Etah, Mr. Low of Etawah, Mr. Simson of Agra, Mr. Williams of Moozuffernuggur,
and Mr. Ross of Dehra, as examples that might be followed with advantage by their
Civilian brethren. The undermentioned European and native gentlemen are mentioned
by Dr. Richardson as having been conspicuous in their assistance to the cause of vaci-
-ation :—Dr. Jackson of Mynpoory, Dr. Reid of Futtehgurh, and Dr. Maclaren of
Dehra; Girdharee Lall, Tuhseeldar of Ferozabad ; Ahmed Khan and Hussein Khan,
members of the Khoorja Municipality; and Luchmun Suroop, Honorary Magistrate of
Secundrabad. From November 1st, 1874, a deputy superintendent has been sanctioned
for this circle, and the vaccinators in the Moozuffernuggur zillah will be doubled. I
would recommend that from November 1st, 1875, the Allygurh and Boolundshuhur
zillahs be doubled in strength: this will complete the doubling in the Meerut Division
(excepting Dehra Doon, which does not need it); and then the Agra Division can be
similarly dealt with hereafter. The year 1873 was very deadly as regards small-pox.
Every fourth year appears, according to statistics, to be distinguished by a considerable
epidemic of this disease; and the hot months of each year are the special season favour-
able to its rise and spread.
