19. The Deputy Surgeon-General of the Presidency Circle reports that he visited the
hospital several times, and always found cleanliness and order prevailing throughout the
whole premises, and though, from the peculiarity of construction of the main building, it is
far from being a good and suitable place for the treatment of sick people (having been
originally constructed for a market), an immense amount of relief to suffering humanity is
afforded in as satisfactory a way as the nature of the building will admit of.
POLICE CHOWKEEDAR HOSPITAL.
DR. WOODFORD has submitted the annual report of this hospital for the past year, and
it contains but little that calls for any special remark.
1. The police force is divided into four separate divisions, viz. the town, the suburban,
the river, and the reserve.
2. The strength of the force for the year under review was 3,058.
3. Sickness and mortality of the force :—

5. From the statement in the margin it appears that the sickness and mortality of the
police force during 1875, calculated
on the strength, is somewhat in
excess of what it was in 1874,
though the death-rate per cent. on
the total numbers treated is a little
lower.
The sickness and mortality
during 1875 was also higher than
that of the average of the five pre
- c e d i n g y e a r s , b u t t h e d e a t h - r a t e
calculated on the number treated
was a small fraction lower.
The health of the police force
was fairly good, and the death-rate
in it was low.
