doubling of the establishments of those zillahs having been sanctioned from November
1st, 1874. The Shabjehanpore zillah is now the only one in the Rohilkhund Division
with a single vaccinator for each tuhseel. I propose that this zillah may be doubled from
November 1st, 1875; Rohilkhund will then enjoy two vaccinators to every tuhseel—an
amount of strength which will admit of every village and town being visited from every
two to three years. A female vaccinator has been employed by the Bareilly Municipality
during the past season, under the superintendence of the Civil Surgeon. Dr. Cor-
byn has kindly furnished me with the results of her work. The number of her cases is
extremely poor, being only an average of 35 per mensem ; but the quality (if reliably
stated) is good, being as high as 89.15 per cent. successful in primary cases. As stated
elsewhere, I object to this shambling kind of vaccination, and of each municipality
being allowed to indulge in its own fancies and practice ; being of opinion that the
Vaccine Department is the proper and only power to whom all vaccine duties should
be entrusted. Our experience, and the possession of ample means adapted to the end
in view, far exceed any advantages supposed to be derived from mere local considerations.
