The deaths to treated is 21·66 per thousand, or 2·16 per cent.; deaths to strength of the
force, 14·26, or 1·42 per cent.; daily average number of sick in hospital, 93·08.
The native police force is divided into four separate divisions, viz. the town, the suburban,
the river police, and the reserve force, which includes the Government-house, Treasury, Bank
of Bengal, Mint, Presidency Jail, the Government Dockyard, Alipore Clothing Department,
and the Cossipore Gun Foundry guards. The sick of the combined native forces are admitted

into the service. The police boatmen are also admitted into the Police Chowkedar Hospital,
but are not medically examined as to their physique and fitness for their duties.

Visitors.
Capital operations.
At the suggestion of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the committee of ma
n a g e -
ment are agreed. to open an out-door dispensary in connection with the hospital. The
out-door operation will be commenced as soon as the hospital removes to the new building;
this will greatly increase the usefulness of the hospital.
Lastly, I beg to render my best thanks to Mr. R. Harvey, the honorary secretary, for
the kind assistance and cordial co-operation I have always received from him.
The hospital was visited during the last year by the deputy surgeon-general of the
Presidency Circle and the deputy commissioner of police, Calcutta.

REPORT ON THE BHOWANIPORE DISPENSARY
For the year 1873.
THIS dispensary was established in 1840. Until the end of July last there was provision
made for the treatment of in-door patients, who since then are treated in what is called the
Sumbhoo Nath Pundit's ward for natives in the General Hospital.
It is in charge of second grade Sub-Assistant Surgeon Ram Chunder Sen, and has a
compounder, a dresser, a bearer, and a Native Medical pupil attached to it, all of whom are
favorably mentioned by the sub-assistant surgeon.
The building, a hired one, is in poor repair.
The present income from private sources is about Rs. 130 per mensem.
There is a committee, who, since the removal of the in-door patients, seem to have lost
interest in the institution, as not one of them appears to have visited it during the last six
months.
The conservancy arrangements of the immediate neighbourhood are very defective. It is
satisfactory to note that the average daily attendance of out-door patients has not fallen
off, as was feared, on the removal of the in-door patients, but on the contrary, it has consider-
ably improved. The daily average attendance was 61.68.
The total number of out-door patients was 7,818 ; in 1872 it was 6,379.
The prevailing diseases were fevers, enlarged spleen, and bowel complaints. Thirteen
capital and 764 important minor operations were performed.

The present government donation of Rs. 150 forms the pay of the sub-assistant
surgeon.
This dispensary was frequently visited during the past year. The sub-assistant surgeon
appears to be attentive to his duties. His medicines are carefully kept, his instruments are in
good, and his books in fair, order.
He has had no printed form of register for out-door patients for some months on account
of failure of the supply.
Transfer of
in-patients.

Finances.
" I HAVE on more than one occasion during the past year separately reported on this
hospital. For a long time it was in a very unsatisfactory condition, and the subscriptions
very irregularly realized. It is, no doubt, satisfactory to find that the removal of the in-door
ward to the General Hospital has not diminished the number of out-door patients, as was
anticipated. I believe, however, that if the dispensary were better situated, it would be much
more largely attended.

