No. 4.
Parsee Fever Hospital.
I have the honour to forward the following report on the working of the Parser
.Fever Hospital for the twelve months ending 31st May 1900.
The hospital continued its work on the same principles as described in the lust
report from 1st elune to 10th July 1899. As the number of admissions had dwindl-
ed down almost to nothing, the Hospital Committee decided to close the hospital
from 10th .July 1S99 and thus reduce the rather heavy expenditure.
In August 1899 the Hospital Committee offered me the post of Physician to
the hospital, which I accepted- The hospital was re-opened on loth January 1900
:iud continued open till the end of the year under review.
The hospital is supported by voluntary contributions from Parsees, collected
by the Trustees of the Parsee Punchayat. The management of the hospital is vested
in a Committee of the following gentlemen, the first five of whom are the Trustees cf
the Parsee Punchayat :—
Sir Jamsetji Jeejibhoy, Bart.
Sir Dinshaw M. Petit, Bart.
Hormusji Edalji Allbless, Esq.
Jamsetji Cursetji Jamsetji, Esq.
Merwanji Muncherji Cama, Esq., B.A.
Sir Jehangir Cowasji Jehangir, Kt,
Jamestji N. Tata, Esq.
Jehangir B. Mnrzban, Esq.
Khan Bahadur Darasha B. Chichgar.
Jeejibhoj r Framji Petit, Esq.
Rutonji Bomanji Dubash, Esq.
Khan Bahadur N. H. Choksy, L, M. & S.
Sorab K. Kariman, Esq., M.D.
Shamsul-Ulrna Jewanji J. Modi, B.A.
The following is the list of medical and nursing staff—

and 1 rauccadam, 6 ward boys, 5 ayahs } 2 cooks, 2 ramosis, 1 dhobi, 1 ma!i,
2 coachmen and 2 sweepers.
For small-pox cases there was a separate staff of one nurse and 2 ward boys.
The hospital is located on Pavel Road near the Victoria Gardens in the com-
modious bungalow of Messrs. Merwanji and Hormusji Muncherji Cama. This
bungalow has been kindly lent free of charge, and is admirably suited for isolation
hospital purposes. There are nine wards to accommodate 50 patients, giving about

macerating on u curry store half a dram of guiacol, 10 grains of camphor, half u
dram of extract of belladonna, one ounce of ems (incense), with a sufficiency of tincture
iodine. This paste, thickly applied with cotton wool on the top, sticks well on the
bubo and binds the part firmly, thus preventing the spread of the bubo. It also
relieves the pain. If the bubo suppurates and is opened, no • sloughing is noticed
in the wound, and the wound heals quickly.
7. Complications of 'plague.—In four cases orchitis and epididymitis were
observed either during the acute or convalescent period. In all four the buboes were
inguinal, and in every case the first attack of orchitis and epididymitis occurred on
the side opposite to the bubo. In two cases the other side was affected later on.
One case proved fatal and three recovered. Among the recovered cases, one orchitis
suppurated.
8. Lusliij serum.—Six cases were treated with Prof. Lustig's serum, of whom 4
died and % recovered. Eight cases were treated at the same time with ordinary
methods, of whom 6 died and 2 recovered. My experience is too limited to express
any opinion about the serum method of treatment, hut I am inclined to believe that
serum treatment tends to prolong the life and thereby give the patient more chances
of recovery.

Sickness and Mortality among the Staff of the Hospital.-*-There is no case io be
recorded among the staff all throughout the year, except that of the Senior Medical
Officer who died in March after a sickness of (5 days without developing any definite
symptoms of plague. He was well and attended to his dnty till the evening of the
12th March. On Tuesday he felt a little out of sorts, and as he used to do in such
simple ailments, he took an opening dose early next morning. Towards the evening
he noticed the temperature a little high. Next day he began to feel worse and the
temperature was 102 -in the morning and 105 towards the evening. This was kept
up all through Friday. No definite symptoms of bubonic or pneumonic plague
oould be discovered. He was coiascious till Saturday morning when failure of heart
set in and the patient passed away at 4 a.m.

Report on tlie Sunni Mahomedan Hospital,
Ripon Road, Bombay.
I have the honor in forwarding the Annual Report of the Sunni Mahornedaa
Hospital to make the following remarks, which may be of interest:—
In my opinion the hospital is a very popular one amongst the poor class of the
Mahomedans of Bombay. The number of admissions to the hospital has increased
since last year and a large number of patients helped in the way of out-door patients.
Mrs. Barr and the Hakim have between them done much good work ; both have
won the confidence of these poor people by patient toil and kind attention.
Sirdar Umar Jumaal makes a small present to every patient before
leaving the hospital as cured, officiates and prepares at ceiemonial visits and in-
spections of the Hospital, decorating and making such visits interesting to all attend-
ing them. Khan Bahadur Abdur Razzak has been the daily worker and regular
visitor to the hospital, and a good deal of the popularity of the Hospital is due to his-
work.
I wish to draw attention to his work here as willingly tendered and done as in
the early days of plague when he was found so invaluable. He is one of the very
few volunteers that still continue to really work, and such work as demands that it
should meet with our consideration and approbation.
H. E. PBITCHABD, CAPT.,
District Officer,
Central District.
