Of the above, with the exception of Mándvi, where the plague has raged and
which will be treated separately, the following have only suffered to any
extent :—
Godhra,—Eight miles from Mándvi, population 1,900 The first imported
case from Mándvi occurred on the 9th January 1897 and the next on 25th April
1897.
The first case was probably a man who had landed from Bombay and es-
caped observation. There were no indigenous cases, however, till the 4th July
1897, when on that date there were 2 cases and 2 deaths 9 and on the 6th 1 case,
1 death.
There were then no more cases till the 31st July, since when there have
been 13 cases and 5 deaths.
Gundiáli.—193 cases, 166 deaths. This village, population 4,600, four
miles north of Máudvi, was first attacked on the 10th March 1897 (an indigenous
case), the man, an inhabitant of the village., having been to Mándvi and there
become infected. From the first attack the plague has been steadily going on up
to now without a break. This village has suffered in proportion just as much as
Mándvi, and it appears most difficult to eradicate the disease at this village.
Great difficulty has been experienced in regard to house search, the inhabitants,
who are Rajputs, being most averse to having their houses entered and their
women seen. A hospital was started at this village on the 4th August, two
nurses have been sent to look after the sick, and everything is being done that
can be done; and now that the rains are over, the Darbár are issuing orders for a
general camping out of the people.
Maska. —One mile north of Mándvi, population 1,600. This village was first
attacked by a case from Karachi on the 8th March 1897, and between that date
und the 16th April 1897 there were 17 indigenous cases and 15 deaths. Till the
25th April there was a break when cases were imported from Mándvi, the plague
having gob a thorough hold of the latter place about the beginning of April.
Since then the disease has gone on till up to date ; there have been 79 indigenous
cases and 69 deaths,
Kathda, five miles west of Mándvi, 1 from sea-coast, population 1,100, was
first infected about the beginning of May by a case from Mándvi, and between the
18th May and 13th June 1897 there were 27 indigenous cases and 27 deaths,
The people of this village, where the plague seemed to be getting a hold, were
turned bodily out and encamped outside. The houses in which cases had occur-
red and those adjoining, were thoroughly cleaned and lime-washed, and the whole
village generally put into a cleaner state and the people kept out for nearly a
