The total number of operations reported to have been performed during the year
showed an increase of 49,549 or 4.1 per cent. over the figure for the previous year,
but the average cost of each reported successful case remained the same. This was
mainly due, notwithstanding an increase in the total cost of establishment, to a slight
fall in the reported rate of success, which, in the opinion of Surgeon-Major Banner-
man, was a consequence probably of the greater accuracy of the figures. It is observed
that the ratios of success given in the table in paragraph 9 differ from the percentages
shown in Statement I, but the latter does not include dispensary vaccination which is
exhibited separately in Statement III. There was an improvement in the amount of
work done by all the agencies, except the municipal vaccinators, dispensary staffs, and
medical subordinates. In respect of the last two, vaccination was rendered optional
by G.O., No. 1066 L., dated 9th May 1892; but although this is the case, it was not
intended that these medical officers should not take every suitable opportunity which
presented itself in their practice of performing the operation. The great decline in
the number of vaccinations performed by them is not satisfactory; nor is the short
No. 1657 L., 30TH AUGUST 1897.

which was used in more than half the number of cases, continued to be lowest, being
86.2 against 90.5 per cent. with lanoline paste. Human lymph was used in only 226
cases by the Government vaccinators in the Ganjám hill tracts.
9. Mortality from small-pox.—The number of deaths from small-pox was 12,218
or 5,778 more than in 1895-96, the majority of the cases having occurred in the
district of Ganjám. From the diagrams referred to (in paragraph 25 of the report, it
appears that a steady and real advance has been made in the proportion of the total
population protected. Of every 10,000 persons, approximately 4,000 may be regarded
as protected in the district of Tinnevelly, and more than 3,000 in the Nilgiri, Chingle-
put, Salem and South Canara districts, while in Ganjám and Malabar the number
continued to be very low, being under 1,900. As regards municipalities, omitting
the three recently constituted municipalities of Chingleput, Srívilliputtúr and Tiru¬
vannámalai, the number of protected persons per 10,000 of the population varied
from 8,400 in Coonoor to 2,700 in Kumbakónam. The rates of mortality shown in
the diagrams do not, in all cases, vary inversely with the proportion which the
number of persons vaccinated bears to the total population, but this is attributable,
among other causes, to the defective registration of vital statistics. The suggestion
made by the Inspector of Vaccination in paragraph 24 of the report will be considered
in the Revenue Department.
10. General Remarks.—The reports received from the Sanitary Commissioner on
the subject of the reorganization of the Vaccination Department, and referred to in
paragraph 10 of G.O., No. 1346 L., dated 27th July 1896, are under the consideration
of Government. Dr. King's testimony to the good work done by Surgeon-Major
Bannerman is noted with satisfaction.
