* Includes the number treated in the Sukea's Street Dispensary.
The above statement shows a marked increase on the attendance as compared with 1873,
viz., 2,025 in and 19,445 out-patients, making a total increase in 1874 of 21,470. This
increase is all the more satisfactory when it is remarked that the figures for 1873, under
the head of " out-door," include those who remained under treatment on the 1st January
of that year ; whereas those for 1874, in a similar column, refer simply to " new cases"
treated during the year. An increase of both in and out-patients is observed in each
individual institution, with the exception of the Mayo Hospital "in-patients," and the
Alipore and Aratoon Apear dispensaries' " out-patients." The increase in the number of
out-door patients treated in the Mayo Hospital and its branches is very marked, amounting
to 14,259. It will also be observed that 1,107 patients received out-door medical and
surgical relief at the General Hospital.
8. Of the 263,027 patients treated in the Calcutta medical institutions, particulars
of race, sex, and age were registered respecting 261,920. The deficiency (1,107) is due to the
omission of the registration of these particulars of the out-patients in the General Hospital.
Of the 261,920 patients, 156,751 were males, 42,320 females, and 62,849 children under
10 years of age. These numbers give percentages of 59 . 85 males, 16 . 59 females, and 23.99
children, against 61 . 8, 15 . 5, and 22 . 7 in the year 1873, and against 64 . 9, 16 . 3, and 18.8
in 1872: thus showing that proportionately, while the number of males has decreased, there
has been an increase in the number of children, and in about the same proportion. Of
the total number treated, there were-
Age, caste, and
race.
