All the clothes are washed by the sweepers in disinfecting fluid and then given

The wards are disinfected with perchloride of lime and phenylo and lime-

sent to the Arthur Road Hospital, where he recovered. The two sweepers (men)
Jived in a street where plague had broken out ; the sweepers must have contracted
plague by coming in contact with the patients.

G. A. BARK,
Nurse in charge, Sunni Mahomedan Hospital.
NO. 7.
Keport of the Parel Sarvajanick Hospital, Bombay, for
the year ending 31st May 1900.
The idea of erecting a temporary plague hospital for the benefit of the residents
of the northern suburbs of the city, who for the most part are poor mill-operatives,
originated with Captain Lewis, the late District Officer of F. and G. Wards, ami
it led to a meeting of the Volunteer Committees of F. and G. Wards at Govern-
ment House, Parel, in October 1898 under the Chairmanship of Rao Bahadur
Vasanji Khimji, J. P., when it was resolved to erect a private hospital in the Parel
Government House compound by voluntary subscriptions from the public for the
convenience of persons of all castes, creeds and conditions residing in the northern
part of Island.
The necessary sanction for the erection of the hospital having been obtained,
and subscriptions having come in freely, mainly through the efforts of Rao Bahadur
Vasanji Khimji, the hospital sheds were erected in an excellent spot in Parel
Government House compound, with tbe Hospital Assistant's quartersj dispensary
office, and other necessary buildings.
Plague having subsided in the northern part of the Island, the Hospital was
temporarily closed on 2nd June 1899. It was reopened for the admission of patients
on the 15th January I'JOO, and closed on 15th May 1900.
212
The water was laid on from the Vehar main by the Municipal .Water Depait-
meat.
The principal disinfectant used was carbolic powder which was plentifully
sprinkled over all the floors in the hospital three times a day. The steam disinfec-
tor was not used as it was too far off.
The mortuary was a small building containing 8 small rooms, each of which
would hold a body. There were no doors to this building and plenty of ventilation
was secured. The ground in ihe rooms and all round outside where the people
prepared the bodies for disposal was kept well disinfected. The people were given
disinfectants to wash in after handling the corpse. The dead were as a rule removed
by their friends or relatives. Proper arrangements were made for the removal of
the bodies of pauper patients—Hindu corpses by Hindus, Mahcmedan corpses
by Mahomedans, and Christian corpses by the Health Department.
Six patients were known to have been previously inoculated with Haffkine-'s
serum. Of these 4 died and 2 recovered.

Report on the General Mahomedan Hospital, Northbrook
Garden, Bombay, from 1st June 1899 to 31st May 1900.

Medical Officer—Hakeem T. Rahman.
Compounder and General Clerk-<-Moonshee Mahomed Yousof.
One Temporary Assistant Clerk.
One Store Clerk.

was due to the fact
that the epidemic had
been very high at the
time, and the work
had consequently in-
creased too much to be
managed by less than the additional hands then engaged.
The Hospital buildings are the same shown in my last year's report with the
exception of one small-pox ward, which was built of the same materials, m.,
bamboo mats, and jawhlies. One Dohbies' Bahty was built of corrugated sheet iron.
As regards sickness amongst' the staff, a ward boy was attacked on the
28th February 1900, afterwards developed into chronic diarrho?a and died on
the 4th of April 1900.
A Bhangby's daughter, aged 4 years, also residing within the Hospital
premises, was attacked by plague, a small gland appeared on the left groin, tempe-
rature 104° with a touch of delirium and soon recovered.
The tabular statement (I) asked for under this paragraph is attached with
this report.
The largest number of cases admitted was 46 in"the week ending 24th March
TJOO and 45 in the week ending 31st March 1900.
The total number of deaths from all causes during the year was 321, and the
largest number of deaths was 20 on the 31st March 1900, and 20 on the 7th April
1000.
