GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION No. 521, 23RD APRIL 1861.
The Governor in Council has perused, with much interest, the Report of
the Principal Inspector-General of the Medical Department on the state of
Vaccination in this Presidency during the years 1858 and 1859. It is on the
whole satisfactory.
2. The delay in issuing the Report, although sufficiently accounted for, is
to be regretted, as much of the interest which attaches to such periodical
statements is lost if they are not quickly forwarded. The Principal Inspector-
General should therefore be requested to arrange that the Annual Report for
1860 be prepared and submitted at as early a date as possible. If the full
details which are considered necessary to be published cannot be prepared
before the 1st May of each year, a brief sketch of the working of the Depart-
ment should, in the first instance, be sent in to Government.
3. According to the returns now submitted, the total number of vaccina-
tions performed throughout the Bombay Presidency average about (2½) two
and a-half lacs per annum, and that of these it is stated about one-tenth are
failures. His Excellency the Governor in Council trusts that these
figures may represent, with tolerable accuracy, the work performed ; but
from the remarks in the Principal Inspector-General's 9th, 10th, and 11th
paragraphs, and in the Superintendents' Reports, and from his own observation,
he cannot doubt that the Native Vaccinators are in the habit of exaggerating,
to a certain extent, the number and success of their operations, and
considers that such conduct should, when detected, be invariably followed
with instant dismissal and prohibition from re-entering the public service
in any capacity. The Governor in Council understands, from the 6th
paragraph of Dr. Rooke's letter, that one of the objects of setting forth
the number of unsuccessful cases and comparing them with the successful, is
to judge of the ability of the operators and of the quality of the vaccine
lymph employed. If the result is as shown in the returns, it seems satisfac-
tory in both these respects.
4. In speaking of the quality of the vaccine lymph, the several Superin-
tendents all report favourably regarding it. According to Dr. Martin, there was
" no difficulty in preserving it (in Sind) through the hot weather." In Bom-
bay it is reported to be " of good quality ;" in the Concan Division " could not
I
78
be surpassed in excellence;" in the Northern Deccan Division it was " of excel-
lent quality;" in the Southern Deccan " good throughout;" in Eastern Guzerat
" good and effective;" and in Western Guzerat" generally good."
5. The mode of securing and forwarding vaccine matter, mentioned by
Dr. Davey,* should be widely made known, and thus, perhaps, such statements
as those made by the Civil Surgeon, Surat, viz. that " all attempts to renew
the lymph had failed," and again in the following year "deteriorated and
never renewed," may, in future, be avoided. The Civil Surgeon, Ahmedabad,
it should be observed, appears to have always had abundance of lymph
available to meet the want of neighbouring; medical officers. Surat should
therefore have been supplied from thence; for besides Surat being the head
quarters of the Superintendent of the Eastern Division of Guzerat, it was that
officer's duty, as a well as that of the Civil Surgeon, to insure the propagation
and continuance of good lymph at Surat; and it is strange that the want of
it should have escaped observation..
6. Bombay.—The Governor in Council regrets to learn, from the very
creditable report of Sub-Assistant Surgeon Anunta Chundroba, that so many
obstacles exist in the Island of Bombay to the progress of vaccination. Only
8,000 vaccinations are reported to have been performed by the Government
Establishment, which seems but a small number out of the large population of
this Island. Some of the remarks in the Sub-Assistant Surgeon's report
suggest a doubt, in which His Excellency fully concurs, whether the sub-
stitution of vaccination at stations for domiciliary visits has been a judicious
measure. The Principal Inspector-General should report on this question.
The malpractices of peons, now brought to notice, should hereafter be
particularly reported on.
Concan.—It is satisfactory to Government to be informed of the steady
progress of vaccination in the Tanna Collectorate through the exertions of
Dr. Beatty, judiciously assisted, as he has been, by the Collector. Government
trusts that there will be no falling off in the numbers vaccinated in the Rutna-
gherry Collectorate by the discontinuance of the percentage system of pay-
ment, which, for the reasons given, was an advisable step.
Northern Deccan.—The Superintendent of the Northern Deccan Division
appears to have bestowed much thought upon the organization of the Depart-
ment, to the defects in which be attributes the stationary condition of the
returns. In this he is borne out by several of the Superintendents ; and the
subject should be reported on by the Principal Inspector-General in connec-
tion with the new scheme of vaccination which Government have lately
ordered to be carried out.

Guzerat (Eastern Division).—The reports of vaccination in the Eastern
Division of Guzerat for both years are most meagre, and indicate an amount
of supineness on the part of past Superintendents, which should have received
more timely check from the Medical Department.
Guzerat (Western Division.)—Several of the suggestions made by the Su-
perintendent in his Report for 1859 appear worthy of attention, and should be
acted upon, as far as possible, under the new system. In the Report for 1859
the want of assistance, on the part of the local native authorities, is brought
to notice. Under the views of Government, as above expressed, it is hoped
this will not be repeated.
Sind.—In this province the reverse appears to be the case ; for Dr.
Martin reports, in 1858, that " the successful working of the Establishment
is in a great measure due to the assistance and countenance of the Collectors
and Deputy Collectors of the province ; " and in 1859 he reports the same
expressions, but in stronger language. The Governor in Council, though
inclined to attribute the very large percentage of successful operations to the
returns having been to some extent falsified, agrees with the Principal In-
spector-General " that there can be no doubt that Dr. Martin has gained the
confidence of the people, and is entitled to great praise ;" and is also glad to
acknowledge the cordial assistance which the District Civil Officers have at
all times afforded to Dr. Martin.
Kattywar.—The very clear statement of the rise and progress of vaccination
in Kattywar by Dr. Lord, shows the interest he has taken in the work.
7. There does not appear to be anything in the other reports which call
for particular remark.
