ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 2523A. OF 1872.
FROM
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
NORTH WESTERN PROVINCES,
TO
THE SUPDT. GENERAL OF VACCINATION,
NORTH WESTERN PROVINCES.
DATED NYNEE TAL, THE 13TH JULY 1872.
SIR,
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
I AM desired to acknowledge the receipt, on the 17th June, of
your report on the operations of the Vaccination Department for the year
1871-72. The report is dated the 29th April, and is understood to have
been delayed in the Press.
2. The returns of Vaccination shew steady and continued progress.
The work done in the Native States of Bundelkhund, which are not pro-
perly a portion of the North Western Provinces, has been rightly excluded
from the statistics ; but it would be well if you in future added a para-
graph to your report in which an account of this work (as well as of the
work in the Principality of Rampore). should be given, in so far as it is
conducted under the supervision of your Department. Excluding it,
and the figures for Ajmere, the number vaccinated was 3,22,887 against
2,91,762 in the year before, an increase of 31,125, or 10.7 per cent. The
proportion of successful operations was 87.8, or 2 per cent. higher than
last year, when it was 85.7. The total cost of the Department was Rs.
82,317-10-0, (against Rs. 80,989 last year) and the cost of each success-
ful operation fell from 0-5-3 to 0-5-0. The only unfavorable feature is
the decrease of the work done per mensem by each vaccinator, which
fell from 239.2 to 221.
( 2 )
3. The following table shews the manner in which the work has
been distributed over each of the four circles into which the Department is
divided :—

There has been an increase in the number vaccinated in every circle,
most of all in Rohilkhund and Agra, and least in Benares. The percent-
age of success has improved in every circle except Benares, which has
slightly retrograded. But Allahabad is still by far the lowest in this res-
pect.
( 3 )
4. The number of vaccinators was 244 in 1870-71, and rose to 272,
exclusive of " Omedwars," in the present year. Of the increase two are
Government vaccinators appointed in Kumaon, 16 are paid by Municipali-
ties, and 10 by local subscriptions or private charity. This increase is
highly encouraging, and testifies both to an enlightened liberality on the
part of the donors, and to a growing appreciation of the benefits confer-
red by your Department.
5. The 28 local vaccinators are thus supported,:—six by Bhabur and
Terai Local Funds, one in Bareilly by subscriptions, four by the Raja of
Tehree in Gurhwal, five by Local Funds of towns in Moozuffernuggur,
six by similar funds in Humeerpore, three by the Rajahs of Rampoora,
Gopalpore, and Jugummunpore in Jaloun, one by local subscriptions in
Azimgurh, and two in Benares by the Maharajah of Vizianagram.
6. No mention is made of the progress of vaccination in the State of
Rampore. I am to draw your attention to Section IX. of the Agent's
Report, published at page 229 of the Annual Administration Report of the
North Western Provinces for 1870-71. It is there stated that vaccina-
tion had been experimentally introduced into one pergunnah in that
year. You should enter into communication with the Lieutenant Gover-
nor's Agent, and through him offer your assistance to His Highness in
organising and supervising the work of the Department, and you should
embody the returns of his vaccinators in your general statements.
7. The 58 Municipal vaccinators are maintained by 49 Municipali-
ties, and the Lieutenant Governor notices with pleasure the manner in
which nearly all Municipal Committees have come forward to comply
with his wishes in this respect. You mention 19 Municipalities that do
not maintain vaccinators. On this subject you will be separately addressed.
It is sufficient to say here that some of them have been only just started,
others no longer exist as Municipalities, and the rest have mostly entered
funds for the pay of a vaccinator in their Budgets for the current year.
8. In the Government review of last year's report attention was
drawn to the importance of comparing the work done by different classes
of vaccinators. The hint has not been followed up by you, and the
figures needed for such a comparison have been put together in this office.
The following table shews the number of each kind of vaccinators, the
number of operations performed by each class per mensem, and the
percentage of success :—

In Kumaon the locals do less work, and less well, than the Government
men, but they work at the foot of the hills, while the Government vaccina-
tors practise in Kumaon itself and can carry on work nearly all the year
round. In Rohilkhund there is a very striking difference; the Municipal
vaccinators do far less work, and do it less well, than the Government men.
In Meerut, Municipal are inferior to Government vaccinators: the local men
at Mozuffernuggur were specially unsuccessful (this will be noticed again
further on), and the Tehree, like the Kumaon vaccinators, work in the hills
all the year round. In Agra and Allahabad the Municipal have done
less work, but have done it better than the Government men. In Jhansie
the Municipal vaccinators have done very little work indeed, and the locals
less. In Benares the figures are not given in the full detail that is re-
quired, but the Municipal and local men together fell very far short of the
work done by the Government vaccinators.
9. These facts are calculated to excite considerable surprise. It
might have been supposed primâ facie that the town vaccinators not having
to travel from village to village, but finding their subjects collected close
to their hand, would have performed more operations than those who itine¬

tendent who has at all met the Lieutenant Governor's wishes in this
respect.
16. The Lieutenant Governor does not object to your proposal to
record low caste Hindoos separately from higher castes, but in reference
to this I am to draw your attention to letter No. 10-247, dated 12th June,
1872, from the Secretary to Government of India, Agriculture, Revenue
and Commerce Department, and to request you to communicate with the
Sanitary Commissioner in order to secure uniformity of classification.
17. Your attention is requested to the irregularity of the figures
regarding secondary operations, and some explanation should be given
concerning it. Dr. Pringle does not record a single one in his whole cir-
cle, nor did he record one last year. In the other circles great discre-
pancies exist. In Rohilkhund only 5 men out of 47 performed any; in
Allahabad 24 out of 73; in Benares 4 out of 37. It seems more likely
that there is a variation in the manner of recording these statistics, than
that the conditions under which the operation is performed should be so
exceptional.

