RAJPUTANA FOR 1911,
AND ON
VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1911-1912.
SECTION I.—SANITATION AND VACCINATION.
METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report 8.59 inches of rain were registered in
Ajmer against 17.19 inches in 1910, the
average for the previous six years being
20.74 inches. The rainfall during the monsoon season from June to September
was 9.23 inches less than the previous year when the fall was 16.47 inches
during the period.
Rainfall in Native States.
2. The rainfall recorded in Rajputana generally was unusually deficient
owing to which both the Kharif and Rabi
crops suffered; scarcity of fodder pre-
vailed throughout the province.
VITAL STATISTICS, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmer-Merwara.
3. There were 22,700 births registered in Ajmer-Merwara in 1911, against
20,355 in 1910, an increase of 2,345
which is due to a general healthier year.
Of the total births registered, 11,984 were males and 10,716 females, the birth
rate was 47.60 per mille of population against 42.68 per mille in the previous
year. The percentage of male to female births was 111.83 against 113.07 in
1910. The birth rate exceeded the death rate in 17 out of 23 circles against 9
in the previous year.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
4. During the year there were 21,182 deaths registered in Ajmer-Merwara
against 23,882 in 1910, a decrease of 2,700,
which is attributed to the absence of
plague and malaria. The death rate per mille of population was 44.41 against
50.08 in the previous year.
5. The mortality among children under five years of age was 54 per cent.
of the total deaths against 33 per cent. in 1910. Measles and small-pox
prevailed during the year. The mortality from small-pox was 1,432 as com-
pared with 78 in the previous year. Of these 1,243 deaths were reported in
the Ajmer District and 189 in Merwara, the epidemic was confined to unvacci-
nated persons.
6. Deaths from bowel complaints also show an increase due probably to
the scarcity of rainfall and deterioration of water supplies.
7. Deaths exceeded births in six circles which contain all the larger towns
in the district. The Civil Surgeon, Ajmer, reports that "this appears to
indicate that registration of births in the towns is defective, another element
is bad sanitation in the towns, overcrowding causing tuberculosis, etc."

VITAL STATISTICS AND SANITATION IN RAJPUTANA.
34. In the Marwar State 795 primary vaccinations were performed by-
Sub-Assistant Surgeons in dispensary towns with a recorded percentage of
success of 98.74. 172 vaccination operations were done by two Sub-Assistant
Surgeons at Sirohi and Sheogunj and 7 at Jaisalmer.
35. The Residency Surgeon, Jaipur, reports that the defects in the vacci-
nation work done in the different Thikanas still exist, but they are kept in view
and attempts are constantly being made to remedy them.
STATEMENT II.
36. The total expenditure on vaccination in Native States was R30,107-5-5
as compared with R29,978-4-9 in 1910-1911, an increase of R129-0-8 which is
due to the increased expenditure on establishment. The average cost of each
successful vaccination in different States varied from 12 pies in Sirohi to 113
pies in Jaisalmer, in the latter there is only a scanty population scattered over
a large area.
37. The following table shows the number of towns and villages and
successful vaccinations seen by Residency or Agency Surgeons in Native
States:—

38. The Native Superintendents of vaccination or other inspecting officers
inspected 104,192 vaccinations against 96,025 in 1910-1911. The percentage
of inspected cases found successful to total number seen in 1911-1912 was 98.38
against 98.65 in 1910-1911.
39. Lymph is generally maintained throughout the year in most of the
important States by arm to arm vaccination ; glycerinated vaccine lymph
was obtained during the year from the Government Bovine Lymph Depôts and
was generally successful.
40. The manufacture of glycerinated buffalo lymph has been commenced
at the Mayo Hospital Laboratory, Jaipur, and the results obtained were good,
153 operations were done with the result of 148 success.
41. The Residency Surgeon, Jaipur, writes : " that with a small extra cost
it could be supplied all over the district and thus do away with arm to arm
vaccination."
42. In accordance with the instructions contained in the Government of
India, Department of Education, letter No. 1507—1515 (Sanitary), dated the
16th August 1911, a summary has been added to Statement I showing the
particulars of vaccination. As no vaccinations are performed by " Dispensary
Staff " or by " other agencies " in Rajputana, except in the Western Rajputana
States where this work is done only by Sub-Assistant Surgeons in dispensary
towns, the information asked for in the Summary is not available.

SECTION II.—DISPENSARIES.
STATEMENT A.
Number of Dispensaries.
43. During the year there were 170 hospitals and dispensaries in Raj-
putana against 171 in the previous year. The Pokran dispensary worked
privately by the Thakur of that place submitted no returns this year.
The dispensaries are classified as under :—
I.— State Public . . . . .
II.—State special
.
.
.
.
.
V.—Private non-aided, i.e., Native States . . .

149
Besides these there are 8 Mission and 6 Railway dispensaries on the Rajputana-
Malwa Railway, and 2 on the Nagda-Muttra Railway within Rajputana
limits.
Improvements and additions to hospitals and
dispensaries.
44. Bikaner.—A new female hospital at Bikaner is in course of construc-
tion and also one for the Imperial Service
Troops which is badly needed, as the
Bhagwan Dass hospital is much over-
crowded.
45. Kotah.—The building of the new dispensaries at Bakani, Monoher
Thana, and Chechat was completed. At Baran an extra ward and an operating
theatre in addition to two upstair rooms to the Assistant Surgeon's quarters
have been sanctioned by the Kotah Darbar.
46. Mewar.—The hospital buildings at Untala are now ready but quarters
for the inferior staff have yet to be built. Arrangements are being made to
open the hospital there as early as possible.
STATEMENT B.
Attendance at Hospital.
47. During the year 1911 the number of patients treated at State Public,
State special, and private non-aided, i.e., Native States dispensaries and hospitals
amounted to 1,404,152 against 1,474,377 patients in 1910, and 1,545,204 in
1909. The attendance at general dispensaries fell to 1,368,168 from 1,430,256
in 1910 and 1,492,985 in 1909 while that at female dispensaries fell to 35,984
from 44,121 in 1910, and 52,219 in 1909. The total in-door attendance
decreased to 16,798 from 17,608 in 1910 and 19,141 in 1909, and the out-door
attendance fell to 1,387,354 from 1,456,769 in 1910 and 1,526,063 in 1909.
The deaths show a decrease from 720 in 1909 and 675 in 1910 to 633 in 1911
and the ratio of deaths per cent. of total treated also fell to 3.77, as compared
with 3.83 and 3.81 in the two previous years. Owing to the scanty rainfall
there was no malarial prevalence during the year.
STATEMENT C.
Diseases Treated.
48. The statement has been divided into two parts, one for the in-door and
the other for the out-door patients ; in addition the number of deaths under
each head of disease treated in the in-door department is shown in Statement
C (i). There was 16,798 in-patients treated, amongst whom 633 proved fatal;
46 normal and 34 abnormal confinements were reported from the various
hospitals, as compared with 43 and 45, respectively in 1910. 1,387,354 out-
door patients treated in 1911 are shown in Statement C (ii) against 1,456,769
in 1910.
SCURVY.
49. There were 1,503 scurvy cases treated against 1,087 in 1910 and 1,147
in 1909.
