ations.
Two of the deaths out of hospital occurred in 1874, but the report was not received until
1875. Of the deaths in hospital, one of the cases of ague was complicated with congestion
of the brain, and the other with double pneumonia. The cases of splenitis and debility ended
fatally from diarrhœa.
XVIII. Epidemics.—There was one case of cholera in the person of a Goorkha recruit
who recovered. There were no epidemics in the station during the year, but in the villages
about 25 miles south of Baxa cholera was said to be rife.
XIX. Vaccination.—Twenty-nine men were vaccinated, seventeen of them successfully.
Most of the sepoys are protected by previous attacks of small-pox, or by inoculation. Fifty-
three camp followers were vaccinated, twenty-three of them successfully. Vaccination was
also carried on among the Bhooteas residing at Baxa, many of whom came voluntarily to
hospital to undergo the operation.
XX. Recommendations.— A l l t h e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s m a d e d u r i n g t h e y e a r w e r e o f m i n o r
importance, but were fully carried out by the regimental authorities. The recommendation
made in previous years, that a ration of meat or milk should be supplied to the sick in hospital,
has not been carried out, the Government not having approved of it. In comparing the present
report with that of last year, the result is very satisfactory. In 1873, the sickness of the
regiment was so excessive as to call for special report; since which time, it has been improving
in health, and will now bear favourable comparison with many of the Bengal Infantry
Regiments.

MEDICAL AND SANITARY REPORT OF THE NATIVE ARMY BENGAL.
Supply of
medicines,
&c.,was ample.
The condensed
milk was
most useful.
The supplies of medicines and hospital requirements were ample, and I was able to supply
the wants of the European and auxiliary troops attached to the Malacca column. Some of the
packages were rather large and heavy for coolie carriage in a country without roads. Water-
tight cases of tin or zinc petarrahs are best adapted for such a climate; nothing else will keep
out the drenching rain. The panniers and field companions were very convenient for detach
- m e n t s a n d f o r u s e i n t h e f i e l d .
30. As milk was not procurable, it was at first difficult to provide nourishing food for the
sick sepoys, especially for those suffering from dysentery; but they soon took a great fancy to
the condensed milk in tins. The supply of this was, of course, limited; but I believe that its
use saved several lives. I would suggest that a moderate supply be allowed in expeditions to.
countries where, as in the Malay Peninsula and China, fresh milk is not obtainable.
31. Surgeon G. Bomford, who was attached to the force, was everything that I could
wish. He was always active, cheerful under hardships, and careful of the sick. All the
hospital establishment behaved very well indeed; and, owing to the number of detachments,
the subordinates were often placed in responsible positions.
Of the 10 European Officers attached to the regiment, 2 were invalided (one for dysenteric
diarrhoea, and the other for hepatitic congestion), both of whom have returned to duty. A third
Officer; who suffered from hepatitis and dysentery, is still in a very bad state of health.

November 1875 to 31st March 1876, was—

FROM
THE SURGEON GENERAL,
INDIAN MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
TO
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay, 17th February 1879.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the
Governor in Council, my Annual Administration Report on the Lunatic Asylums
of this Presidency and Sind for the year 1878.
2. In the following paragraphs I think it preferable to confine myself to
facts alone, making the general review of the working of the asylums as short
and concise as possible.
Asylum Population.
Admissions and Re-admis¬
sions.
Discharged.
Mortality.
3. Proceeding with an analysis of the Statements—No. 1 shows that during
the past year the total asylum population numbered
829, as compared with 869 for the preceding year.
Of this total 681 were males and 148 were females. On the 1st of January 1878
there remained 468 males and 105 females—a total of
573; and there were admitted during the year 202
males and 40 females—total 242. The re-admissions
were 11 males and 3 females. The discharges from the asylums numbered 208,
and of these 185 were males and 23 females. Sixty-three males and 8 females were
discharged cured; and of those transferred to friends
110 males and 14 females were improved, while 10
males and 1 female left unimproved. Of the two discharged, " otherwise," one
was an escape, and the second was transferred from one asylum and admitted
into another. The deaths during the year numbered 41,
or 15 less than in the preceding year. There remained
in the asylums on the 31st of December last 580 inmates—463 males and 117
females.
Daily Average Strength and
Daily Average Sick.
4. The daily average strength was 480.2 males and 114 females a total
of 594.2, as compared with a total of 598.9 for the
year previous. The daily average number of sick was
43—35.3 males and 7.7 females. In 1877 the figures
were 47.9 and 13.8, respectively.

