REPORT

AND ON VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1924-25.
Section I.—Sanitation and Vaccination.
METEOROLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO FOOD SUPPLY.
Rainfall in Ajmer.
1. During the year under report 34.47 inches of rain were registered in Ajmer
against 13.23 inches in 1923, the average
for the previous six years being 13.65 inches.
2. The rainfall during the monsoon season from June to September was 31.55
inches, as compared with 12.61 inches during the monsoon of 1923, showing an
increase of 18.94 inches.
3. This provided sufficient water in all the tanks and wells throughout the
District except in the Merwara Sub-Division where it was defective and did not
give sufficient water to the tanks.
Rainfall in Indian States.
4. The Rainfall recorded in Rajputana which was above average in almost
all the States was on the whole good. In Bikaner it was a little below the average
while in Jhalawar, Kotah and places in
Mewar it was much in excess. In the Kotah
State where it was considerably above the average or nearly double of it the Jowar
and Makka Crops greatly suffered in consequence. The State of Bharatpur and
in a lesser degree the States of Alwar and Jaipur suffered from floods caused by
bursting bunds. The fodder and water supplies were sufficient.
VITAL STATISTICS, BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Births in Ajmer-Merwara.
5. According to the Birth Returns 16,505 births were registered in 1924
against 16,137 in the previous year showing
an increase of 368.
6. Of the total births registered 8,964 were males and 7,541 females. The
birth rate was 33.33 per mille of population against 32.56 per mille in 1923. The
percentage of male to female births was 118.8 as compared with 113.52 in the
previous year.
7. During the year under report the birth rate exceeded the death rate by
8.37 per mille as compared with 6.95 per mille in 1923.
Deaths in Ajmer-Merwara.
8. The total number of deaths registered during the year under report was
12,364 against 12,691 in 1923 showing a decrease of 327. The decrease was due
to low mortality from all causes of death.
There was however an increase in the
number of deaths from Cholera, Small-Pox and Respiratory diseases.
9. The death rate per mille of population was 24.96 as compared with 25.62
in the previous year.
10. The mortality among children under 5 years of age was 50.55 per cent. of
the total deaths against 53.40 in the previous year.
11. Children of under one year died a percentage of 30.36 of the total deaths
registered against 30.08 in 1923.
12. There was no epidemic disease in Ajmer-Merwara throughout the year
under report except 32 deaths from Cholera, 619 from Small-Pox and 1 from
Plague against 9 from Cholera, 42 from Small-Pox, 5 from Plague and 7 from
Influenza but in my opinion many of the deaths attributed to Fever and Respira-
tory diseases were really due to Influenza.
13. 8,932 deaths from Fever were reported against 9,805 in 1923 showing a
decrease of 873.
AND ON VACCINATION FOR THE YEAR 1924-25.

Section II.—Dispensaries.
STATEMENT A.
Number of Dispensaries.
53. The number of Hospital and Dispensaries at the close of the year 1923
was 178. During the year under report a new Dispensary was opened at Mandawa
in the Jaipur State but as the one at Pahari in the Bharatpur State was closed
the number at the close of the year under report remained the same as in last year,
viz., 178.
54. The Dispensaries are classified as under :
I State Public
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
II State Special .
.
.
.
.
.

.

III Private Non-Aided (i.e., Indian States) . . .

178
55. Besides these there were seven Mission Hospitals and Dispensaries and
one Hospital and nine Dispensaries of the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Rail-
way within the limits of Rajputana in the beginning of the year. The Mission
Hospital in the Dhan Mandi at Ajmer was closed during the year and there were
therefore six Mission Hospitals and Dispensaries and one Hospital and nine
Dispensaries of the Railway Department at the close of the year under report.
Improvements and additions to Hospitals and
Dispensaries.
56. Jaipur.—A sum of Rs. 7,178 was spent in affecting improvements and
additions to the buildings of the Mayo
Hospital.
57. Dungarpur.— Vijaya Hospital. A Ward to fit to accommodate 4 in¬
patients was completed besides the sweepers' hut and a shed of corrugated iron
sheets to the Chief Medical Officer's quarter were added.
58. Kotah.—The new Office for the Chief Medical Officer and certain additions
to his residential quarters which were sanctioned last year were constructed during
the year and taken over for work. A set of four new quarters for Compounders
at the City Hospital, Kotah, which were sanctioned during the year are under
construction.
STATEMENT B.
Attendance at Hospitals.
59. During the year under report the number of Patients treated at State
Public, State Special and Private non-aided (i.e., Indian States) Dispensaries and
Hospitals amounted to 1,757,213 against 1,593,366 in 1923 showing an increase
of 163,847 which is mainly due to the extent of Malarial fever and eye diseases.
The increase in Malaria was due to heavy rainfall in the whole of Rajputana except
Bikaner.
60. Out of the total number of patients treated 22,117 were in-door and
1,735,096 out-door as compared with 21,297 in-door and 1,572,069 out-door in
1923.
The number of deaths rose from 669 in 1923 to 721 in 1924 and the ratio of
mortality from 3.14 per cent. in 1923 to 4.44 per cent. in 1924.
STATEMENTS C (I) AND C (II).
Diseases Treated.
61. In Statement C (I) the number of deaths under each head of diseases
treated in the in-door department is shown. 22,117 in-patients were treated with a
mortality of 721 against 21 ,297 in-patients and 669 deaths in 1923.

447 in 1923 and 523 in 1922—of these 214 were in Bikaner, 144 in Mewar, 37 in
Marwar, 34 in Jaipur and 27 in Kotah.
Leprosy.
66. Four hundred and ninety-four Lepers received treatment in 1924 (of
these 203 in Jaipur) against 438 in 1923 and 359 in 1922.
Tubercular Diseases.
67. 1,884 cases of Tubercle of the Lung and 1,718 of other Tubercular diseases
were treated during the year under report against 1,756 and 1,592 respectively
in the preceding year.
Snake Bite.
68. Anti-venine is kept in stock in most of the main Dispensaries and used
for the treatment of Snake poisoning when opportunity offers.
Dungarpur is infected with Snakes mostly of venomous variety. They are
usually out at the close of the Summer and during the rainy season when cases of
Snake Bite were frequently reported.
These cases were formerly mostly fatal,
but with the introduction of the Anti-venin treatment the number of fatalities
has been reduced to zero. During the year under report 40 such cases were report-
ed and treated as above at the Vijaya Hospital, Dungarpur, with no death.
STATEMENT F.
69. This Statement shows the classes and sexes of both in and out-door
patients treated in the Dispensaries of Ajmer-Merwara and Indian States in Raj¬
putana.
This calls for no comments as it is merely introduced for statistical
purposes.
