ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NOWSHERA LOCK HOSPITAL FOR THE YEAR 1889.
A.—There has been no change in the hospital accommodation. The
. building is a suitable one, and is in a good state of repair.
B.—The following Medical Officers held charge during the year :—
Surgeon F. W. G. Hall, M.S. (from 9th October 1888 to 1st March 1889).
Surgeon J. B. Wilson, M.S. (from 1st March 1889 to 2nd May 1889).
Surgeon G. H. Barefoot, M.S. (from 2nd May 1839 to end of year).
C.—Statement showing the extent of venereal disease amongst the
European troops :—

From the above table it will be seen that the present year compares favour-
ably with the year 1888, more especially as I have included all cases of ulcer of
penis, which do not appear to have been shown in previous years.
Although compulsory examination has been done away with, yet all the
prostitutes in this Cantonment come up once or twice a week, as the case may
be, to be examined.
The number of prostitutes found diseased and treated in hospital during
the year is 46 : in all these cases only one was found to be suffering from
primary syphilis .
Venereal disease could be almost obliterated from this station if the troops
did not migrate to the hills, where either no Lock Hospital exists or the pros-
titutes do not attend regularly.
A large proportion of the 89 cases were contracted out of this station.
As an example of this, I may here state that a draft of 150 men arrived in the
early part of November. These men were inspected on leaving Deoláli and
found to be free from venereal disease. On being inspected here no less than
sixteen cases were admitted into hospital—four for gonorrhœa, nine for ulcer
of penis, and, I regret to say, three for the true Hunterian chancre. This is only
one of the examples by which I could prove conclusively that most of the dis-
ease is contracted out of the station.
2
Not withstanding all these disadvantages, I believe the Lock Hospital.
system has worked very satisfactorily as compared to other Cantonments.

D.—A Cantonment Sub-Committee has existed during the year, consist-
ing of the Officers Commanding 18th Royal Irish, 15th Sikhs, and 9th Bengal
Lancers, and the Senior Medical Officer.
E
.—This does not apply now, as the Lock Hospital has been made,
voluntary.
F.—Registration extended over the Cantonment, including the Sadr
Bazár, before the compulsory examinations were stopped.
G .—No registration fees have been levied.
'H .—Attendance has been very regular both before and since the com-
pulsory examination was stopped.
I.—There has been no change in the arrangements for examining the
women. A weekly speculum examination has been held.
J .—There has been a gradual decrease in the number of admissions
amongst the women for syphilis, only one ease having occurred during the
year. There were 46 admissions for venereal disease during the year.
K.—Dhais have not been employed. A Matron resides in the hospital
and exercises supervision over the patients under treatment.
L .—I cannot suggest any further improvments, as the present working
of the Nowshera Lock Hospital is very satisfactory.

TO

HOME DEPARTMENT.
Dated Lahore, 13 th March 1891.

S
I R ,
I AM directed to forward, for the information of the Government of India,
the annual returns of the Voluntary Venereal Hospitals due from the Military
Cantonments in the Punjab for the year 1890. A copy of a letter from the
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, No. 647, dated the 5th of March 1891, sub-
mitting remarks on the returns, is also enclosed. Sir James Lyall agrees with
Dr. Farrell that it is too early to form any definite conclusions as to the value
of the new system for the prevention of propagation of venereal disease, and
considers that a further trial is necessary to allow of any definite conclusion
being arrived at on this point. The Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals has been
asked to obtain an explanation of the reason why a sum Rs. 486-8 was incurred
at Delhi under the head “All other expenditure,” seeing that not a single female
patient was apparently treated at the hospital for contagious and infectious
diseases, and also why the similar item of expenditure at Siálkot was also so
large.
2. Copies of the returns and of the remarks by the Inspector-General
have been sent to the Military Department of the Government of India ; to the
Surgeon-General with the Government of India ; and to the Quartermaster-General
in India, for the information of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and 35
copies have been despatched direct to the Secretary of State for India.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
H. MAUDE,
