No. 21.
Report on the Narielwadi Musalman Hospital,
Bombay, from 1st June 1899 to 31st May 1900.
This Hospital was opened by the Municipality for the convenience of the
Narielwadi Village Mahomedans only at their request on the 19th December 1899.
The patients were all under the treatment of a Hakim and the undersigned
was pat in charge of the hospital to look to the sanitary arrangements, cleanliness of
the wards, disinfection of patients' clothes and for general supervision.
The Hospital is situated on the southern border of the new Victoria Uoad and oa
the east of the Mahomedan Burial Ground at Tank Bunder. It is open on all sides,
and consists of an oblong shed about 70 feet long and 25 feet broad. The walls are
of bamboo mattings with ventilating shutters of the same material both at the top
and bottom all round. It was divided into two wards, one for males and the othei-
for females by a moveable partition. At the northern corners two rooms, each about
10 feet square, were kept for isolation of pneumonic plague patients. About 30 feet
apart from the hospital on the west as well as on the south are two contact sheds
capable of accommodating about 100 contacts.
The patients were allowed to be nursed by their friends or relatives who had to
follow all sanitary regulations as required by the undersigned.
Feeding the patients was also arranged by the patients or their relatives and so.
no staff was engaged for the purpose.
The hospital can accommodate 20 patients at a time.
Conservancy.—Two seals of latrines—one for males and one for females--were
fouiiU for the exclusive use of the contacts only. A Bhungi was specially deputed from
260
the Narielwadi Camp staff to keep the latrines clean and disinfected. The cleanliness
of the latrines and of the Hospital compound was also supervised by the Nsrielwadi
Camp Master, Mr. Row.
Tha patients had to use bed pans and in these^ at. the time of using them, always
» solution of percnloride of mercury was put in. The excreta of the patient was
immediately removed by the Bhungi; and, after disinfecting the same with a solution
of perchloride of mercury, was put in iron pans and removed to the Municipal night-
soil d'ep6t.
The compound of the hospital was cleaned and swept twige daily by a sweeper
from the Narielwadi staff and the rubbish was burnt, or in case of mud sweeping,
was disinfected with perchloride of mercury solution before its removal to the
carts,
The water-supply was derived from the Municipal water pipe of the Victoria
Road.
The floor of the hospital being of mud was daily sprinkled with lime and
carbolic- powder.
Thje clothes of the patients as well as of the persons nursing them were daily
disinfected by sterilization at the Narielwadi Camp sterilizer.
Immediately after the death of a patient the body was removed to the
mortuary which is situated at the south-east corner of the hospital compound. The
clothes and bed sheets of the deceased patient were in all cases destroyed by burn-
ing. The blankets were disinfected by the sterilizer.
Free use of carbolic soap was made in washing the body before, carrying it to
the burial ground.
None of the patients that come to the hospital were found to be paupers. None
of the patients were previously injected with Haffkine's serum. No death or sickness
occurred amongst either the staff or the persons nursing the patients.

As there were no cases of pneumonic plague or of secondary plague pneumonia
Tables VII and VIII are omitted.
Notes on symptoms and character of the disease-.—One remarkable feature
observed was that all the cases that recovered were admitted shortly after the
attacks and that all the fatal cases were those that had very far advanced and
were already in a very critical condition. On the 9th of March 1900 the last patient
was discharged recovered, and since then there were no further admissions.

Mahomedan Plague Hospital for the
period 1st July 1899 to
30th June 1900.
History.—This was the first hospital started in Bombay in the very locality
of the people for whom it was intended in April 1897.
It is located like other Mahomedan Hospitals in the Jamat Khana or dining-
hall,
The following comprises the Hospital Board :—
(a) Khan Saheb Hnji Ebrahim Haji Sumar Patel, Chairman.
(1} Sirdar Khan Bahadur Cassum Mitha, J.P.
(c) Haji Ebrahim Haji Ahmed Patel.

Hospital Establishment.
(a) 1 Hospital Assistant.
(b) 4 Ward boys.
(c) 1 Cook, 1 sweeper and 1 dhobi.
Expense.—The expenses incidental to the working of the hospital are incurred
out of the Jamat Fund, collected by a sort of income-tax.
Building.—It is a three-storied building open only to the west and lias throe
stories with a ground floor. Tho last is utilizsd as a store and cook-room and has
accommodation for servants, the first story is utilized as Observation Ward, as well
as accommodation for contacts, i.e., half floor for cases of observation and half for
contacts. The cases of plague were comparatively small in the community, there-
fore the accommodation in the hospital was quite enough in case of more plague-
amongst the Jamat.
General Gatacre's Committee undertook the construction of water-closets und
water-pipes. 'Jhe expenses amounted to about 1,800 rupees, half of which were
paid out of the Jamat Funds and the other half by the Municipality. There are
flushing tanks connected with the latrines.
Water Supply.—It is drawn out of pipes erected on each floor by the Plague
Committee in April 1897.
263
Disinfection.—Whenever there are patients the wards are treated with phenyle
•solution and the flooring washed with lime. This year the linen and clothing as
well as bedding soiled by patients have heen all destroyed.
Disposal of Dead.—On a patient's dying he or she was taken to the
tack of the ward and there dressed and put into the coffin and taken to the burial
.ground.
No 'sickness occurred among the hospital staff.
General EemarL—This year patients were allowed to be treated by their
own doctors. Only 4 patients were admitted into the hospital, out of which 3 died

Report on the Brahma Kshatri Plague Hospital,
Bombay, from the 1st June 1899 to 31st May 1900.
This Hospital was first set on foot in the year 1898. It was kept open for
only 4 months each year, namely, during the time when the disease was in its
• epidemic form.
Yithaldas Parshotamdas, Manager ; Dr. V. S. Divan, Chief Medical Officer ;
Nagindas Shivlal Mody, Hospital Assistant; Luxmanrao G., eompounder ; and
there were two ward boys attached to the Hospital.
This year it was re-open at the request of the Members of the community under
the management of Mr. Yithaldas Parshotamdas for the benefit of the Brahma
Kshatrya caste. The balance of the funds- was swelled this year by donations
from generous members of the caste towards the maintenance of the hospital which
was closed after being kept open for four months, no., February, March, April and
May.
A wadi belonging to the same community was turned for the time being into
:i hospital..
268
The contacts were kept in a wadi especially kept apart for the purpose in the
Panjrapole Lane, close to the hospital.
As mnch has been said in the two previous years reports on the epidemic, it
would be sufficient to mention here that this year's epidemic in no way materially
differed from the two previous ones. The type was as virulent, the chief symptoms
being high fever, headache, vomiting and glandular enlargements. In the majority
of cases of recovery the buboes suppurate, the treatment was more or less sympto-
matic, but ice on the head and gland, wet-pack and stimulants have been found useful.

Secondary pneumonia mostly, supervened during the first week of the disease,
and in some cases it was observed to supervene during the second or even the third
week of the disease.
Information regarding the symptoms, character ar.d treatment of plague, as
well as its complications and sequeJse is supplied in the last year's report. I have
this year, in case of a pneumonic plague, as well as of plague with secondary pneu-
monia given dosos of the tincture of belladonna, varying from minim 10 to 20, every
2 hours, when there was extreme dyspnoea, with marked improvement in this
symptom.
There, were during the year 10 cases of fever under observation, viz., 5 of simple
remittenc type, 4 of remittent fever, complicated with bronchitis and one of remit-
tent fever^ complicated with double pneumonia. The last one terminated in death*
while the rest were discharged cured.
During the year there was no case of plague under treatment by the curative
serum of Reux and Lustig.
