Madras, to Brigadier-General:A. KENNEY-HERBERT, Secretary to
Government, Military Department; dated Fort St. George, 30th October
1888, No. 2919.
I have the honor to submit, for the information of Government, a brief report
on the health of British troops in the
Madras Command in 1887, together
with the statements specified in the
margin.
2. The average strength of British
troops in the Madras Command in 1887
was 11,738, the number of admissions into hospital 14,574, the average daily
sick 906, the total deaths 152, and invalided 364. These figures give a ratio of
1241.61 admissions, 77.26 average daily sick, 12.95 mortality, and 31.01 invalided.
per 1000 of strength. Contrasted with the corresponding ratios of the previous
year, we find a decrease of 124.73 in admissions, of 3.37 in average daily sick,
and of 3.20 in mortality, but an increase in invaliding of 7.17.
Of the invalids, 17.55 per mille were sent for change of climate, and 13.46
for discharge from the service.
The average sick time to each soldier was 28.20 days, and the average duration
of each case of sickness 22.71 days, compared with 29.45 and 21.57, respectively,
for 1886.
3. The health of the troops, during the year under notice, has been satisfac
-
tory, the ratio of admissions and deaths comparing favorably with those of last
year, although that of invaliding was higher.
The marginal table shows a slight
increase in the ratio of admissions, but
a decrease in that of deaths and invalid
- e d , a s c o n t r a s t e d w i t h t h e a v e r a g e o f
the previous 10 years.
4. The following table indicates
the sickness, mortality, and invaliding
which occurred under the several groups
of diseases:—

-
validing.
No. 2. Return showing the mortality in and out of
hospital.
No. 3. Return showing the prevalence and mortality of

The Central Station Hospital is well situated and its sanitation has been
satisfactory. There was not sufficient accommodation, owing to the fact that
several batteries over the usual strength were in the station for Artillery practice;
tents had, therefore, to be pitched.
Additional quarters for servants are desirable.
The North Station Hospital is a long one-storied building, well situated, well
ventilated, and comfortable. The Hospital for Women and Children is not a good
one; it was formerly one of the family quarters of the 1st B. I. Regiment,
subsequently converted into a hospital. It has been found defective in many ways
for cases under treatment there, and inconvenience has resulted for want of a
suitable ward for contagious diseases. A well-constructed female hospital is much
to be desired.
The Deputy Surgeon-General reports that the following improvements were
carried out during the year:—
British Cavalry.
1. One single latrine for British Cavalry troops.
2. Additional punkahs to barracks.
3. Temporary stables for 90 horses.
Royal Artillery.
1. Enlarging the forage yard of the Heavy Field Battery.
2. Alterations to and fixing a new pump at No. 4 well, Royal Artillery.
General.
1. Providing lightning conductors for certain Military buildings in Trimul--
gherry.
2. Improvements to central gymnasium.
3. Providing fixed apparatus to gymnasium.
4. Compound wall to female hospital.
5. Well for native followers attached to South Station Hospital.
6. Improving the compound wall of No. 2 magazine within intrenchment.
The following are the improvements in contemplation:—
1. Extension of Trimulgherry cemetery.
2. Reroofing with Allahabad tiles barracks of Regiment, British Infantry.
3. Improving surface drainage of barracks of Royal Artillery and 2nd
Regiment.
4. Two troop lavatories, British Cavalry.
5. Do.
cook-rooms,
do.
6. Residency defences and escort barracks.
7. Quarters for hospital purveyors.
8. Quarters for a park sergeant in charge of armament of intrenchment.
Nagpore Force.— The general health of the troops has been fairly good. The
sanitary condition of barracks has been satisfactory. No overcrowding has
taken place. Plans for the construction of a Military prison are now under
consideration.
Food supplies have been, as a rule, good and varied, but difficulty has been
encountered in preventing the milk from being watered.
The canteen has been well provided. The beer and porter supplied from the
Nílgiri Brewery has been approved, but beer of a lighter quality would be better
for the health of the men; that at present used is described as "too heady."
The water-supply has been abundant, and its quality is favorably reported on.

The Deputy Surgeon-General reports that the following is the list of works
completed during the year :—
1. Constructing 4 cook-houses and 10 wash-houses, C and D range, family
quarters, British Infantry lines, into cook and wash houses at
Kamptee.
2. Remodelling cook-house No. 1, Royal Artillery Barrack at Kamptee.
3. Constructing corrugated iron-sided urinal for British Infantry Canteen
at Kamptee.
British Burma Division.—The general health of the troops in this division has
been good.
The barrack accommodation at Rangoon and Thayetmyo is reported as excel
-lent and suitable in every way to the climate. The buildings are airy, well venti
-lated, and cheerful, and the sanitation in connection with them carefully attended
to. The barracks at Tonghoo are older and inferior to those at the above-men
-tioned stations, but they are still fairly commodious.
The drainage has, in no instance, been found defective.
The water-supply has been abundant, good, and carefully guarded from
contamination.
The diet has been good and varied, the meat of excellent quality, and Euro
-pean and Native vegetables abundant.
During the year the general hospital for British troops at Rangoon in
connection with the forces in Upper Burma was first reduced from 200 to 120
beds, and finally disestablished in November, and in lieu of it 50 beds were added
to the station hospital for the treatment of the sick from Upper Burma.
