statement shows only the amount actually drawn and paid away, while
the real income is not shown. This gives no idea of the state of the
endowment, and in future it would be more satisfactory to show as
receipts the annual income from the Government securities and the
balance at the credit of the endowment. If there be any difficulty in
separating the accounts of this institution from those of the Unání
Hospital, which is supported from the same endowment, a few explanatory
remarks would be necessary.
Hazratgunj Dispensary.
Para. 17.
11. There being a considerable balance in favour of this Dispensary,
it would, perhaps, be as well to expend it in improving the institution, or
to invest it in Government securities.
Balrámpur Hospital.
Para. 35.
12. The accounts of the Balrámpur Hospital have now been given
in an intelligible form, and show that its finances are in a flourishing
condition. The annual expenditure was well within the income, and at
the close of the year there was a balance of Rs. 7,112-14-6.
Unao Sadr Dispensary.
Para. 42.
13. It is satisfactory to note that subscriptions have increased ; but
the decrease in the Government allowance from Rs. 837-8-0 to Rs, 474
should have been explained. The expenditure was more than double that
of 1874, the figures being Rs. 1,775-6-5 and Rs. 4,106-8-5, but this
difference is mainly owing to Rs. 1,656-15-4 having been invested in
Government securities, and Rs. 494 spent on repairs.
Bara Banki Sadr Dis-
pensary.
Para. 67.
14. The Officiating Chief Commissioner observes that the amount
expended on repairs has not been shown in the Bara Banki returns. From
the preceding para. it will be seen that similar expenditure has been shown
at Unao, and as there should be uniformity in these returns, it is to be
regretted that the information was not given here also.
Sitapur Sadr Dispensary.
Paras. 85 and 86.
15. The Officiating Chief Commissioner is glad to notice the increas-
ing popularity of the Sitapur Dispensary, and trusts that under the care
of Assistant Surgeon Nobin Chunder Dutt it will continue to improve.
The accounts rendered by the Civil Surgeon of this district are far from
satisfactory. According to the figures given for 1874, at page 19, the
balance at the end of that year was Rs. 768-0-3, but in the next column,
the balance on 1st January 1875 is shown as Rs. 487-5-9. Moreover,
the expenditure for 1875 (Rs. 2,072-15-1) does not agree with the figures
Rs. 2,365-6-6 given in Statement I. In this statement, there is a note
to the effect that the last-mentioned sum includes Rs. 195-6-8 on account
of the Mahmudabad Branch Dispensary. The expenditure for that
Dispensary (Rs. 1,011-6-8) would appear (vide page 20) to be composed
of the following items :—
Government allowance ...

so that the item of Rs. 195-6-8 is shown twice in Statement I. I am
to request that you will point out to Dr. Ellis the careless way in
which his returns have been prepared, and call on him to submit correct
ones.
Hardoi Sadr Dispensary.
Para. 97.
16. Of the 447 persons who were treated as in-door patients, 367
are said to have been relieved or cured, 15 died, and 14 remained under
