Remarks by the Executive Engineer, Kanhan Division.
Refering to the report of the Medical Officer in charge of the Lock
Hospital (paragraphs 3 and 12) and the orders given to undersigned by the Brigadier
General Commanding the N agpur Force in which he prohibits the employment
of female laborers in the construction of buildings in the lines of the British
Regiments, the undersigned will take every precaution possible to prevent
women coolies being employed in future.
In the late reconstruction of No. 7 Barrack, Infantry lines, endeavours
have been made to get rid of women coolies, but these have not been altogether
successful. Hereafter it will be distinctly stipulated in arranging all petty
contracts for works, that none but male laborers are to be employed, and should
this tend to enhance labor rates (a result which the undersigned does not antici-
pate, as boys can be employed in larger numbers on works instead of women
,coolies) a reference will be made in the matter to the Chief Engineer for orders.
Remarks on the foregoing by the Senior Medical Officer, British Troops.
With reference to the accompanying Annual Lock Hospital Report for
1879, and the remarks thereon by Brigadier General DeBerry, Commanding
Nagpur Force, I have the honor to concur with the views expressed on the
following points :—
1. That the apparent increase in venereal disease as compared with last
year's return is due to cases originating at out-stations being this year included
in the return.
2. That the near neighbourhood of unprotected stations such as Sita-
buldi and Nagpur very much damages the efficacy of the registration system in
Kamptee. I hold a strong opinion that, however imperfectly the Health Post
.at Sitabuldi may have worked, it was a retrograde step to abolish it means
should rather have been employed to render it efficient, and extend its action.
3. That, however, the main local causes of venereal disease are, the em-
ployment of coolie women in large numbers in the building of barracks in the
European lines, and the prevalence of prostitution on the sly within the
regimental lines among native female servants and the wives of syces and camp
followers, These women, being ostensibly respectable, or living with their
husbands, cannot be interfered with by the police without direct evidence, which
evidence, owing to a mistaken sense of honor (!) on the part of the soldier, is
notoriously difficult to procure.
I may observe that in my experience the Cantonment police have at all times
shown zeal and done their utmost to assist in obtaining this evidence.
4. That the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2 and 3 sufficiently
explain the small number of prostitutes on the register in Kamptee.

Before submitting the Lock Hospital report and its accompaniments,. I would
take the opportunity of recording the following few remarks:—
The police of Kamptee is not, I Consider, nearly so much to blame for
clandestine prostitution in Cantonments as are the Regimental authorities.
For the past six months or more, no one could have done better than the
Inspector of Police and the European Constable at this station to ascertain and
bring up the unregistered women found associating with the European soldiers,
while not a single case of clandestine prostitution was brought to light through
out the year by the Regimental police.
If soldiers were punished for refusing to point out the women from whom
they had caught disease, it would be a much simpler matter to bring all unregi
s t e r e d w o m e n o n t h e r o l l o f p u b l i c p r o s t i t u t e s , a n d t h u s o b t a i n t h e n e c e s s a r y
check upon them. During 1879, out of the number of women pointed out by
soldiers as having diseased them (and such number was by no means large) 16
were found on medical examination to be entirely free from any such disease.
In the majority of cases received into the Regimental hospitals, soldiers when
called upon to point out the women, say either that it was too dark for them to
see the woman, or that they themselves were so drunk as to be able to say who
the woman was with whom they had associated.
I addressed the Officer Commanding 33rd Regiment three times during the
year, and the Officer Commanding R. A., once, asking their co-operation. in dis
covering the women who were unregistered, and who were diseasing the men of
their respective regiments, and suggesting that men should be made to point out
such women.
Unless the Regimental authorities will act with the police warmly and zeal
ously, the latter cannot, I submit, be held entirely responsible, and I would go
further and say that the police cannot do as much as they otherwise might and
would.
As regards the number of women whose names have been struck off the
register during 1879, I find the following are the facts:—

No women are struck off the register on account of marriage until it is
clearly shown that the marriage has taken place, and even then the Police Inspec
tor is directed to keep an eye on the woman, in case she recommences her former
occupation of prostitution.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LOCK HOSPITAL, JUBBULPORE,
FOR THE YEAR 1879.
From Major W. L. Noverre, Cantonment Magistrate; Jubbulpore, to the Secretary
to the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces, Nagpur,—data Jubbulpore,
the 11th March 1880.
I am directed by the Cantonment Committee to forward the report on the
working of the Lock Hospital at this station for the past year, as also minutes
recorded thereon by the Senior Medical Officer British Troops. Copy of a
resolution passed thereon by the Committee is also submitted.
Extract from the proceedings of the Cantonment Committee assembled at Jubbulpore
on the 10th March 1880.
Read Annual Report on the working of the Lock Hospitals in the Can-
tonment and City Jubbulpore for the year 1879.
Resolved that the report be forwarded for information of the Chief Com-
missioner.
From the Senior Medical Officer B. F., to the Cantonment Magistrate, Jubbulpore,
dated 23rd January 1880.
The undersigned has no observations to make on the Lock Hospital report
further than to confirm the remark of the Medical Officer in charge relative to
unauthorized prostitution. The marked falling off in the admissions for venereal
in the regiment which followed the detection of the case alluded to speaks for
itself. The woman having been placed promptly under treatment had also I
have no doubt a very salutary influence on other women of the same class.
A. SANDERSON,
SURGEON MAJOR,
Senior Medical Officer, B. F ,
Jubbulpore.
Annual Report of the Lock Hospital, Jubbulpore, for the year 1879, by W.
Alexander Surgeon Major, in Medical charge Lock Hospital, Jubbulpore.
Nos. 1 &amp; 2.—The charge of this hospital has been held by 3 Medical officers
during the year under review, as follows :—
Surgeon Major Sanderson, Army Medical Department, till August 1879.
Surgeon Major Davy, Army Medical Department, till December 1879,
Surgeon Major Alexander from the 26th December.
The accommodation is the same as last year, and the building is in a fair
state of repair.
No. 3.—There has been a marked decrease of venereal diseases amongst the
troops during the year 1878. The ratio per 1,000 of strength, deducting cases
contracted at other stations, has been 191·17, which is much lower than last year,
and the type of disease which has occurred has been of a less serious nature, very
few of the cases having been followed by constitutional symptoms. During the
early part of the year several men were so infected and it was found that they had
24
contracted disease of a virulent type from some unregistered woman, the wife of
one of the barrack servants, who had been practising prostitution, and who was
detected towards the end of 1878.
There has been very little disease amongst the registered prostitutes, the
worst cases having been furnished by those resident in the city. Many of those
admitted have shown very little disease ; and have been taken under treatment
more as a precautionary measure,
I have long been of opinion that the mass of the venereal diseases amongst
the troops at this station has been contracted from women who are not on the
register and who keep clear of detection in the city and elsewhere.
