would be,) in the number of in-door patients treated in the Mayo Hospital (1,573 against in-door
407 in 1874), but there is a falling off in the numbers treated in the Chandney Hospital
(433 against 592 in 1874):
The death-rate of the in-door patients treated in the Mayo and Chandney Hospitals
was lower by nearly 20 .00 per mille than that of 1874.

seem to have been any disease unusually prevalent during 1875. Zymotic diseases, injuries,
and cases requiring surgical interference, have contributed a large proportion of the total
number treated.
There were 47 cases of tetanus treated (in the two hospitals), with a mortality of 26, or Tetanus.
at the rate of 553 .19 per mille. Regarding these cases the Surgeon. Superintendent remarks
that they did not follow any operation performed in the hospital.
There were 138 cases of cholera treated, with a death-rate of 442 .02 per mille ; Cholera.
24 cases of choleraic diarrhœa were also treated without the occurrence of a death, and if
they had been entered as cases of cholera, the mortality from this latter disease would have
been reduced to 376.54. It may be observed that in all returns from military hospitals the
use of the term " choleraic diarrhœa" has been abolished (vide paragraph 89 of G. 0. C. C.
193, of 3rd August. 1870), and such cases are registered as malignant cholera.

7. In the out-door departments of the Mayo and Chandney Hospitals and their
associated dispensaries there has been a great, and a very satisfactory, increase in the total
number of patients treated-191,759 in 1875, against 156,615 in 1874. The number of out-
door patients treated at the Mayo Hospital was more than double what it was in 1874, and
to this is principally due the great increase in the total number of out-patients treated in 1875.
8. One hundred and four major and 92 minor operations were performed in the Mayo Operation
Hospital, with a mortality of 30, or at the rate of 153.06 per mille of those operated on.
The mortality after amputations has been at the rate of 363.63 per mile.
