4th.—That married Kunjar women were found to cohabit with soldiers in the
Kalassi lines of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment, and that with these the
police were unable to interfere.
5th.—That the men broke out of barracks at night time and entered the various
bazárs, &c., and cohabited with village and other women who were
aware of this.
6th.—That the police have been negligent in their duties with respect to lock-hos-
pital rules, necessitating the degradation of a head-constable in one
case ; and that regimental police, unless continually goaded, are averse
to spying after men, which the proper discharge of their duties would
entail, and are very spasmodic in their efforts in the prevention of a
matter in which they do not sympathise, and can see no good results
therefrom.

Grand total of admissions.
Ratio of admissions per

The table shows the grand total of admissions for vene-
real disease contracted at Bareilly during the year to have
been 91.
The average strength was 716, therefore the ratio of
admissions per 1,000 of strength was 126·6.
Were it not that so many and unexpected causes, as explained before, have
given rise to so serious an increase of disease, I would feel greatly disheartened at
the results of this year ; but as it is, I feel assured that a very largo proportion of this
disease was not contracted from registered women, but was the result of, and is
distinctly to be laid to the door of, the famine and its consequences. It must also
be considered that in a disease of this nature fluctuations must be expected, and that
it is only by time the benefits of the lock-hospital system can be estimated.
In looking over the ratio of admissions per 1,000 for the last six years I find
that the year 1877 ranks fourth.

( 20)
Regimental police and patrols have been used during the year, and to a limited
extent they act as checks, but, for reasons before mentioned,
have not been very useful. Women are only allowed on
"pass" into the barracks to sell food, &amp;c., but outside the lines on the plain the women
appear to enjoy opportunities of cohabiting with the men, as the latter say they get
most of their disease from women who ply their trade in this locality.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
1. Hospital accommodation is satisfactory.
2. The native staff, especially the native doctor, is efficient.
3. The admissions from venereal disease among the troops show an increase this
year over the previous one. Thus there were 91 in 1877, against 71 in 1876, or an
increase of 20 ; showing a ratio of admissions per 1,000 for 1877 of 126·6, against 89·4
in 1876.
4. The causes of this increase have been spoken of in the body of the report—
unlicensed prostitution ; famine and its consequences ; ayahs ; want of attention of
police and regimental police, &amp;c.
5. The attendance of registered women is good, or an average of 90 out of 95
for the year.
6. The number of unlicensed women apprehended was small, only 9, and but
3 convicted. This might be increased.
7. Disease among the women is less, a ratio per 1,000 of admissions for 1877 of
1,538 to 1,730 the previous year.
8. Secondary disease among men and women was almost absent, showing how
mild the disease was.

G. R. TRIPHOOK, M.B., F.L.S.,
SURGEON, A.M.D.,
In medical charge.
Extract from proceedings of the Cantonment Committee assembled at 8 A.M. on the 2nd
February, 1878, at the Cantonment Magistrate's Office,
1. The lock-hospital annual report is laid before the committee. Surgeon-
Major Wright, 18th Royal Infantry, senior medical officer, British forces, states as his
opinion that true syphilis has been stamped out at Bareilly, and that for the last
eight months not a single case of "inflicting sore" has been admitted into the 18th,
Royal Infantry hospital.
Major Smithett, commanding K-5, R. A., remarks that his battery has now been
at Bareilly two months, that they brought four eases of gonorrhœa with them, and have
had no increase.
The committee are fully persuaded of the good effect of the exertions of Surgeon
Triphook in the performance of his very important duties, and they consider it satisfac-
tory that although the number of cases of disease among the men has increased, the
number of cases among the women has decreased, and the type of the disease has
assumed a milder form.
The Major-General commanding desires to take this opportunity of expressing
his opinion that it lies with the officers commanding European corps to keep down as
much as possible by regimental arrangements the connection of their men with
unlicensed women. At the same time the committee desire to record their opinion
that the greatest assistance can be rendored by the native police.

