11. Howrah General Hospital.—Dr. Bird has submitted a valuable report on
this institution. It is evident that he has its welfare thoroughly at heart, and that
it is prospering under his management. In the course of the year 1,493 in-patients
and 13,364 out-patients were treated, the numbers being considerably in excess
of those in the previous year. This Dr. Bird attributes to a renewed connection
with the shipping, to the admission of moribund patients under the orders of
last year, and to the increasing attention shown to native out-patients. There
seem to be some doubts with regard to the correctness of the registers kept of
the attendance of European out-patients. The Lieutenant-Governor hopes that
the means taken to remedy this will prove effectual. The average number of
in-patients under treatment in the hospital daily was 70, the number of Europeans
and of natives being pretty equally divided. While the death-rate among
Europeans, however, was unusually low (40 per thousand), that among the
natives was very high (277.7 per thousand) ; even excluding moribund cases, it
was somewhat higher than in the previous year.
Fever was very prevalent during the year, both among natives and
Europeans, and was very fatal in its form. In the earlier part of the year,
endemic fever prevailed extensively and had to be met by special measures ;
about March, however, it disappeared.
The Lieutenant-Governor learns with pleasure that the financial position
of the hospital has become comparatively secure, and that there is a prospect
of a new ward for natives being opened shortly.
12. Calcutta Lock-hospital.—The report on this institution has been
separately dealt with.
13. In conclusion, Sir Richard Temple has to thank Dr. Campbell Brown
for effective control exercised over these institutions during the year under
review.

RIVERS THOMPSON,
Secretary to the Govt. of Bengal.

FROM THE SURGEON-GENERAL,

Dated Fort William, the 1st June 1875.
SIR,
I HAVE the honor to forward, for submission to His Honor the Lieutenant.
Governor of Bengal, the report on the medical institutions
(marginally noted) situated in Calcutta and its suburbs for
the year 1874.

2. I have to express my regret at the unavoidable delay
in forwarding this report ; but no time has been unnecessarily
lost in its preparation, considering the pressure of work which
exists in my office ; and it will be observed from the appended
statement that several of the reports were very late in reaching me.
3. The superintendent of the Mayo Hospital has been good enough to supply me with
the annual returns and report of that institution, and of the dispensaries in connection with it.
and I have to thank the honorary secretary for having sent me a copy of the report for
1874 on the working of the Calcutta Nurses' Institution, and the Chairman of the Justices of
Calcutta for having given me a copy of certain municipal statistical returns. Plan of Reports.
4. This report has been drawn up in accordance with the wishes of Government, as
conveyed to me in letters Nos. 900, 1465, and 4, dated, respectively, the 4th March and
8th and 19th April 1875.
5. It will be observed that there has been but little change made in the statistical
portion of the Volume now forwarded as compared with those of preceding years. I consider
that the forms used to illustrate the report are well adapted for their purposes. The volumi-
nous return of diseases treated is, however, omitted, as the abstract on pages 6 and 7 contains
all the information on this subject which Government is likely to desire.
I have also, as directed in circular No. 4, dated 19th April, from your Government.
omitted. the submission of the reports of each individual institution.

6. In 1873 there were twelve institutions in Calcutta and its suburbs which administered
to the wants of the sick poor. This number was, during the past year, nominally reduced to
eleven, owing to the transfer, in February 1874, by orders of Government, of the

The mortality of cholera cases treated in hospital during 1874 was at the rate of 509
per mille.
Of the 666 cholera cases treated, there were 162 from Europeans and Eurasians, and 504
from natives. The average mortality of Europeans and Eurasians from cholera was at the
rate of 410 .23 per mills. Their highest rate of mortality was 439·02 per mille, and the lowest
302·82 The average death-rate of natives from cholera during 1874 was 543·65 per mille.
Their highest rate of mortality (10 deaths from 11 treated) was 909·09 per mille. Their
lowest rate (three deaths from 15 treated) was 200 per mille.
There are a few interesting facts regarding cholera as observed during the year: —firstly
that there were more cholera cases in 1874 than in any of the four previous years; secondly,
that, since 1870, judging from the hospital returns, cholera has been on the increase in
Calcutta; and, thirdly, that the death-rate from cholera has been greater than it has been for
the last six years, with the exception of 1873.
