2.Registration.—The average num-
ber of registered women at each station
for the last two years is shown in the
margin. The numbers do not differ
appreciably.
3.Surveillance.—The women were
inspected weekly and the average attend-
ance was fair, although the marginal
statement shows that it was not quite so
good as in 1883. The numbers giver
show the ratio per thousand of the
average number of prostitutes who at-.
tended these inspections. They do not,
include the women who were in hospital
when the inspections took place.
4. Number of women found diseased at inspections.—The value of these periodical
inspections is proved by the figures in
the margin to be very considerable. It
will be seen that, although a larger num-
ber presented themselves for inspection
in 1883, the number of cases of disease
detected was greater in 1884.
5. Statistics of sickness amongst the
women.— Subjoined is a comparative

It will be seen by this table, which embraces statistics for five years, that
although the admissions for venereal complaints as a whole were higher in 1884
than in any of the preceding four years, the admissions for primary syphilis, the
most serious of venereal diseases, show a considerable falling off when compared
with the four preceding years.

This table shows a very satisfactory decrease in admissions for primary
syphilis amongst European troops as well as amongst registered prostitutes.
Deductions from these figures as to cause and effect are not very reliable—merely
a coincidence—if, as is the opinion of all Medical Officers in charge of Lock
Hospitals, the men contract disease chiefly from unregistered prostitutes.

three times during the past ten years was the rate of admissions for venereal to
strength exceeded by that of last year.

In five stations there was an increase and in two a decrease in the admission
rates for venereal compared with the preceding year. In Cannanore the admission
rates for 1884 were a little more than double those of 1883. At Kamptee and
Wellington also there was a considerable increase in admissions. Bangalore shows
a large decrease and Secunderabad a slight decrease. Bellary furnishes a high rate
of admissions for venereal to strength and has done so during the past ten years.
The rates fluctuate in other stations ; in Bellary it is steadily high. Bangalore
shows a very satisfactory decrease, the rate of admissions for venereal being lower
in 1884 than in any of the six preceding years, the decrease during 1884 being
quite as remarkable as the increase noted in 1883.
10. Cost of Lock Hospital patients.— The average annual cost of each patient
in the several Lock Hospitals is set forth in the subjoined table. It will be seen
that the average cost of each patient was Rs. 8-13-1, showing a reduction of
Rs. 1-4-10 per patient compared with the preceding year.

11. Bangalore.—Among the troops of this station there was a decrease in the
total number of venereal cases and in the number under each class of disease
throughout the year, the totals being 581 in 1884 and 680 in 1883 also in 1884
the numbers were—primary syphilis 263, secondary syphilis 51, gonorrhœa 229 ;
while in 1883 the admissions were, for these three classes of venereal, 281, 57 and
308 respectively. The women were regular in attendance. The number of women
admitted during the year was 524, an increase of 147 compared with the preceding
year ; but there was no actual increase of venereal, the increase being due to the
detention, as a precautionary measure, of all women with monthly changes.
12. Bellary.—A large amount of venereal exists amongst the troops at this
station, though there was a decrease of 26 in admissions compared with the preced-
ing year. There was a decrease of 55 admissions for primary syphilis and an
increase of 28 admissions for gonorrhœa. There were 73 women on the register
(about 30 of them always in hospital) in a station with a civil population of 60,000

The soldier cannot be coerced into accepting the registered women provided
for him, and the class of women who do register for his benefit are not likely to
attract him.
19. The following table is instructive : it shows the strength of European
troops and the number of admissions for primary syphilis and gonorrhœa during the
past five years in the several stations where Lock. Hospitals are established. The
table also shows the strength of European troops and admissions for primary
syphilis and gonorrhœa amongst them during the past five years in stations where
there are no Lock Hospitals.

Admissions for primary syphilis and gonorrhœa only have been tabulated,
as nearly all venereal diseases are a sequel to those two.
We are forced to admit, by a persual of the figures in the above table, that
Lock Hospitals have hitherto been kept up for the propagation of venereal amongst
British soldiers, though originally established with a very different intention. The
greater prevalence of venereal in stations where Lock Hospitals are established
can be satisfactorily accounted for. A registered woman rarely leaves the bazaar
to ply her trade ; in many stations there is a place assigned to her in the bazaar
and there she must live. She is generally a prostitute from her earliest years ;
whereas the unregistered woman is generally a villager, driven to prostitution for
a livelihood, and she may lie in wait for the soldier anywhere so long as she is not
found out. She is invariably diseased. In stations where there are L&ck Hospi-
tals she has no rival, as those women, such as parcherry servants, grass-cutters, &c.,
who prostitute themselves to supplement their wages, are afraid to be seen out at
night for fear of seizure and compulsory registration. In the cantonments where
there are no Lock Hospitals, women can prostitute themselves when inclined
without fear, and the health of the soldier benefits by the rivalry which is so
severely checked where Lock Hospitals are established.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
J. IRVINE,
Surgeon-General, Her Majesty's forces.

Extracts from the Annual Medical Report of the Lock Hospital at Secunderabad,
by Surgeon-Major Æ. M. Ross.
The Cantonment Committee exercise supervision over the working of the Lock Hospital
rules, and. matters relating to the institution are discussed at their monthly meetings.
No special measures were undertaken for the control of prostitution beyond those hitherto in
force. These, it may be repeated, consist in the deputation of a body of six constables of the
civil police, whose sole duty is to detect and apprehend women who carry on prostitution with
the European soldiers.
The Lock Hospital rules extend over an area of seven square miles and are applicable to the
class of women who carry on prostitution with the European soldiers. From the fact of new
women being brought on the register year after year, there is no doubt that registration is
tolerably efficient, although the number brought on the rolls was 28 against 73 in 1883. The
only way to account for the fewness of the number admitted on the register in 1884 is that,
owing to the active operations of the police in the previous years, only few escaped registration.
This is further evidenced by the fact of the admissions for venereal diseases among the British
troops being less than in 1883. There is, however, still a great deal of clandestine prostitution,
especially among the grass-cutter women attached to mounted corps, herdswomen, &amp;c. In all, in
the year under report there was an average strength of 355 prostitutes against 339.58 in the
previous year. On the 1st January 1884 there were 363 women on the books, during the year
28 were registered, making in all 391. Of this number, 85 against 38 in 1883 got their names
removed. On the last day of the year there remained 306 women.
For the most part the forms of the disease were mild and readily yielded to treatment,
excepting in the case of newly brought in women and women who absented themselves at the
periodical examinations. In these instances the patients had to be detained in hospital for a
longer time than the ordinary cases of registered women.
