It will be seen from the above that the work clone by the Munici-
pal and private hospitals is very satisfactory. There were' quite 1,000'
more cases of all kinds admitted this year into the Hospitals. Some-
of the hospitals have not sent in returns, but these are chiefly the private
Mahomedan ones and their admissions were very few.
The Arthur Road and Maratta Hospitals were asked to take on not.
only plague and relapsing cases, but, owing to the prevalence of other
epidemic diseases, their wards were open to small-pox, cholera, chicken-
pox and measles, all of which diseases were epidemic in the city. Fresh
temporary wards were put up to meet the large number of cases which
came in during the months of December, January, February and March
•when small-pox, chicken-pox and measles were epidemic ; and the heavy
nature of the work will be seen from the fact that in these two hospitals
alone 1,512 cases of small-pox, 70 of measles and 122 of chicken-pox were
admitted. Cholera began to- be epidemic during April and May, and
these cases were also admitted for treatment in the Arthur Road Hospital,
and subsequently in the Maratta and Modikhana Hospitals.
The admissions for plague in the Arthur Road, Maratta and Modi-
khana Hospitals, or the three principal Municipal Hospitals, have been very
much, less this year as compared with last year ; and the number of
admissions from relapsing fever has also been less. The total number
of admissions from all diseases .have, however, been more this year in all
these three hospitals by some 1,000 cases, owing no doubt to the number
of infectious diseases which were epidemic during the year under considera-
tion. I have thought it best to group these three principal Municipal
hospitals together, as they give the fairest idea of work done, and I think
