HOWRAH GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Dr. BIRD was Superintendent of this hospital for the entire period under review, and
prefaces his report with the following remark, viz.—"The records of the hospital for the year
just passed contain nothing of an exciting or eventful nature. The work to be done was of
the ordinary description, and it was executed in a fairly
satisfactory manner. The number of patients was larger than that dealt with in any previous year, and the funds have proved equal
to the strain put on them."
Superintendent.
