CHAPTER IX.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Attitude of
the People.
The plague staff met with no actual opposition in the course of their
work, although in a few instances, objections were raised to disinfection.
Verification, of the canse of death was carried out strictly in accord-
ance with the orders and every death the canse of which could not be
determined not to be due to plague was treated as such and the place
disinfected. This measure met with a certain amount of obstruction and
wordy warfare, but in every case the orders were carried out and the
people resigned themselves to the inevitable disinfection.
In other ways the plague staff maintained cordial relations with the
people Avho no longer bore any feelings of mistrust and dislike towards
them. In many cases the people have shown that they appreciate the
measures of disinfection and evacuation,—the former they have applied
for and even carried out themselves and the latter is becoming yearly
more popular. Those who can afford to do so now leave their homes on
the approach of the epidemic season and proceed to live in the suburbs
until the decline of plague sets in, when they return.
Owing to the regular annual recurrence of the epidemic the people
have grown so accustomed to plague that there is absolutely no panic
of any kind, business, work, pleasure all proceed just as in ordinary course,
but the abolition of compulsory measures has in considerable degree help-
ed to bring about these beneficial results, and drawn off from plague
generally the attention which was at one time so keenly rivetted on it.
The supervision of the staff employed on plague duty by Staff Corps
officers who understand the people, their language and customs has been
the chief cause, perhaps, for promoting the feelings of good will and
sympathy now existing between the people and themselves.
History of
some Badly
Infected
Houses.
A WARD.—The following are the worst infected houses :—
No. 24, Cloa Street.—Inhabitants are low caste Hindus. Ground-floor is damp, due to
over-flow of water where the people bathe and wash their clothes. Grain and tobacco are
sold on the ground floor.
No. 40, Goa Street.—Inhabitants are poor Hindus, Marathas and Barots. The house
has been built on a good plinth, the ground floor is dry and well ventilated. The Barots
who work in the docks probably catch infecí ion there, and their filthy mode of living is the
probable cause for the bad reputation this house lias for plague.
No. 92, Cocían Street.—Inhabitants are Mahars and Mangs, who get their living by
begging or prostitution. The house is built on a good plinth but the open gutters for waste
water are not properly cemented and this is the cause of the damp condition of the ground
floor, where most of the plague cases occur.
87, Frere Road.—Inhabitants are low caste poor Hindus. The ground-floor is damp and '
not properly cemented, and the ventilation is very bad. The passages and latrines are usually
filthy and the open space at the back is full of street refuse and the stench at times is almost
unbearable.
145
529, Duncan Road.—This is the largest chawl in the section with a population vary-
ing from 1,000 to 1,400 souls. The occupants arc of every caste and creed. The chawl
is a double one, the front portion being occupied by a better class than the rear one.
This chawl with its low caste Hindu population contributed largest number of deaths
towards the epidemic from the time of its outbreak in 189G. It was seriously affected
both by the cholera and small-pox epidemic which raged during the early part of the year.
The total mortality in this chawl for the year was 147, 66 of which were plague cases but
out of the latter number only 8 recovered.
The reports on the worst infected houses show that amongst other
working people, barbers suffer considerably, from plague. Another noti-
ceable point is that houses situated close to buffalo stables and sheds
appear to be singularly open to plague infection.
Roadside
Cases.
The following table shows the number of roadside cases removed
to hospitals and the number of deaths amongst them from plague and
from causes other than plague. The greatest number it will be seen
occurred in the Central District, where beggars and destitutes wandered
about in search of alms and food.
Starvation, cholera, diarrhœa
and dysentery were the chief causes to which the mortality amongst
them was due.
Only occasionally it was found that people sick with plague had
been turned out of their houses. Before the Grant Road Hospital was
opened great difficulty was found in accommodating patients removed to
hospitals as most of these were full. The greater portion of these cases
occurred among beggars and homeless people,—famine immigrants—who
came chiefly from Kathiawar, Grujerat and the Konkan.

P lague
Marks
on Souses.
Captain Smith gives his opinion as follows regarding plague marks
on houses in C Ward :—
The marks on houses have many advantages. They are an instant guide to the plague
staff in ascertaining houses that are badly infected and they are of the very greatest
assistance to District Officers and other Supervising Officers when going their rounds
checking and overlooking disinfection operations.

(17) I would take this opportunity o£ thanking Capt. Pritchard and all the
District Officers for their hearty co-operation and the interest taken by them in the
hospitals and the welfare of the patients ; and at the same time express my
indebtedness to Mr. Waite, the Chief Accountant, for much valuable assistance.
(18) The assistance rendered by Drs. Polverini and Mayr in some of the
hospitals calls for grateful acknowledgment and, in conclusion, I would place on
record my high appreciation of the valuable work of Mr. A. K. Pai, B.A., my
Head Clerk and Accountant. By his energy and efforts all the clerical and
statistical work of the office has been kept rigidly up to date even during a time
when he was in very poor health.

remained the same as in previous years.
Admissions and Results.—Of 1,970 admissions, 473 (with 360 deaths) proved
to be cases of plague, the remainder, 1,497 in number (with 762 deaths), being cases

Maratka Plague Hospital.
This Hospital was opened on the 21st January 1898 by a Committee appointed
by the Maratha Community and Khan Bahadur Sirdar Mir Abdul Alli, and was
originally intended for the use of the Maratha people. The maintenance of the
hospital was subsequently handed over to the late Bombay Plague Committee, and
then to the Bombay Municipality and all classes are now admitted. The situation of
the hospital, the accommodation, the conservancy, disinfection and mortuary arrange-
ments have been fully described in the Reports for 1898-1899 and 1899-1900.
Several of the old temporary wards have been rebuilt this year by Sirdar Mir
Abdul Alli, and the permanent and temporary wards now afford accommodation for
550 patients.
Staff.—Throughout the period under report Dr. L. B. Dhargalkar was in
charge of this hospital. For about a month when the pressure of work was very
heavy, Dr. E. S. Winter was given charge of the observation wards to relieve
Dr. Dhargalkar. Eleven English Nursing Sisters, viz., Misses Richardson, Corbett,
Gray, Johnstone, Rait, Marshall, Poole, Steer, Platts, Hodgson and Boyd and one

Lustig's Curative Serum Treatment.—A small number of experiments with
Lustig's serum was tried at this hospital, 38 cases in all being treated during the
months o£ November and December 1900, and January 1901. Owing, however, to
the quantity of serum being limited, and the fact that the Chief Medical Officer
was so busy, as to be unable to devote sufficient personal attention to ensure that the
experiments were being conducted scientifically, it was decided to abandon them
for a while at this hospital. Details of the cases treated, with charts, are appended
to this report, and the Chief Medical Officer sums up the results of the experiments
as compared with cases treated on the stimulant plan as follows :—
Percentage of mortality among serum cases 84·21.
Do.
do.
stimulant cases 88·8.
These results, judging from the high mortality in both groups, and especially in
the Non Serum group, serve to indicate that the type of the plague in those months
must have been extremely virulent, notwithstanding which, the serum group
shows a higher recovery rate by 4·4 per cent. than the Stimulant or Control group.
Two cases were treated by Terni and Bandi's serum, a specimen of which was sent
for trial through Government. The cases were selected in consultation with Major
Bannerman, Capt. Lamb and Mons. Haffkine but both, proved fatal.
Other Special Treatment.—Iodine Terchloride was tried in G cases. The cases
chosen were all acute and had well developed buboes and all died within 4 days.
Statistics.—The following tables furnish statistical details of the cases
admitted—appended to the report is a statement giving details of cases treated
with Lustig's Curative Serum with 38 clinical charts of these cases.
