Rajkot Dispensary.
Non-payment.
82.
Treated.— 1,598 cases—considerably above preceding year—
and of these, the diseases have all been of the usual character, fevers
composing nearly one-third.
83. Surgical.— 104 minor operations. Nothing to remark on.
JAIL HOSPITALS.
Ahmadabad.
84. Health. —The state of health has been less favourable the past
year by comparison, and attributed to atmospheric changes, though
overcrowding is hinted at as occurring during the monsoons.
85.
Dengue. —Dengue also was productive of 10 per cent., but
such cases were remarkably few by comparison with outside com-
munity.
This, it will be noticed, is what happened at Aden Jail in 1871,
in my special report under date December 1871 I asked the follow-
-
ing—" Is it probable that the 16 feet height of wall surrounding the
jail checked the influence of the Shumal, of 26th June, on its in--
mates ?"
The Ahmadabad Jail is e'en more securely protected from exter--
nal atmospheric influences by surrounding walls averaging about 36
feet height.
86.
Hygiene.—The hygiene is perfect, and both sick and casual--
ties few, doubtless that healthful labour is enforced in and out of
doors, and good food provided.
Paucity of sick may be quoted during the hot and dry months,
reverse, as may be expected, during rainy period—heat and moisture
during day, cold and moisture after sunset, and very little out-door
exercise engendering to a low physique.
87.
Diseases.—The same diseases prevail as noted in my remarks
on civil hospital.
88.
Convicts.—Four hundred and thirty-one convicts were trans--
ferred to Dhuliakot Jail, an institution about a mile across the
Sabarmati river, a fine healthful place capable of holding 360
convicts.
The menial offices of the hospital are chiefly conducted by the
prisoners.
Kaira.
89. Hospital. —Nothing of interest to report on last year.
90. Average strength.— But little over 1871-72.
91.
Diseases. —Dengue and fever, as in every other institution
combined to swell admissions.
361
92. Dysentery.— Dysentery at a minimum.
Diarrhœa, loss of opium, poverty, and, perhaps, change in diet, are
assumed causes, atmospheric changes also doubtless.
93.—Casualties.—For—deaths to treated 1.4 against 1.5 preced-
ing year.
94.
Average sick and percentage of Deaths.—Daily average sick
lower than in 1871-72, viz., 6.1 against 6.3, and percentage of deaths
to strength 3.3.
95.
Jail .—The jail, more or less overcrowded, 20 over strength;
but this is met by either transfer to Dhuliakot Jail, near Ahmad--
abad, or provision by tents at night.
197 were transferred during the year, the larger number to Dhu--
liakot.
96. Health.
—Reported satisfactory, but stress is laid on the num-
ber of admissions from injuries sustained from the leather protectors
about ankle-joint.
97. Fetters.
—Chains or circlets should not reach the ankles, and
thong-girths would be less liable to produce ulcers, thongs similar to
saddle girths used at the Cape.
Rajkot.
98.
Jail .—This is also one of the second class, similar to that at
Kaira, capable of accommodating 87 prisoners, cubic space for each
nearly 648 feet—strength 49.
99.
Medical Officer.—The civil surgeon is absent a large portion
of the year on duty, consequently the report is meagre.
100.
Epidemic.— None .
101.
Admissions.— 53 admissions.
102.
Diseases .—Independently of guinea-worm cases occurring
among new arrivals, prior, probably, to becoming inmates, none other
for comment.
103.
Casualties.— 2 deaths during the year—1 old age and diar
-rhœa, 1 after operation from pyœmia and colliquative diarrhœa.
Dohad
104.
Jail.—This is a second class jail.
105.
Strength.— 178
106. Admissions.—288.
107. Diseases.— Ordinary character.
362
108. Casualties.— 9 as follows:
— 4 diarrhœa.
2 bronchitis.
2 pneumonia.
1 remittent fever.
Sadra.
109. Hospital.— This small affair may be passed over without
comment, the strength during the year being 9,
and diseases of the common type.
110.
Admissions.— 26 only.
111.
Casualties.— None.

liberated on expiration of sentence, 4 died, and 17 remaining.
114.
Admissions.— 112 more than previous year.
115.
Casualties.— 4—1
homoptysis, 1 diarrhœa, 1 dysentery, and
1 anæmia.
116.
Depôt .—This being a depôt jail, 719 prisoners were trans--
ferred from Ahmadabad, Kaira, and Surat Jails, 2 re-captured, making
with 382 remaining 1,103; of these 616 were discharged or liberat--
ed, 48 transferred to Ahmadabad City Jail as long-term prisoners, 4
died, 1 escaped, and 434 remaining.
117.
Health .—Like all other reports, and from similar causes, the
health of the convicts contrasts unfavourably with preceding year,
though no epidemic existed, not e'en dengue.
118.
Thermometer .—Maxi mum 110°, minimum 41°.
119.
Pluviometer .—Rainfall 15 inches 36 cents.
120.
Labour. —Brick and road-making, gardening, &c.
121.
Jail .—Irregular quadrangle, large, open space, and well
ventilated.
122.
Conservancy.—Perfect — dry-earth system.
123.
Clothing. —Reported insufficient during the cold and rainy
seasons, and reasonably so.
A ground plan of the Central Jail, Dhuliakot, accompanies.

POLICE HOSPITALS.
Ahmadabad.
124. Constitution and Strength. —This police corps consists of
373 infantry and 115 sowars, these latter Mussulmans,

and Marwar Bheels, using animal food and addicted to stimulants,
specially opiates, to an extent of from 15 to 20 grains daily, but
re-ported not to be injurious.

