Compared with 1874 the past year has been marked by a severe and general epidemic of cholera;
in 1874 two sporadic cases occurred in Mysore; in 1875 there were 11,067 casualties from this
disease. Coorg almost escaped the scourge, which was also but little felt in the Kurnool District.
The incidence of the disease was most severely felt in Cuddapah, Mysore, and Bellary. To the
Sanitarian cholera means dirt, and truly there is no lack of this in the Mysore Province and in
the Ceded Districts.
A year which is favourable to the spread of cholera is generally favourable to the spread of
small-pox; in this case, however, the number of cases of the latter disease registered for 1875 fell
below that registered for 1874 by 1,238. This decrement is most distinctly seen in the returns
from Mysore, Coorg, and Cuddapah, the increment in those from Bellary and Kurnool. In
Mysore and Coorg the disease was of a mild character, owing probably to the fact that it repre

great class of fevers, it is be noted that, alike in Mysore and in the Ceded Districts, the number of
casualties exceeds that of 1874, one proof that the presence in an epidemic form of a disease such
as cholera is not necessarily accompanied with a corresponding diminution in the casualty returns
from other diseases. 86,969 casualties from "fever" occurred in this administrative circle during
1875, or 15,219 more than in 1874.
When we remember how comparatively small is the percentage of mortality of many of
these fevers, some idea may be formed of their universal prevalence on the Mysore plateau and
in the Ceded Districts.
Although the past year was pre-eminently a cholera year, yet no marked increase in the
return of casualties from bowel-complaints is noted.

Statement No. II. contains details of the aggregates given in
Statement No. I. with superadded information. From this table may
be seen at a glance the comparative healthiness of the two large
stations of Bangalore and Bellary, and the comparative healthiness
of different regiments occupying the same cantonment. The average
daily sick per mille of strength when applied as a test of the health
state of regiments ranges them in the order noted in the margin.
The high numbers of the three regiments last on the list are due not so much to causes
operating during last year, as to the antecedent low health state of the corps from original poor
physique and defective lines, from service in Burmah and Arracan, and from residence in Coorg.
The smaller tables under this statement and Statement No. III. exhibit the ratio of mortality,
of invaliding, and of average daily sick at Bangalore, Bellary, the French Rocks, and Mercara,
along with a comparative return showing the same facts as expressed in the experience of the
Mysore Division and of the Ceded Districts durin g the last quinquennium.

In this statement is recorded the pathological history for the past year (1) of the divisions,
and (2) of the stations at which native troops were cantoned, the ratios being per mille of strength.
From this table the following facts may be deduced :-
1. The almost entire limitation of cholera to a portion of the regiment of Sappers and
Miners at Bangalore, and the slight degree to which that epidemic influenced the
general health of the native troops.
2. The almost entire protection from small-pox enjoyed by the native troops in the Mysore
Division and Ceded Districts.
3. The marked prevalence of ague in both divisions.
4.
The total recorded absence of enteric fever.
5. The marked presence of affections generally associated with a malarial taint, such as
diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis, dropsy, ulcers, and abscesses.
6. The equally marked prevalence of rheumatism, which is often, however, a feigned disease.

This statement gives the ratio per mille to all admissions of the more prominent diseases and
groups of disease, as well as the corresponding ratios of mortality.
Table No. VII. shows the simple aggregates of deaths in the two divisions with the diseases
causing the same. The corresponding numbers of 1874 are 22 for Mysore and 7 for the Ceded
Districts. The increased mortality in the Ceded Districts for the year under review has been
largely owing to the mortality-rate of the 27th Regiment N.I., which stands at 12.51 per 1,000.
This regiment has recently returned from service in Burmah, the Nicobars, and Andamans, and
is largely affected with malarial cachexia.

Although the mortality ratio is an important factor in determining the health state of a
regiment or of a station, it is by no means the only or even the principal factor. Attention must
be given to the annual invaliding list and to the various causes which have led to the loss which,
from this cause, the regiment has sustained.
The numbers pensioned or discharged in the Mysore Division and Ceded Districts during the
present and two previous years are as follows :—

The principal causes of invaliding, arranged in the order of their frequency, are genera
debility, rheumatism, impaired vision, and leprosy. Twenty-five sepoys were discharged in conse
quence of being old and worn out, and 8 were placed on the pension list by Committees of Field

to malingering. The remarks on this point made by Surgeon-Major Morgan, 23rd Regiment
W.L.I., in his annual report for 1875 deserve attention.
