Sunni Julahi Hospital.
This institution was open during the period under report from the 1st of
June to the 31st of January. It had been maintained by the Municipality for
some time for the convenience of the Julahi community residing in Madanpura,
but after compulsory segregation had been discontinued, and the Maratha Hospital
had been converted into a General Plague Hospital, there being ample accommoda-
tion in the latter institution for all communities, the Hospital under report was
closed, and the remaining patients moved into wards specially set apart for them in
the Maratha Hospital on the 1st of February. The District Officer (Central
District) considered the move an unpopular one because of the greater distance of
the Maratha Hospital from the locality than of the old Hospital, but up to the end
of the period under report the wards reserved for this community remained full,
and patients were allowed to have native treatment if they desired it.
Staff.—Throughout the period the Hospital was in charge of Hakim Din
Mahomed, who employed native methods of treatment, and Nurse Barr, who, under
supervision of the Special Medical and Sectional Medical Officers, dispensed
European medicines. They were assisted by 6 Ward boys, 3 Ayahs, one Cook and
4 Sweepers.
Accommodation, &c.—The accommodation and the conservancy, disinfection
and mortuary arrangements remained the same as in previous years. Throughout
the period the late Sirdar Oomer Jamal contributed largely towards the popularity
of the institution by his generosity.
Admissions and Results.—487 cases in all were admitted, of these 169 (with
82 deaths) were returned as Plague cases, but it is more than probable that the
number returned was in excess of the actual number. Diagnosis had, in many
cases, to rest with the Hakim or Nurse and several cases (more particularly those
returned as pneumonic) were most likely not Plague cases at all, though in some
respects resembling them.
Statistics.—The following tables furnish statistical details as returned by
Nurse Barr of the cases admitted :—

General Mohamedan Hospital, Northbrook
Gardens.
This hospital intended for Mohamedans only, was kept open during the period
under report from the 1st of June 1900 to the 31st of January 1901 and
maintained by the Municipality. Patients only received native treatment. The
institution was closed on the 31st of January 1901 and the remaining patients
removed to the Maratha Hospital ( where special wards were set apart for them )
and permitted to have native treatment if they desired it.
Accommodation, &c.—The accommodation and the disinfection, mortuary and
conservancy arrangements remained the same as in previous years.
Staff.—Hakim Rahiman remained in charge throughout the time the
hospital was open, and was assisted by a staff consisting of 1 Compounder,
1 Clerk, 3 Ward Boys, 2 Ayahs, 1 Cook, 1 Office Peon, 1 Dhobi and 3 Bhangis.
Admissions and Results.—The total number of admissions was 253. Of these,
92 were returned as Plague, with 49 deaths. It is very probable, however, that the
number returned as Plague is in excess of the number of actual Plague cases, as
they include 58 cases said to be Pneumonic Plague. Most of these were most
likely only ordinary cases of Pneumonia, seeing that more than half recovered.
The Hakim not being a qualified Medical man, and not able to make Bacteriolo-
gical Examinations, was not in a position to determine exactly how many, if any,
of them were plague cases, and so he classified them all as Plague.
