Difficulties met with at
Attock and in the Chuch.

Tahsildar "Doorga Per-
shad's" tact.

Small-pox spreading from
Huzara originating from
"inoculation."

The epidemic checked
through arrangements made
by Major Hall.

In some places the people were very difficult to deal with, and this
was especially the case about Attock and in the
Chuch. The Tahsildar of Attock, "Doorga Per-
shad," deserves great praise for the way in which he
managed these people. He was untiring in his efforts, and I trust that his
exertions may meet with the favorable notice of His Honor the Lieutenant-
Governor. The names of the other Tahsildars, Lumberdars, &c., who gave
good assistance, have been mentioned by me to Major Hall, the Deputy Com-
missioner. Small-pox had broken out in many places
in this district, having spread here from the Huzara
hills, where "inoculators" had been largely at work. The arrangements

made by Major Hall for getting the people quickly
vaccinated were perfect, and the epidemic, which would
doubtless have been very severe, was checked. Major Hall has always taken
great interest in the work of vaccination, and gave me all the assistance in
his power, and in consequence, notwithstanding that the people, as above
stated, were very difficult to be dealt with, a great deal of work has been
accomplished in the district.

Evidences of work done by
the Dispensary vaccinators.

During my tour through the district, I saw evidences that a very fair
amount of work had been done in former years by the
Dispensary vaccinators. In almost every large village
several children were brought to me with marks of successful vaccinations
on their arms; this work had been done almost entirely by vaccinator "Jai
Sing." I took "Jai Sing" with me wherever I went, and found him to
be a very popular man.

He has been taken into the Punjab Vaccine Establishment, and is now
a Native Superintendent.

This is the only district I have visited where I have seen that work
has been honestly done by the Dispensary vaccinators. The Rawulpindi
district is a very large one. On this account, and because of the villages in
most places being at long distances from one another, a great deal of time
was necessarily spent in it. Work was commenced there on the 7th October,
and a considerable amount still remains to be done.

4. In December I visited the several districts from Lahore down
to Dehli, inspecting the work being done there.

Lahore.

But little work done in
the city.

Proposes that the Honor-
ary Magistrates should give
assistance.

In the Lahore district I found the vaccinators had been working well.
In the villages no opposition had been met with, but
in the city very little had been done. This is the case

in most of the larger towns, and unless the Honorary Magistrates can be

induced to take some interest in the work, I fear it will
remain so. It would, I think, be a good plan were the

Honorary Magistrates in turn to devote themselves to this work. If one at a

time in each town would undertake to get a certain
number of the streets vaccinated to the best of his

ability, something would doubtless be done. As a body they readily enough

promise to assist, but nothing comes of it.
