ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LOCK HOSPITAL, KAMPTEE, FOR THE
YEAR 1883.
From Major B. Thomas, Cantonment Magistrate, Kamptee, to the Secretary to the
Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces, Nagpur,—No. J. 104, dated Kamp-
tee, 23rd January 1884.
I have the honor to submit herewith the Annual Report on the working
of Lock Hospital of this Cantonment for the year 1883.
Annual Report on the Kamptee Lock Hospital for the year 1883, by J. Mc N. Don-
nelly, M. D., Surgeon Major, 4th P. W. O. L. C., in Medical Charge Lock
Hospital.
The Hospital is a well constructed masonry building, and affords ample and
very complete accommodation for its inmates. There is
wanting in it very little necessary for the due fulfilment
of the object for which the establishment is maintained.
No changes were introduced during the past year.
I.—The nature and extent of
hospital accommodation.
II.—Changes in the Medical
charge &c.
Surgeon Major J. Mc N. Donnelly, M. D., was in charge
of the Institution from 1st January to 31st December.
The weekly returns of disease were regularly and duly received from the Senior
Medical Officers European troops. Among these troops
the total number of admissions for venereal affections was
95, which compares favourably with those of the previous
year, when the number reached 137. The ratio per thou-
sand also compares favourably with the previous years, being for 1882, 469.08,
and for 1883, 262. In the most important forms of these affections—primary
and secondary syphilis—there occurred, too, a considerable diminution in the
number of cases, the past year showing only 22, while the year which preceded it
showed 38.
No explanation can be offered for these differences, but it is satisfactory to
observe from their consideration a continuation of the steady decrease in this
grave malady which has been taking place for several years back.
The following Statement will place these facts in a clearer light :—

IV.—Whether a Cantonment

special supervision over the
rules &c.
The Cantonment Sub-committee, composed of the
following officers, met regularly once every month to exer-
cise special supervision over the rules and their work-
ing:—
1.—Deputy Surgeon General, Nagpur Force.
2.—Medical Officer in charge Lock Hospital
.
3 . — C a n t o n m e n t M a g i s t r a t e .
No women were employed for any purpose in the neighbourhood of the single
men's barracks, and the regimental police were prepared
to apprehend and hand over to the Cantonment police
any female found entering or loitering near these build-
ings. Periodical health inspections of the men were also made with a view to
the early detection of disorders that prove serious mainly from neglect or
indifference on the part of the subject of them, and are not difficult of treatment
when seen in time.
As heretofore, the control of, prostitution was vested in the Police generally,
special detective agency being employed for the suppression of clandestine
V.—What special measures
have been taken for the control
of prostitution &c.
8
The hospital is far from perfect, but yet no feasible measures for its improve
ment suggest themselves. As an institution for the
relief of suffering and the diminution of the spread of a
great evil, it possesses a strong claim to consideration.
But attempts to extend its benefits to any larger class
than that for whom it has hitherto been maintained must involve the employment
of some detective agency or an activity on the part of the Police that is not
without some serious faults in itself, throwing into the hands of ignorant, and
possibly corrupt men, a power of interfering with the rights of individuals, that
cannot be lightly thought of.
XII.—Any information or
other matters of suggestions
for the improvement of the
rules.

