that date amounts to 548. In-patients 26. Out-patients
522. Out of the above cases 60 were horses, 414 cattle,
and the remainder sheep, goats, &c. No cases of
castration are reported. Outbreaks of rinderpest
and aptha epizootica were treated, and out of 239
cases of the former 97 were cured, 7 relieved, and the
remainder died, or the results were unknown. The
site at present is not suitable, and steps will be taken
this year to obtain a more convenient one. Taking
into consideration the short time the dispensary has
been established, the results are very satisfactory.

70. Veterinary Graduate Bhatt.—Inspected by me on the 13th March
1896, and found to be in good order. It is satisfactory
to find that through the kindness and liberality of Sir
Dinsha Mánekji Petit the sum of Rs. 10,000 towards the new building has been
made use of this year. It is to be hoped that the new
dispensary, which is conveniently situated, will be fit for
occupation before the rains. The total number of
cases during the year was 1,392 against 1,280 last
year. In-patients 125. Out-patients 1,267. Out of the
above number, 506 were horses, 534 cattle, and the
remainder sheep, camels, goats, &c. Two cases of
castration are reported. The Veterinary Graduate
attended the Friday weekly markets and appears to
have taken prompt measures in dealing with contagious
diseases that appeared there. He paid 128 visits to
owners' houses and attended to the Mounted Police horses, as the Police Farrier
died during the year. He visited Government stallions twice a week and the
Pinjrápole. The dispensary has steadily improved under the present Graduate,
and the report is a satisfactory record of good work done.

71. Veterinary Graduate Manior.—Inspected by me on the 12th March
1896 and found to be in good order, although little use
appears to have been made of the accommodation for
in-patients. The new dispensary, the gift of Sirdár Bahádur Bechardás Viharidás
Desái, was opened on the 7th May 1895. The total
number of cases during the year was 1,574 against 1,383
last year. In-patients 24. Oat-patients 1,550. Out of
the above number 251 were horses, 1,114 cattle, and the
remainder sheep, goats, &c. One case of castration
only is reported. The Veterinary Graduate attended
one outbreak of aptha epizootica in the town of
Nadiád and paid 61 visits to owners' houses. He also
attended the Government stallion at Kaira. Several
valuable milch cattle are kept in the neighbourhood of
Nadiád, and it is evident that the owners made use
of the dispensary. There is a satisfactory increase in the number of cases
treated.
