SITAPUR SADR DIS-
PENSARY.
85. The annual returns of this institution show that its popularity
and usefulness have in some respects greatly increased, especially during
the last three months of 1875, or since the new Assistant Surgeon was
appointed.
86. The total number of persons that sought surgical and medical
aid rose from 7,743 in 1874 to 11,186 in 1875 ; in fact, Sitapur stands at
the head of the list among the Oudh dispensaries for the numbers
treated during the year under review.
( 18 )
87. The increase, however, was among the out patients only, as
the in-door admissions fell from 232 to 214, or from a daily average of
11.6 to 10.54. Of these 180 were discharged cured or relieved, 16 died,
3 left while under treatment, and 15 remained in hospital at the end of
the year.
88. Although it will be found that the capital operations have in-
creased from 8 in 1874 to 13 in 1875, 11 of which were successful, this is a
very small number for a large Sadr dispensary, especially in a district
which can boast of only one branch dispensary ; but this institution has
never drawn its fair proportion of surgical cases or in-door patients,
which I have in former reports attributed to the brusque manner of the
late Assistant Surgeon Tareenee Churn Dutt, who was relieved by
Assistant Surgeon Nobin Chunder Dutt from Calcutta in October
last, so that I have every reason to hope there will be an improvement
in this respect for the future, now that the supposed cause of the want of
appreciation of this institution has been removed.
89. I find the following remarks entered by me in the visitor's
book on the 23rd of September last; they were forwarded at the time to
the Commissioner of the Division for his information :—
"Inspected in company with Dr. Ellis, the Civil Surgeon, on
the 20th September 1875.
"In my annual report of last year I remarked, that this
"institution afforded a smaller amount of medical relief than any Sadr
" dispensary in Oudh, and in this respect I do not find it in any way
" improved since my last visit.
" I attribute this want of popularity in some measure to the
" bad address and brusque manner of Assistant Surgeon Tareenee Churn
" Dutt, who has been in medical charge since 1870, in his intercourse with
" natives. In addition to this failing he appeared to take little or no
" interest in his duties or the welfare of the institution, and I trust he
" may never be permitted to return to this charge.
" On the occasion of my present inspection, I find only 6 un-
" important medical cases under treatment in hospital, and it would
" appear from the books that the daily average for the present year up to
" date was 10, and of out-door attendance 44.
" The hospital in itself is a fine building and in good repair,
" and capable of accommodating twice or three times the number of
" patients that at present resort to it.
" The books and records are kept in a very slovenly manner,
" the medical quarterly sheets and circulars for 1874 are incomplete, and
'' none of them have been bound in accordance with reiterated orders,
" ride Surgeon General's last Circular Memo. No. 50, dated 15th July
''1875 on the subject. I request the missing sheets may at once be
" indented for."
( 19 )
90. I regret to say that up to this date (the 15th April) I have
been unable to obtain a correct financial statement of the receipts and
expenditure of this institution, and must, therefore, submit this report
without it, as too much delay has already occurred in forwarding it to
Government.

MAHMUDABAD
BRANCH DISPENSARY.
91. Dr. Ellis reports as follows:—The Mahmudabad branch dis
pensary is unchanged from what it was in past years, except that a
house for the hospital assistant in charge has been built near the dispen
sary.
92. The returns for the year now submitted show an increase in
the number of out-door patients as compared with that for 1874.
The total number for 1875 was 3,032, for 1874 2,506, and for 1873
1,856; thus we see that there has been a steady increase for the last
few years.
( 20 )
93. During my visits to the dispensary I saw evidence of increas-
ed attendance, everything was in order, the registers accurately kept
up to date, the hospital assistant at his work, and a large number of
out-door patients being attended to.
94. The returns show the diseases treated to be those usually
met with at dispensaries,—fevers, diseases of the digestive system
cutaneous diseases, &c.
95. First Class Hospital Assistant Zahoor Hossein has had charge
of the dispensary during the year. His conduct and qualifications are
good. He is attentive to his duties and liked by the people of the place,
and the dispensary is improving under his management.

