FROM
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,

To
THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER,
N.-W. PROVINCES AND OUDH.
DATED NAINI TAL, THE 15TH OCTOBER 1895.
ATION DEPT.
SIR,
I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt, on 22nd September
1895, of the report on Vaccination in the North-Western Provinces
and Oudh for the year 1894-95. The date fixed for its submission is
the 1st July, and it was therefore two and a half months late; consi-
derable time was occupied in Press, and efforts should be made to
secure its punctual submission.
2. In the following table the work of the year is contrasted with
that done in the two previous years:—

There was thus steady progress during the year under report. Seven-
teen districts, however, show a
decrease, which was considerable
in those noted on the margin.
The deputation of vaccinators to
the Hardwár fair accounts for
the falling off at Saháranpur; in Lucknow it is due entirely to a
decrease of vaccination in the Municipality ; while in the remaining
districts the number of persons successfully vaccinated per 1,000 of
population is still above the provincial ratio. In each of the districts
of Allahabad, Mirzapur, and Bara Banki there was a decrease of over
1,000 cases, while the number of persons successfully vaccinated is
much below the average, and in these districts, as well as in those
of Gonda, Sultánpur, Gorakhpur, and Azamgarh, where also a very
( 2 )
small proportion of the population was vaccinated, continued attention is
required. The vaccination staff shown in column 6 of Statement I is not
confined to that supplied by Government, but includes municipal and
town vaccinators as well as those maintained by public subscriptions.
There are at present considerable inequalities in the distribution of
the staff supplied by Government, but when these are removed, it will
be possible for no district to urge an insufficient staff as an excuse
for a short output of work. It is possible (though in this respect the
opportunities vary in different districts) to supplement by local effort
the staff which Government supplies, and which, owing to financial
considerations, is admittedly insufficient to cope with the work. For
instance, considerable sums in addition to those provided by Govern-
ment (from Provincial or Local funds) or municipalities were collected
in the districts of Sitapur, Bara Banki, Rae Bareli, Bahraich, Fyzabad,
and Lucknow. The Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Commissioner
hopes that every effort will be made by backward districts to act up
to the example thus afforded. It is especially necessary in the 3rd
Circle, where the number of persons successfully vaccinated per mille
is only 21.72 as against the provincial figure of 26.81.
3. The result of the re-organization of the vaccination staff
which came into force during the previous year, an important feature
of which was the appointment of each Civil Surgeon to be the head of
the department in the district to which he is attached, has been a very
large increase in the number of cases tested by the superior staff:—

On the whole the results as shown by the cases tested appear to agree
very closely with those returned by vaccinators, and it is said that there
is now very little false work. The cases in which the results differ
to any large extent are shown in
the margin, and these districts
should receive attention. Ex-
cluding Mirzapur and the hill
districts, the circumstances of
which are peculiar, the Assistant
Superintendents of the following
districts appear to have examined
an insufficient number of cases
as compared with the average per
district of 8,331, viz., Sháhjahán-
pur (4,104), Sultánpur (3,062),
Bánda (4,406), and Jaunpur (4,437). I am to request that an explana-
tion may be given of the small returns in these districts. In certain
districts, such as Benares, the Civil Surgeon, owing to the onerous
( 4 )
to gain some idea of the work performed by a scrutiny of the figures in
Statement IV for cases due to vaccinators paid from municipal funds.
These cases include work done beyond the municipal area, but it is
not the case, as might have been expected, that operations performed
beyond the municipal area diminish while those performed within it
increase. The subjoined table gives the main results:—

It will be seen that the number of operations performed by municipal
vaccinators increases in almost exactly the same ratio (48 per cent.) as
the total number in the provinces. If the Act were fully enforced,
the increase in the case of the former would considerably exceed that
of the latter, especially when operations beyond the municipal area
show a large advance. Again, in 1894 124,378 births were recorded
in municipalities, whereas in the season of 1894-95 only 66,789 infants
were successfully vaccinated. The decrease in the total number of
operations within the municipal area during the past season is almost
entirely accounted for by Lucknow, where there is a falling off of 12,184
successful cases. The Deputy Sanitary Commissioner of the 1st Circle
brings to notice the shortsighted policy of some municipalities in refus-
ing to allow their vaccinators to perform work beyond the municipal
area. In the case of small municipalities especially, it is difficult, unless
the municipal vaccinator is encouraged to work beyond the circle, for
him to maintain a supply of good lymph, owing to the restricted number
of cases at his disposal. This tendency should be discouraged, not only
in the interests of municipalities themselves, but of the public at large.
This officer also thinks that one cause of failure to give due effect to the
provisions of the Act is the practice of compelling vaccinators to fill up
those columns of the prescribed registers which contain details of the
births within the municipality; he considers that this duty should be
performed by the municipal servant whose duty it is to record vital
statistics,
7. On the application of the Act to a municipality, the following
results may be expected if it is strictly enforced. The ratio per mille
of vaccinations will show a sudden rise, owing to the vaccination of
all children under the age of 14 years if boys and 8 years if girls,
and will gradually decline till it remains at about the same figure as
the birth rate. Allowing for mortality among infants, it should not
be much lower than the birth rate. Making the necessary allowance
( 5 )
(about 20 per cent. of infants die), in 31 of the 102 municipalities
this undesirable result occurs. Below are given instances of the vary-
ing results obtained :—

Remarks.
Improvement, but failure
to enforce with regard
to older children on
introduction of Act.
Failure both as regards
older children and in-
fants.
Failure to introduce and
deterioration after in-
troduction of Act.
Good results.
I am to request that the figures for the various municipalities may be
scrutinized, and the necessity for vigorous action insisted upon where
this is necessary. It is observed that Koil appears as an instance of
an unsatisfactory result, although in paragraph 11 of your report it
is stated that little difficulty is experienced there in carrying out the
provisions of the Act. The truth possibly is that little trouble is taken
to do so.
8. No mention is made in the report of officers who have been
specially interested in promoting vaccination ; but substantial increases
of work were obtained in the districts of Meerut, Agra, Budaun, Pili-
bhít, Hardoi (14,599), Kheri, Gonda, Sultánpur, Gorakhpur, and Basti
(9,330), and I am to express the acknowledgments of His Honor the
Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Commissioner to the District Officers
and medical staff of these districts.
It is possible that Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel Hutcheson will
not return to the department, and Mr. Cadell takes this opportunity
of placing on record the high appreciation of Government of the
character of the services rendered by him during his tenure of office
since the year 1889-90. The best proof of the improvement effected
during that period is furnished by the fact that the number of successful
vaccinations has increased from 837,378 in 1889-90 to 1,247,704 in
1894-95, while the average cost of each operation has decreased from
Re. 0-2-6 to Re. 0-1-11.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
H. W. PIKE,
Secy. to Govt., N.- W. P. and Oudh.
