MILITARY DEPARTMENT, 19TH AUGUST 1880, No. 5253. 5
drinking is ordinarily shewn is dyspepsia. 705 admissions for this are returned ; it
is quite safe to assume that the half of them were due to drink. The diseases under
which illness caused by a debauch of drink (as distinguished from habitual drink
-ing) are usually shewn are simple continued fever and febricula; in the present
year the combined admissions from them were 1,370: it would not probably be an
overstatement to say that one-fifth of this number were due directly to drink.
The amount of indirect causation of disease by drunkenness cannot be guessed,
nor can it be shewn in how many instances accidental or other injuries had their
origin in this habit. An example of the extent to which the efficiency of the force
is weakened by the intemperance in drink of so many of its members is illustrated
in a battery of Royal Artillery, which arrived in the country in the beginning of
the year. Towards the end of the year, four invalids were sent home from it—one
man for the effects of an accident resulting from intemperance ; one for disease
produced by intemperance ; and one for constitutional disease aggravated by
intemperance ; the fourth man was sent home for secondary syphilis.
In connexion with the subject of drunkenness, it may be remarked that the
working of the new regulations for canteens is adverted to in the reports received
from the various medical officers. A majority of those who report think that the
regulations have been useful; they say that the men do not now drink largely just
before the canteen is shut ; with plenty of time in which to drink, they drink
leisurely what they want only. Some medical officers think that drunkenness has
been increased by the absence of restriction in the quantity of beer which may be
purchased. The medical officers of the two depôts, Wellington and Poonamallee,
writing independently of each other, both say that the regulation is unsuited to
such places, as the men, having little or nothing to do, spend too much of their
time in the canteens. The issue of the (optional) spirit dram is objected to, as
it initiates a habit of drinking in young soldiers.
Accidents. —Of the 14,737 admissions into hospital amongst the troops during
the year, 1,112 were on account of accidents, being about one admission in every
thirteen ; the rate is higher than in the preceding year by about 10. per 1,000 men.
Fourteen deaths were due to accidental injuries, being one death in about every
twelve of the whole which occurred in the Command.
The accidental deaths were due—to drowning, nine ; to suffocation, one ; to
concussion of brain, one ; to injury from being buried under a fall of earth, one ; to
a shark bite, one ; to a gunshot, one.
One homicidal injury—
a bayonet stab—caused an admission. There were nine
admissions from self-inflicted injuries and six self-inflicted deaths, namely, hanging,
two ; drowning, one ; gunshot, three. There were three admissions after corporal
punishment.
The relation of sickness and its results to particular stations in the Command
is shown in the following table :—

MILITARY DEPARTMENT, 19TH AUGUST 1880, No. 5253.
Officers.—In an annual average strength of 433 officers of British troops, there
were 299 cases of illness and three deaths (in the Command), twenty-six officers were
invalided home on account of illness; the rates deduced from these figures are,
for attacks of illness 690.5, for deaths 6.93, and for invaliding 60.05, per 1,000 of the
strength respectively. The rate of sickness is 87.8, the rate of deaths is 13.43,
and the rate of invaliding is 10.09, per 1,000 lower than in the preceding year. One
officer was attacked with cholera (at Thayetmyo). The deaths of the officers were
due—to remittent fever, one; abscess of the liver, two.
Women.—In a strength of 1,108 women, wives of the non-commissioned officers
and men, there were 1,296 admissions into hospital for sickness and twenty deaths
(in the Command), being in the annual rates of 1169.7 and of 18.06 per 1,000 of the
strength respectively.
Children.—In an annual average strength of 2,109 children of non commis
-sioned officers and men, there were 1,515 admissions into hospital and 113 deaths
(in the Command), being in the rates of 718.3 and of 53.58 per 1,000 of the strength
respectively; it may be noted that the death rate is 26.38 higher than that for
children of the same ages in England.
In addition to the ordinary infantile diseases of Europe, ague ague caused a relatively
large amount of illness; and three children were attacked, all fatally, with cholera.

Sanitary—Reports and Returns.
Read the following paper :
—
No. 308.
From Brigadier- General GODFREY CLERK, Adjutant-General, to
Colonel E. L. HANKIN, Acting Secretary to Government, Military
Department ; dated Fort St. George, 15th August 1881, No. 326.
In forwarding the Sanitary Report of British Troops for the year 1880, I am
directed to state, for the information of Government, that the duplicate copy of the
report has been forwarded to the Under-Secretary of State for War, with the fol-
lowing remarks on some of the subjects noticed in the report by the Surgeon-
General, Her Majesty's Forces :
—
I.—The casemated barracks, occupied by the battery of garrison artillery
in Fort St. George, are objected to by
Barracks, page 2.
the medical authorities on account of
their being hot and unventilated.
There, is however, no room in Fort St. George to erect other barracks for
this battery. If the garrison is permanently reduced to a half-battalion of British
Infantry, the Artillery could be accommodated in a part of the Infantry barracks.
It will be observed that, notwithstanding the objections to these barracks, the men
occupying them are healthier than those in the Infantry barracks.
II.—The barracks of the Royal Horse Artillery at Bangalore are nearer the
native town than are those of the Field
Page 3.
Batteries or the British Cavalry. If
British Cavalry is permanently withdrawn from Bangalore, it is proposed to quarter
the Royal Horse Artillery in the British Cavalry Barracks.
III.—When the Surgeon-General ' s report is printed, and copies circulated to
Page 3.
divisions and districts, attention will be
called to the remarks about the defective
carrying out of the dry-earth system. All requisite apparatus is furnished, and
the attention of the regimental authorities will be directed to this subject, in view
to the system being efficiently carried out.
IV. —With regard to the public latrine alluded to as in too close proximity to
the British Infantry barracksat Rangoon,
Page 3.
the General Officer Commanding British
Burmah Division was recently addressed on the subject. The barracks are near
the large Buddhist pagoda of Rangoon, to which thousands of Burmese flock. To
prevent the whole ground in the vicinity being used for the purposes of nature, a
latrine has been erected by the Municipality.
