Description of the Hospital Buildings.
This Hospital is situated, next to the Victoria Technical Institute, in the capacious
bungalow of Messrs. Hormusji and Merwanji Muncherji Cama. It is a well ventilat-
ed and commodious bungalow, with a spacious hall, six wards on the ground-floor
224
The mortuary room is kept quite clean and dry. After the dead body has been for a
few minutes in the mortuary a "siggree" is kept burning there constantly.
In very rare instances, in cases of detention, the dead body is kept for an hour
or two in the mortuary. In such cases the usual methods of sweeping, lime-
washing, and lime-sprinkling are practised, together with a thorough disinfection of
the place.
This mortuary is a large room in the premises, kept clean, with absolutely
nothing in it, except the "siggree."
Plague among the Hospital Staff.
Ten members of the Hospital Staff were attacked with plague in February
1899, of whom six died; they were all from the servant class, residing in their special
quarters which are to the right, and about thirty yards apart from the main building
of the Hospital. This residence has on its rear a large Municipal drain, a big pond
on the right, and a well to the left; below these quarters is the stable of the Hospital.
Previous to these attacks, dead rats were found in these quarters; and, consequently,
the place had to be afterwards thoroughly disinfected, and the residents segregated
into huts specially erected in the open part of the compound to the north of the main
building.

The physical signs present in the cases of pneumonic plague were as in the
annexed charts:—
Dullness of both the lungs, more especially at the base; tubular breathing
with a few rales scattered all over in the bronchial tubes; incessant cough with
quick breathing (Cheyne-Stokes in character), with a peculiar choking sensation:
expectoration, tinged with blood more or less sero-mucoid in character; hæmor-
rhage, at times of a few ounces of dark, red blood; and well-marked cyanosis
before death.
No such casos were subjected to a bacteriological examination.
231
Her bubo was opened on the 16th February 1899, and pus removed therefrom.
She remained convalescent for over two months and was discharged cured of plague
on 22nd April 1899.
Special point of Interest.—Both these ladies were inoculated in February 1898
with Haffkine's serum and on 21st January 1899 with Yersin's serum.
Notes by
the Special
MedicalOfficer.
The report on this Hospital speaks for itself. The Hospital is well-managed
and has done excellent work amongst the Parsi Community.
No. 7.
K. B. Mahomedbhoy Ebrahim Hassum Bhalloo, Plague Hospital
for Khojas.
DONTAD CROSS LANE,
BOMBAY, 24th July 1899.
To THE SPECIAL MEDICAL OFFICER,
PLAGUE OPERATION,
BOMBAY.
SIR,
I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the K. B. Mahomedbhoy
Ebrahim Khoja Plague Hospital, for 12 months, from the 1st of June 1898 to the
31st of May 1899.
2. The Hospital was founded by the late lamented K. B. Mahomedbhoy
Ebrahim on the 26th April 1897, there were no donations or contributions towards
the maintenance of the Hospital, all the expenses were borne by the founder. Dur-
ing his life-time there was no Committee of Management, he used to look after
everything in connection with the Hospital himself. During the first 3 months of
the year under report, Dr. V. Dias was in charge of the hospital during the absence
of the permanent incumbent, Dr. Khwaja Abdulla. Mr. Shirally Ebrahim was the
Manager of the hospital throughout the year. The hospital staff consisted of the
Medical Officer in charge, Dr. Khwaja Abdulla, two Nurses, Mrs. Fernandes and Miss
Manzulla, two Compounders, 4 Wardboys, 4 Ayahs, 1 Hamal, 2 Cooks, 2 Ramoshis,
1 Priest and 2 Metharanis.
3. The hospital is a three-storied building, the ground floor is used
for patients under observation. All the 3 stories are used for patients suffering
from Plague, a part of the second story is occupied by the Office and
Dispensary. A separate four-storied building just near the hospital was rented for
the purpose of accommodating about 60 contacts, and also for the use of the hospital
servants.
4. As regards excreta, they were mixed with strong solution of phenyle,
carbolic lotion, or perchloride of mercury solution and then thrown into the
latrines. The patients were not allowed to use water closets, but each patient was pro-
vided with a bed-pan. The bedding, such as mattresses, &c., were disinfected with the
perchloride lotion or strong solution of phenyle, allowed to dry and then handed
over to the Dhobi for washing, in majority of cases the mattresses were
burnt.
234
Absolute rest to both mind and body. If the bowels are constipated, I give an
enema of soap and water. In children I prescribe Santonine with a few grains of
Calomel. If the patient cannot swallow anything, I generally give milk and medi-
cine by enemata. To/illrelieve thirst soda water is given freely. I do not recommend
the use of ice. If the temperature is high, I apply ice to the head; if the
temperature is not very high, I cause Eau de Cologne or rose water to be applied
to the head. Mustard foot-bath is also given. Goat's milk is rubbed on the
hands and feet when the temperature is high and brain symptoms present. In
old and weak persons, if the temperature is not very high, I do not apply anything
to the head.
Application to the bubo:—If the bubo is small, I apply poultice; if it is large, I
apply an ointment of Pharbitis til seeds with vinegar, and when the acute symptoms
have subsided Belladona and Mercurial ointment, and finally if the bubo shows sign
of suppuration, I apply poultices aiad open it like an ordinary abscess under strict
antiseptic precautions. If the bubo is very large and the pain is so intense as to
give me cause to apprehend that it alone will kill the patient, I open the bubo.
Whenever the bubo is situated in places where there are loose tissues, I apply
leeches.
Medicinal treatment.—If the temperature is not very high and if there are no
complications, I give my decoction which I continue up to the time of convalescence,
and even during convalescence, I continue the same till the patient is discharged. If
there are lung complications, I give two mixtures alternately, (my decoction and
stimulants) with poultice to the chest and back, ice to the head, &c. When there
is diarrhoea, I do not give my decoction but depend for a time on Hewlett's Pepsin
Mixture with stimulants, and when the diarrhœa has ceased, I continue either my
decoction or stimulants according to the symptoms present, if the pulse is failing I
give a subcutaneous injection of Ether, Digitalis and Strychniæ.
Lustig's Serum:—Two cases were treated by Dr. Galliote by Lustig's Serum 7
both proved fatal.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
KHAJHA ABDULLAH, L.M.S.,
Medical Officer in charge.
Notes by the
Special Medi-
cal Officer.
This Hospital is situated in a densely crowded locality and the surroundings are
very insanitary. I must say that I think that the place is badly situated for treat-
ment of plague cases. Nevertheless the Hospital was thoroughly well looked after
and the Khojah Community have brought their sick to Hospital having great faith
in the kind way in which they were attended to by Dr. Khajha Abdullah, the
Medical Officer. The Khojah Community has suffered an incalculable loss in the
death of the founder and maintainer of this Hospital, Khan Bahadur Mahomed-
bhoy Ebrahim. I frequently visited this Hospital and was always interested in tha
cases which I found there.

