occurrence of cholera in the town of Raipur the supply of
lymph could not be kept up, and from May to September there was an inter-
ruption of work.
In September work was renewed with lymph obtained from Sambalpur.
Later on further supplies of fresh lymph were obtained, and the English animal
lymph proved most active.
Fair success was obtained in the cultivation of animal lymph, and such as
to encourage a more extended use of it, especially at the beginning of each
season, so that the valuable month from 15th October to 15th November may
not be lost.
16
The plan of work described by the Civil Surgeon is satisfactory, but some
vaccinators did not finish their circles.
The Civil Surgeon was prevented by illness from inspecting as much work
in his district as he intended, but his observations of the work done conclusively
shows the necessity for his personal oversight.
The average number of operations done by each vaccinator is very small in
comparison with other districts, and the small number of re-vaccinations shows
that there is still more organisation required.
There were 2,039 deaths from small-pox reported in this district, and 785 of
these were of infants.
47. Bilaspur.—As in Raipur, there is attached to this district a consider-
able staff of vaccinators employed in Feudatory and Zamindari States.
Lymph was cultivated in this district all the year, and it is reported that
all the vaccinators were at work in their respective circles in October. Other
supplies of lymph were obtained, and the English animal lymph proved the
best.
There was LO cultivation of animal lymph.
34,350 operations are reported, of which 21,144 were done in the Khalsa
and 13,206 in the Feudatory and Zamindari States. 95.1 is the percentage of
successful-primary vaccinations.
The conduct of the staff is reported to have been indifferent, and the
shortcomings appear to have been due to want of efficient oversight and control
of Superintendents.
The statistics of this district show that 17,784 infants were available for
vaccination, but only 9,879 operations were performed on infants. Returns also
show that 2,081 deaths from small-pox—the largest number of any district in the
Province—took place in Bilaspur ; and of these no less than 1,209 were among
infants.
48. Sambalpur.—Attempts to cultivate animal lymph failed, and arm to
arm vaccination was continued. To distant villages lymph had to be carried
in tubes.
English animal lymph is reported upon favourably.
In the Khalsa, 14,021 primary vaccinations were performed, and in the
Feudatory States and Zamindaris 33,238.
The report is not clear as to the success obtained, but the number of opera-
tions done by each of the eleven vaccinators varied greatly.
The Civil Hospital Assistants gave good aid, with one exception. The report
of the conduct of the vaccine establishment of this district is fairly good.

Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces,
in the General Department, —dated Nagpur, the 31st August 1891.

RESOLUTION.

as exhibited in the returns, is compared in the following table:—

The figures for 1889-90 do not, however, include the returns for that year
of the Patna State. There were 6,008 operations in Patna in 1890-91, and
deducting this figure for purposes of comparison with 1889-90, the result for
the Feudatory States is a total in 1890-91 of 52,973 against 49,558 in the
previous year. The increase of activity is most marked in the Provincial
Vaccine Department. Primary vaccinations were more numerous than in
the preceding year in 13 out of the 18 districts. The explanations afforded of
the decrease of operations in Narsinghpur and Chanda are not altogether satis-
factory.
2. There was no material change in the strength of the Vaccination
Establishment; one vaccinator less was employed on the Provincial Staff and
two more were employed in the Feudatory States.
3. The number of primary operations and of re-vaccinations performed
by the Provincial Vaccine Department, with the percentage of success returned,
in the two years, is as follows :—

The steady increase of late years in the number of re-vaccinations was noticed
in the Chief Commissioner's Resolution on last year's Report. There has been
a further increase during the year 1890-91.
4. The increase (reported in paragraph 10 of the notes) in the number of
infants and young children who were successfully vaccinated by the Provincial
Vaccine Establishment is satisfactory.
5. The total expenditure on vaccination in the Khalsa was Rs. 45,747
against Rs. 46,543 in the preceding year; and the average cost of each success-
ful vaccination was Re. 0-2-0¼ and Re. 0-2-3½ in the two years respectively.
In the Feudatory States the expenditure has slightly risen,-mainly on account
of the employment of two Native Superintendents in the States of Bamra and
Kalahandi.
6. In accordance with the instructions contained in Home Department
letter No. 302, dated the 15th October 1890, steps have been taken to effect
the substitution of animal lymph for that obtained from human beings. Animal
lymph obtained from Berar was supplied to a few districts experimentally and
proved satisfactory. An Assistant Surgeon was also deputed to Berar for
instruction in the details of the cultivation of animal lymph, and on his return
the Berar method was given a trial in Jubbulpore. The question of cultivating
animal lymph experimentally at Pachmarhi is now under the Superintendent-
General's consideration.
7. The question of extending the provisions of the Vaccination Act, XIII
of 1880, to the Municipalities of Nagpur and Jubbulpore has been recently
referred to the Municipal Committees of those places for their consideration.
The Act was extended in 1883 to the Cantonments of Jubbulpore, Saugor and
Pachmarhi, and subsequently (1888) to the Municipality of Raipur; but it is
only in the Cantonment of Jubbulpore that steps have been taken to bring it
into active operation by the introduction (in February 1890) of rules under
Section 20.
8. The Notes and Statements were two months over-due when received in
the Secretariat, and the Superintendent-General should take steps to secure the
punctual submission of the returns to and their prompt compilation in his office
in future.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution (with the usual number
of spare copies) be submitted to the Government of India in the Home
Department, and that a copy be forwarded to the Superintendent-General of
Vaccination for information and guidance; also, that it be published in the
Supplement to the Central Provinces Gazette, and that copies, bound with the
Report, be distributed as usual.
