SÍTÁPUR LOCK HOSPI-
TAL.
In medical charge of Surgeon Major McKeller, up to the end of Oc-
tober 1872, it was located in the Civil Dispensary (a most objectionable
place), on the change in the appointment of Civil Surgeon taking place I
thought it a good opportunity to remove the patients and transferred the
charge to the Military Department in Cantonments, these alterations
took place on the 8th of November, the building utilized is the Hospital
formerly belonging to the Native Infantry (previously stationed at
Sítápur), it is at present undergoing repairs and alterations, and when
completed it will be admirably adopted for the purposes for which it is
intended. There were but two cases in the Hospital, one suffering from
Gonorrhœa, the other Leucorrhœa.
SÍTÁPUR DISPENSARY.
Visited the station on the 7th of November 1872. The Civil Medi-
cal Establishments are in charge of Surgeon J. Ellis, M. D., who has re-
cently returned from furlough. Dr. Ellis was temporarily attached to Unáo
on his arrival in India, and subsequently transferred to Sítápur, he had
joined the station but a few days before my arrival.
( 21 )
2nd Grade Sub-Assistant Surgeon, Tarini Churn Dutt, is in charge
of the Government Charitable Dispensary, his conduct and qualifications
are reported to be very good.
1st Class Hospital Assistant, Abdool Khan, reported favorably upon
by the Civil Surgeon, is attached to the Jail Hospital.
2nd Class Hospital Assistant, Mirza Hussun Ruza Beg, attached to
the Police Hospital, his conduct and qualifications are reported to be
moderately good.
Medical Pupil, Gajadhur Pershad, is well behaved, and making good
progress in his professional knowledge, he has passed the English test in
language, and is regularly instructed by the Civil Surgeon.
The establishments of servants were complete and efficient, in the
Government Charitable Dispensary, Police, and Jail Hospitals.
Government Charitable Dispensary is as I have formerly reported
an excellent building, the estimate for repairs necessary at this season
of the year has been submitted, the Lock Hospital which is under the
same roof is about to be removed to a more convenient spot in Canton-
ments, in fact its removal took place the day after my visit, a change most
advantageous to the well-being of both institutions. There were eight
in-door patients and 28 out-door patients on the Hospital books.
The Jail Hospital is one of the usual barracks within the walls, it is
a kutcha building, well adopted for the purposes of a hospital, there were
ten patients in hospital, seven of whom were suffering from intermittent
fever.
The Police Hospital is a good kutcha pukka building, clean and well
ventilated, 14 patients in the hospital were suffering from intermittent
fever.
The dry earth system is carried out in all these Institutions.
Latrines and urinals carefully supervised, sufficient and clean.
Drainage of both Jail and Police lines very good, likewise the water
supply.
Medicines good in quality and efficient in quantity, the poisons se-
gregated and locked up.
Instruments, complete and serviceable.
Books, reports, returns, and records kept up to date.
The health of the Police and Prisoners during the year has been
good, of the prisoners especially good, the daily average sick amounting
to one per cent, the total number of deaths in the year seven only.
The following statistical Dispensary returns for the years 1871-72
are added.

HARDUI DISPENSARY.
I visited this Station in December.
This district is in Medical Charge of Mr. McReddie, a most active and
zealous officer, and who has shown great assiduity in the discharge of his
duties during the late severe epidemic of cholera, his conduct on this occa-
sion has been brought to the notice of the Chief Commissioner.
2nd Class Hospital Assistant, Kali Pershad, is attached to the Sádr
Dispensary, Mr. McReddie reports most favorably on this man's conduct
and qualifications, he is a good operator and most attentive to his duties,
he has not passed in the English test, but as he has promised to attend
the zil'a school which is contiguous to the Hospital, I hope that he will
soon be able to qualify himself.
2nd Class Hospital Assistant, Dabi Pershad, attached to the Police
and Jail Hospitals, has passed in English, Mr. McReddie reports likewise
of this man most favorably, he being most attentive and zealous in the
discharge of his duties.
( 24 )
Medical Pupil, Mahomed Abbas, was admitted into the service on the
21st June 1872, and is attached to the Sádr Dispensary, this boy's
conduct and character are both very good, he has passed the English qua-
lification examination, Mr. McReddie and his Assistant give daily instruc-
tions to this promising lad, who in addition to his Hospital duties which
are very light, attends the zil'a school regularly.
The Dispensary has been already described in former reports. I
found the building in excellent repair and scrupulously clean, so likewise
were the detached out-houses, latrines, and dead house, the dry earth
conservancy is carried out, and a pukka well is to be built at an ex-
pense of 200 Rupees, I saw eight in-door patients in the Hospital, some
of a serious nature, the close vicinity of the new railway makes this insti-
tution of great value.
