The deaths from small-pox (1,170) during the year were very low. The
Western District was the one most affected, after it came the Southern and
Central Districts, Sind was very slightly affected, and the Gujarát District gave
only 2 deaths. These figures and those for the previous year, which were also low,

perfection and can relax our efforts, on the contrary there is still a great deal to

| Description | The Vaccination collection consists of 66 volumes dating from 1856 to 1933. Reports show how vaccination against smallpox was implemented in India. They reveal the shift from variolation, improved vaccination techniques, logistics of lymph supply, funding and staffing. They explore how the local population viewed and resisted western vaccination. |