Report on the Stuart Strong Plague Hospital at Colaba
from the 1st December 1898 to the 31st May 1899
No. 8.
The idea to erect a temporary Plague Hospital for the benefit of the inhabitants
of Colaba, who for the greater part are poor mill operatives, cartmen, and domestic
servants, emanated from Khan Saheb Mahomed Faridudin, whose intimate knowledge
of local conditions, and close touch with the various communities at Colaba, had
forced upon him the conolusion, that the only moans to instil entire confidence into
the then terror-striken minds of the people would be the erection of a hospital,
thrown open to all creeds, castes, and conditions of people, a hospital, in which a
patient could be attended by his own kith and kin, and where his caste prejudice
would not be interfered with.
On his initiative the Colaba volunteers formed themselves into a Committee on
the 2nd Oatober 1898, and were able to admit the first patient into the hospital
on the 5th December 1898.
The opening ceremony was performed by His Excellency the Governor on the
23rd December 1898, who at the desire of the Committee named the hospital after
the then District Officer, Lt. H. S. Strong, the. Stuart Strong Hospital.
The following is a list of the Members of the Committee:—

The wages of the staff (excepting those to Ramosies, which were paid by the
Municipality) and part of the maintenance expenses were defrayed by public sub-
scriptions, collected from time to time by members of the Committee, while the
Municipality supplied furniture, clothing, water, medicines, disinfectants, and
latterly also certain provisions used at the hospital. The warmest gratitude of the
Committee is due to the District Officers, Captain Lock and Lieut. Strong, for the
great interest both gentlemen have at all times taken in the welfare of the Hospital,
and their constant exertions on its behalf, to which entirely is due the exceptional help
that the Committee has enjoyed on the part of the Municipality.
Attached is a list of donors, who helped the Committee to carry ont their work
by coming forward with subscriptions in aid of the Maintenance Fund. The Com-
mittee takes this opportunity of again tendering them their hearty thanks.
At the same time, I attach a balance sheet showing, how the whole amount
collected up to the 31st May, has been applied.
