The death-rate among men at the Howrah Hospital was 24.11, against
20.96 in 1894. The Superintendent says that there was a larger number of
native moribunds, and three cases of multiple liver abscess among Europeans
and one among natives ending fatally. The noticeable feature of this table,
however, is the increased mortality among the female children in some of the
institutions during 1895. At the Presidency General Hospital the casualties
among them were 22, against 6 in 1894. Of the 22, 7 were caused by pneu

that many were admitted into the hospital in an extremely debilitated condition.
That variations in the death-rate often occur when small numbers are dealt with
is fully illustrated at the Mayo and Chandney Hospitals, where the addition
of one death only among female children has raised the mortality to a great
extent. There was a greater fatality among both male and female children
at the Howrah Hospital. Of the 21 deaths at this institution, 13 died within
24 hours. Eight of the latter were Europeans and five natives. The death

there having been no deaths from cholera and tetanus, whereas in 1894 5
and 2 respectively died from these two causes.

percentage of deaths among the in-patients. The diseases of both in and out
patients are given in statement II in appendix A :—
