non-success." The Hospital Assistants of the branch dispensaries were also constituted
Inspectors, and a total of 3,740 cases were thus inspected. Col. Grigg took up vacci-
nation warmly and practically enlisted the whole district staff; as inspecting officers,
and Dr. Barry believes the result of operations in the district to be beyond suspicion.
A considerable amount of opposition had to be overcome, but by vaccinating the child
of the headman of the village, &c., opposition generally disappeared. The conduct of
the vaccinators was not altogether satisfactory. Coming under close supervision they
required sharp punishment to bring them to recognise that their duty and interest
lay in doing as much work as possible. Dr. Barry is of opinion " that the amount of
protection is not to be gauged by the number of vaccination scars, and such a theory
that the more scars the better protection, is hardly borne out from the knowledge of
other specific fevers. This is a point of considerable value in pushing vaccination among
a people often bitterly opposed to it."
