6. With the exception of sometimes an erythematous or eczematous eruption
occurring after vaccination on the arms of children, I have not observed any
irregularity in its progress or any ill effects resulting from it.

7.     In this town only one case of small-pox after successful vaccination
was brought to my notice, and it was a very modified type of the disease.

8.     During the last year when small-pox broke out in this town, only
those who were not vaccinated were attacked, while the vaccinated children
escaped the disease.

325 vaccine operations have been performed during the year under
report, of which 223 were primarily vaccinated and 102 revaccinated. The
former consisted of 193 males and 28 females ; 85 hindús and 136 mohamed-
ans ; 45 were under one year and 176 above it; the result was 207 successful,
2 unsuccessful and doubtful, and 14 unknown, and the percentage of success is
990. The result of the latter was 92 successful and 10 unknown, and the
percentage of success 100.

2.     There is a considerable increase of 291 in the number of persons
vaccinated and revaccinated compared with the previous year ; this is chiefly
owing to the adoption of special measures for securing the attendance of
persons at the dispensary by me as well as to my taking the trouble to visit
them at their own houses for the purpose of vaccinating.

3.     The lymph during the year was fresh and good ; the vesicles appeared
full and were of large pearly appearance, and the cicatrices were good in
most of the cases.

4.     No small-pox came under my notice nor the custom of inoculation.
5. No ill effect resulted from vaccination

Population 8,781.

The number of children vaccinated was 303 and as compared with the pre-
vious year there is a decrease of 234. This is chiefly owing to an order having
been received on the 21st December last from the Superintendent of Vaccination
in Sindh, to the effect that I should discontinue the performance of the operation
till further orders, as also to strong objection and opposition on the part of the
inhabitants of the town.

2. There were 174 male and 129 female children vaccinated; 193 were un-
der and 110 above the age of one year. The number shown above comprises 133
hindús, 166 mahomedans and 4 other castes. The result in those primarily vacci-
nated was 296 successful and 7 unknown.
