there is of using every means to reduce as far as possible its spread; but wi t hout
the co-operation of the Police all other measures for checking its prevalence are
rendered futile and . abortive, and at present I regret to say the Police in this
station do not exercise that zeal and vigilance in the performance of this impor
tant part of their duty that they should do. When the above inactivity on the
part of the Police in arresting women engaged in illicit prostitution, as required
by Regulations, is taken into consideration, it will be seen how very unreasonable
the disparaging remarks are which are so frequently made as to the efficiency of
the Lock Hospital system to check the spread of venereal disease.
No. 7.—Eificiency of registration and
extent of area.
The returns in bulk were forwarded to me
from the Cantonment Magistrate's Office on the
30th December 1886.
The. Sub-Committee have met regularly every
month.
The measures in force are similar to previous
years.
Registration is not very efficient, only 12
women being newly admitted during the year.
It works within a radius of four miles from Can
torments.
None are exacted in Jubbulpore.
The women were up to a short time ago only
examined once a week, but now there are two
examinations weekly.
There has been a decrease in the admissions
as compared with last year, 169 women being ad
mitted this year as against 199 last year.
One Dhai is employed, and gives satisfaction
None.
2nd Class Hospital Assistant Raja Ram was in Sub-Medical charge up to
23rd September 1886 : on his transfer to Burma
Sub-Hospital Assistant Soonder Singh performed
the duty till 8th October. On the 8th October 3rd Class Hospital Assistant
Abdul Rahman took over charge, and has given me great satisfaction in the
discharge of his duties.

Proceedings of Look Hospital Sub-Committee assembled at Jubbulpore,
9 th August 1886.
Read Circular Memorandum No. 21, dated Simla, 17th June 1886, from the
Quarter Master General in India, regarding . venereal disease.
Resolved that the Officer Commanding Royal Warwickshire Regiment be
requested to furnish a list of all women employed in any capacity about the
married quarters of the Regiment under his command, stating whether married
or single, and requesting that he will employ some of his men as Military police
to endeavour to put a stop to unlicensed women soliciting men, and so diminish
syphilis which is so prevalent amongst the Troops quartered here.

REGISTER NO. 130.
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER.
With reference to the report on the Lock Hospital of Jubbulpore for last
year, I would beg to submit the following for your information.
It used to be urged formerly that venereal disease was contracted by soldiers
cohabiting with women of the City of Jubbulpore who were unlicensed pros
titutes.
With regard to the Medical Officer's remark, " that there are numbers of
" unregistered prostitutes continually haunting cantonments and its environs is
" well known, and on several occasions I have drawn attention to the, fact of
" these women frequenting certain localities and urged the necessity of action on
" the part of the Police to put a stop to this illicit prostitution which they could
" hardly fail to be aware of but as yet, as far as I know, no steps have been
" taken to remedy this state of affairs," I would beg to annex an extract from
a letter I addressed the Cantonment Magistrate lately on the subject.
It is further alleged that " the Police authorities are apparently passive in
" the. matter and I have never known a single instance where the Police have
" apprehended and brought for examination an unregistered woman." Against
this I beg . to send copies of reports made by me.
At a meeting of the Lock Hospital Sub-Committee assembled on the 9th
August last, it was resolved that the Officer Commanding Royal Warwickshire
Regiment be requested to furnish a list of all women employed in any capacity
about the married quarters of the Regiment, specifying whether married or single.
I have not been favoured with a copy of this list up to date.
Most of the officials had come to the conclusion that the disease was con
tracted by soldiers with women employed at the Barracks.
The Cantonment Police have orders issued them to detect illicit prostitu
tion with soldiers, and I have also instructed the two European Constables to go
about the Cantonments in the evenings to see if they can come across unregis
tered women soliciting soldiers
.
Lately I have noticed that women who have the appearance of prostitutes
do not prowl or lurk about the Cantonment, Formerly they were in the habit
doing,
so doin, many of whom I myself had sent to the Cantonment for enquiry
and found them to be registered prostitutes.

From Surgeon-Major A. Sanderson, M. S., in charge Station Hospital, Jubbulpore,
to the Cantonment Magistrate Jubbulpore, No. 64, dated Jubbulpore, the 3rd
February 1887.
In returning the enclosed I beg to observe with reference to the remark
made by Colonel Fraser, in his letter No. 180, dated 25th January 1887, para
graph 6, " that it is the opinion of most officials that the disease (venereal) is
''c o n t r a c t e d f r o m w o m e n e m p l o y e d i n a n d a b o u t t h e b a r r a c k s ; " t h a t s o f a r a s
my observation goes there are no grounds for such an assertion. The Bengal
Barrack Regulations, paragraph 653, with regard to the employment of women
as coolies, has been always strictly enforced.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Cantonment Committee assembled at Jubbulpore
on the
26th February 1887.
Read the Lock Hospital report and the paper annexed to it.
Resolved—The Committee are of opinion that the action of the Police was
not so vigorous in 1886 as it might have been, but that more activity appears
to have been shown since the commencement of the current year, which it is
hoped will be steadily maintained.

Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces, . _......
dated 14th March 1888.
READ the Anneal Reports on the working of the Lock Hospitals of Subbulpore, Kamptee,
Pachmarhi and Saugor for the year 1887..
RESOLUTION.
The following were the ratios per thousand of admissions into hospital
for venereal disease among European troops at the four Military stations in
these Provinces where Lock Hospitals are established :—
1886.
1887.
Jubbulpore ...
-.

Kamptee

Pachmarhi „,

.... 868
150
Saugor
,.. 168
*320
*The ratio for the Detachment R. W. Regiment appears to have been 320 and not, as stated, 184.
The increase in Saugor and decrease in Jubbulpore were probably due to the
same cause, the transfer of Q. 3 R. A. from the former
place to the latter at the end of 1886. It is shown by
the statistics of former years that, as remarked by
the Deputy Commissioner, Jubbulpore, this Battery
is exceptionally free from venereal disease. The gar..
rison at Pachmarhi is so small that the large decrease in the ratio of
admissions may be only an unimportant fluctuation. The Kamptee ratio is
very high; there seems a steady increase in. the prevalence .of disease among
the troops in this Cantonment, which calls for the earnest attention of the
authorities concerned.
2. All the hospitals are said to have worked satisfactorily. The Medical
Officers at Kamptee and Jubbulpore again press for more activity on the part
of the police in tracing out unregistered women to whom the soldiers resort.
The Medical Officer at Pachmarhi says the police have done better this year.
3. The expenditure was about the same as last year, viz. Rs. 5,878. The
Military Department grant was Bs. 1,745 against Rs. 1,980 last year.
••
ORDER. —Ordered that copies of this Resolution be forwarded to the Deputy
Assistant Adjutant Generals, Nagpur and Jubbulpore, for the information of the
General Officers Commanding the Nagpur and Saugor Districts; also that
copies be circulated as usual.

ward in the centre giving accommodation for 12 beds,
there is a room at each end of the ward, one is used as a
Dispensary and. Surgery, the other as an examination
room, there are also outhouses for cooking and. washing

venereal diseases amongst the European troops (vide
return attached) the total number of admissions have
been for the year 440 against 282 In 1886, the average
ratio per 1,000 has been 510, in 1886 it was 347. This
has been a great increase in comparison with 1886, but
the more serious forms of disease, viz., primary syphilis
6, and secondary syphilis 7 , have not been prevalent,
the greater number of admissions have been from local
diseases as ulcer of penis.

The Cantonment Sub-Committee met monthly during the year, the follow.
ing officers composed the Sub-Committee :—The Deputy
Surgeon-General, Nagpore Force ; the Cantonment. Ma-
gistrate, Kamptee ; the Medical officer in charge of the
Lock Hospital, Kamptee.
The following measures were taken for the control of prostitution and pre-
vention of disease :— (a) No women were employed
for any purpose about, the single men's barracks ;
(b) women found loitering about by the Regi-
mental police were handed over to the Civil police ;
(c) men were prohibited from visiting the grass cutters' lines, R. A., but it
is believed that a good many grass cutters' women practised prostitution ; (d)
European Soldiers admitted to hospital were asked to point the women from
whom they contracted the disease, when they did so, the women were examined
at the Lock and almost invariably were found to be healthy ; (e) the police
were informed of the probable whereabouts of women, when soldiers stated
that they contracted their disease on the roads, near the rifle butts, &amp;c. ;
(f) men arriving at the station were examined for venereal diseases. Periodical
examination of the unmarried European Soldiers were held at the Station
Hospital for part of the year.
Registration is not very efficient, as there are only 52 women on the regis-
ter, this is a small number for a Civil population num-
bering 50,000 and a large Military garrison of 1 Euro-
pean regiment, 1 Battery of Royal Artillery, 1 Native
Cavalry Regiment, 1 Native Infantry Regiment. The
area over which registration extends is 7 square miles.
Ten women were newly registered during the year, the
names of five have been, taken off the list, and 2 women have been absent nearly
the whole year. There has been an increase of 3 women on the register during
the year.
4. Whether a Cantonment
Sub- Committee for exercising
special supervision over the rules
has existed throughout the year,
and what officers composed it.
5. What special measures
have been taken for the centrol
of prostitution, and specially
for preventing the danger aris-
ing from unlicensed prostitutes
frequenting the lines.
6. How far the registration
has -been efficient; to what
classes it extends ; and over
what area Any increase or
decrease in the numbers as com-
pared with previous years should
be explained.
