Building.—The hospital building and out-houses are in a good state of
repair. Floorings are much cut up at door-ways, where stone is required, but
the walls, roof, doors, windows, &c., are in a good state of preservation.
10. Of the establishment, Mr. Pilcher writes : " Mr. Harding, the House
Surgeon, has done duty in the hospital throughout the year. I have found
him well-informed in all branches of his work, and he has been careful and
diligent in carrying out his duties. Assistant Surgeon Umirto Lall Deb in
charge of the native department of the hospital has also satisfied me by his
diligence and attention to his duties. It is mainly owing to his attention
and kindliness of manner that the number of out-patients attending the
hospital has so largely increased during the last two years.
BHOWANIPORE DISPENSARY.
THE abovenamed institution was under medical charge of Second
Grade Assistant Surgeon Baney Madhub Tagore throughout the year, with
the exception of the period between 4th March and 5th May when he was on
sick leave. Third Grade Assistant Surgeon Raj Kristo Ghosal officiated for
him during his absence. Reporting of these officers, Dr. French, Civil Surgeon
of the 24-Pergunnahs and Superintendent of the Dispensary, says : " They
worked well and Baboo Baney Madhub Tagore took an interest in the insti-
tution, worked there attentively morning and evening, and thereby caused a
c onsiderable increase in the daily attendance." Dr. French twice inspected
the dispensary during the year and says he would have done so oftener, but
. was prevented by press of work at the Campbell Hospital and Medical School
during the last quarter of the year.
2. The building was completed during the early part of the year, and
occupied by the dispensary on the 1st of April. It is well situated, and also
well suited for the purposes of an out-door dispensary.
3. The institution has taken no in-door patients since the transfer of its
in.-door department to the General Hospital, in 1873, under the name of the
S umbhoo Nath Pundit Ward. Dr. French gives it as his opinion that it was
