ment (Sanitary), No. 23-433A., dated 28th October 1875, various items of information
were asked for. The greater portion of such information can only be furnished from the
Magistrate's Office. As regards the efficiency of the rules in checking disease amongst men,
no approach to a satisfactory answer can be given. The Act here applies to a town and
to the shipping that frequent the port. There is no regiment stationed here, and it can
be only by observing the rise and fall of venereal disease in a compact and stationary body
of men, such as a regiment supplies, that satisfactory data could be arrived at.
I am quite satisfied, however, that amongst the sailors who come to the port during
the rice season, there is very, very much less venereal disease now than there used to be
before the establishment of the Lock-hospital. For example, there are, at this present time,
fifteen vessels manned with European sailors in port. Perhaps the average number of the
crew on board each vessel is some eighteen souls—making a total of two hundred and
seventy men. There is not a single case of fresh venereal disease on board any of those
ships.
The appended statements give the details of the working of the Lock-hospital during
1875 :—
First.—There were forty-four registered prostitutes on 31st December 1875.

The total of venereal eases was 124
in 1875, compared to a total of
112 for 1874. Not that I believe
that this difference gives any true
index of the spread or decrease of
this form of disease in the town
and port.

Thayetmyo.—The Lock-hospital at this station has been placed under the Civil
Authorities entirely, as recommended last year. The proportion of European
soldiers treated for venereal during the year is rather in excess of those in
1875, viz. :—

The number of women admitted into the hospital rose from forty-five to sixty-nine
during the year. Those afflicted with venereal, and treated for the same in the
Civil Dispensary, as compared with the year previous, were as below :—

The remarks of the Deputy Commissioner as to the inefficiency of the Medical
subordinate (who is also attached to the adjoining Dispensary) are noticed.
Bassein.—The Lock-hospital here is entirely civil, but during a portion of the
year half a company of H. M.'s 21st Royal North British Fusiliers were stationed
here ; of these only three were in hospital with venereal disease. Notwithstand-
ing the large population of Bassein, and its being a sea-port town, the number of
registered prostitutes still remains at only just one dozen. Dr. Oswald Baker,
I observe, "fears" that this number will not increase until the "trade of Bassein
grows larger, and there is a greater influx of temporary strangers." The admis-
sions into the Lock-hospital were twenty-seven, as compared with twenty-five the
previous year. The admission of males into the Dispensary and the jail hospital
for venereal diseases was-

So that it will be observed Bassein is a place in which the statistics are (as far as
they can be accounted for by the servants of Government) pretty steady. Five of
the prostitutes were punished for breaches of the Contagious Diseases Act during
the year, three with imprisonment, and two more with an alternative of fine. A
new Lock-hospital is much wanted here : I observe that it will shortly be provided.
Henzada.—The Contagious Diseases Act having been extended to this town,
a house was bought as a Lock-hospital. This, however, was found to be not
suitable, and was made over to the Municipality as a committee-room. A properly-
constructed Lock-hospital has since been erected in a suitable place, but not before
the close of the year—consequently the Act, although extended, was not enforced.
Prome.—At this station, also, the Lock-hospital has become an Office for
another department, a new building having been constructed in what appeared to
me to be an undesirable situation. It is a question, however, whether not only
this, but even the adjoining Hospital and Dispensary may not all have to move

I should mention here that numbers of women suffering from uterine catarrh were
detained under treatment, and are returned in this table as gonorrhæa. I myself do not
consider this disease contagious, but others do ; and as venereal was somewhat more preva-
lent amongst the men of the regiment in August last, I deemed it advisable to admit them ;
they were never admitted in previous years. I have no means of comparing the nature of
venereal affections among the women, with their nature amongst the soldiers; this would
necessitate my attending the regimental hospital. There is not a very great amount of
syphilis amongst the prostitutes taken en masse, the greatest amount and the virulent form
is in those who carry on illicit prostitution, and who are a good deal frequented by the
European soldiery, and they are, I am afraid, to be found in all parts of the town. The
admissions during the year were a total of 477, viz., 149 gonorrhæa, 317 syphilis, three secon-
dary syphilis, six bubo, and two condyloma. The disease now prevailing among the women

It will be seen that the number admitted in 1875 with venereal affections exceeds by 229 or
2.46 per cent. of the admissions of 1874.