Outpost duties. Strength.

several outposts, as marginally noted, save
in extreme sickness, the remainder at
head-quarters for duty, chiefly as city
and jail guards.
126. Escorts .—These averaging 41 are
employed on special duties, this service
involving exposure, and thus increasing
number of sick.
Under recent changes the detachments,
numbering 162 at Purantij, Sanund, Dhol-
ka, Dhanduka, Gogo, and Virumgaum,
should be deducted from the above total
of 488, since their sick are treated at the
several dispensaries, and thus separately accounted for and not in-
cluded in the Ahmadabad Hospital return.
127. Health—Although state of health favourable, yet climatic
causes—referred to in other reports—render this report less favourable
than previous year.
128. Diseases. —Ague, as usual, the most prominent, yet, though
dengue prevailed, as an epidemic as usual, only one case came under
notice. This immunity is credited to use of opium.
129.
Admissions.—For
the year 285
—11 remained, 287 dis-
charged, 3 died, 6 remaining ; daily average 6 . 8 against 9 . 4 previous
year ; the percentage of treated to strength, however, is greater, for
that the deductions above referred to were not made in the return
of 1871-72.
130. Guinea-worm .—Beyond diseases of the ordinary character,
so often referred to in other reports, dracunculus, which prevailed in
former years, when outposts were relieved at short intervals, shows
but in two instances, dangerous wells being avoided.
131. Casualties.—Three only against two in previous year. These
arose from circumstances which art or science had no power to
extricate.
364
132. Vaccination.— 46—36 reported successful.
133.
Lines. —From inspections I find these well adapted to the
requirements of the corps, and healthily situated.
134.
Hospital.— Good for 40 beds, and all that can be wished in
this plan of building.
135.
Latrine.—The latrine is upwards of 100 paces from the
hospital, too far for the really sick to travel.
136.
Suggestion.—It is suggested that the sick be treated in the
civil hospital when latter is enlarged, but the distance between lines
and the city is about four miles.
137.
Supervision.— This corps should be placed under charge of
staff surgeon, cantonment.
Kaira.
138.
Hospital.— One long barrack room, condemned—site good.
139. Treated.—468 cases during year; of which 460 were fresh
admissions out of a nominal strength of 746, but the greater majority
being absent on duty from head-quarters, a strength only of 143 re
- m a i n s a t t h i s s t a t i o n .
Nothing novel in diseases or treatment.
140.
Diseases.—Dengue and ague predominating, increase, as
in all other charges, attributed to these.
141.
Casualties.—Three as per margin.
142.
Lines .—Lines good, and on an eleva
-tion.
143.
Health .—General health reported good.
Dohad.
144. Hospital.— About half a mile from town of Dohad, in an
open space, north-west, and proximating the lines, long and airy.
Dead-house under consideration.
145.
Lines .—Somewhat after the fashion of regimental lines.
146.
Latrines.—The jungle—lines kept clean.
147.
Drainage.— Surface .
148.
Temperature.—108° maximum, 50° minimum.
149.
Winds .—North-east and south-west monsoons as occurring.
150.
Strength.— 536—but average at head-quarters 186.
151.
Diseases.— Of the usual character—no epidemic.
152.
Casualties.— 7—1 epilepsy, 1 bronchitis, 1. remittent fever,
1 intermittent, 1 Guinea-worm, 1 dyspepsia, and 1 general dropsy.
No post-mortem allowed in either of the above.
1 Remittent fever.
1 Bronchitis.

DISPENSARIES.
Bachurdass.—Non-payment.
This institution was opened Seven years ago, report very favour

comers, as are all other dispensaries.
153.
Treated out-door.—The total now remaining under treatment
and since treated is seen below, the average daily being 80·6, all show
increase on last year, and gradual increase during five preceding
years:—

requiring more than the ordinary attention of the former, and these

156. Dengue.—As I have already noticed tills disease and other
diseases usually met with in my summary of remarks on Dr. Wyllie's
report on civil hospital and dispensary, and as this and other similar
institutions at Ahmadabad are under this medical officer's jurisdiction,
it will be a work of tedium and supererogation wading through such
, occurring as they do similarly among certain classes; yet I would
casually remark that when the disease was at its highest the attendance
was in an inverse ratio, and for the reasons all were crippled and unable
to walk for relief, superstition also.
For perspicuity sake, I shall take each dispensary seriatim, noticing
aught of remark on its working, and giving a supplementary of
diseases treated, since they are mostly alike in percentages, casualties,
absentees, &c.
157. Bright's Disease.—Interesting cases I may briefly touch upon,
of which there were 2, and in one, after post-mortem, a large stone
46 M D

was found in the bladder, and another in substance of each kidney
—the other left for his home soon after admission.
158. Calculi Vesicœ.—14 are shown, 10 discharged well,4 absentees.
159. Surgical Operations.—These successful operations tend favour-
ably to native feeling and opinion.
160.
Supervision.—The working of this institution, under the
auspices of Sub-Assistant Surgeon Ruttonjee Hormusjee, is most
satisfactory—a very able laborer, and of the class required for every
dispensary.

165. Diseases.—Of the ordinary character, including dengue, yet
few, by reason of superstition, applied for treatment for this disease.
Working .--Very satisfactory.
166. Dispensary.—This is conducted by a very able Senior Apo-
thecary, Mr. George, an old and deserving warrant officer of the
stamp necessary for carrying out the requirements of Government in
relation to these institutions.
167. Treated and non-paying .-7 ,000 being an increase of 1,641
on 1871-72 in this non-paying institution, vide payment system at
Ahmadabad.
168. Diseases—Dengue and Casualties.—The usual diseases have
prevailed,dengue denue included—and to this disease is credited one casual-
ty—a delicate, hysterical lady dying very suddenly—but as no post-
mortem, has been reported, I presume some complication.
A labourer also died under similar circumstances, medico-legal
investigation held, result not given ; but as one casualty from
