In this and in the subsequent tables each figure is the average of six days
balance experiment with four animals. Considering the Bolarum hay results, it is
seen that the intake of phosphoric acid was consistently exceedingly low and corre-
sponding to this low intake there was a steady loss of phosphoric acid throughout
this period. The lime assimilation fluctuated apparently according to the amount

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL
ABOUT SEGREGATION AND THE REVISED BENGAL
PLAGUE REGULATIONS.
No. 1.
No. 286-T. M., dated Darjeeling, the 3rd June 1897.
From—H. H. RISLEY, Esq., C.I.E., Secretary to the Government of
Bengal, Municipal (Medical) Department,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department.
In Mr. Thornton's letter No. 1181 of the 2nd April, the Govern-
ment of India suggested that either Dr. Lowson or Dr. Reade, who
had worked at Hongkong during the outbreak of plague at that
place, and had "given most valuable advice to the Government of
Bombay," should pay a visit to Bengal for the purpose of advising-
this Government. In my letter of the 13th April, the Lieutenant-
Governor expressed his wish to have the advice of Dr. Lowson on
the question of the measures to be taken in the event of plague spread-
ing to Calcutta.
2. Before this correspondence took place the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor had already had under consideration the question of modifying
some of the regulations issued under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897,
in the light of the experience gained in combating plague in Western
India. That experience seems to show that the distinction between
isolated cases and a well-defined outbreak, which was recognised
when the Bengal Regulations Nos. 4 and 5 of 10th February were
framed, cannot be safely maintained, and that whatever precautions
may be authorised by law should be brought into force directly a
single case occurs. Regulations Nos. 6 and 7 of the 12th March are, it
is true, not based upon this distinction, but they are not as comprehen-
sive as Nos. 4 and 5 of the 10th February, and in respect of segrega-
tion they are far more severe. It also appeared desirable that the
Bengal regulations should conform as closely as possible to those in
force in neighbouring provinces.

3. While these points were being considered, representations
were received from the Muhammadan community and the Indian
Medical Association on the subject of the regulations, and it came
in various ways to the Lieutenant-Governor's notice that some alarm
had been caused among both Hindus and Muhammadans by the
prospect of the existing plague regulations, especially those relating to
segregation, b.eing brought into force. In order to allay the apprehen-
sions of the native community, without abating the stringency of the
measures necessary to combat the plague successfully in this province,
the Lieutenant-Governor caused a fresh set of rules to be drafted and
circulated to a number of representative Muhammadan gentlemen
for opinion. A deputation of Muhammadans was at the same time
received by the Secretary to this Government, who on two occasions
discussed at great length with them and with the Commissioner of
Police, Calcutta, and the Chairman of the Calcutta Municipality, the
points which they considered open to objection in these draft rules.
They have since submitted a memorial which, with the letter of the
Indian Medical Association expressing the views of the Hindu com-
munity, is enclosed in original. These memorials have been fully
considered, and the requests therein made have, as far as practicable,
been given effect to in the. enclosed draft Regulation No. 8.*
4. Just as the regulation was ready for publication, Dr. Lowson
arrived in Bengal, and the Lieutenant-Governor thought it right to
consult him on the subject. After making a thorough inspection of
Calcutta and Howrah with reference to the facilities for combating
an outbreak of plague in either town, Dr. Lowson has expressed his
views on the subject of segregation in the letter of the 1st June,
copy of which is annexed.* It will be seen that in his opinion the
system of home segregation authorised by rule 31 of the draft regula-
tion is likely to prove absolutely ineffectual in the event of even a
few cases of plague occurring, and that to proceed on these lines is
to court disaster, The Lieutenant-Governor fully recognises the
social and political objections to enforcing immediate removal to
hospitals and segregation camps, and at first he declined to modify
the regulation to meet Dr. Lowson's views ; but after once more per-
sonally discussing the question with him, Sir Alexander Mackenzie
is driven to the conclusion that no system of home-segregation could
be successfully worked in Calcutta. It would seem to be unwise to
reject the teaching of experience in a matter of this importance, and
Dr. Lowson attributes much of the mortality in Bombay to futile
efforts in this direction in the early stages of the epidemic, and
failure to realise the imperative necessity of isolating at the earliest

