F. PEARSON, SERGEON-MAJOR,
Superintendent General of Vaccination, North-Western Provinces.
ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 389A. of 1875.
FROM
THE OFFG. SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES,
To
THE SUPERINTENDENT-GENERAL OF VACCINATION,
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES.
DATED NAINI TAL, THE 16TH AUGUST, 1875.
SIR,
DEPARTMENT.
I AM directed by His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor to acknow-
ledge the receipt of your letters Nos. 18 and 19, dated the 17th and 15th
May, 1875, submitting the Vaccination Returns and Report of the North-
Western Provinces and Native States of Bundelkhand for the year
1874-75.
2. Reduction of report and appendices.—The report is concise,
sufficient and punctual. His Honor's suggestions as to its form have been
carried out, with the result that the bulk of the narrative portion has
shrunk from 31 to 10 pages, and the total, including appendices, from 56
to 34 pages. The appendices, instead of being given separately under
each circle, are now amalgamated, so as to show the results for the whole
Province together; and the form and substance of the report leaves no-
thing to be desired.
3. Strength of establishment.—The following table shows the
strength of the establishment during the year :—
Kumaun ... ...
Rohilkhand ... ...
Agra-Meerut ...

Benares ... ...

There has thus been an increase of 29 Government and two Municipal
vaccinators, and a decrease of eight local vaccinators in all, caused by
the abolition of contributions which were discovered to be not really vo-
luntary. The total number of vacciuators does not tally with the num-
ber (401) shown in the table in para. 1 of the report. The difference is
perhaps due to your having excluded certain temporary vaccinators en-
( 2 )
tertained in the Allahabad-Jhansi Circle, but it is absolutely necessary
to explain such causes of discrepancy between the appendices and the
text, of which many instances may be found in this as in previous reports.
You state in paragraph 27 that you have adhered to your own figures,
as you do not admit the accuracy of the alterations formerly made in
this office. With reference to this remark, it may be noted that this
office has no means, and never has had any, of checking your figures.
All that has been done is to point out contradictory statements, such as
that referred to in the commencement of this paragraph, and to apply
to your figures the principles of multiplication and division.
4. Increase in number of operations.—The total number of opera-
tions performed was 494,928, against 464,233 last year. Statement IV.
in the appendices shows a steady increase in the number of operations
performed year by year. In the last six years they have increased in
number by nearly 200,000, and greater success may be looked for in the
future. In a matter of this kind, where the obstacle to be contended with
is the prejudice of the people, success brings success.
5. Percentage of success in primary cases and secondary opera-
tions.—The general percentage of success in primary cases (445,901
in number) was 87.64, which shows a slight improvement over last year.
The decrease in the percentage of success in secondary operations is at-
tributed in great part to the large number of cases erroneously entered
as successful last year. There was a total of 49,027 secondary opera-
tions in all, as compared with 33,668 last year. The details, circle by
circle, are given beneath :—

With the exception of the Kumaun Division and the Hill tracts of
the Agra-Meerut Circle, operations were as usual confined to the five
cool months of the year.
6. Average number vaccinated monthly by each vaccinator.—The
average number vaccinated monthly by each vaccinator is given by you
as 264, against 250 last year. The different circles stand thus :—
Kumaun ...
Rohilkhand
Agra-Meerut
Allahabad-Jhansi
Benares ...

( 3 )
From this it will be seen that in Rohilkhand and Allahabad-Jhansi
the number has somewhat decreased. In Meerut-Agra it has remained
stationary, while in Benares and Kumaun it has increased : in the latter
circle very largely, which is owing to the great increase in the number
of secondary operations there.
7. Average number of operations performed by different classes of
vaccinators.—The average number of operations performed by each of
the different classes of vaccinators is as follows :—
Government vaccinators
Municipal
ditto
Local
ditto
Native Chiefs' ditto
...
...

The Municipal vaccinators have fallen off, and their low average is un-
satisfactory, arguing a want of interest on the part of Municipal Com-
mittees; but all others have improved in outturn of work.
8. Difference in outturn of work in the different vaccination
divisions.—The great differences in the outturn of work in the different
vaccination divisions were remarked on in para. 12 of the orders on last
year's report. There were found to be 16 places in which the average
number of operations performed each month exceeded 400. This year
there are 12 such places ; while there are 29 in which the average monthly
outturn is under 100. The places where the monthly outturn is under
50 are noted beneath:—

