Report of the progress made with animal vaccination, as required in paragraph 5 of
letter from the Government of India, No. 297 of 15th October 1890 (Madras
G.O. .No. 2882-L, dated 12th November 1890, Local and Municipal).
On the 21 st April 1890 Dr. Laing, the Sanitary Commissioner, drew up a
scheme for the extension, if not exclusive use, of animal lymph in the Madras
Presidency. He proposed that a better class of vaccinators should be entertained
and that the number of Deputy Sanitary Commissioners be raised from one to five.
He suggested that the number of depôts should, with few exceptions, be at least
one for each taluk and one for each municipality. Most of the depôts he selected
had either a hospital or dispensary, and were either the, or near the, head-quarters
of a tahsildar or deputy tahsildar.
This scheme was not put into operation as, a little later on, Dr. W. G. King
proposed a new method of preserving animal lymph by means of lanoline. On
the 15th November 1890 Dr. King was put on special duty to experiment with
his " lanoline vaccine," and during the year he introduced it into 12 districts.
Lanoline vaccine was still on its trial at the close of the year.
In the Tanjore district Surgeon-Major Nailer prepared a paste with calf
lymph and glycerine, which since has yielded good results.
In the Kurnool district vaccination was carried on solely with animal lymph,
the vaccinators travelling from village to village with inoculated calves and oper-
ating from calf to arm. It was estimated that each vaccinator would be able to
perform 500 cases monthly and probationers 150, but it was found necessary to
reduce these figures to 250 and 100 respectively. The results for the year were—
