Thus it will be observed that whilst there has throughout the seven years been a
tolerably uniform number of cases admitted for treatment, there has been manifested an
evident tendency of late years to a marked diminution of the death-rate. During the first
four years the ratio of deaths to cases treated amounted to 69.93, 98.50, 63.94, 72.27 ;
whereas during the remaining three years it has only reached 53.01, 52.92, 36.52.
The average ratio of deaths to treated during the six years 1865 to 1870 was 68.07,
which exceeds the ratio of the year under report to the extent of 31.55 per thousand of
treated.
Even after eliminating cholera from the account, this satisfactory state of affairs has to a
demonstratable extent been maintained, as will appear after an examination of the sub-joined
statement illustrating the aggregate sickness and mortality exclusive of cholera.

39.59, and 30.56.

CALCUTTA HOSPITAL NURSES' INSTITUTION,
REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER 1871.

MISS MILMAN,
" WI LKI NSON,
MRS. BROWNLOW ATLAY, Honorary Secretary.
MRS. COWELL, Honorary Treasurer.
THIS institution has been in existence twelve years, and has not decreased in usefulness,
as will be seen by the reports of the two principal Medical Officers, Dr. Chevers and Dr.
Ewart. There are 14 nurses in the Medical College Hospital, including the Matron, Mrs.
Bowler, and 9 only in the General Hospital, for the funds being low last year, the Matron,
Mrs. Hickey, offered to take more of the work and so dispense with the services of one nurse.
She and Mrs. Bowler are most hardworking and obliging, and the Secretary finds that
the women recommended by them almost invariably make the best and most respectable
nurses.
In consequence of the ready response made to the appeal at the beginning of last year,
the Committee find themselves with a balance in hand, which they think will allow them to
offer two nurses to Dr. Chevers for the wards which hitherto have only been attended to by
coolies. Three have long been wished for, and if quarters can be found for two, it is
earnestly hoped that the present rate of subscriptions may be maintained, without which it
would be impossible to provide for the extra expense.
As much care as possible is taken in selecting the nurses, but very great difficulty
exists in finding suitable women. Numbers present themselves simply because they want a
home, whilst they know nothing of work or nursing. Even the most willing have to learn,
which entails a great deal of extra labor on the matrons.
This can only be remedied by a training establishment for nurses, which it is to be
hoped we shall see at some future day in Calcutta.
Thanking the public for past help and begging to remind them that there are frequently
200, mostly Europeans, at one time in the General Hospital, and the same number, Euro-
peans and Natives, in the Medical College Hospital, not including the extra Native wards,
this report may be best concluded with the valuable testimony of the chief medical officers
of the hospitals, contained in the following letters.
EMMA ATLAY,
Honorary Secretary.
I HAVE again great satisfaction in stating that during the past year Mrs. Bowler, the
Matron, and the nurses of the Hospital Nurses' Institution under her, have for the most
part worked most efficiently and usefully, and have rendered an incalculable amount of
valuable aid to the sick in this hospital. I can scarcely imagine a public charity better
calculated to do good, both in its objects and in its administration, than is the institution in
question. It is a constant source of regret to the officers of this hospital that the funds of
the Hospital Nurses' Institution are still so low as to be inadequate to provide us with a
full staff of nurses.

REPORT OP THE HOSPITAL NURSES' INSTITUTION.
I HAVE been very well satisfied with the manner in which the Matron and the nurses
have performed their duties during the past year. I attribute this result mainly to
the careful way in which Mrs. Hickey, the Matron, has carried out the important work
entrusted to her. I believe the other officers of the hospital have been equally satisfied with
the excellent nursing of the sick. It would now be impossible to get on satisfactorily
without the nurses, so absolutely' essential have they become to the thorough working of
this institution.
I trust you will have no difficulty in procuring funds wherewith to maintain our
establishment of nurses in full working order.
Yours very sincerely,

Percentage of deaths to those treated, inclusive of moribunds, has been 27.21, and
exclusive of moribunds 20.18.
The average daily sick in hospital during the year 1871 has been 233.
The hospital during the year 1871 now under review, has had somewhat larger numbers
than in the preceding years, the average daily sick having reached 233 against 223, and
the number of admissions have been 4,520 against 3,415 ; the mortality, however, I am glad
to say, is favorable, compared with last year, being 20 per cent. without, and 28 with,
moribunds, against 22 and 30 respectively. It will be remembered that the mortality last year
bore favorable comparison with the average death-rate of the two preceding years. The
mortality as usual is chiefly due to sloughing dysentery, chronic diarrhæa, general dropsy,
pulmonary phthisis, &c.
Hospital Buiiding.—During the year the building has undergone some repair; the capitals
of two of the large pillars on the west side facing the tank had to be rebuilt, as they were
crushing ; but I regret to say the old water-courses, which run the whole length of the
hospital floor, and which were loosely filled in with brick, remain in the same dilapidated
condition, and the surface drains complained of in my last Annual Report remain in the
same state. Something is at present being done to prevent the bricks falling from the top of
the north and south walls of the hospital; as this falling is caused by the expansion and
contraction of the iron roof, it appears an evil difficult however to remedy.
Latrines.—The old kutcha latrines, I am glad to say, have disappeared, and water-closets
conveniently situated have been fitted up in the building,—two for the male, and one for the
female, patients. This has been done by converting three available rooms into latrines and
connecting them with the Calcutta Drainage and Water Works; they are found to work well,
and are a very great convenience to the sick.
Water Pipes—Have also been laid on. A stand-post has been placed in the centre of
the building, and a pipe has been laid in connection with the cook-room. Although these
are great boons, a stand-post at either end of the building,—one at the dead-house, and one at
the iron tank used for boiling cots, blankets, &c.,—is also needed.

REPORT OF THE
Establishment.
Diet.
Establishment.—The establishment has been kept down during the year to the very
lowest state compatible with efficiency. I have in fact so far exceeded orders in this respect
for the past five months, as to have carried on the duties with an average daily sick list of
280 patients with an establishment for a maximum number of 260 patients.
Dieting. —The dieting arrangements carried out in this hospital are by the public
contract system, and continues to give satisfaction, the articles supplied being of fair quality.
The cost of dieting per patient per month has been Rs. 3-13-6, and including spirits, &c.,
Rs. 4-3. I believe these figures will be found very low when the class of cases is borne
in mind.
I cannot say too much in commendation of Mr. Apothecary Hamilton's ever zealous
care in the onerous and humane discharge of his duties.
