Summary of Allahabad report.
60. In the Allahabad municipality, Register I was fully maintained. The total
number of notices served under section 17, including
summonses under section 18 of the Act was 2,909. In
no case was it found necessary to inflict punishment. The parties after being sum-
moned by the Magistrate were given 24 hours' time to appear at the depôts, and all
responded.
On the whole Act XIII of 1880 has worked very smoothly in Allahabad. There
were 6,316 primary vaccinations and 30 re-vaccinations. The operations were carried
on with bovine lymph at three centres, namely Katra, Colvin Hospital and Kydganj
Pure bovine lymph drawn on ivory points was used up to 8th February, but after that
date lanoline lymph prepared under the direction of the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner
was used with success.
In the district, there was a total of 31,846 primary vaccinations and 135 re-vacci-
nations, as compared with 29,392 and 156, respectively, in 1892-93.
Summary of Hamírpur report.
61. In the Hamírpur district, 17,830 primary operations were performed against
14,152 in the previous year. The Superintendent
was on tour for 42 days, and examined 3,217
cases. The lymph was of good quality and sufficient in quantity. The attitude
of the people was favourable to the operation. The conduct of the Vaccination
Staff was on the whole favourable, and much assistance was given by the district offi-
cials. The Assistant Superintendent is commended for his work.
Summary of Jaunpur report.
62. In the Jaunpur municipality, 1,910 operations were performed against 1,818
in the previous season. 1,357 cases were inspected
by the Superintendent and Assistant Surgeon. The
registers were not fully maintained. Notices were issued and 3 cases were referred to
the Magistrate, and the orders complied with. A fine was inflicted for introducing an
inoculated child within municipal limits. The notices in a large city cannot be served
personally by the District Superintendent, who recommends the introduction of a regis-
ter of notices showing results.
In the district, the total number of operations was 25,304, which shows a small
increase only on the results of the previous season. The District Superintendent was
28 days in camp and spent 8 separate days inspecting 3,858 cases, of which 175 were
unsuccessful and 40 doubtful. The Assistant Superintendent performed his duty satis-
factorily, but be work of some of the vaccinators was far from efficient. The district
officials gave assistance, but more help is required from the Tahsíldárs of Khutahan
and Jaunpur.
Summary of Gorakhpur report.
63. In the Gorakhpur municipality, 2,106 persons were vaccinated against a
total of 2,005 excluding Cantonment operations in

under section 17 of the Act were issued, and reference was made to the Magistrate

with 758 in 1892-93.
In the district, 53,689 operations were performed against 51,344 in the previous

Dispensary inspections a successful result. The Assistant Superintendent visited each
circle twice, and reports favorably of the work performed. The conduct of the
Vaccination Staff was on the whole satisfactory. The opposition to vaccination is
yearly becoming less. The practice of inoculation still exists in the Northern and
Eastern parts of the district. Great assistance was given by the Collector and Joint-
Magistrate, the district staff and by members of the District Board.
