The receipts from paying patients and the miscellaneous receipts are this
year shown separately for the first time, which accounts for the apparent
falling off in receipts from Local Funds.
The total income excluding the opening balance amounted to Rs. 4,83,559
against Rs. 4,80,174, and the total expenditure excluding the amount invested
was Rs. 4,73,056, which exceeded the amount expended in 1891 by Rs. 3,613.
The increase was distributed over all the heads of expenditure except repairs
and buildings. The cost to Government shows a reduction of Rs. 6,549,
while the receipts from local sources increased by Rs. 9,934, chiefly owing
to larger receipts from the Port Dues Fund and from paying patients.
In the Medical College Hospital the cost of diet increased by Rs. 5,070-4-11,
which is said to be due to higher rates and larger issues of diet. The average
cost of the daily diet was annas 7-2¾ for Europeans, and annas 3-3 5/6 for natives.
12. In the Resolution on the report for 1891, the Lieutenant-Governor
commented on the variations in the cost of diet at the different hospitals, and
on the absence of any explanation of the fact. The matter has not been lost
sight of during the year past, and it has been shown that the circumstances of
the different institutions vary so materially that uniformity in the matter of
average expense is very difficult to attain. In the Presidency General Hospital
the patients are all Europeans, and a considerable number are paying patients.
In the Howrah General Hospital and in the Medical College Hospital both
Europeans and natives are treated. In these circumstances, it will be sufficient
to publish side by side the average cost of diet of European and native patients
at each institution, and the Lieutenant-Governor relies on the Inspector-
General to keep the expenditure under this and other heads to the lowest point
compatible with complete efficiency. There has been an advance in the cost of
( 5 )
native diet everywhere, and in that of European diet at the Medical College
Hospital only.

13. In the Medical College Hospital a new latrine block has been erected,
and improved arrangements have been made for the supply of drinking water.
Two rooms were constructed for the Registrar's office and the Medical officer's
board-room, and other minor improvements have been effected. All of them
were much needed, and the Lieutenant-Governor is glad that they have been
carried out.
14. The existing provision for meeting the medical wants of the town has
more than once been declared to be insufficient by the Local Government, and
this opinion was endorsed by the Government of India in July 1892. Accord-
ingly, after the close of the year under review, a Committee was appointed to
report on the necessity for providing further accommodation and the localities
where it should be afforded. They have suggested the establishment of a
hospital at Bhowanipur, and four out-door dispensaries in Wards Nos. 3, 19, 20,
and. 22 respectively: their proposals have received the full assent of Govern-
ment, and the difficulty of providing funds for the work alone retards is
commencement.
15. The report brings into striking prominence the insignificant extent to
which the medical charities of Calcutta are supported by voluntary contribu-
tions. Out of a total income of rather more than five lakhs of rupees, as much
as Rs. 3,15,000 were contributed by Government, while the subscriptions from
Europeans and Natives aggregated only Rs. 11,818 and Rs. 1,371 respectively.
In other words, out of every Rs. 100 spent in 1892 on the Medical Institutions
of Calcutta, the proportion voluntarily contributed by those whose countrymen
form 81 per cent. of the patients treated was less than five annas. The Lieuten-
ant-Governor would be glad to see part of the great stream of native charity
turned into this most useful channel.
16. The thanks of the Lieutenant-Governor are due to Surgeon-Colonel
Pilcher for a clear and concise report, and for the promptitude with which it has
been submitted.

The total admissions, taking all classes together, were 1,367 as compared
with 1,546 in 1892, a decrease of 179, mainly due to diminished numbers among
European women and children, and already accounted for (paragraph 5).

The activity of the hospital has increased rather
than diminished, as is proved by the average daily
number of patients given in the margin, which
shows that the smaller number of cases treated were
more severe in their nature and required to remain
longer under treatment, confirmatory evidence

that the decrease was
due to slight cases being
treated as out-patients.
The number of deaths
and the death-rate per
cent. in the different
classes of patients for
the last two years is
given in the table.
"Other classes" had not
been properly differ-
entiated in 1892, so
that they must be added
to the Hindus and
Musalmans in 1893 to
get a true comparison.
38. The number of confinements was 573, as compared with 501 in 1892,
distributed as in the margin. There were
25 deaths, or 4.21 per cent., against 26, or 4.94 per
cent., in 1892. The decrease was very marked
among natives and "other class" patients. Taking
the two classes together it fell from 7.71 to 4.62
per cent. There was a considerable rise among
Europeans, however, from 1.65 to 3.62, but the
Obstetric Physician points out that there were but nine deaths in all, and that with
the comparatively small numbers treated a few additional fatal cases may run up
the rate enormously. As already pointed out (paragraph 26), the death-rate
must always be high, since the proportion of bad cases treated is far greater
than in European or American hospitals, and I can testify to the greatest possible
1892. 1893.

and again from the 14th October to the 31st December, and Surgeon-Major
F. S. Peck from the 17th August to the 13th October.
There is nothing to note as regards improvements.
Bhawanipur Dispensary .—This institution is under the superintendence of
the Health Officer of the Calcutta Corporation throughout the year. No
improvements are noted in the report.

when she was succeeded by Miss Hamilton, M.D. No improvement to the
hospital is reported.
Howrah General Hospital.—Surgeon-Major R.D. Murray, M.B., held charge
up to the 31st March, and. Brigade-Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel H. B. Purves
for the rest of the year.
No important improvements were undertaken during the year.
It would be difficult to find a better or more accomplished staff than
is indicated in the above lists, and the Calcutta Hospitals are to be congratu-
lated on their medical officers. I think this report shows that they have all
worked well, and while doing great things for the sick, have duly safeguarded
the interests of Government. All have been most ready to accept suggestions
tending to economy.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
