    PREFACE With a view to present in one volume a comprehensive account of the state of health of the province and of the activities of the Public Health Department, the Punjab Government decided in November, 1929, that the annual review of vaccination, which has hitherto been published as a separate report, should in future be incorporated in the annual Public Health Keport. This procedure has accordingly been adopted in the present report and, in doing so, the opportunity has been taken of omitting certain obsolete sections, such as those referring to the European and Native Army, Jails and Sanitary works. Military, and of replacing the sections by chapters and numbering the latter in consecutive order. Some rearrangement of the contents of the chapters has also been made, partly with a view to the presentation of the facts in logical sequence, and partly to make provision for the inclusion of new matter occasioned by the expanding functions of the Public Health Department. In making these changes care has been taken to preserve, so far as possible, the original form of the report and, as nothing of importance has been omitted and no change has been made in any of the annual forms or statistical tables, it is hoped that the report in its new form will not prove inconvenient to those whose duty it is to read the report or ex¬ tract statistical data therefrom.
