Expenditure on provincial
vaccination.
35. The total cost of the Provincial Vaccination Department amounted to
Rs. 42,956-4-6 against Rs. 42,824-13-6 in 1900-1901 and
Rs. 42,245-11-8 in 1899-1900. The differences are
slight and call for no comment.
36. The average cost of each successful vaccination last year was
Re. 0-2-3 against Re. 0-2-0¼ in the previous year and Re 0-1-9¾ in the year
1899-1900. The increased cost is due to the smaller number of successful opera-
tions performed.

exclusive of Khairagarh, Kanker, Kawardha, Sarangarh
and Raigarh, from which no returns have been received,
amounted to Rs. 5,311-3-4. The requisite figures not being available for all the
States, no comparison can be made of the average cost of each successful vacci-
nation during the past three years.

attached to dispensaries in the Central Provinces, exclud-
ing Feudatory States, was 12,987 against 15,464 in the
previous year and 22,744 in 1899-1900. Of these,
10,665 were primary operations and 2,322 re-vaccinations, 6,975 being successful
primary operations on infants under one year of age The decrease is due

pared with 92.34 in 1900-1901 and 92.87 in 1899-1900, while re-vaccinations

tory States.
41. The total number of operations performed by Hospital Assistants
attached to Feudatory State dispensaries was 2,170, of
which 1,811 were primary vaccinations and 359 re-vacci-

years.

two years. No inspections were carried out by the Civil Surgeon, Bilaspur, owing
to the office having changed hands several times during the season.

in the Jubbulpore District during the past year, the work there had to be carried
out by the Civil Surgeon himself. In the Nagpur District an Assistant Surgeon
was specially deputed for the purpose.
