been 272 against 366 in. 1886.

gimental authorities.

tion during the year, and. is
the building suitable ? If

afford sufficient privacy for
the women under treatment,
or is segregation (and to
what extent) recommended ?
Yes.
14. What changes have been
made in the medical charge

Surgeon J. W. Jerome, M. S., was in Medi
cal charge from 1st January till 8th February
when he made over charge to Surgeon R F.

Date of Surgeon Jerome's appointment 30th
October 1885.
Ditto ditto R. F. Adams' appoint
went, 8th February 1887.
15. Is any extension of the
Rules considered desirable
beyond the present area ?
No.
16. Has the Medical Officer in
charge been invested with

Rules ?
No.
If so, when ?
If not, why ?
Has never been the case in Jubbulpore, the
power being in the hands of the Cantonment
Magistrate.
17. What has been the result of
the measure ?
18. What is the rate of subsist-
ence allowance, and is the
same sufficient ?
The women are dieted. in Hospital accord-
ing to a fixed scale ; which is sufficient. There
is therefore no subsistence allowance given.
19. State clearly to what extent
the Police have or have not
been of service in carrying
out the Rules ?
The Police have brought five women to be
registered, and when breaches of Rules such as,
absence from inspection have been reported
they have searched for the women and brought
them before the Cantonment Magistrate; but
I consider they do not display sufficient activ-
ity in searching for and having registered
women practising illicit prostitution.
20. How many incurable women
are there on the Register
and what measures are re-
commended for their dis
posal.
There are no incurable women on the Regis-
ter.

Suggestions by the Medical Officer in charge of the Lock Hospital for the
better carrying out of the Rules.
No suggestions to make ; with the exception of increased vigilance on the
part of the Police in searching for and bringing up illicit prostitutes.

Report by the District Magistrate or Superintendent of Police.
Received from the Medical Officer on the 9th January 1888.
It is proposed to bring on the Register public prostitutes residing in the
City who can be shewn to have consorted with European Soldiers, but the

of this class.
It is satisfactory to find that there has been a decrease of admissions
among the European troops this year. I have heard it stated, though I do not
know whether it was correctly stated, that there is little or no disease among
the men of the Battery : that it is chiefly confined to the Royal Warrickshire
Regiment. Statement No. 4 does not give details. Such details might possibly
throw some light on the question of the prevalence of disease.
F. C. ANDERSON,
Offg. Dy. Commissioner.
Observations and Recommendations by the Jubbulpore Cantonment Committee.
Report received from the District Magistrate on the 10th January 1883.
The Committee are glad to know that the Cantonment Police have showed
more energy during the year in bringing 5 women to be registered.
As formerly there were over 50 women resident in the city on the register
as compared with 3 at the present time, the Committee fail to see why the City
Police should find it more difficult now to obtain satisfactory evidence than
they did formerly.
With reference to the Magistrate of District remarks in regard to there
being more disease in the Warwickshire Regiment than in the Artillery, the
Committee in the absence of figures can offer no opinion.

Opinion of the General Officer Commanding Saugor District.
Report received from the Cantonment Committee on the 20th January
1888.
The decrease of venereal among the troops during the past year is so far
satisfactory. The disease is however far more prevalent than it should be, and
I trust that the Civil authorities and Police will render their best assistance in
helping to bring about a more satisfactory state of things.
The prostitutes in cantonment are under proper control and I believe that
very little disease is contracted from them. I am of opinion that unregistered
women who live in the city, who consort with soldiers on the outskirts of the
cantonment, cause nearly all the mischief. Until these women are placed on
the register and. periodically examined, I am afraid there will be no permanent
or satisfactory diminution of the disease among the troops stationed at Jubbul-
pore.

No.1646/66
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces,
in the General Department, dated Nagpur, the 14th March 1889.
READ—The annual reports on the working of the Lock Hospitals of Jubbulpore, Kamptee,
Pachmarhi and Saugor, for the year 1888.
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:—
1887.
1858.
Jubbulpore
. . .
. . .
378
493
Kamptee
. . .
. . .
510
413
Pachmarhi
...
...
150
475
Saugor
...
. . .
320
394
In Kamptee there has been a considerable decrease, though the figure is
still high. In the other three stations the ratios have largely increased. This
is attributed, by the Medical officer at Saugor, to the prohibition of registration
and of compulsory examination of women.
2. The orders last referred to have been duly carried into effect at all
stations in these Provinces. The change of system prevents any comparison
of the results of the management of the two years.
3. The expenditure amounted to Rs. 5,900 as against Rs. 5,878 in the
previous year. The Government grant in Kamptee fell from Rs. 1,745 to
Rs. 1,399.
ORDER.—Ordered that copies of this Resolution be forwarded to the
General Officers Commanding at Nagpur and Jubbulpore; also that copies be
circulated as usual.
