TRIENNIAL REPORT
OF
VACCINATION IN BENGAL.
FOR THE YEARS
1896-97, 1897-98 AND 1898-99.
Officer in charge of the Depart-
ment.
THIS report deals with the triennial period 1896-97 to 1898-99. I was
in charge of the Department throughout that
period.
2. In the Metropolitan and Northern Bengal Circles there were no
Deputy Sanitary Commissioners for the greater part of the years 1897-98 and
1898-99, and I had consequently to look after the current duties of their offices
in addition to my own work. The Western Bengal Circle was for the most
part in charge of an Assistant Surgeon. The department was thus worked
under extraordinary disadvantages.
Strength of staff.
3. The following table shows the strength of the vaccination establish-
ment during the triennial period under review,
as compared with each of the three corresponding
previous years.
