Deputy Surgeon-General Blacklock was in charge of this and the Northern
District during the year; but he died early in. 1873, and no Administration
Report was received from him.
Surgeon-Major M. C. Furnell, F.R.C.S., held medical charge of the Body
Guard during the year, and makes the following observations in the Annual
Report :—
Climate. —There has been little change in the climate of the station during the past
year, as compared with previous ones, except that the amount of rainfall has been greater.
Provisions have been moderate in price, and the health of the public in general good, with
the exception of the months of June, July, August, September, October, November, and
December in which dengue prevailed to a great extent all over Madras.
Any nuisance. —The drains, latrines, manure heaps, &c., are all carefully attended to.
There are no nuisances, more than what is inseparable from the presence of horses, to be
complained of in the lines.
Water-supply .—Water-supply sufficient and of good quality. It is derived from two
sources, viz., from the fort (seven wells) and from a well in the Government House com
-pound; both afford good drinking water.
Sanitary arrangements. —The sanitary arrangements of the lines are duly attended
to,
and no local causes of disease exist.
Diet. —Vegetables have been abundant and provisions cheap. Compensation has not
been drawn by the men of the Body Guard, on account of the price of the different articles
of diet.
Climate.
Clothing. —Clothing sufficient and adapted to the climate in every respect.
Clothing.
Duty and exercises. —The duties have consisted of the ordinary parades and drills.
These have not been excessive or prejudicial in any way to the health of the men. The aver
-age number of nights in bed has been three.
Drill. —Morning and evening stable duty; riding school from 5-30 to 6-30 A.M., and
foot drill from 4 to 5 P.M. daily for recruits and marked men. The corps goes out weekly
under the Commandant. No recommendations have been necessary, as the duties and drills
of the men have been without any injurious effect on their health.
Lock-up rooms and prison cells. —There are only two solitary prison cells. The
ventilation of these is defective, but they are very rarely used.
Vaccination. —Vaccination has been regularly attended to, and no cases of small-pox
have occurred. There has also been no occasion to re-vaccinate any of the men.

The characteristic rash was in almost all cases observed in children measled or urticaria
like. The head was very early affected, producing coma, with twitchings of facial muscles,
this state lasting from 6 to 24 hours, when general convulsions occurred a short time before
death. I may here remark that nearly all these children who died were not seen.previous to
being insensible, and then medicine was useless. The treatment of children consisted of
powders of calomel, and James', followed by diaphoretics, and the application of blisters to
the head on the slightest symptom appearing of the brain being affected.

Deputy Surgeon-General Johnston, M.D., was in charge of this circle and
that of Malabar and Canara during the year, and the following are extracts
from his brief reports :
—
During the year under review, the health of the Europeans, inclusive of commissioned
Warrant and Non-commissioned Officers of the several departments, has been, on the whole,
satisfactory.
The climate of the Head-Quarters station has differed very considerably from the
general average of years. The rain-fall has been within a few cents of 43 inches, showing
an increase of close upon 8 inches over the usual average, and nearly 10 inches, compared
with 1871. The cold has also been greater, and extended over a longer period. The
maximum of the thermometer being 107° in May, and the minimum 62° in December.

In the Mysore Division, although the strength is somewhat less, the admissions are 277
higher than in the preceding year. The deaths are, however, 10 less, and the average daily
sick 3 less.
In the Ceded Districts the strength is also less, as also the admissions, but the deaths are
more numerous, 15 against 12 in the previous year. The average constantly sick is 2.11
lower.
On the whole, then, the health of the troops is much on a par with the previous year, the
increase in admissions being more than balanced by a lower death-rate. The increase in
admissions is due to the prevalence of dengue especially at Bangalore, at which station, as the
next statement will show, the admissions, which in 1871 were 1,348, rose in 1872 to 1,705.
The several units which contribute to the above general results are shown in the

The tanks being now fuller than they have been for many years past, it is hoped that
prices will rule lower during 1873.
Statistics of sickness and mortality contrasted with, those of the two previous
years.—As the Regimental Returns accompanying this report do not afford the requisite
data for a comparison of the " sickness and mortality " among the Native Troops actually
occupying this station during the year now under review with that of previous years, the
following table has been compiled for that purpose. It comprises for 1872 the statistics
of the 3rd Regiment L.I., the 29th Regiment N.I., and the Sappers and Miners for
the whole year, those of the 4th Light Cavalry and the 5th and 24th Regiments N.I.
up to the date of their leaving Secunderabad, and those of the Head-Quarter Wings of the
6th and 40th Regiments N.I. from date of their arrival in the station. These statis-
tics are compared with those of the Native Troops actually occupying Secunderabad in 1870
and 1871.
It will be observed that the ratios of admissions, deaths in hospital, and average
daily sick per 1,000 of average strength all contrast unfavorably with those of the two
previous y ears.
Increase in, sickness clue chiefly to fever, but not wholly.—The increase in sickness
during the year under review, as well as in 1871, was chiefly due to fever, though not
wholly, since, even" excluding that disease, the ratio of admissions per 1 ,000 of average
strength would stand as follows, omitting fractions :—

