14. Statements Nos. IX and X exhibit the sickness and mortality of the
units of which the Native Army is composed,—battalions, half-battalions and
batteries,—arranged in order of severity. These tables constitute an index of
the sanitary condition of the various individual bodies of men cantoned through-
out the Presidency, and may be used as a guide to the sanitary reports, of which
careful abstracts have been made. A summary view is also given of the statis
-tics of each regiment for the five years preceding that under report, which
constitutes a statistical epitome of the recent history of each regiment. A
very complete view is thus offered of the sanitary state of the Native Army
on the principle of treating separately the separate units living under a com
-munity of circumstances affecting health. It will be found on reference to
these reports, that the principle has been (in paragraph XV of each) extended, so
as to indicate the vital statistics of bodies detached from regiments, when such
are available. It will be found that in many cases, more especially in the East--
ern Frontier Districts, the apparent sickness of a regiment is not so much due
to the conditions existing in the station where the head-quarters are cantoned,
as to conditions prevailing elsewhere. In compiling the abstracts of the sani-
tary reports, care has been taken to avoid repetitions of information given in
previous reports, and to include only details of real interest and importance as
affecting the sanitary welfare of the sepoy.
