XI.—How far dhaies are employed, and with what results.
No dhaies are employed.
XII.—Any information on other matters, or suggestions for improvement of the rules.
No suggestions are offered other than such as are included in the body of the report.
Statement No. III.—The total expenses of the year were Rs. 1,294-11-11, shewing a
decrease of Rs. 145-15-8 as compared with the previous year. A fair decrease is also
observed in comparison with the expenditure of 1875 and 1874.
The cost of diet shews a considerable decrease. The principal saving, however, is under
the heading " Contingencies."
From the Deputy Commissioner, Henzada, to the Commissioner of the Pegu Division,—No. 74-22, dated
the 18th January 1878.
I HAVE the honour to submit the lock hospital report for the past year prepared by
Dr. Godbier, Medical Officer in charge. The working of the institution has been on the
whole not unsatisfactory. The average on the register numbered eight at the opening of the
year and closed with 16, their attendence for periodical inspection has been regular, and
the returns shew that disease has been on the decrease, the total treated in the year under
report being 70 against, 95 in the previous year.

before being permitted to resign, as in my opinion they invariably resign for the pur-
pose of evading the medical examinations, and as there is immunity to a certain extent from
apprehension, they continue their avocation clandestinely.
There has been a change of matrons. The one formerly employed was dismissed for
conniving at the absconding from hospital of two women under treatment. One was
apprehended and punished : the other has not been heard of.
The total expenditure during the year, for all purposes, amounted to Rs. 904-3-1, against
Rs. 765-0-9 of the previous year. The entertainment of a cook was necessitated in Septem-
ber, owing to the admission of patients into hospital. All the charges incurred were paid
from provincial funds.

REPORT
ON
LOCK-HOSPITALS, BRITISH BURMA,
For the year 1878.
( 3 )
hospital was 5.6. The returns of the European troops, if correct, show a very
satisfactory improvement on the figures of the previous year. Fines were levied
under the Act to the amount of Rs. 270, but the particulars of the cases are not
given. Ten women suffered fine or imprisonment for carrying on illicit prostitu-
tion. At Toungoo, there were on an average thirteen women on the register. The
actual number of women practising prostitution in Toungoo must of course have
been far greater than this. The attendance of the registered women at examina-
tion (84 per cent.) was good. Fourteen women were reported for non-attendance,
and in five cases punishment to the extent of eight days' imprisonment (the
maximum allowed by the Act) was inflicted. There was comparatively little
sickness among the women. The statistics of the European troops at this
station, as given by the Civil Surgeon, differ very materially from those given
by the Deputy Surgeon-General ; but from either, it would appear that the
ratio of venereal complaints per mille of the average strength exceeded that of
the previous year. From a comparison of the statistics of the disease among the
troops and among the registered women it is evident that the men must have con-
tracted it in many cases, and especially in the last four months of the year, from
unregistered women. Every effort should be made to bring these women under
surveillance. The native troops at Toungoo were remarkably free from venereal
disease. Out of an average strengh of 800 men, there were only two admissions
during the year. There is nothing in the report of the remaining lock-hospitals
of Prome, Bassein and Henzada, which calls for special remark.
5. The officer responsible for the management of the lock-hospitals through-
out the year was Dr. Oswald, Deputy Surgeon-General. Dr. Oswald visited every
hospital, except Akyab, and found them all in fair order. He was unfortunately
transferred from this province before the annual review was written. His successor,
Dr. Joseph, being new to the province, has been under a disadvantage in writing
his review. From Dr. Joseph's twelfth paragraph it appears that he adopts Dr.
Oswald's suggestion for the employment of a special detective police force on lock-
hospital duties. The Chief Commissioner's views on the subject of this sugges-
tion were submitted to the Government of India on the 10th April 1878.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy
of this Resolution be forwarded to
the officers named in the margin,
for information.
By order of the Chief Commissioner,
G. D. BURGESS,
Officiating Secretary.
Deputy Surgeon-General, Indian Medical Department, British
Burma division Assistant Quartermaster-General, British Burma
division ; Principal Medical Officer, Queen's Troops ; Sanitary
Commissioner, British Burma ; Commissioners of divisions ;

REVIEW
ON THE
REPORTS 0N LOCK-HOSPITALS IN BRITISH BURMA
For the year 1878.
From Surgeon-Major J. M. JOSEPH, M.D., Deputy Surgeon-General, Indian Medical Department, British
Burma Division, to the Officiating Secretary to the Chief Commissioner, British Burma,—No. 716C.,
dated the 30th June 1879.
IN submitting a summary of the Reports on the Lock-hospitals in British Burma for
the year 1878, I have the honour to state that, having assumed charge of the appointment
of Deputy Surgeon-General, British Burma division, after the close of the past year, viz.,
the 27th May 1879, I can only give but a brief summary of the reports received from the
various Medical Officer in charge of the lock-hospitals in the province.
There are eight lock-hospitals in the province, viz., Rangoon, Thayetmyo, Toungoo,
Akyab, .Henzada, Prome, Bassein, and Moulmein. There has been no change made in the
working of the Acts, which the various hospitals come under, since last report, those at
Rangoon, Thayetmyo, and Toungoo being under Act XXII. of 1864 (Cantonment Rules), and
the remainder, viz., the Akyab, Henzada, Prome, Bassein, and Moulmein Hospitals, under
Act XIV. of 1868.
I.—Nature and extent of the hospital accommodation, whether it is suitable, and whether there has been any change
in it during the year.
The reports from the various Medical Officers in charge of lock-hospitals shew that
the accommodation has been ample, excepting Rangoon, where it is inefficient and unsuit-
able. No changes are reported to have been made.
II.—Any changes in the medical charge of the lock-hospitals during the year.
Surgeon Oswald Baker held charge of the Thayetmyo Lock-hospital until the 12th
December, when, as a temporary measure, Surgeon Hazlett, of the 32nd N. I., officiated
for him during his absence. Mr. Foster, Civil Surgeon, was in charge of the Bassein
Lock-hospital from the 1st January to the 13th December, and Surgeon Oswald Baker for
the remaining 14 days of the year. Surgeons Spencer and Hunter, of the Madras Estab-
lishment, were in charge of the Toungoo Lock-hospital for a short time. At the commence-
ment of the year, the latter was relieved by the present Medical Office in charge (Surgeon
Power) on the 18th February.
III.—The extent of veneral disease among European troops, as hewn by the weekly returns.
The following table shews to what extent the European troops were affected with
venereal disease :—

It is satisfactory to observe that there has been a considerable decrease both at
Rangoon and Thayetmyo, while Toungoo shews an increase of 33.65 over that of the
preceding year.
IV.—Whether a Cantonment Sub-Committee for exercising special supervision over the rules has
existed throughout the year.
No Cantonment Sub-Committees exist in any of the stations, the working of the
rules being under the control of Deputy Commissioners and Town Magistrates.
V.—What special measures have been taken for the control of prostitution, and especially for preventing
the danger arising from unlicensed prostitutes frequenting the lines.
No special measures appear to have been adopted for the repression of clandestine
prostitution, and the control of unlicensed women, other than those authorised by the
Acts.
VI.—How far the registration has been efficient, to what classes it extends, and over what area.
The following table affords the information required under this head :—
