N.B.—Information for the official year is not available, as some of the municipalities have not furnished returns
for March 1896. The above statement was prepared as far as information was available.
13. The work of Government vaccinators shows continuous increase during
the three years under review. The cost of each successful case was 7 annas 11
pies. Gunupur is the only range showing a decrease (1,266) accounted for by the
Deputy in charge by failure of lymph supply from the depôt. The Senior Assistant
Agent, however, does not support him, maintaining that as latterly good lymph was
plentifully supplied, the vaccinators should have made up the deficiency. He
further adds that the " working of the vaccine staff of this part of the agency is
by no means good in 1895-96. During my recent tour in the Gunupur agency,
I found the majority of the school children were, in Gunupur and its hamlets,
unvaccinated. While I was travelling from Gudari to Karlaghati in the Gunupur
Agency, I had to pass through the village called Sambarlandi, where there were
many children not vaccinated. During my short stay there I got a good many
cases operated in my presence, and in no case was there any difficulty in inducing
the parents to produce their children. I quote this instance to show that the
vaccinators are very inactive." In many of these outlying parts great difficulty is
experienced in getting the vaccine paste conveyed to the vaccinators in time, and
so a large number of cases fail. This would be obviated if a better preservative
than glycerine has proved itself to be, were to be employed.
14. The work in zamindaries is practically the same as last year and the cost
was 3 annas 11 pies, an increase of 6 pies. The remark above about the difficul-
ties of supplying lymph to these men applies here also.
15. As remarked above the numbers vaccinated in dispensaries shows a
decrease, the exact number being 7,209, with a percentage success of 87.5.
16. Medical subordinates show a gradual fall for the three years which has
been explained above. The small ratio of success attained may be easily explained
when it is remembered that the cases operated on by them present themselves at
rare intervals only, and that therefore the paste is probably old and ineffective
when applied.
17. Vaccination in cantonments shows an increase of 1,627, with a ratio of
success of 88 per cent. The cost of each successful case is 8 annas 1 pie.

tors of Vaccination during the year :—
