No. 585, dated Umballa, 9th December 1889.
From—Lieut. H. HAMILTON, late Station Staff Officer, Solon,
To—The Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab.
WITH reference to your No. 4030, dated 16th November 1889, the
Reports and Returns of the Solon Lock Hospital for the year 1889-90 are re-
submitted herewith in accordance with the instructions Contained in above
quoted memo.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SOLON LOCK HOSPITAL FROM THE 16TH APRIL
TO THE 28TH OCTOBER 1889.
A.—A hut with two rooms was engaged for the Hospital, one being
occupied by patients and the other as inspection and dispensary room.
B.—Last year the medical charge of the Hospital was held by 1st Grade
Assistant Apothecary G. Hynes ; this year by 1st Grade Assistant Apothecary
P. Victor.
C.— There were 74 admissions of venereal diseases during the period, 10
of which were said to have been contracted from the registered women, but on
examination the women pointed out Were free from any disease. The ratio of
admissions per mille of strength for the last four years cannot be given, as there
is no record for the past three years. The weekly returns were submitted
regularly.
D . — T h e r e w a s n o C a n t o n m e n t S u b - C o m m i t t e e .
E.—There were no special measures adopted for the control of prostitu-
tion beyond the register kept and weekly inspection remarks entered against
each woman. Whenever unlicensed women were noticed plying the trade in the
Cantonment representations were Made to the Officer Commanding the Station,
who directed that they be removed.
F.—The registration proved that diseased women could not ply their
trade, and thus saved increased sickness among the troops. These women were
for the sole use of the troops and were not common to the inhabitants of the
station.
G.—No registration fees were levied.
H.—The women were very regular in their attendance at the periodical
examinations without any exception.
I.—The women were examined every Tuesday in the inspection room of the
Hospital in presence of the Matron. On the admission of a woman she was put
in a ward and treated with drugs procured from the contingent allowance,
their diet being cooked by their own people.
J.—There was hardly much sickness among the women, as precautionary
steps were adopted by giving each woman two bottles of Condy's Fluid weekly for
the purpose of syringing herself after each intercourse, as well as to allow
the soldier to clean himself with the lotion.
K.— There was one Matron or Dhái employed who examined the women
daily, and on the slightest suspicion of disease she brought the woman to my
notice, when she was re-examined by me, and, if found diseased, admitted into
Hospital.
L.— I very carefully watched the effect of Condy's Fluid injections
and washing after an intercourse, and my humble opinion is that, if strictly
carried out, it would save much of the contagious diseases among troops.

It will be seen from the table above that there has been a very slight
decrease of venereal to that of 1888. There has not been a single instance
of a woman presenting herself voluntarily for examination. The old
system of Lock Hospital Rules did, in a great measure, prevent the spread of
venereal disease, but now there is no check on the disease.
