SIR,
IN submitting a report on the Medical Institutions of Calcutta for
the year 1877, I have the honor to say that those
which are noted on the margin are included, and
that the arrangement which has hitherto
been
follower will be adhered. to.
2. Statement No. I shows the number of
house and out-door patients treated during the year
p
in the City and Suburban Hospitals of Calcutta.
Institution
Comparing these numbers with those of the precede-
ing year, it may be stated generally that the
numbers show an increase. Thus in the Medical College Hospital there
were 4,352 house and 44,679 out-door patients in 1876, against 4,967
and 47,506 in 1877. In the General Hospital also there was an increase,
as also in the Mayo and Campbell Hospitals. An increase of house-patients
from 2,261 to 2,859 likewise occurred among the police force, from which latter
fact it seems natural to infer that the past year was more unhealthy than 1876.
Among the five suburban dispensaries, the total number of patients which was
42,102 in 1876 rose to 47,855 in 1877. It is further to be noticed that the
number of patients treated in 1876 was less than in 1875.
Numbers
attended both
in-door and
out-door.

MAJOR AND MINOR OPERATIONS.
Ophthalmic Hospital.
In the Ophthalmic Hospital 21 cases were under treatment at the
end of the year 1876. During the year under report 216 operations were
performed, giving a total of 237. Of these, 158 were cured, 26 relieved,
37 unrelieved, and 16 remained under treatment.
Dispensary for Women and Children.
The number of women and children who came for treatment was 14,309,
against 13,703, 15,463, 15,217, 13,766, and 11,892 in the five preceding
years.
The minor operations performed were 440, against 440, 361, 390, 421,
512, and 229 in the six preceding years.
Ophthalmic Dispensary.
In the Ophthalmic Dispensary there were 3,483 males, 1,052 females,
and 929 children treated, or a total number of 5,464 new patients.
The daily average attendance at this dispensary was 78.72 persons.
The following table shows the relief rendered by this dispensary during
the past six years:—

Obstetric Ward for Women and for Children up to the age of seven years.
The number of patients treated by the Obstetric Physician was 1,109,
against 1,053, 993, 1,004, 943, 1,063, and 745 in the preceding six years.
The deaths were 76 or 68.53 per 1,000, against 88.88, 64.55, 71.71, 73.17,
65.8, and 80.53 in the six preceding years.
There were 260 women delivered in hospital during the year, against
250, 226, 216, 191, and 146 in the six years preceding. This shows a marked
and steadily progressive increase on the numbers of previous years.
Of the women confined, 25 were Europeans, 91 Indo-Europeans, and 144
natives.
There were 232 children treated in these wards, of these 34 died.
Ophthalmic In-patients.
In the Ophthalmic Hospital, 536 in-patients were treated, against 534,
541, 590, 545, 535, and 507 in six preceding years.
The number of cases cured was 270, relieved 147, making a total of 417,
who were materially benefited by treatment.
DISPENSARY PRACTICE.
Medical and Surgical Out-Door Dispensaries.
There were 22,144 out-door patients (new cases) treated during the year.
Of these, 11,732 were medical and 10,412 were surgical cases. These figures

During the year 137 major operations were performed with eight deaths.
Of these, 90 took place in the European, and 47 in the native ward, with eight
in the out-patients room. There were six deaths among European and two
among native patients operated on. The cause of death was exhaustion in
five cases, phthisis in one, lockjaw in one, and disease of the kidneys in a case
of lithotomy. Erysipelas made its appearance on different occasions, but by
segregation its spread was checked. It is difficult to account for its
occasional occurrence, as the wards are always clean and well ventilated, and
the hospital is in a healthy situation.
There were 635 minor operations, none of which led to fatal results.
There were 48 midwifery cases during the year, being ten more than in
the previous year. Forty of the cases were natural, two required instruments,
five were abortions, and in one premature labour was induced. Of the mothers
17 were Europeans, 27 Eurasians, and four natives. Twenty male and 23 female
infants were born; only one, a male infant, was still-born. The lying-in-room
has been under Mrs. Hickey, who is well acquainted with her duties as midwife.
12. The sanctioned diet scale has been in use during the year, and
the food on the whole has been of good quality and fairly well cooked.
Considerable improvement has taken place in the preparation of the
food for the patients; but owing to the extent of the ground covered by the
hospital buildings and to the distance of the cook-room from them, it is not
an easy matter to serve up the diets as nicely as could be desired.
Some arrangement for heating small articles of food, cups of soup, &c.,
is much needed in the day time. At night when the gas is turned on, there
is no difficulty in doing this, but in the day time the gas is shut off. A small
cooking apparatus with a spirit lamp in the nurse's room of each ward would
answer the purpose; it could be placed in charge of the nurse on duty, and
should not be very expensive.

1877, the deaths having been 64 in 1876 and 77 in 1877. The daily average
of in-patients was 82.
The total number of in-patients at the Mayo Hospital, when compared with
the figures for the previous year, shows an increase of 142, the admissions in
1876 being 1,679 against 1,821 in 1877. At the Chandney Hospital there
were 306 admissions, falling short of the number for the previous year, when
there were 350. by 44.
The number of out-patients who sought relief was 54,113, about 3,000 less
than last year. Of this decrease 900 were under diarrhœa alone, from which
it may be inferred that that disease was less prevalent in 1877 than in 1876.
There was also a considerable decrease of admission for skin disease. The
daily average of out-patients was 414. On the other hand, the Chandney
Hospital shows an increase in its out-patients of nearly 2,000 as compared
with the preceding year, the total admissions numbered 58,831, giving a
daily average attendance of 442.

A separate report has been drawn up for the first quarter of 1921, under
G.O. No. 43-P.H., Press, dated 6th January 1922, which enjoined that future
reports should deal with both the vaccine and the bacteriological sections of the
Institute and should cover the official year and not the calendar year as heretofore.
M.R.Ry. Rao Bahadur M. Kesava Pai Avargal, M.D., was in charge of the
Institute from 1st January to 13th February 1921, when Major J. Cunningham,
M.D., I.M.S., the permanent Director, took over charge on, his return from leave.
The report comprises two parts, part I dealing with bacteriological diagnosis
and treatment and part II with subjects connected with public health.
PART I.
(1) The preparation and supply of bacterial vaccines.
The number of doses of autogenous and other bacterial vaccines issued
during the quarter under report is shown in table I. The issues for the past
four years are also included for comparison.

The number of doses of "other vaccines" issued during the quarter is
much lower than the quarterly average of previous years. This is due to the
fact that the demand for cholera and influenza vaccines, which form the bulk of
the issues, is seasonal and depends upon outbreaks of the diseases which occur
at other periods of the year. Details as to the different types of bacterial vaccines
issued during the quarter are given in table II. This table calls for no comment.

Autogenous vaccines .
Autogenous vaccines were prepared for 83 cases. The results of treat-
-ment have not been obtained for over 50 per cent of the cases for which the
vaccines were prepared. It is to be regretted that the returns for a larger
percentage of these vaccines are not received. A list of the different autogenous
vaccines made during the quarter is given in table III.