possible stage all sources of infection. His Honour is disposed,
therefore, to substitute for rule 31 the following:—
"If on examination of a sick person the Health Officer suspects that such
person is suffering from or infected with plague, he may cause such person tobe
removed to a hospital, and may arrange for his detention, dieting and medical
treatment therein. He may also cause the other occupants of the house in which
such person resides to be removed to a segregation camp and to be detained under
observation for ten days.
"When particular castes or classes of the community have constructed at their
own cost private hospitals and segregation camps, the site and plan of which have
been approved by the Health Officer, and have arranged, to that officer's satisfac-
tion, for the medical administration of such hospitals and camps, sick or suspected
persons may, if they so desire and if accommodation is available, be removed to
the private hospital or segregation camp constructed for the use of the caste or
class to which they belong instead of to a public hospital or camp.
" In both public and private camps and hospitals separate and suitable accom-
modation shall be provided for females, and in the case of a female who, by the
custom of the country does not appear in public, her parda shall be strictly preserved
both in removal to the camp or hospital and during her stay there. The
friends and servants of sick persons shall be permitted to accompany them to hos-
pital, but shall be subject to the same rules as regards segregation as if they were
sick themselves."
5. The Lieutenant-Governor believes that the above rule con-
cedes everything that can reasonably be demanded by the higher
classes of Hindus and Muhammadans. If, as Dr. Lowson has urged,
the hospitals and camps are established in available open spaces
near the houses of the sufferers, but little hardship will be involved
in insisting on removal thereto. As, however, the Government of
the North-Western Provinces has adopted what Dr. Lowson declares
to be a hopelessly impracticable scheme of home-segregation, and
has thereby greatly increased the political difficulty of introducing
more stringent measures, I am desired to submit the question for
the orders of the Government of India. The Lieutenant-Governor
is not prepared to adopt a system which the expert placed at his
disposal declares to be fatal in its results and condemned by all ex-
perience. There appear to be three possible courses open to us :—
(1) To enact the draft regulation as it stands, trusting that
the plague may not reach Calcutta and Howrah, or, if it
does, that the clause requiring deposit of the cost as a '
condition precedent to house-segregation will deter all
but a few families from applying for the privilege. It may
be added that should an outbreak occur the panic would
be so great that the most stringent measures might then
be adopted without provoking resistance, but by the time
the disease had spread to the extent of causing a panic it
would probably be too late for segregation to be of any use.

(2) To enact the draft regulation, substituting for rule 31 the
draft rule given above. This will undoubtedly be unpo-
pular, and it may be said that if Calcutta escapes plague
the prejudices of certain classes of the people will have
been excited to no purpose. This, however, is the course
which, in the Lieutenant-Governor's opinion, ought to be
followed, and it can be justified by the experience of
Western India.
(3) To leave things as they are, relying on the rules contained
in Plague Notifications Nos. 6 and 7 of the 12th March for
the legal means of dealing with plague cases. In Dr.
Lowson's opinion, rule 2 of Regulation No. 6 and rule 3 of
Regulation No. 7 are sufficient to secure the isolation of sus-
pected cases. The reporting of cases has been provided
for in the mufassal by executive order, and in Calcutta by
rule 2 of Regulation No.7. The weak point of both regula-
tions is that they make no provision for the immediate
enforcement of the sanitary precautions contained in rules
17 to 20 inclusive of draft Regulation No. 8, but under
executive orders issued some months ago, all the chief
mufassal municipalities have done as much general clean-
ing up as their funds permitted, while in Calcutta, as the
Government of India are aware, a special staff has been
employed since last October to remove accumulations
of filth. If this course were adopted, the memorialists
might be told that, as plague is now disappearing in the
west of India, the Lieutenant-Governor does not think it
worth while to modify the existing regulations.
6. I am to ask that a very early reply may be sent to this refer-
ence. If the Government of India accept without material modifi-
cation any one of the three courses specified above. I am to suggest
that orders might be communicated by telegram, The return of the
papers enclosed in original is requested.
