Cholera.
6. According to this statement the number of deaths from cholera in 1873 have been
nearly the same as in 1872 ; 8 fewer deaths, in fact, having been registered. In this respect
the results are not in correspondence with those shown in the returns of the hospitals and
dispensaries.
Localities from
whence cases of
cholera were
brought
7. The localities from whence cholera cases were brought to the different hospitals are
shown in the returns of each institution. From these the general statement below has been
prepared. This exhibits the number of cases received from each division of the town, from the
river-side, and from the suburbs, and the experience of 1873 is compared with that of 1872.
The information is still not sufficiently exact to enable me to summarize it to any purpose.
For convenience of reference a reduced map of Calcutta and its suburbs is appended.
Statement showing the residence of the cholera cases admitted for treatment into the
Calcutta Medical Institutions during the years 1872-73.