There has, therefore, been a progressive amount of sickness generally among the Native
Troops here during the last three years, and the same has been. the case among the British
Troops, the ratio of total admissions per 1,000 of average strength in that branch during the
period referred to having been

Expenditure
on these im-
provements.
Proposed
further im-
provements.
An excellent market has been provided, consisting of beef market, mutton market,
vegetable market, and poultry and fish market in separate buildings, the whole enclosed in
a spacious quadrangle, which is now complete with the exception of one side.
Public latrines have been provided, though not as yet in sufficient numbers.
In that part of the town most notoriously unhealthy (Nullagoottah) a large number of
huts has been cleared away, compensation being given to the owners.
Waste grounds have been resumed, walls of compounds lowered, side-drains constructed,
noxious trades, such as tile, pot, and lime burning, removed, and permission refused to erect
any new buildings in the more crowded localities.
Expenditure on these improvements. —The expenditure on the works mentioned
(exclusive of the markets) is shown in the appended memorandum furnished by the
Cantonment Magistrate. Previous to 1869, he informs me, hardly any funds could ever be
obtained, even for the most urgent works.

The cost of the new markets, not shown in the above memorandum, has been H. S.
Rupees 35,688-2-5, making a total of H. S. Rupees 1,21,914-2-2 expended since 1868.
Proposed further improvements. —Much no doubt remains still to be done, and it is
proposed to proceed vigorously in the same course, as it is anticipated funds will be
available for the opening out of more roads through the denser portions of the town, the
inhabitants moving to healthier sites, and all parts being made not only directly more
healthy, but also more accessible to conservancy action.
It is also proposed to improve and extend the latrine system, and, on the removal of
the Ordnance Lines shortly anticipated, to resume the ground in the centre of the town on
which they now stand, so as to give as much open space there as possible.
Further improvements will follow as means become available.

MEDICAL AND SANITARY REPORT OF THE NATIVE ARMY OF MADRAS.
10. The disease hardly spread anywhere beyond the town, and since the middle of
December no cases have been reported in any other part of the Nizam's dominions.
11. The only regiment here where any cases occurred during the outbreak was the
29th Native Infantry, into which the disease was introduced by a follower, who contracted
it at Chudderghaut. The number of attacks among men and followers of this corps was five,
with three deaths.
12. In the villages within cantonment limits there were but three cases, with one death.
Among the European troops no case occurred.
13. The arrangements adopted on the appearance of the disease were the same as those
made in 1871. A medical subordinate was placed at the disposal of the Cantonment
Magistrate, and posted, with a supply of medicines, at the Police Station in James' Bazaar,
for the purpose of visiting from house to house in the town. He was also provided with a
conveyance. Patients, whose friends consented to their removal, were sent to the Civil.
Dispensary, where they were treated in an isolated building, provided with a separate
establishment of servants. Others were attended to at their own houses. Compulsory
removal was not attempted, having been found impracticable in the epidemic of the previous
year.
14. Conservancy was carefully attended to both in the town and in the lines of the
different regiments. In these lines certain wells had, long before the appearance of cholera
in the station, been set apart for drinking purposes, and placed under sentries.
15. The treatment adopted was chiefly the saline mixture used at the Madras General
Hospital. In cases of collapse diffusible and other stimulants were given, and in slighter
cases emetics, chlorodyne, and cholera pills without opium. The usual external appliances
were also used.
16. Table C (Appendix No. IV.) gives the daily mean of the meteorological observations
at Secunderabad for the months of October, November, and December 1872 ; but there seems
nothing in it calling for remark. The chief seasonal characteristic of the year was the
unusually late and abundant monsoon. Up to the end of August only 17.08 inches of rain
had fallen, but by the end of October the rainfall amounted to 31.69 inches, and by the end
of the year to 35.52 inches, being 8.23 inches above the average. In the beginning of
November the tanks were fuller, it is said, than they have been for upwards of 20 years.
Nullagoottah, as already mentioned, is close to the Hussain Saugor tank, and part of it was
under water. I do not, however, imagine that there was any relation, in the way of cause
and effect, between this and the outbreak of cholera.
17. I have only to mention, in conclusion, that, subsequent to the termination of the
epidemic, three isolated fatal cases of cholera occurred in Secunderabad town—one on the
4th of January 1873, and two on the 30th of that month. No cases have occurred elsewhere
in cantonment or in the vicinity.