REPORT ON THE ALIPORE DISPENSARY
For the year 1873.
1. THIS dispensary was opened on the 1st October 1852 ; the present sub-assistant
surgeon took over charge of the institution on the 22nd September of that year. He is a
graduate of the Calcutta Medical College of 30 years' service, drawing Rs. 200 per month,
t h e p a y o f t h e f i r s t g r a d e . T h e r e c o r d s o f t h e i n s t i t u t i o n a r e a l l k e p t i n E n g l i s h .
2. The buildings occupied by the dispensary are pucka, having two large rooms—one
appropriated to the use of the dispensary, and the other adapted for the treatment of
in-door patients. The hospital can accommodate 12 cots. During the year under report the
building had undergone no repair.
Buildings.
3. The dispensary is supported both by government donation and private subscriptions.
The collection is made by the superintendent of the dispensary, and the amount collected
has always been sufficient to meet the necessary expenses of the institution.
Support.
4. The inhabitants of Alipore are generally in low condition, and entertain a high
opinion of the institution. There are no Native wealthy inhabitants in the neighbourhood of
Alipore.
Alipore is a village lying in the suburbs of Calcutta, to the south. The site of the
dispensary is to the east of Belvedere, the residence of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
and it is so well known that it need not be described here.
6. The prevailing diseases during the year under report were fever, spleen, dysentery,
diarrhœa, and rheumatism. The attendance of the patients at the dispensary was large
and satisfactory, and poor people from a great distance resort to it for treatment.
Prevailing diseases.
7. No vaccinator was attached to the dispensary during the year under report.
8. The indigenous drugs, which are easily procurable in the bazar, have been used in
the dispensary to a great extent, and generally with success.

Bengalee Class Native Doctor Pran Kissen Mookerjee was in medical charge throughout
the year.
The general conduct of the subordinates during the year was satisfactory.
Building.
Additions.
The dispensary building was built of brick, measuring 24 feet long by 12 feet broad
and divided into two apartments by a wooden partition. One of these apartments is used
for dispensing medicines for out-patients, and the other to treat venereal cases, &c. The
building has been kept in a good state of repair. An additional room, 7 feet long by 5 feet
broad, was built during the year. This is used for preparing those medicaments that
need the heat of fire, it is also a dwelling for the shop coolie, who resides on the spot.
The cost of repairs and this additional new room has been entirely defrayed by Mr. Thomas
Apcar. The expense incurred in making the above new room alone was Rs. 55.
The sanitary position of this dispensary and its neighbourhood is healthy.

Principal diseases
treated.
As this dispensary is constituted to afford relief to out-door patients only, the total
number shown above are only such out-patients. The utmost distance which sick people have
come from is about 7 miles from this institution.
The principal diseases treated were intermittent fever, enlargement of spleen, rheumatism,
bronchitis, skin diseases, and bowel complaints ; and the mortality from such diseases does
not appear to be in any way greater than the other years.

Deputy Surgeon-
General's remarks.
Inspection.
FORWARDS the annual report of the Calcutta Lock Hospitals for the year 1873.
In November last the native prostitutes under treatment in hospital were removed from
Sealdah to Alipore, the building occupied as an hospital and examination ward being required
for the alterations under progress in establishing the Campbell Vernacular School of
Medicine, a house in the Balliaghatta road being converted into an hospital for European and
Eurasian prostitutes and examination ward. The resignation of the resident medical
officer of Bow Bazar was accepted, and Sub-Assistant Surgeon Mohendro Nath Goopto was
placed in charge of the Lock Hospital in the Balliaghatta road and the Bow Bazer examin-
ation ward ; and as house-room could be no longer provided for him, he has lately been
allowed house-rent at Rs. 50 per mensem.
The Alipore Lock Hospital and the Chitpore road remain on the same footing as
previously.
A. reduction of establishment and relative decrease of expenditure has taken place, as
pointed out by Dr. Payne.
Dr. Payne has entered into minute details regarding the working of the arrangements,
and the result effected in the prevention and reduction of venereal diseases in Calcutta. With
this the experience of the other medical officers, both in civil and military employment,
coincide; and it appears to be hardly necessary, as he has done, to point out that the expendi-
ture is incurred for the prevention of disease, and should not be judged of by the cost per
head of the diseased prostitutes whom it has been found necessary to detain in hospital for
treatment.
The different Lock Hospitals were inspected on the 1st September 1873, and the
Chitpore examination ward on the 11th July. All the details were properly managed, and
the records correctly kept. Dr. Payne reports favorably on the conduct of the resident
medical officers and native doctors.
