at headquarters he saw 3,453 cases in the district. 96.32per cent. of the cases examined
were found successful, and the work was of good quality. Human lymph was invari-
ably used. The conduct of Assistant Superintendent and Vaccinators was on the whole
good. District officials were always ready to give assistance. The people are well
disposed to vaccination especially the Jats, and this statement is in marked contrast
with that of the Superintendent of the Muzaffarnagar district. Dr Moriarty says :
" In the jat villages I found the lambardar very friendly and ready to give every assist-
ance. The Rangars on the other hand are not so accessible, and in some villages have
considerably hindered work."
