and 71.40 of re-vaccinations successful and the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner
99.93 and 81.03. There was a very considerable increase in the inspection work
of Civil Surgeons in some of the districts in which it was insufficient in the
previous year. The total operations inspected by all the Civil Surgeons were
nearly twice as large as in 1904-05. There were, however, a few districts in
which the work was comparatively very small, but I hope it will be better next
year. The Civil Surgeon of Sialkot made no inspections on account of the large
number of vaccinations verified by me in that district. The Civil Surgeon of
-Lahore is unable to leave the headquarters on account of his multifarious duties,
but the Deputy Sanitary Commissioner inspected a sufficient number of cases
in this district. The work done by the Subordinate Staff was, on the whole,
satisfactory.

Vaccination in the large
Native States.

15. As noted in my last report, the vaccinations, both primary and
secondary, done in the Patiala State in 1904-05, were con-
siderably greater than in the year preceding. In 1905-06
there was a further increase in primary cases, the number having risen from
48,490 to 54,086. There were 31,034 re-vaccinations performed during the year
against 30,992 in 1904-05. The work done in the other States was as follows: —
Bahawalpur 18,804 primary vaccinations, Kapurthala 5,578, Nabha 1,074,
Jind 6,978, Fáridkot 5,185. The re-vaccination work done in these States was
most insufficient, the total operations in all of them did not exceed 386. The
percentage of successful primary cases was 95.24 in Bahawalpur, 96.72 in
Kapurthala, 89.77 in Nabha, 97.74 in Jind and 98.09 in Fáridkot.

Vaccination in Munici-
pal towns—Appendix A.

16. It will be seen by adding the figures in Appendix A, that of the
total number of children under one year available for the
operation during the year, 85 per cent. were successfully
vaccinated in the towns in which the Vaccination Act is in force, and 66
per cent. among those in which vaccination is not compulsory, as against
73 per cent. and 60 per cent. in the previous year, thus showing a decided
improvement in the work in both classes of towns.

Results of glycerinated
lymph.

17. A special report by Captain Forster, I.M.S., Officiating Deputy
Sanitary Commissioner, on the results of the operations
carried out with chloroformed glycerinated lymph manu-
factured at the Central Vaccine Institute, Lahore, will be submitted separately to
Government. There were as many as 100,768 primary vaccinations performed
during the year with a case success of 99.94 per cent. and insertion success of
99.00. In 1904-05 the corresponding figures were total primary vaccinations
33,210, case success 98.72, insertion success 94.90. The vaccine has proved most
satisfactory. Captain Forster deserves much credit for the great interest taken
by him in this work.
