VACCINATION REPORT.
might, however, with advantage, be made compulsory in certain large compact
unions.
From reports received it appears that the deputy inspectors have noticed 31
cases of small-pox occurring after successful vaccination; all the cases were
reported to be mild.
In the whole of my experience I have never heard of a case of leprosy in this
Presidency being traceable to vaccination ; neither have I ever heard the danger of
inoculation with leprosy advanced by the people as an excuse for not submitting to
vaccination.
27. There being no reserve, it sometimes happens that when a deputy inspec-
tor takes short leave, a vaccinator of the same district is put in charge of his office,
but no proper supervision is exercised over the other vaccinators and the work falls
off. The salary available for the acting man is so small that it does not pay to send
a vaccinator, competent to act, from any great distance. For this reason it would be
well to have a reserve of two second-class deputy inspectors who would draw pay
from Provincial funds when not employed by District Boards. These reserve
men would ordinarily remain in Madras for thorough training in animal vaccina-
tion ; they could at any time relieve other deputies who had to come to the Madras
depôt to learn the work.
28. A new statement, No. V, showing particulars of vaccination verified by
inspecting officers, is added to the report. The order regarding this statement
was received during the year. The numbers verified by commissioned officers are
small; some of the Civil Surgeons did not clearly understand what was required
and submitted reports which were of no use. The practice hitherto pursued by
most of the District Surgeons and by myself was to examine, on our visits to a
town or village, a number of children in the streets and in schools and to note the
proportions vaccinated, marked by small-pox, and unprotected.
29. During the year one deputy inspector died, and one retired on a pen-
sion. One first-class deputy was reduced to second-class, and two second-class
men were reduced to the grade of vaccinator for misconduct. Nine deputies
were fined for various offences.
First-class Deputy Inspectors M. Buthroodeen, Rajahmundry Range, and
C. Soobroya Chetty, Madras Town, deserve praise for the way in which they
have conducted their duties.
30. The service registers of the Deputy Inspectors of Vaccination have been
maintained and brought up to date, with the exception of seven, belonging to men
recently promoted, which are now under verification.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
DONALD F. DYMOTT, Surgeon-Major, M.B.,
Inspector of Vaccination and Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner, Madras.

for Madras, dated Fort St. George, 16th June 1894, No. 825—A.
I have the honour to submit statistical returns and brief notes on vaccination
in the Madras Presidency for the official year 1893-94.
2. Surgeon-Major D. F. Dymott, M.B., was in office from the beginning of the
year up to 31st August when he resigned, from which date I have been in charge.
He visited the districts of Vizagapatam, Malabar, Coimbatore, South Arcot, and
Nilgiris, and inspected the towns of Anákapalle, Cochin, Coimbatore, Erode, Karúr,
Chidambaram, Cuddalore and Coonoor as well as eight villages.
I have visited the following districts, viz.:—Bellary, Anantapur, Cuddapah,
North Arcot, Salem, Malabar, South Canara, Chingleput, and Ganjám, and in-
spected the towns of Adóni, Bellary, Anantapur, Cuddapah, Tirupati, Wallajapet,
Vániyambádi, Tiruppattúr, Salem, Palghat, Tellicherry, Cannanore, Mangalore,
Conjeeveram, Berhampur, Parlákimedi and Chicacole as also 18 villages in these dis-
tricts. From this list it must be evident that a large part of the time of the Inspector
of Vaccination is diverted to purely sanitary work, and that in consequence the
superintendence of Deputy Inspectors, and checking of results are not so thoroughly
carried out as they ought to be. For the purpose of obtaining an insight into the
actual working of the Deputy Inspectors, I made a special tour of 28 days through
the three ranges of the Cuddapah district and, as a result of the verification of 1,707
cases of vaccination, found that wrong entries had been made in 282 cases, and that
in 81 of these the Deputy Inspectors had failed to make the necessary corrections.
I regard it as proved—as has been long suspected—in consideration of results
there secured, taken in conjunction with various other matters that have come
to my notice, that the vaccination statistics of this Presidency are only approxi-
mately correct, and that the large percentage of success claimed is more or less
apocryphal.