19. His Honor notices with commendation the zealous care which
all the Superintendents have
taken to test the vaccinators'
returns, and to secure accurate
statistics of work done. Some
cases, however, are noticed in
the margin, where the number
of operations recorded seems suspicious, either for its absolute or for its
relative greatness. In each of these cases the Tehseel is out of the way,
and may not have been inspected by the Superintendent. In Budaon
the average is 529, and if the Goonour vaccinator really exceeded it so
greatly, securing also a percentage of success of 96.31, he worked excep-
tionally well. In Allahabad the Mejah man apparently did nearly four
times as much as the average of the district, which is 122. In Lullut¬
pore, while the vaccinators in the town and the Sudder Tehseel did 79
and 104 cases each, the Mebronee vaccinator, in the most out of the
way part of the district, records 318. The same remarks apply to Rus¬
sera and Pudrona. In Mirzapore, while in the city and the thickly popu-
lated northern parts the highest number of operations was 236 per men-
sem, we are asked to believe that a vaccinator in the wild and thinly peopled
parts around Robertsgunge vaccinated 670 people a month. Dr. Richard-
son does indeed specially refer to his success, and accounts for it by say.
( 8 )
ing that the vaccinator is a wealthy zemindar, and was aided by his bro-
ther ; but he does not report that he visited the Tehseel or personally
inspected his work.
20. The work done by the Kumaon and Gurhwal Vaccination
Depôts has been highly valuable, and the Lieutenant Governor concurs
in your remarks on the purity and efficiency of the virus stored there,
and distributed thence not only to the North Western Provinces, but to
all parts of India.
21. The subject of the employment of vaccinators throughout the
twelve-month has been much discussed during the year. Municipal vacci¬
tors are the servants of the Municipality, (under the general supervision
of the Superintendent of the Circle) and are generally employed in the Dis-
pensaries during the hot weather and rains. Government vaccinators have
hitherto been allowed to go to their homes during the recess, and you
represent that so long as they are not residents of the Districts where they
work, the withdrawal of this permission would certainly be followed by
their resignation. His Honor has accepted the force of this argument,
but has directed you to do all in your power to train up operators from
every district ; they working within their own districts would not require
a holiday to visit their homes, but could be utilised all the year round
in any work they are fit for. This is a better remedy than that of in-
creasing the pay, as proposed by you in your 10th para.
22. The Lieutenant Governor is glad to read your testimony to the
assistance rendered you by Magistrates and other District Officials in
inspecting and testing the work done. The present orders are that the
vaccinators' record of operations should be left with the Lumberdar of the
village. You think they will be more accessible if left in the Tehseel
and treated as a Government record. His Honor doubts if this would
be a successful plan ; but the opinion of the Board of Revenue will be
taken on the subject, and the most experienced District Officers consulted.
23. The failure of the attempt to entertain local vaccinators in
Mozuffernuggur, paying them out of the town funds, is noticed with regret.
It would probably have been better not to have restricted their operations
to the towns themselves; if extended to the neighbourhood, they might
have become more popular, and in that case the charge might have been
shared between the town funds and those of your Department.
24. Dr. Richardson's remarks on the difficulties which attend our at-
tempts to make inoculators give up their own craft and take to vaccination
are sensible, and have been read by His Honor with approval. The more
riskful remedy seems to an ignorant people the more effective; and the
inoculator is looked on as a man who heals a difficult and dangerous
disease. Possibly also the inoculator has an advantage over the vaccinator
in being able to practise his craft in the hot season when small pox is
most prevalent and most dreaded. But whatever the difficulties are,
they should not discourage the officers of your Department from con-
tinuing their efforts to convert this class of men, who may be as useful
as they now are dangerous to society.

25. I am also to draw attention to Dr. Richardson's remarks on
the use to which he has put his box of medicines and instruments. If
the field-hospital panniers he asks for are easily procurable, they should
be supplied to all Superintendents.
26. The Lieutenant Governor observes that you have not adverted
in. your report to the experiments made with animal vaccination. The
information given by Drs. Richardson and Watson is not very conclusive;
but as far as the experiments go, no absolute superiority over the ordi-
nary lymph seems to be established; and there is a suspicion that the
virus does not keep as well. The difficulty of the operation and the
odium incurred by native operators, are additional weights in the adverse
scale. A panic caused by any supposed outrage of the prejudices of the
people might throw back our endeavours and materially injure the case.
27. His Honor is gratified to see the number of Native gentlemen
and Officials who are reported to have done good service by assisting in
the spread of vaccination, and authorises you to convey to each of them
expressions of his approval.
28. In conclusion I am to express the Lieutenant Governor's satis-
faction with the results recorded in this year's report. His Honor
welcomes you back to a post you have so long and so honorably held,
and commends the care and ability with which Dr. Watson discharged
the duties of the office during your absence. The Superintendents, Drs.
Pringle, Watson, Milne, and Richardson, have shewn their usual devotion
to their duties, and are congratulated on the efficient state to which they
have brought the Department. Improvement is visible in all branches
of the work and though not rapid, is steady and sure.
I have the honor to be
