21. Nagpore Force.—In this force
malarial fever occupies a prominent place
among the causes of admission, but the
entire absence of all casualties shows
how slight the disease must have been.
Diseases of the eye and of the skin stand
next in frequency to malarial fevers.
The only fatal diseases were those of -the
lungs, the percentage of mortality from
this cause being .21.
22. Ceded Districts.—In this com
-
mand malarial fever takes precedence of
other diseases as a cause of admission to
hospital, the other prominent causes
being dysentery, diarrhœa and rheuma-
-
tism. The principal causes of mortality

fever and dysentery.

24. Northern District.— In the table
malarial fever, though occupying the
first place among the causes of admis-
-
sions, is note so markedly prominent as in
certain other circles already commented
on. Skin diseases and rheumatism follow
in the list. Malarial and continued fevers
are, however, responsible for the fatal
cases.
