*Slight fall in the number of patients in cattle ward from that of last year was due to stoppage
of admission of in-patients for some time during the year under review on account of outbreak
of rinderpest and foot and mouth diseases in the hospitals and also for want of replacement of
tie rings in 3 sheds of cattle ward.
The daily average number of all patients treated in the wards during
the three years were as follows : —
