VACCINATION IN THE BUNDELCUND NATIVE STATES, 1872-73.
No. 509.
FROM
SURGEON-MAJOR F. PEARSON,
Supdt.-General, Vaccination, N.-W. Provinces,
To
C. A. ELLIOTT, ESQUIRE,
Secretary to Government, N.- W. Provinces.
DATED ALMORAH, THE 1ST JUNE, 1873.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward Dr. Watson's Annual Report on Vaccination
in the Bundelchund States for 1872-73.
2. The amount of work done by each vaccinator is small in amount, being only
69 per mensem; but the quality is satisfactory, showing 84 per cent. successful. The
increase in the number of Native Superintendents (from 3 to 9) is a step in the right
direction. I trust that the rajahs may be induced in time to follow the system in
vogue in these Provinces, for until that is done, vaccination can never be brought
within the reach of the poor.
I have, &c.,
F. PEARSON,
Supdt.-General, Vaceination, N.-W. Provines.
No. 61, Camp, Almorah, 18th May, 1873.
From WILLIAM WATSON, ESQ., M.B., Supdt. of Vaccination, Allahabad and Jhansie
Division.
To—F. PEARSON, ESQ., Supdt.-Genl. of Vaccination, N.-W. Provinces.
SIR,—I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of Vaccination in the Bun-
delcund Native States for the year 1872-73.
The Bundelcund vaccine establishment consists of a Native Superintendent, who
is paid Rs. 50 a month, and who has his head-quarters at Nowgong; and of eight
Assistant Native Superintendents, who each receive a monthly salary of Rs. 20 during
winter, and Rs. 16 during summer. Of the eight Assistant Native Superintendents,
the States of Orcha, Duttia, Punna, and Churkaree each entertain one. The remain-
ing four are paid for by the minor states, which are arranged for the purpose into
groups.
Beside this, there are 66 vaccinators, who are generally the hereditary baids and
suttiahs (surgeons and oculists) of the various states. These men have been taught
vaccination, and practise it with more or less success, but they receive no pay in their
capacity of vaccinators. As baids or suttiahs, they hold rent-free lands from the rajahs
of the states.
This arrangement is admirably suited for the introduction of vaccination into
independent territory; but it is evident that it would be unreasonable to expect such
vaccinators to vaccinate as many children as is done by the regular vaccinators in
the North-Western Provinces,
( 65 )
to take a more active interest in the work, while the number of vaccinations among the
upper classes of the people will give confidence to the masses. The Native Superintend-
ent, Rujjab Ali Khan, is a capital man, enthusiastic about his work, and very clever
in pushing it. He seems to be on excellent terms with the authorities in all the states,
and shows great tact and good sense in the way he deals with them."
The extracts given above are taken from three letters of Dr. Harvey, written re-
spectively on the 24th January, the 6th February, and the 26th February. In con-
clusion, I have only to mention that I hope to be able to inspect all the Bundelcund
States in the course of the ensuing vaccine season. Next year I will commence my tour
in the Allahabad and Jhansie Circle by inspecting the Zillahs of Oraie, Jhansie, and Lul-
lutpore, taking at the same time the Independent States, and leaving the Allahabad
Division of my circle till the end of the season. I have no particular recommendations
to make, as I believe that the present vaccine arrangements are most efficient. They
were organized entirely by the Political Agent, Dr. Stratton.
The expense to the various states is very small, and considering the expenditure,
the work done is very satisfactory, with the solitary exception of the work done in the
States of Ajighur and Jignee.
I have, &c.,
W. WATSON, M. B.,
Supdt. of Vaccination, Allahabad and Jhansie Division,
and Independent States of Bundelcund.

ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 2192A. OF 1873.
FROM
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES,
TO
THE SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL OF VACCINATION,
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES.
DATED NYNEE TAL, THE 9TH SEPTEMBER, 1873.
SIR,
GENERAL. DEPARTMENT.
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your report on the
operations of the Vaccination Department in the North-Western Provinces
during the year 1872-73. The report, although dated 29th April, 1873,
was not received in this office from the Press until the 24th June.
2. The year has been one of considerable progress. The number
of persons vaccinated was 4,14,416 against 3,22,887 in 1871-72. This
increase of 91,529, or 28 per cent., has been attained by a very large in-
crease in the staff of operators. The proportion of successful cases to
all operations, excluding those in which the result was unknown, was
87.03 against 87 8, which is a slight falling off; but in primary
operations alone the proportion is 88.7 against 88.4 last year. The
number of vaccinators of all classes has increased by 90, being now
362; but it was not to be expected that the amount of work done would
increase at first in the same proportion. Accordingly, the average num-
ber of operations performed by each vaccinator during the vaccine sea-
son fell from 1,187, or 237.4, per mensem to 1,144 or 229 per mensem.
As however the increase of establishment was chiefly in the lower ranks,
the cost of each successful case fell from five annas to four annas six pie.
3. The subjoined table shows the numbers and results of primary
and secondary operations in the different circles:—

Compared with the great increase in the number of primary operations,
which were slightly more successful than last year, the increase in the
re-vaccinations, accompanied with a very much lower percentage of
success, is remarkable. Operations of this class are only common in
Kumaon, that being the only Division in which vaccination is of suffi-
ciently long standing for the children operated on to have grown up to
an age requiring its repetition. But your explanation of the want of suc-
cess, and of the fallaciousness (as you term it) of the returns, is not
understood. The supervising officers should exercise too stringent a
check to allow of the returns being largely falsified, whether this is done
intentionally or (as you seem to imply) through ignorance.
4. The following table shows the extent of protection afforded in
the different circles, the figures of population being those of the recent
census, and secondary operations being excluded :—

6. Out of the total number of primary operations, 22.8 per cent. only
were performed on chil-
dren under one year of
age. This shows a con-
siderable falling off as
compared with last year,
when the percentage
was 34, and the decrease
is common to all the
circles.
