STATEMENT B.
Attendance at Hospitals.
86. During the year under report the number of patients treated at State
Public, State Special, and Private non-aided (i.e. Native States) Dispensaries
and Hospitals, amounted to 1,645,798 against 1,492,472 in 1915 ; an increase
of 153,326.
87. The In-door attendance, which fell from 19,397 in 1914 to 18,976 in
1915, rose to 19,876 in 1916 ; and the out-door attendance, which fell from
1,501,388 in 1914 to 1,473,496 in 1915, shows an increase to 1,625,922 in the
year under report. The increase in both departments is very gratifying and
bears testimony to the good work of the Medical Officers of all grades and to
the appreciation of it shown by the people themselves.

1915. The difference of 171 patients between columns 8 and 53 of Statements
B and C (I) respectively is due to the out-door Labour cases (171) being in-
cluded in statement C (I).

C (II) against 1,473,496 in 1915.

122. The Agency Surgeon, Eastern Rajputana States, reports the special
treatments as noted below :—
Dysentery.

124. 2 cases of Tetanus were treated with very satisfactory results with
injections of 3 per cent. Carbolic Acid Solution in combination with ordinary
Sedative treatment. No Anti-Tetanus Serum was given in these cases.
STATEMENTS H AND J.
Financial Statements.
125. Statement H shows the income and expenditure of the Government
dispensaries and hospitals, and only expenditure on those in Native States.
126. The total income of Hospitals and Dispensaries in Ajmer-Merwara
was R23,068 against R21,653 in 1915. This increase is partly due to recovery
of arrears of subscription from one of the Istimrardars, and partly to the fact
that subscriptions from Indians rose from R2,595 in 1915 to R3,865. A sum
of R521 was paid as subscription by Europeans.
127. The invested Capital of the dispensaries in this Division remained the
same as in 1915.
128. In Ajmer-Merwara the total expenditure was R 22,723 as compared
with R19,510 in 1915, chiefly under heads Bazar medicines and miscellaneous
charges.
129. On the expenditure side the cost of Europe medicines increased
from R4,006 in 1915 to R5,635 in 1916; of Bazar medicines from R395 to
R962 ; of miscellaneous charges from R2,616 to R3,007 ; and of buildings or
repairs from R59 to R535.
130. Native States.—The total expenditure on Hospitals and Dispensaries
in Native States of Rajputana rose from R4,53,480 in 1915 to R4,72,800 in
1916. This is due to increase under all heads except " Buildings and Repairs."
The increase in expenditure is attributed to increased cost of drugs and
materials owing to the War and dearness of provisions.
131. Of the total expenditure on Hospitals and Dispensaries in these States,
R94,330 were expended in Jaipur, R67,723 in Marwar, R56,308 in Bharatpur,
