1895. The total number of cases treated during the year was 2,736 against
2,241 last year. There were 381 in, and
2,355 out-patients of which 1,166 were
horses, 28 donkeys, 694 cattle, 179 camels
and the remainder sheep, goats and dogs.
The Veterinary graduate attended out-
breaks of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth
disease. He treated animals belonging
to the Municipality, Society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals, the Karachi
Police, Zoological Gardens, and examined
Remounts (Police) previous to purchase.
The work done in this dispensary is very
satisfactory indeed and great credit is due to the Veterinary graduate in charge.

Hyderabad.—A suitable site has been selected and plan and estimates
prepared for the erection of a permanent dispensary here. The total number
of cases treated during the year is 1,260
against 1,146 last year. There were 241 in
and 1,019 out-patients, of which 525 were
horses, 236 cattle and the remainder sheep,
camels, &c. The Veterinary graduate at-
tended the Shows at Moro and Talhar where
he was of great assistance. He also treated
animals belonging to the Police, Munici-
pality, local fund, farm, &c. The working
of this dispensary is most satisfactory
and the institution is increasing in popu-
larity.

Shikarpur.—The dispensary here was found by the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, at his inspection in a dirty insanitary state, and he is
of opinion that if it were moved nearer to the city, the institution would become
very much more popular. The total num-
ber of cases during the year was 894
against 843, and of these 173 were in and
721 out-patients, 420 horses, 282 cattle and
the rest sheep, camels, &c. The Veteri-
nary graduate attended the horse show
at Shikarpur and an outbreak of foot-and-
mouth disease in the town; he also visited
owners' houses. The Superintendent re-
ports that the Veterinary graduate is not
working satisfactorily.

Shikarpur (itinerating).—The total number of cases treated during the
year is 455 against 488 last year. Of
these 52 were horses, 354 cattle, and the
remainder sheep, &c. The Veterinary
graduate attended outbreaks of con-
tagious disease and the Quetta and Shikar-
pur horse fairs. The report is not satisfac-
tory, shows no progress and compares
unfavorably with other dispensaries in
the province.

The progress made in these institutions is very satisfactory indeed. The
Punjab dispensaries have continued to do good work, and a new one has
been opened at Ludhiana which is already proving popular. I have
recommended very strongly the establishment of a small hospital at Dehli, a
very large town in which at present nothing has been done in this direction.
In time it is hoped that every tahsil will have its veterinary dispensary.