HARDOI SADR DIS-
PENSARY.
96. On reference to the annual returns of the Hardoi Sadr
dispensary for the past year, it appears that the total daily average
number of persons who received medical aid increased by about 52.91
per cent., or to the extent of 187 in and 3,402 out patients on the
previous year.
( 21 )
97. The total number of persons to whom medical aid was
afforded was 9,448 ; 447 of these were treated as in-door patients, 9,001
receiving out-door relief; 722 cases ceased to attend, result of treatment
consequently unknown ; 15 in patients died, and 6 casualties were reported
out of hospital; 94 cases remained under treatment at the close of
the year.
98. Seventy-six major operations were performed, of which 14
were for removal of stone from the bladder; of these, were successfully
done by First Class Hospital Assistant Bindrabun Dass and 7 by the
Civil Surgeon, Dr. Logg. No fatal case is recorded. All the remaining
operations, major and minor, 803 in number, were performed by the hos-
pital assistant abovenamed.
99. There were 25 cases of cholera, of which 18 are said to have
recovered, and 1,123 cases of fevers (with 3 casualties), being 348 in
excess of last year.
100. I made my annual inspection of this dispensary in company
with Dr. Logg on the 12th December 1875. There were at the time 14
in-door patients under treatment; from the records this appears about the
daily average during the year. The attendance of out-door patients
averages about 88.
101. The books, instruments, and medicines were all in good order,
and had been carefully kept. The quarterly sheets of circulars and
general orders were complete up to March 1875, and bound up to 1874.
102. Of the two native medical pupils attached to this institution,
Puttoo Lall was dismissed the service; and native medical pupil
Sheo Gobind, although a lad of ability who gave fair answers when ex-
amined by me, is reported as careless and inattentive, and has been
warned that unless he improves he will be recommended for dismissal.
103. First Class Hospital Assistant Bindrabun Dass is an intel-
ligent, well-educated man and a fair operator, but is very dilatory in
submitting his monthly returns in spite of repeated warnings ; but it is
to be hoped this will not occur again.
104. This is one of those institutions to which I am of opinion an
Assistant Surgeon with proper professional acquirements should be
attached, as the Superintendent has frequently to absent himself on tours
of inspection as sanitary officer and visiting the branch dispensaries in
his district.
105. The financial condition of the dispensary will be found in the
following comparative statement:—

SANDILA BRANCH
DISPENSARY.
106. This institution continues to improve, and I have cause to be
satisfied with its general management. Dr. Logg, the Civil Surgeon,
reports favourably on the conduct and qualifications of First Class
Hospital Assistant Dhunpal.
107. On the 31st December 1874, there remained under treatment
136 cases. In 1875, 23 in and 8,294 out-door patients were admitted,
being 459 more than during the previous year. Of the whole number of
persons (8,453) who visited the dispensary and received medicines and
medical aid, 7,373 were relieved or cured, 909 absconded, the result of
whose treatment is unknown, being less by 8 than in the former year; 7
deaths are reported, 2 amongst the in-door patients, and 5 occurred
elsewhere.
108. The surgical operations performed during the period under
review were 13 major and 377 minor, or an excess of 1 and 32 respect-
ively as compared with 1874 ; the number that were successful have not
been reported.
( 23 )
109. There were not very many cases of fever during the year, but
skin diseases, rheumatism and abdominal complaints held the highest
places respectively.

SHAHBAD
BRANCH
DIPENSARY.
110. From the returns of this Branch Dispensary it will be observed
that the total number of persons registered as receiving medical aid was
(including 84 cases who remained from previous year) 6578 ; of the
new comers 151 were admitted as in-door patients, while 6343 received
out-door relief; 1650 absconded and consequently the result of treatment
is unknown.
111. Of those admitted into hospital 2 died. 6 cases are reported
as having succumbed to disease at their homes. At the close of the
year 1875 there were still under treatment 63 cases, none of a
serious nature.
112. The daily averages of in-door and out-door patients were
less than in 1874 for reasons hereinafter mentioned, but the apparent,
decline of the institution is more marked when the number of operations
performed in 1875 is contrasted with that of 1874, which latter return
showed 17 against 5 major, and 742 against 247 minor operations
( 24 )
successfully treated in 1875. I attribute the falling off entirely to the
trustworthiness of the returns under the present incumbent first Class
Hospital Assistant Lalla Kali Churn, in comparison with those rendered
by Hospital Assistant Lalla Ram Sahai who was removed from his
appointment for carelessness and insubordination.
113. There was a large proportion of fever cases during the period
under review : 950 patients received treatment for this alone, whilst
2450 are returned under the heading of " other diseases."
114. I am well satisfied with the present working of this Branch
establishment as the returns are now I believe carefully and accurately
kept, which was certainly not the case under the former Hospital Assist-
ant in charge.
