ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT.
No. 505A. OF 1878.
FROM
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
N.-W. PROVINCES AND OUDH,
To
THE SUPDT.-GENL. OF VACCINATION,
N.-W. PROVINCES AND OUDH.
DATED NAINI TAL, THE 24TH JUNE, 1878.
SIR,
DICAL DEPARTMENT.
I AM directed to acknowledge your letters Nos. 327 and 328,
dated the 1st May last, submitting the reports on vaccination in the
North-Western Provinces and Oudh for the year 1877-78, and in reply to
communicate the following remarks and orders.
2. You have submitted separate returns for Oudh and for the
North-Western Provinces, and also separate reports on the progress of
vaccination in the two provinces. I am to request that in future the
statements be combined, and but one report submitted. The statistics
of the year are shown in the new forms prescribed by the Government
of India. One of the main differences between the old and the new forms
is that, in the latter, caste statistics have been omitted. The new forms
also are more compact and convenient.
3. Returns for the North- Western Provinces.—Your record of the
year's proceedings is somewhat brief, although the figures have been care-
fully analysed and the results of the year drawn out with clearness. But
something more might have been said about the measure of success with
which the staff of vaccinators is combating the prejudices of the people,
and breaking down the barriers of superstition. This can be estimated,
not so much by statistics, as by personal observation and practical experi-
ence, and your opinion on such a subject would have been valuable.
Brief however though the report is, it shows that the year's operations
have been highly successful. The results may be summarized as fol-
lows :—The number of vaccinators was 521 against 517 in 1876-77 : they
performed 704,055 vaccinations against 624,769, an increase of 79,286,
or 11 per cent. Of the primary cases, 591,045 were successful, against
509,708 in 1876-77. The increase in the number of vaccinators is due to
the addition of four paid from local funds. It is satisfactory to find that
the greater efficiency of the department, which the above figures indicate,
has not been attended by increased expenditure of public money. The
cost of State vaccination for the two years may be thus compared:—

The expenditure from local and municipal funds has somewhat increased,
nor can such funds be spent on a more appropriate object. But the cost
( 2 )
of vaccination to the provincial revenues was Rs. 15,000 less than in the
previous year, and in the present state of the finances this is an import-
ant consideration.
4. The average cost of each successful case has considerably fallen,
—being 3 annas against 3 annas 11 pies in 1876-77. The work done by
each vaccinator has increased, since the average number of persons
vaccinated by each has risen from 1,209 to 1,351. Nineteen persons out
of every thousand of the population were successfully vaccinated; but
if the assumed Indian birth-rate of 40 per mille be taken, the ratio of
successful cases to the birth-rate is 48. The ratio is higher than in any
former year, yet it is evident that double the number of persons must be
annually vaccinated before the birth-rate can be overtaken. In Kumaun
and Dehra Dún alone the work of the vaccinators more fully keeps pace
with the birth-rate. The average number vaccinated in the former divi-
sion for the last five years was 50.84 per thousand per year, and it rose
to 87 the thousand in the year under review. The following table exhibits
the extent to which vaccination has been pushed in the several divisions
of the province:—

The figures for the year under review show an improvement on the
averages for the last five years in the case of every division. The great-
est progress has been made in the Jhánsi Division. In the Jhánsi dis-
trict there were 11,363 successful vaccinations against an average of 3,297,
in Jalaun 15,471 against 9,232. The table would be more interesting, if
it could be held to prove that the death-rate from small-pox in each divi-
sion varied inversely with the percentage of successful vaccinations. It
unfortunately does not show this, although it furnishes strong proof of
the efficacy of vaccination as a protection against small-pox. The
exceedingly low death-rate in Kumaun may be ascribed with confidence
to the thoroughness with which vaccination has been there enforced by
the local authorities. There was, however, no epidemic this year. On the
other hand, in the Agra Circle, vaccination has made little progress, and
yet the death-rate is lower than in any other division except Kumaun.