ALLAHABAD.
ANNUAL REPORT ON THE ALLAHABAD LOCK-HOSPITAL FOR 1877.
1.. The Allahabad lock-hospital is situated in the Katra bazár in the civil
station, between the old and new cantonments, about one mile from the former and
two and a half from the latter. The hospital is in a good central position, and consists
of a compound containing a row of nine small wards with a verandah in front.
Each ward is supposed to contain two patients, and has a cubic space of 1,282
and a superficial of 192 feet, thus giving each patient 641 cubic and 95 super-
ficial feet.
2. The accommodation is insufficient for the number of women on the register.
The average daily number of patients for the year has been 22.59, while there is accom-
modation only for 18. The wards are ventilated by open doorways only.
3. The establishment also contains an examination room, dispensary, cook-house,
native doctor's room, servants' quarters, and an open verandah which is used as an
office. There has been no change in any of the buildings during the year.
4. The medical officer during this period has been Surgeon-Major W. Ashton, M.B .
5. There has been a slight increase in the number of total admissions for venereal
disease among the European troops in 1877 as compared with 1876, as will appear
from the subjoined table ; but 1876 was a singularly healthy year, and, with the excep-
tion of it, 1877 will compare favourably with any year since the lock-hospital was
established, while the admissions for syphilis have been much fewer than they ever
were before.

This shows that there were six more total admissions in 1877 than in 1876, but
86 fewer than there were in 1875.
6. The returns for the European troops have been regularly received during the
year.
7. A cantonment sub-committee holds monthly meetings throughout the year,
and consists of the deputy surgeon-general, Indian medical department, the deputy
surgeon-general, British troops, the magistrate of Allahabad, and the cantonment
magistrate.
8. The register of women has been kept by the cantonment magistrate, and
regimental arrangements are made by commanding officers to prevent unlicensed
women frequenting the lines and bazar.
9. Allahabad is a very difficult station in which to control prostitutes satisfac-
torily ; there is no sudder bazar, the city is situated near the new cantonments, and
most of the numerous villages and bazars in the neighbourhood contain prostitutes.
The three lines of railway meeting here also afford great facilities for changing resi-
dence when a woman wishes by doing so to avoid registration. If she becomes too well-
known in any locality she can leave the station altogether. After a while she returns,
selects some new abode, and is thus enabled to carry on her trade for some time longer
without being detected.

10. The number of women on the register during the year has been on an
average 129·73, much too small a number for such a large place and for such a large
population ; but the women have a great dislike to being registered, and evade it as
much as possible. Attempts have been made from time to time to increase the number
on the register, but have always met with great opposition, the women frequently
employing lawyers to defend.
11. The area over which the lock-hospital rules extend includes the whole of
the cantonments and the space enclosed by a line drawn round the cantonments at a
distance of four miles.
12. No registration fees were levied.
13. The number of absentees from the weekly inspections during the year was
692. These were reported to the cantonment magistrate, and one was fined and seven
imprisoned. The number reported includes women who were reported week after
week for absence, until at last they were struck off the register.
14. The examinations are held weekly, both at the lock-hospital and at a small
house in the city, and are conducted on consecutive days, so that a woman who may
be unable to be present on one day can attend on the following, also for the convenience
of those women who would have a long distance to travel if there were only one place
for examination.

As a rule, there is not much disease of a serious nature amongst the registered women,
though the number of admissions appears large. They are taken into hospital for slight
causes, and disease is thus often checked at its outset, which if not taken in time might
assume a more formidable character.
16. The worst cases of disease are almost always found in unregistered women,
who ply their trade on the roads leading to the barracks and in topes of trees, &amp;c.,
in the vicinity of cantonments. The difficulty of detecting these women is very great,
but when caught they are almost invariably found to be diseased.
17. Dhais for the purpose of giving information or detecting prostitutes have
not been employed.
18. Fourth-class native doctor Híralál has been attached to the hospital for
nearly nine years. I have known him for two and a half years, during which period his
conduct has been most satisfactory. He has a good knowledge of his profession, in
addition to which his temper and tact in managing a peculiar class of patients render
him very well suited for his present post.