The high average of a wild and sparsely populated part like Roberts-
ganj is noticeable; and has been commented on in previous reports.
Doctor Richardson believes the return to be correct ; and if this be
so, it is highly creditable to the vaccinator. Of the rest, Farukhabad
stands highest, with a monthly average of 836. Where there is any
special reason to account for a particularly low average, and when
the figures do not speak for themselves, it would be well to add
a brief foot-note to explain the appendices. In Bulandshahr, for example,
it has been ascertained that the averages shown above are not the
( 4 )
averages per man, but the averages per place. If you think it well to
show the averages for the different towns, there can be no objection to your
doing so ; but they should be shown separately and not entered in a
column professing to show average work per vaccinator. I am also to
request that in future Superintendents should state precisely the number
of vaccinators personally inspected by them during the season, and the
numerical result in each case of their scrutiny.
9. Highest and lowest districts.—Looking at the highest and lowest
districts, the following results appear :—
Dehra Dun
...
Mainpuri
...
Etawah
...
377
322

Lalitpur
...
Jhansi
...
Fatehpur
...

10. Deaths from small-pox.—The Sanitary Commissioner's Report
for the past year shows, like your own, the recorded deaths from small-
pox as 93,247, against 97,093 in 1873-74. It is convenient that these
deaths should continue to be shown in the vaccination report year by
year; but as was proved last year, except in the Kumaun Division, it is
as yet impossible in the very imperfect state of the mortuary returns to
say that vaccination has sensibly affected the mortality from small-pox, or
to trace any connection between the number of deaths and the proportion
of the population left unprotected.
11. Number of successful primary operations.—The total number
of successful primary operations, as compared with last year, was as
follows:—
Kumaun ... ... ... ...
Rohilkhand ... ... ... ...
Agra-Meerut ... ... ... ...
Allahabad-Jhansi ... ... ... ...
Benares ... ... ... ...
1873-74.
36,990

1874-75.
36,066
87,007
133,381
53,114
50,279
The Allahabad-Jhansi Circle alone has sensibly decreased.
12. Percentage of vaccinations to births.—Assuming the births at
40 per mille, the percentage of vaccinations to births stands as follows:—
Rohilkhand ... ... ... ...
Agra-Meerut ... ... ... ...
Allahabad-Jhansi ... ... ... ...
Benares
...
...
...
...
...
37.06
29.62
16.60
13.36
In Kumaun there were more operations than births. The percent-
age for the whole province is shown as 29.95, being an increase of .95
over the preceding year. In the Central Provinces, where the system
of concentrating operations in a particular part of the country is being
tried, the proportion of infants vaccinated, per cent. of estimated births
in the protected part, stands as high as 57.66.
( 6 )
place at your disposal next year, with their proposals for distribution. It
will be generally found convenient that two towns should club together
to support a vaccinator in common. And the example of the Bijnor dis-
trict shows what can be done by arrangements in this direction.
17. Inoculators and inoculation.—His Honor completely agrees
with Dr. Richardson's remarks, quoted in para. 24, as to inoculators and
inoculation. When the protection offered to the people generally by
vaccination is complete, as it is in Kumaun and Garhwal, it will be quite
right to prohibit inoculation, and in these districts this has been done
by law.
18. Introduction into the department of a larger number of Native
Deputy Superintendents.—With the remarks in your second para., as to
Native Deputy Superintendents, the Lieutenant-Governor also con-
curs, and hopes that you will be able to carry out your intention of
introducing into the department a larger number of Native Superin-
tendents of good position. His Honor believes that if men of the proper
stamp can be obtained, there is no department in which native super-
vision would be more valuable, or more superior to any which we can
ever hope to obtain from Europeans, however well qualified.
19. The points to which attention is especially drawn in this review
of the year's report are:—
1.—The necessity of reconciling discrepancies in your figures,
whether in the reports of successive years, or in a single
year's report, (para. 3 ).
2.—The falling off, and low average of the work performed by
Municipal vaccinators, (para. 7).
3.—The propriety of showing in all cases the average of opera-
tions, per vaccinator, in addition to those performed per town,
should this last be also desired, (para. 8).
4.—The expediency of showing in all future reports the number
of vaccinators personally inspected by each Superintendent,
and the numerical result, (para. 8).
5.—The very unsatisfactory results in most of the districts of
the Allahabad and Benares Divisions, which His Honor
agrees with you in thinking is in great part due to apathy
and indifference of the District Officers. The attention of
the Commissioners will be called to this point, (para. 15).
6.— The extension of the system by utilising funds under Act
XX. of 1856, and the necessity of providing a further num-
ber of skilled vaccinators, (para. 16).
20. Acknowledgment of aid rendered by European and native offi-
cers and gentlemen.—The Lieutenant-Governor desires in conclusion cor-
dially to acknowledge the aid rendered by Messrs Moore, Lambe, Boulder-
son, E. White, Ross, Lumsden, and Oldham, and to add that the thanks
of Government will be communicated to each of the native officers and
gentlemen who have assisted in the cause of vaccination during the year;
