Gurdáspur and Siálkot Districts.
Inoculations 7,180.
16. As there was but one medical staff common to the two districts of Gurdáspur
and Siálkot during the epidemic of plague
of 1900-01, it will be convenient to combine
the inoculations performed during this epide-
mic in these two districts together, instead of separately, though separate statistics for each
district will be given.
17. As will appear from the introduction, the epidemic of plague was limited,
except for a small outbreak in Siálkot City, to the adjoining Shakargarh and Zafarwál
Tahsíls of the Gurdáspur and Siálkot Districts.
In these two tahsíls, which may be considered as one infected area, with a population
of 408,353, 125 villages were infected, and 5,321 cases of plague with 3,285 deaths occurred :
7,180 persons were inoculated in this area, of whom 44 were attacked with plague and
19 died.
Considering the extent of the outbreak the number of inoculations performed is not
large.
18. Both plague and inoculations were, however, quite new to the people, and
much difficulty was experienced in persuading them to accept inoculation or any other
measure to check the disease.
The number of inoculations performed was, however, much larger than the number
performed in the Jullundur and Hoshiárpur Districts during the first epidemic of plague
in the Punjab in 1897-98,
19. For some time inoculations were confined to officials—reservists and others em-
ployed on cordon duty and disinfecting coolies—who were required to submit to the opera-
tion as a condition of their employment, and, as will be seen on reference to Statements
Nos. 2 and 3 attached, of the total number of persons inoculated, 2,810 were members of
the classes just mentioned.

20. Inoculations were performed in 20 villages in the Shakargarh Tahsíl and in
14 villages in the Zafarwál Tahsíl Of these 34 villages, 5 were uninfected. In very few
villages was any considerable proportion of the inhabitants inoculated, and as in most
cases inoculation was only begun after evacuation had been completed and the outbreak of
plague thereby checked, conditions did not exist except in a very few instances which would
permit of the estimation of the protection afforded by inoculation.
Of the 44 attacks among inoculated persons, 19 of which were fatal, 14 cases
with 4 deaths occurred among disinfecting coolies ana 8 cases with 3 deaths among the
members of the cordon levy.
21. At Ghamrola, a village in the Shakargarh Tahsíl, with a population of 1,386,
705 inoculations were performed, shortly after the discovery of plague there on December
3rd, 1901. As by this time a large number of persons had fled, the inoculated outnum-
bered the uninoculated population, though to what extent cannot be determined with cer-
tainty.
Of the 53 plague cases and 43 deaths which occurred at this village, only 5 cases,
4 of which however were fatal, occurred among inoculated persons.
22. In two villages, Birári and Bholián, which, from their proximity to other
villages, seemed to be especially liable to outbreaks of plague, a large proportion of the
inhabitants were inoculated with the hope of averting such outbreaks.

This is in great contrast to the previous year in which, as will have been seen
from the extract from the Inoculation Report for that year given above, that of the
293,628 inoculations then performed all but about 30,00 had been performed after the epi-
demic had come to an end. The number of inoculations performed during the present was
thus far larger than that in any previous epidemic in the Punjab.
*Appendix I.
42. Details of these inoculations are shown in Statements A*, B,* C* in the
Appendix. Statement C shows the inocu-
lations performed in the two districts, while
Statements A and B refer only to infected villages, and show not only the inoculations
performed in the present but those in the previous year. Statements A and B are really
but parts of one statement showing all the infetced villages in the two districts with the
number of cases, deaths and inoculations, with certain other particulars: the division has
been made for reasons which will appear later.
43. As in the early part of the epidemic evacuation, disinfection and other
measures were promptly resorted to in addition to inoculation, it is not possible to
determine with any exactitude the effect of any one of these measures upon the
outbreaks. And though later on measures were not so promptly taken, the great pressure
of work rendered it impossible to ascertain with the same degree of firmness the inci-
dence of plague among the inoculated and uninocculated portions of the population of
infected villages. For these reasons therefore, in spite of the very large number of inocula-
tions performed during this epidemic, but few reliable statistics are available to show
the results of inoculations in individual villages.
44. Moreover, as there were no cordons—as there were in former years—to prevent
persons leaving infected villages, the actual population and consequently the proportion
between the inoculated and uninoculated portions of the population of infected villages
can in no instance be determined with accuracy.
45. Although it is known that some persons fled from infected villages, it is believed
that the proportion of the population which left their villages during outbreaks of plague
in them was so small as to be almost negligable. In this connection it may be remarked
that in an almost purely agricultural population, such as that of the infected parts of the
Jullundur and Hoshiárpur Districts, the necessity for attending to the crops—especially
shortly before and during harvest, when \ill\agae was most prevalent—made flight
almost out of the question for the great majority of the people.
46. Fuller information has been obtained regarding certain villages and of
others, and a statement has been prepared—Statement No. 7 attached—in which have
been shown the incidence and fatality of plague among the inoculated and uninoculated
portions of the population of those villages concerning which information is most com-
plete and reliable.

47. It should be noted that the terms " inoculated" and " uninoculated" refer
to the present season only, persons not inoculated during the present season being
considered, for the purpose of this statement, as uninoculated.
48. It will be seen that while conditions vary considerably in different villages,
the inoculated population are in the great majority of instances much better off
both as regards the incidence and fatality of plague than are the uninoculated.
Even the uninoculated, however, are a good deal better off in these respects than
they were in previous epidemics. Compare the fatality of plague among the uninoculated
in the above statement (No, 7) with that of previous epidemics, as shown in the table below—

In this table cases and deaths among inoculated persons are also included. The case
mortality shown is thus slightly—-though very slightly—less than the actual. The differenee
however is so small as to be negligeable for the present purpose.
49. It will be seen that, while in 1897-98 the case mortality of plague among the
uninoculated was 61 94 per cent., in 1898-99, 53 94 per cent, and in 1899-1900, 61 70 per
cent., it was only in the villages named in Statement No. 7, 52 15 per cent,
The peculiar circumstances of this year 1898-99 will be referred to later.