8. In conclusion, I am to remark that in the current year the mor-
tuary statistics show that small-pox has been epidemic and very fatal.
They forcibly illustrate how great a scourge the disease is, and how im-
portant it is to guard the population from its ravages.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
C. ROBERTSON,
Secy. to Govt., N.- W. P. and Oudh.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON
VACCINATION
IN THE
NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES AND OUDH,
For the year 1889-90.
First separate report on
vaccination.
HITHERTO the annual statistical returns and notes on vaccination have been
included in the sanitary report; but under the orders of Go-
vernment of India, Home Department, Sanitary, No. 316, dated
7th October 1889, the annual report on vaccination is for the first time submitted
separately.
Area of administration
and operation.
2. The operations of the Vaccination Department extend over the whole adminis-
trative area of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh.
Acts in force.
3. The Vaccination Act (XIII of 1880) is in force in only a few limited areas :
and the practice of inoculation is prohibited in only those
localities to which Act XXIV of 1868 and Act XIII of 1880
have been extended.
Vaccination
establish-
ment.
4. The vaccination establishment consists of an administrative officer, the Sanitary
Commissioner, three Superintendents, Deputy Sanitary Com-
missioners, who combine sanitary with vaccination duties, seven
Deputy Superintendents, 25 first class Native Superintendents, 25 second class Native
Superintendents, 698 vaccinators, including vaccinators of all classes, whether paid from
district municipal and town funds or by contributions from private sources, and there
are besides 43 paid apprentices. The average number of vaccinators employed increased
from 677 in 1888-89 to 698 as noted.
Vaccination circles and
areas of superintendence.
5. There are three circles of superintendence, each in charge of a Commissioned
Medical Officer, the first with headquarters at Meerut, the
second with headquarters at Lucknow and the 3rd with head
quarters at Allahabad. The annexed map shows the extent of the circles of adminis-
tration and indicates the limited area in which the Vaccination Act is in force. The
1st Circle embraces 13 west and south-western districts and the hill tract north of
Dehra Dún; the 2nd Circle 21 chiefly the Central and Oudh districts, including the
Kumaun hill tracts; the 3rd Circle, 17 east and south-eastern districts, also the districts
of the Jhánsi Division and the hill tract of Garhwál.

Expenditure on vaccina-
tion.
7. The total expenditure on vaccination was Rs. 1,30,671-10-0 against
Rs. 1,31,960-13-9 in 1888-89. The sum expended includes the
pay and travelling allowances of three Deputy Sanitary Com-
missioners, who perform also sanitary in addition to vaccination duty. The sources
from which expenditure is met are provincial, local and municipal funds and
1
( 3 )
46.25 in the first period and 47.95 in the second period. The percentage of successful
primary operations in adult life to operations in the period of childhood is 5.80. These
percentages stand in marked contrast to those calculated on the number of vaccinations
performed in Lower Bengal, and the percentages of successful operations in that pro-
vince in 1888-89 were as follows :—
Under one year of age ... ... ... ...
Over one and under six years
...
...
...
Over six years of age ... ... ... ...
Percentage of
successful primary
vaccinations.
... 14.76
... 71.42
... 13.82
Such results indicate a very low standard of successful operations among the
infantile community, and a percentage of only 14.76 of successful primary operations
among children under one year of age is unsatisfactory.
The operations in the Panjáb, where the standard is higher and approximates more
to the standard of success in England, bring out this very clearly, and the percentages
in the Panjáb in 1888-89 were as follows :—
Under one year of age ... ... ... ...
Over one and under six years ... ... ...
Over six years of age ... ... ... ...
Percentage of
successful primary
vaccinations.
... 70.78
... 24.62
... 4.60
The standard of successful operations among the infantile community or children
under one year of age in the Bengal Presidency is indicated as follows :—

Panjáb ... ... ... ...
North-Western Provinces and Oudh ... ...

14.76
Percentage of successful

9.85
The anomaly of the returns of vaccination in Lower Bengal is that, although the
recorded number of successful primary operations is greatly in excess of the number
shown in these provinces, the proportion of infants vaccinated is very much less, and
the standard of operations accordingly much inferior to that in these provinces, while
the standard of either province compares very unfavourably with that of the Panjáb.

Animal lymph.
18. Animal lymph depôts on a small scale were established at Hardoi, Nawáb-
ganj, Unao and Lalitpur; and at the Lucknow depôt opera-
tions were carried on on a more extensive scale than formerly.
The Lucknow depôt is supported solely by the Municipality, but demands were made
on it for the supply of lymph to the district generally. A report on the subject of
the general extension of operations by the use of animal lymph, and the formation of
central animal vaccine depôts, was submitted to Government before operations of
1889-90 were begun.

Vaccination and the pre-
vention of small-pox.
20. It may be useful to record here facts relative to the value of vaccination in
the prevention and mitigation of small-pox. The following
tables are based on data calculated by the late Dr. Farr, and
on information formulated by John Simon, Medical Officer to the Privy Council and
republished by the Medical Officer of Health for one of the London districts :—
