Cholera only appeared among the Bellary troops ; there were 27 cases and 18 deaths. The
disease was supposed to have been brought to the town by the pilgrims from the Humphi festival.
It was prevailing in the bazaar before it attacked the troops.
There were only 10 cases in the whole force, and 7 of these were at Bangalore. No deaths
occurred from the disease.
Small-pox.
Intermittent fever was the most prevalent disease, especially in the 28th N.I. at Mercara,
causing an admission rate of 925 per 1,000. The 30th N.I. at the French Rocks was the next
greatest sufferer, and the troops at Bellary the third.
Continued fever was confined to the troops at Bangalore and Bellary, and happily caused no
deaths.
Dysentery and diarrhœa prevailed more in the 28th N.I. at Mercara than in any other corps.
Venereal diseases were more numerous in Bangalore than in any other station, the admission
rate being 61.86 per mille, while in Bellary it was only 20.48. The regiment which suffered
most from that disease was the Sappers and Miners, probably on account of the number of the
Pariah class with that corps.
