REPORT
ON
PLAGUE IN THE PUNJAB
FROM
OCTOBER 1ST, 1902, TO SEPTEMBER 30TH, 1903,
WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INOCULATION OPERATIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
Arrangement.
1.    This report deals with the epidemic of plague in the Punjab from   October   1st,
1902, to September  30th,   1903, and special
attention  is  given  to the inoculation opera-
tions which have been the chief feature of the year.
In view of the fact that, except as regards inoculation, the circumstances of the
present year do not differ materially from those of the year 1901-02 and that the report
on last year's epidemic deals fully with the outbreak in each district and with the measures
undertaken for dealing with the same, it will only be necessary to refer briefly to these
particulars. In the report for this year a short review of the epidemic, and of the
measures taken in connection with it, will first be given, the conditions of each district
will then be separately noticed, and attention will be devoted to inoculation in a separate
part of this report.
