No. 7384.
FROM
F. S. A. SLOCOCK, ESQ., I. C. S.,
SECOND SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER,
Central Provinces,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,
HOME DEPARTMENT.
Nagpur, the 1st July 1904.
SIR,
*With one spare Copy.
I am directed to submit herewith a copy* of the annual notes on
vaccination in the Central Provinces and Berar for the
season 1903-04, and to say that the work of the year
will be reviewed in due course when the triennial report for the years ending
with 1905 comes to be dealt with.
2. The statements have been prepared in the prescribed forms, except
column 6 of statement I, which has not the sub-columns prescribed in the
revised form received with Mr. Marris' letter No. 1605, dated the 30th October
1903, and the Administrative Medical Officer's attention has been irawn to this
mistake. The report does not give any reason to account for the netraordinarily
high percentage of success claimed in re-vaccination in the Central Provinces,
and specially in the Feudatory States as compared with the much lower per-
centage in Berar, but the Administrative Medical Officer has promised to give
the subject his attention.
3. As explained in paragraph 24 of the notes, the necessity for referring
for the first time in some detail to Berar statistics has caused the notes to
exceed the prescribed limit of three pages.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedien Servant,
F. S. A. SLOCOCK,
Second Secretary.
Secretariat Press, Nagpur:—J. E. A., 13-7-1904—286.

was better, no quarrels arose with the people of distant villages about calves,
fewer calves were necessary, and ulcerations were fewer, as the lymph was a
week or 10 days' old before use. Major Buchanan has written a short Vaccina-
tion Manual now in the press, which will be published in English and Hindi.
Colonel Moriarty proposed to distribute a copy to each Vaccinator and Hospital
Assistant. Civil Surgeons will be asked to arrange for the manufacture of
glycerinated calf lymph at head-quarters only, as. described in the Manual.
The former practice of preparing it at dispensaries was not a success in some
districts. For Berar lanolinated lymph is manufactured at the Amraoti Paste
Depôt under the supervision of the Civil Surgeon, and is supplied to all Vaccin-
ators in the Province. The results have been fairly good.
Vaccination in Municipalities
(Appendix A).
22. During the year no new town either in the Central Provinces or in
Berar came under the operation of the Vaccination Act.
Of 21,422 children under one year available for vaccin-
ation only 17,769 were vaccinated. In 13 Municipalities, more children than were
available were successfully vaccinated which is due to an influx of people
from outside. It is unsatisfactory to record that the Municipalities men-
tioned in paragraph 16 of last year's report, viz., Saugor, Damoh, Jubbulpore,
Mandla, Chhindwara, Nagpur, Wardha, Raipur and Sambalpur, still show that
vaccination work is very backward. The municipal towns of Narsinghpur,
Hoshangabad, Mandla, Ellichpur City, Ellichpur Civil Station and Yeotmal
also show that vaccination work has been much neglected during the year under
review. Plague is partly accountable for the decrease in vaccination work in
municipal towns.
Mortality from small-pox as
compared with proportion of
persons protected by vaccina-
tion
23. The mortality from small-pox was less than in the three previous years.
The proportion per 1,000 of population in the Central
Provinces protected by vaccination was 39.24, a slight
increase of .59 on the year previous, whilst in Berar
it was 36.58 or 6.12 less than in the previous year. The
usual diagram is appended.
General Remarks
24. The results of the year's working of the Vaccination Department are
on the whole gratifying, considering that plague has been
prevalent in almost every district. There seems to be
no active dislike to vaccination on the part of the people generally, although
re-vaccination appears to be unpopular. Several Native Superintendents and
Vaccinators are commended for having done good work and the department
generally appears to have maintained harmonious relations with the people.
The necessity of referring in some detail to Berar statistics, now included in
the notes for the first time, has caused them to exceed the prescribed limits.
