VACCINATION REPORT.
6. The districts which show the largest increase are Malabar (26,818), Madura
(18,825), Trichinopoly (15,862), Tinnevelly (15,776), Kistna (12,441), Ganjám
(10,091), Cuddapah (9,865), Guntúr (9,674), Vizagapatam (7,670), Nellore (7,383),
Kurnool (5,445), South Arcot (5,296), North Arcot (4,371), Bellary (3,696), Coim¬
batore (2,134), South Canara (1,675), and Anantapur (1,627). The increase is
due to (1) the ample supply of lanoline paste from the King Institute of Preventive
Medicine, (2) the raising of the minimum of second and third-class vaccinators to
that of first-class vaccinators as per G.O., No. 185-M., dated 29th January 1904, and
(3) the exertion of vaccinators lest they should lose their appointments. Three dis-
tricts show a decrease, viz., Salem (2,038), Gódávari (1,530) and Tanjore (1,136).
The explanations of decrease offered by the Deputy Inspectors of these three
districts are given below :—
Salem.—Outbreak of plague, absence of vaccinators without substitutes,
absence of small-pox.
Gódávari.—Diminished prevalence of small-pox compared with the previous
year, inferior quality of the glycerinized lymph supplied during April to July 1904,
absence of vaccinators without substitute.
Tanjore.—Non-entertainment of temporary vaccinators unlike the previous
year, absence of vaccinators without substitute.
