Clinical Observations. —There were 4,722 admissions in tho year under review,
out of which 2,513 were plague cases, 263 relapsing fever, 1,310 other diseases, 595
small-pox, 13 measles and 28 chicken-pox. The total mortality of plague was 81*13
per cent., but deducting the number of patitnts who died within 48 hours, the per-
centage of mortality falls down to G1'4 giving 38*6 per cent, of recovery. The total
mortality of relapsing fever was 18'6 while that of small-pox 19*49 per cent. The
percentage of mortality was more amongst the Christians ard low castes than the
Hindus.
The characteristic symptoms of the disease, incubation period, &c., have been
described in the last year's report.
Buloes.—A tabular statement of the different positions of tho buboes hns been
given under table No. YI, but I wish to notice particularly the presence of the buboes
of the scalp. There were 3 such admissions in the year under report, one of which hid
an occipital bubo, and the other two parietal. In all these cases there was necrosis of
the bone which was removed in pieces and all the patients were discharged cured;
173
Statistics.—The total number of admissions from 1st June 1899 to 31st May
1900 from all causes was 4,722. 3,668 patients were sent by District Officers and
other plague authorities from different parts of the town, while 1,054 patients came
in voluntarily. 140 patients were sent by Harbour plague authorities for observa-
tion from the Modikhana segregation camp, one of which only turned out to be a
plague case. 2,025 people were sent as contacts, out of which 30 developed plague;
Out of the 4,722 cases 2,273 were sent as plague and 1,813 were admitted for
' observation. Out of this large number of observation cases only 240 turned out
to be plague, 263 relapsing fever and the rest as follows:—

institutions of great importance for funds to carry them on. I know I have mot
with a number of discouraging replies with which one often meets, but still in
connection with the hospital we see that during the last six weeks this institution
has not only increased in its size but also in its value. Now, gentlemen of the
Committee, I have to thank you for the address which you have presented me to-day.
Certainly a great deal of my administration bfls been bound up with the word plague,
but that very word plague has brought me in close contact not only "with the officers
of Government and unofficial gentlemen in high position, but also with the great
masses of the public of Bombay. There have been many visits which if it were
not for the word plague, I should have said it was a pleasure to make. In these
visits I have come across every community that exists in the City, and probably in no
other town of the world a larger number of communities can be found. But I
do not think it is an useless surplusage to repeat it that, coming among you as a
stranger five years ago, I knowing the characteristics of the people of this City and
of this Presidency over which I have the honor to preside, I have been struck, as
everybody else who had observed at all must have been struck with the loyal
co-operation with which all classes, from the richest to the poorest, had been equally
animated when I look back over these years, I question whether there is any
population in the world which, after the first touch of panic had passed by, could
have behaved so bravely and so heroically. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
again for your address. I have no doubt whatever of the usefulness of the institu-
tion. I cannot but think that this institution is on a line of education for others;
and long after the plague shall cease to exist, and long after the new scourge of
sinall-pox will pass by, I trust that the Mahratha Hospital where it stands will
continue to flourish and will be an institution to the assistance of which many
rich people will come forward to aid the cause of humanity.

9. Two of the Mehtars were attacked with plague (serial numbers 2 and 12
In the previous table). Both had been previously inoculated with Haffkine's
vaccine, and both recovered. In the former the bubo subsided ; in the latter it
suppurated and was incised.
One Mehtar died of Relapsing Fever. They all lived on the premises : the
source of infection svus probably Hospital work.