The Jail Hospital is a kutcha building tiled, well ventilated and in
perfect repair, on my visiting the Jail there were only two patients in the
Hospital out of aggregate number of 197 prisoners, these patients were
suffering from very slight complaints.
The Police Hospital is quite unfitted for such a purpose, there is no
ventilation, the roof is flat, leaky, and I should think, very insecure, there
were six patients under treatment, suffering principally from the ordi-
nary malarious diseases of the country.
The water supply of the Jail and Police lines is from pukka wells,
the jail wells are covered in and water is drawn from these by chains and
buckets, they are cleared out twice yearly, the wells elsewhere are quite
unprotected from contamination and were only cleared out this year for
the first time since their construction.
The drainage around the Jail and Police lines is on the whole satis-
factory.
The supply of medicines both European and country is sufficient, the
poisons in the Sádr and Jail Hospitals being segregated.
The instruments complete and in good order, so likewise are the books.
Returns forwarded up to date, all circular orders duly filed, and copies
of returns and reports kept.
The health of the Police and prisoners during the year has been on
the whole good, the prisoners have been exceptionally healthy, but the
Police have suffered from the great prevalence of malarious fever present
in the district.
The following statistical Dispensary returns for 1871-72 are sub-
mitted.

LUCKNOW.
The whole of the Medical Establishments in Lucknow are under the
control of Surgeon Major Cannon, M. B., an officer of unwearied industry,
and great experience. I regret that the state of his health caused by
incessant attention to his duties, during the late epidemics of cholera and
dengue, will necessitate his early departure to Europe, it will be difficult
for the Government to supply his place.
GOVERNMENT LUNA-
TIC ASYLUM.
GOVERNMENT LUNATIC ASYLUM.
I visited this large establishment on the l6th December 1872.
1st Class Hospital Assistant, Lutchmun Singh, still maintains the
high opinion I found regarding him on the occasion of previous reports,
he has seen much service and was in the Bailey Guard during the Mutiny.
The establishment is complete, consisting of 1 Darogah, 1 Jemadar,
19 Peons, 1 Washerman, 1 Barber, 2 Gardeners, 1 Chaukídár, 2 Cooks,
5 Sweepers, 5 Bhisties, 1 Writer, 1 Female Daroghin, 4 Female Coolies,
and 1 Sweepress.
There are eight Male and four Female Barracks, each 36 feet in length
and 18 feet in breadth, height 18 feet. One criminal barrack male, and one
female of the same dimensions, one violent male and one female barrack
each 67'x 31', and in height 18½. One Lunatic Hospital 57' 9" × 42',
and in height 18'. Ventilation of all good, and are built katcha pakka
with tiled roof, with exception of the hospital, which has a flat roof, they
are all in good repair. The ground in the vicinity is open, with the
exception of the Criminal Barracks, which is surrounded with a katcha wall,
there are two barracks for the guard 12' x 10', and two cook-houses.
Dry earth sanitation is carried out.
The night soil is buried at a distance of 264 feet from the barracks.
There are two drains, one on the west side and one on the south side,
which run into the Gumtí river.
Food, flour, rice, dhal, ghí, meat, oil, &c., all of the first quality.
The supply of water is got from a well, and is wholesome.
Clothing, blankets for winter, dosutty cloth for summer, all of the
best description.
Labour, lunatics work both in-door and out-door.
Medicines, Europe and country, good in quality and sufficient, which
are supplied from the Civil Dispensary. The poisons are kept separate
and locked up.
Books, letter circulars, monthly returns, pay abstract, contingent
expenses and annual returns. All have been forwarded up to date.
Records, letters, dockets, Persian and English descriptive rolls of
lunatics ; four books, two male and two female, in which the names of
lunatics are registered at the time they are received into the Asylum.
( 29 )
Circular orders copied up to date, copies of returns and reports
are up to date.
I regret that the mortality during the year has been very high, out
of 230 patients 70 died, viz., 49 males and 21 females, or 30.04 per cent. of
these 12 died in the month of September, 11 in October and 13 in No-
vember, nearly all of which cases were the result of dysentery and diar-
rhœa, following severe attacks of dengue fever, they have however been
entered in the mortality tables in the annual report, under the heads of
dysentery 32, diarrhœa 14, the diseases from which they actually died.
All this will be explained in the annual report which is under prepara-
tion.
At the time of my visit there were 123 inmates in the Asylum classi-
fied as follows:—
