Upon this the Surgeon-General remark
—
"Though the number of sick persons in hospital was less in 1879 than in
the previous very unhealthy year, it was still a high number, and in the Camp-
bell Hospital, greatly exceeded the numbers of ordinary years. The cases of
small-pox treated were even more numerous than those of 1878; and though
the disease became less fatal as the epidemic expired, it accounted for 94
deaths. Cholera, though less prevalent in the town generally, showed some
slight excess in the hospitals, and caused 28 additional deaths. This was due to
the reception into the Campbell Hospital in 1879, for the first time, of coolies
from suburban emigration depots suffering from cholera. Malarious fevers were
less fatal than in 1878, as well as less prevalent. Diseases of low condition, as
anaemia and debility, were of equal prevalence, but much less fatal in 1879.
Dropsies were presented in. usual number, but were very fatal. it does not
appear that the name includes cases of the " acute oedema" which have created
some sensation lately ; indeed nothing is said of this affection in the hospital
reports of the town. Respiratory affections, with equal prevalence, were less
fatal than in 1878. Cases of dysentery and diarrhoea were less numerous than
in the former year, but showed a very high death-rate. A fatal form of
dysentery is particularly noted among the seamen ; but it was by no means
confined to them. A high death-rate from dysentery distinguished the year
under review throughout the town and suburbs."
8. The rate of mortality among Europeans and natives respectively in
each of the hospitals during the last six years will be seen from the following
