In three districts the work decreased.
Coimbatore last year also showed a decrease. The decrease this year is
attributed to (1) the introduction and sudden discontinuance of Dr. King's paste ;
(2) the extraordinary scare produced by the scarificators; (3) cholera and small-
pox epidemics.
The decrease in Kurnool occurred mainly in the Cumbum range. The causes
appear to be (1) reduction of the minima for vaccinators from 500 and 150 to 250
and 100 respectively; (2) the prevalence of influenza, cholera and general distress,
The marked fall in the number of cases done in Trichinopoly was mainly due
to the suspension, for three and-a-half months, of the Deputy Inspector. This
man was subsequently reduced and transferred to another district.
In most of the districts a good deal of the vaccinators' time was taken up in
connection with learning how to work with lanoline-vaccine. In July the lanoline-
vaccine supply was suddenly stopped, and other methods of carrying on vaccina-
tion had to be re-started. Some districts were left quite without lymph. A large
additional number of returns and correspondence, in connection with Dr. King's
experiments, interfered with the other duties of the staff.
In addition to distress, owing to failure of rain in nine districts, there was
much cholera in the Presidency. In the Kistna District vaccinators were put on
cholera duty for some time as they had no lymph, and cholera was severe.
The order on the final report on the lanoline-vaccine scheme was received in
this office on the 29th September 1891. No definite action could be taken till its
receipt.
The percentage of success declined from 94.5 to 93.0. This, no doubt, is
mainly due to the changes in the kind of lymph used.