Fr om l i eut enant J. G. Mor r i s, Cant onment Magi st r at e, Saugor , t o t he Secr et ar y
to the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces, Nagpur,—No. 115, dated
30th January 1884.
I have the honor to forward the report on the working of the Lock
Hospital, Saugor. Cantonment, for the year 1883.
J. G. MORRIS,
Cantonment Magistrate.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LOCK HOSPITAL, SA.UGOR,
FOR THE YEAR 1883.
I—The nature and extent of hospital
accommodation ; whether it is suitable,
and whether there has been any change in
it during the year.
The hospital is capable of containing twenty
in-patients, and for that number the accommoda
tion is suitable.
There are two wards, a dispensary and examination room, two bath rooms,
a cook room and four rooms for servants.
There are two latrines, in which dry earth conservancy is carried out, and
the soil removed twice daily. During the past year the walls have been lime.
washed ; there has been no change in the building during the year.
Surgeon Maior J. .W. Strong held charge of the hospital from 1st January
to 6th December 1883 : since then I have been in
charge of the institution.
During the year the Detachment 2nd Leicestershire Regiment, with a
strength of . 207, showed 58 venereal diseases or
280 per thousand.
The forms of the diseases were gonorrhœa 24, primary syphilis 33, se-
secondary syphilis 1 : total. 58.
This shows an increase of 1 case in gonorrhœa, decrease of 6 cases of primary
syphilis,. or decrease 9 cases in the total.
In the Battery of Artillery, out of a strength of 148 men, there were 46
cases or 310 per thousand, against 23 cases or 189.17 per thousand during the year
1882.
The forms of the disease were gonorrhœa 16, primary syphilis 27, secondary
syphilis 3, total 46, showing an increase of 23 cases.
The details of the forms of disease are as follows during the year:—gonor-
rhœa 40; primary syphilis 60, secondary syphilis 4, total 104.
The Senior Medical Officer, British Troops, furnished the Cantonment Magis-
trate with these returns, and they are regularly
submitted to me weekly.
II—Any change in the medical charge
of the Lock hospital during the year.
III.—The extent of venereal disease
among the European Troops.
IV.—Have the returns been regularly
received
.
V.—Whether the Sub-Committee meet
regularly or not.
Regular monthly meetings of the Sub-Commit-
tee are held to discuss the affairs of the hospital.
The following are the Members :—
Senior Commanding Officer, British Troops.
Senior Medical Officer,
Deputy Commissioner.
District Superintendent of Police.
Cantonment Magistrate and Secretary.

and those sent in as having been suspected of disease by the Europeans, at any
time.
The total number of admissions of all diseases
during the past year was 67 against 104 in the
previous year, showing a decrease of 37.
The following table for the past three years will show particulars:.

It will be observed that the admissions for Leucorrhœa have decreased by 26,
primary syphilis decreased by 11, while those for gonorrhœa have in creased by
2 since last . year.
3 cases—1 of gonorrhœa and 2 of Leucorrhœœa—remained render treatment
on 31st December 1883.
The type Of disease calls for but little remark as a rule, it yielded readily
to treatment, but a few cases required a prolonged course of treatment before a
satisfactory result ensued.
X.—Increase or decrease of disease
among the women.
XL—Employment of Dhai.
The Dhai employed has given satisfac-
tion.
As is noted in previous reports the great drawback-to the efficient working
of the Lock Hospital has been the difficulty in
reaching the unregistered women.
1st.—It is known that a number of women carry on clandestine prosti-
tution in both the cantonment and city, more especially in the latter
place, and are not detected e this calls for a better and stricter system
of Police surveillance. On one or two occasions during the year,
owing to an increase in the admissions for venereal amongst the
European troops, it was considered advisable to prohibit the men
from entering the city, after which the admissions rapidly de-
creased.
2nd.—The Regimental authorities should strictly prohibit women of the
cooly class, beggars and grass cutters, &c. from loitering about the
vicinity of European Regimental limits. I do not feel sure how
far this rule is carried out.

they occasionally do.so, but European soldiers never will point out
the women who have diseased them.
4th.—In a monetary point the European soldier resorts to the unregistered
woman, as her charge is usually much less than that of the registered
woman, and this evil, it will.be difficult toesupprees.
Special free quarters are about to berebuilt for the registered women, and the
Cantonment committee have had sanction to spend Rs. 1,000 in this direction.
Fourth class Native Doctor Jeyram has been in subordinate medical charge
during the year.
I find him intelligent and most.zealous in the performance of his duties, and
I have a high opinion of him.
