18. Taking in and out-patients together, the number of males was fewer
by 54,203, females by 9,275, and children by 15,033. The proportion of
females and children attending the different hospitals varies considerably.
It is lowest at the Mayo Native Hospital, where women are seen in a room in
which clerks work and is low for women in most of the affiliated dispensaries
except Sukea's Street, where a separate room is provided for seeing females.
There is a lady doctor at the Chandney Hospital, but the atttendance of women
is, as I pointed out last year, far from satisfactory. Many of the women are
seen in the common out-patients' room, in which there is not a proper provision
for the separation of the sexes. This is the case also at the Chitpur and
Park Street Dispensaries. I have pointed out these defects to the Superinten-
dent. The total number of Europeans was greater by 134. The increase was
in outdoor patients only, and is chiefly noticeable in the Campbell Hospital
and Howrah General Hospital. In the former no European out-patient was
shewn as treated in 1897, but in the year under report it shews 382. The
Superintendent states that this was due to a more careful classification. The
Superintendent of the Howrah General Hospital cannot explain the increase
of 388. The falling off in the total number of European in-patients is chiefly
accounted for by the admission of fewer seamen in the Medical College,
Presidency General and Howrah Hospitals. The number of Eurasians treated
shews an increase of 1,482, the figures having been 35,019 against 33,537 in
1897. The excess occurred both among in and out-patients. The Howrah
General Hospital shews the largest increase, viz. 800, but the Superintendent
cannot suggest any reason for it. The Medical College Hospital stands next
with an increase of 519, the Principal explaining it to be chiefly due to all the
wards having been open to the patients, which was not the case in 1897, when
several were closed owing to quadrennial repairs. The Eden Hospital occupies
