for ague only exceeded by 1, the number in 1876, and bowel-complaints only numbered 8
against 6 in 1876. This must, I think, be considered satisfactory as the strength of the
regiment was increased by about 50 men during the year. On the other hand a large number
of admissions took place, chiefly among the recruits, for contusions caused by falls when at
riding-school, kicks of horses, chafes caused by riding, and boils about the seat apparently
caused also by irritation of the skin in riding. Three deaths occurred in hospital during the
year: 1 from anuerism of the aorta, 1 from general dropsy and anæmia, and 1 from gangrene
o f t h e l u n g s .
Deputy-Surgeon General J. R. Theobalds inspected this corps on the 30th
November 1877 and reports as follows:—
Sanitary condition.— I found the lines very clean arid huts in fair order. The ventilation
of huts is indifferent, only through a door in front, the interstices of the tiles, and where the poles
supporting the roofs rest on the wall ; each hut is built detached. The drainage is tolerably
good into the Bagdunah river.
Sanitary condition of all buildings.—I found all the cells and guard rooms in good order,
clean, and sufficiently ventilated with the exception of the gram-shed guard room, which is
14' 2" x 16' with one door and one window in front, accommodation required for three men.
I would again recommend that, a ridge ventilator be fixed in the roof of this building.
Conservancy.—The conservancy of the lines and neighborhood, good. The sweepings
and rubbish are collected in 22 dust-bins which are conveniently placed ; these bins are
emptied daily and contents thrown on the cultivation outside the station.,

MEDICAL AND SANITARY REPORT OF THE NATIVE ARMY OF MADRAS.
Water-supply is derived from wells, and is good and abundant
Sanitary arrangements in cantonment barracks have been attended to.
Diet.—The price of provisions rose during the year owing to the famine in India ; but
prices did not affect the troops who are rationed by Government. Vegetables were plentiful.
The dieting of the troops has been sufficiently nutritive and varied to preserve health.
Clothing
Clothing.—The clothing of the troops has been sufficient and adapted to the climate.
Foot soreness.—There have been no cases of foot soreness.
Duty has been light and in no way prejudicial to health. The average number of nights.
in bed during the year (per week) was 4.
Drill.
Drill.—The drills, &c., have not had any deleterious effect on the men.
Vaccination has not been practised amongst the troops during the year. All the men
bear marks of vaccination and of small-pox. There have not been any cases of small-pox.
Epidemic disease did not prevail during the year.
Hospital ventilation has been very good ; there has been no overcrowding. The hospital
affords accommodation for 24 patients ; the average daily sick during the year has been
only 6.66.
Hospital drainage.—The drainage about the hospital has been efficient. The latrine is in
good order. The dry-earth system is not efficiently carried out from the natives using water to
cleanse themselves.
Hospital water-supply is good, and derived from a well in the vicinity.
General conclusions.—The general health of the troops during the year has been good.
Intermittent fevers furnish the largest item of admissions, but the disease was not more
prevalent than amongst the inhabitants of the town. The cause of so much fever as stated
in previous report "is owing to the cantonment being surrounded on three sides by dense jungle,
and a marshy land at the northern extremity of it.

General conclusions. —On the whole the climate of Dorundah is healthy although the
men suffer somewhat from the cold winds which prevail at the present season. The condition
of the lines is very bad, and most of the houses urgently require repairing before the next
rainy season sets in. During the last rains nearly all the houses leaked and many fell down
altogether ; one wet night a man was killed by a wall falling on him.
