Average daily sick
during the years
1865-73. Thus the average number of daily sick during the past year fell below that of 1868,
1869, 1870, and 1872, whilst it exceeded that of 1865, 1866, 1867, and 1871.
This statement gives a very faithful expression of the unremitting labor which constantly
devolves upon the medical staff of the hospital. When the mean of the nine years is
struck, it shows that the daily average of sick which has come under the management of
each of the three executive officers of the institution has been upwards of 50.
STATISTICS OF SICKNESS AND MORTALITY.
The sickness and mortality during the past as compared with the eight preceding
years, is demonstrated in the subjoined statement:—

Sickness and mortality during the years 1865-73.
During only one year of the series has the mortality been lower than that of
last year.
In 1871 the death-rate was 36 . 52 in the thousand, against 38 .9 in 1873; but the latter
result is nevertheless satisfactory, inasmuch as it shows a decrement of mortality to the extent
of 21 .56 in the thousand as compared with the average of the preceding eight years. Another
important fact is to be gathered from these figures, viz. that if the dengue year of 1872
be excepted, the number of patients treated has, during 1873, exceeded that of any other
year of the series.
In the subjoined statement the sickness and mortality exclusive of cholera is
demonstrated:—

Even when cholera is excluded from the account, the year under review shows a slight
increase of mortality over that of 1871, amounting to 1 .74 in the thousand. The death-rate,
however, is much lower than that of any other year, and 9 . 6 less than that of the average
of the eight years ending 1872.

REPORT ON THE CALCUTTA MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS.
special and protracted training. With the same training as nurses receive in English hospitals,
there is, therefore, every reason for believing that they would soon rival in excellency the
nurses who have done, and are now doing, so much to contribute to the comfort and recovery
of the sick in many of the large London hospitals.
" The matron, Mrs. Hickey, requires special mention. In addition to her other heavy
duties, she undertakes the duty of attending upon all the lying-in-women. She has always
done this work satisfactorily, and to show how earnestly and zealously she has devoted herself
to this work, I have only to state that during the past year she has attended about 35 cases'
and, at my request, has gone through a course of instruction in midwifery under Dr. Palmer.
So confident am I of Mrs. Hickey's practical attainments as a midwife, that I contemplate
asking the government, through the medical department, to authorize me to grant her a
diploma."

To HIS HONOR THE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF BENGAL, &C., &C., &C.
HON'BLE SIR,—We have the honor to submit for your Honor's information the following
statements, accounts, and annual returns of the Mayo Native Hospital :
—
No. 1.—An abstract account of the income and expenditure of the hospital for the year
1873 compared with 1872.
No. 2.—A statement showing the expenditure of the hospital in greater detail.
No. 3.—A statement of the stock or property of the hospital at the close of the years
1872 and 1873 respectively.
The expenditure of Rs. 1,689-1-11 in excess of income is owing to the cost of repairs
and alterations of the premises No. 7 and No. 8, Hospital Lane.
The statement of stock shows an increase owing to extraordinary subscriptions received
in aid of the building fund.
We feel much pleasure in pointing out to your Honor's notice the great number of
patients to whom this charitable institution with its dependent dispensaries has afforded
medical and surgical aid during the past year.
We request the original papers above adverted to may be returned to us when no longer
required.
We have the honor to be,
