attacked were adults, and all but one had been inoculated
formerly. Reports were sent at once by Rájahs and Ránas on
small-pox appearing in their Territories, with request for
vaccinators to be sent.

3.   KAPURTHALA.—The Members of the Council Admi-
nistration of Kapurthala requested me to vaccinate the people
of that State. The Rájah had formerly been vaccinated ; I
vaccinated his son. The Members of the Council and other
officials assisted well. No trouble was met with, and the whole
State was quickly done.

4.   JULLUNDER DISTRICT.—This district was gone over
without trouble. The Members of the Municipal Committee
of Jullundur City assisted freely. The Registrar of Births and
Deaths was of great use to me. In the other large towns, and in
the district generally, the people were not averse to vaccination.
The people of Nakodar Tahsíl complained that vaccinators had
not been to them last year. Vaccination had never been done
in the Military Cantonments; in four days I vaccinated over
800. The people complained that there was no vaccinator
for them, and no dispensary. If a dispensary, with a vaccina-
tor attached, was established in all large Cantonments, and
placed under the Staff Surgeon, it would be a great boon
conferred.

City.

5.    LUDHIANA DISTRICT.— Vaccinations have never been
really satisfactory here, and the people in general are against it.
In a few places the vaccinators were welcomed. Major Gurdon
interested himself in the work, and in the end success was
obtained in most parts of the district. Dr. Rouse, Civil
Surgeon, undertook the town. Assistant Surgeon Gokal
Chand greatly helped him. Municipal vaccinators were this
year for the first time employed. The Municipal Members
gave " fair assistance." Individual Members gave more help
than last year, but there is much need of improvement in
this respect. There were 329 Hindús vaccinated against only
54 last year.

Dr. Rouse praises hospital Assistant Esfan Ali of
Jagraon, who there vaccinated 609 children, and kept small-
pox, which was prevalent elsewhere, out of the town.

6.    UMBALLA.—Small-pox had been prevalent here all
the year. For the first time vaccinators were this year paid by
Municipalities; there were three—one at Umballa city under
Dr. Penny ; one at Rupar under Dr. Dickson; and, one at
Jagádhri under the Assistant Surgeon. The disease was worse
in Jagádhri than elsewhere. Lala Devi Chand, Member of the
Committee here, had his children vaccinated, but would not
help in getting others.

Another Member, Lála Bansi Lál, gave really good help.
No others helped materially. Only 517 vaccinations were
done. 87.08 per cent. being successful. Over 110 children
were said to have died of small-pox in the year.