average of 55.1 males and 3.4 females employed in the preceding year. With
respect to crimes 50 males and 2 females are murderers;
theft accounts for 30 cases; voluntarily causing griev-
ous hurt for 12; and mischief and assault, and housebreaking for 3 each. In
the remaining cases the crimes are piracy, arson, rape, culpable homicide not
amounting to murder, forgery, attempt to commit suicide, and a few miscellaneous
offences.
18. The accompanying abstracts of the separate reports will afford Govern-
ment all the information necessary with regard to asylum buildings, sanitation,
general health and treatment of the insanes, employment, conduct of establish-
ments, &c. In conclusion I need only express here my satisfaction at the care-
ful manner in which the several Superintendents have carried out their important
duties.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
W. G. HUNTER, M.D.,
Surgeon General.

from the jail factory, and has been good and sufficient. Food has been of excellent quality,
but owing to the past bad years the bazaar prices have ruled very high. The accommodation
has been just sufficient. It would be desirable, when funds are forthcoming, to erect a
detached building for female lunatics. Sickness and mortality were less than during the
preceding year. In October and November many cases of fever occurred, but less, com-
paratively, than amongst the surrounding population. There was no epidemic disease. The
inmates of the asylum have been employed in garden labour, grinding grain, carrying
water, and helping to keep their quarters clean. The Superintendent observes that this
healthy bodily exercise greatly assists recovery, but that it is not every insane who can be
persuaded to work. In a small number of cases mild restraint, consisting of confinement
for a short time in a separate cell, was practised. In December a criminal lunatic, convicted
for theft, effected his escape, but was after a few days captured by the police and brought
back to the asylum. The total asylum population numbered 129, or 109 males and 20
females. The total net expenditure amounted to Rs. 13,173-13-7, and the net cost per head
to Rs. 121-8-4. The figures for the previous year were Rs. 11,702-4-2 and Rs. 108-4-0,
respectively. The Superintendent again brings to favourable notice the meritorious services
of the Hospital Assistant, Mr. Joseph Solomon, who is kind and attentive to the patients,
and ensures that the warders and servants are so likewise. The Visitors have inspected the
asylum regularly.
COWASJI JEHANGIER ASYLUM, HYDERABAD.
Superintendent—SURGEON-MAJOR S. O'B. BANKS.
The buildings, although no annual repairs have been executed during the past year, are
in good order. There has been no want of accommodation. The water-supply is ample and
of good quality. Conservancy and all sanitary arrangements are well attended to and effective.
Food has been good and sufficient, but the bazaar rates were very high. Owing to an
unhealthy season general health has not been so favourable; and the admissions to hospital
for fevers and bowel complaints have been somewhat in excess. There were 12 deaths, one
more than in 1877 ; four of these were from malarious fevers, and an equal number from
bowel complaints. The inmates were employed, as far as possible, at gardening, brick-making,
and corn-grinding : they also built a wall to enclose part of the asylum compound. Restraint
has not been necessary in any case. A male lunatic (ordinary) escaped in May last, but,
although every effort was made, the police failed to capture him. The total asylum population
numbered 166, or 141 males and 25 females. The total net expenditure amounted to
Rs. 12,747-11-7, and the net cost per patient to Rs. 108-0-6. In the preceding year the
figures were Rs. 11,578-5-8 and Rs. 100-10-11, respectively. The Superintendent speaks
in the highest terms of the manner in which Mr. Mendes, the Hospital Assistant, has per-
formed his duties and of the kindness and attention with which he treats the inmates. The
Visitors inspected the asylum regularly.
