There is no indication of any decrease in the admissions for this group.
52. Venereal diseases
This group accounted for 837 admissions compared with 812 of the
previous year.

The tendency for the admissions for the total venereal diseases amongst
Indian troops and followers to remain at a low level is well illustrated by
the following :—

The drop of admissions of the past 2 years may well be due to increasing resort to
private treatment in the Bazaar.
53. Small-pox
The incidence is practically constant at 22 admissions this year and
is remarkably small considering the population at risk. The vaccination
state is very high : 98.8 per cent. being fully protected at the half yearly
October census.

56. Diseases of the Respiratory system
The diseases -of this group including pulmonary tuberculosis and pneu-
monia gave an incidence of 22 . 8 per 1,000. There were no definite epidemics
until an outbreak of mild influenza commenced in December in Lahore District
but the cases were mainly dealt with under barrack treatment, there being at
Ferozepore 117 cases in the cavalry and training battalion and 105 at Lahore.
Deaths from this group were :
Pneumonia 48, or a case mortality of 8 . 56 per cent.
Tuberculosis 14, or a case mortality of 7 . 45 per cent.
Other respiratory diseases 5, or a case of mortality of 1 . 20 per cent.
102
Pulmonary Tuberculosis, of which there were 188 cases during the year,
has given its lowest admission figure for at least 12 years in Northern Com-
mand: It is considered that the improvement may be due to better housing
conditions which have been introduced since the Great War.
There were 160 Indian Officers and L. O. Rs. and 35 Followers inva-
lided during the year for Tuberculosis.
Pneumonia and Broncho-pneumonia.-The admission rate for these
remains practically constant. The total admissions were 561 with 48 deaths,
Northern Command producing the highest number while in Southern Com-
mand the admissions have again decreased and are half that of 12 years ago.

The steady decrease in cases, the more marked decrease in deaths which
are a quarter of that of 1931 and the decrease in percentage mortality are
gratifying. With the introduction of the sulphonamide group of drugs
this disease which was so feared by Indian troops may be held even more in
check.
The results of the enquiry into treatment with rectified spirit in saline
on which comment was made in last year's report have shown that it has only
been used in a few cases. One case, a prolonged case of pleurisy, in which
tuberculosis was suspected, improved rapidly with injections of 20 c.c.
of 30 per cent. alcohol every fourth day. The sulphonamide group of drugs
offers much greater scope.
The incidence of the diseases of the group is best shown in table form.

The majority of cases were admitted at Nowshera (6), Risalpur (3), Mir
Ali (3), Manzai (3). The use of extra salt and its possible effects have been
discussed in paragraph 24 of Section I.
58. Mental Diseases
The number of admissions for this continues at approximately the same
figure. The majority of cases were admitted in Northern and Eastern
Commands with 46 and 29 cases.

There has been a very marked fall of 100 cases in admissions in Western
Ind. District, the rate per 1,000 dropping from 376 to 283. This has been due
to the reduction in malarial admissions and this reduction favours a fall in
death rate.
In Eastern and Northern Command respectively the admission rates
have increased 21 and 15 per 1,000. This is partly accounted for by the in-
crease in relapses of malaria acquired in the Waziristan operations of 1937 ,
that in Northern Command being 20 per 1,000. Compensating for this there
was a marked reduction in sandfly fever which at 6 . 60 per 1,000 is the lowest
recorded.
The dysentery-diarrhœa group increased and there were 4 cases of
cholera : 2 at Razani, 1 at Kohat and 1 at Jutogh.
The death rate as usual is high, viz., 3 . 62 per 1,000 compared with 3.96
and 3 . 58 per 1,000 for 1937 and 1936. This is high compared with the death
rate of. Other Ranks.

This figure probably gives a somewhat erroneous idea of the relative
mortality amongst this class of personnel because Followers as a whole, and
the Sweeper class in particular, tend to avoid admission to hospital until
necessity compels, so that only the really seriously ill form the bulk of the
admissions. There is moreover the generally lower scale of feeding and clothing
adopted for this class which does not enhance their powers of resistance when
ill.
The Labour Camp and Hospital, Quetta.--The population of the camp has
decreased as there is a tendency for the labourers to go to live in the city.
The camp hospital has only had 721 admissions this year compared with
1,301 of 1937. The disinfestation centre, which has been an elaborate affair
has only been used once, for a small group of men, since it was established.
Weekly medical examinations of all personnel employed are carried out
in 3 centres close to the work not in the camp and daily sick parades are held
at 5 centres close to the work. Vaccination has been compulsory.

Workers in Arsenals.—Special attention has been drawn and paid to the
conditions of work for certain classes of employees in arsenal workshops.
Improvements are being made in the work of welders and painters. The
main defect in many places is that of " lighting on the plane of work ". This
extremely important point for efficiency of production and prevention of
accident is often grossly neglected, partly from habitude partly from want
of attention and partly from economy. A point which is certainly not re-
cognised in India is that " you cannot get good work from bad lighting ".
'This applies to all classes of work and is particularly obvious in the numerous
Headquarters offices and stores of the Army in India.
60. Recruiting
The total number of recruits at the recruiting centres in the year ending
the 31st March 1939 was 21,088, of these 9,172 were rejected, a percentage of
43 . 5 compared with 35'73 per cent. of the previous year.
The principal causes of rejection of recruits for this year has been as

Trachoma amongst Recruits.-The Secretary, The Indian Soldiers Board,
raised the question with the Chief Recruiting Officer, Delhi as to whether
there was a real increase in trachoma in the civil population in the principal
recruiting areas to account for the increasing number of promising young
men who were being rejected on account of trachoma. The matter was taken
up with the Public Health Commissioner who replied to the effect that a
comparison of the figures for 1935, 1936 and 1937 did not suggest any ab-
normal increase in cases treated for trachoma in the recruiting areas of the
Punjab and Delhi Province. No special measures were being taken by the
Inspector General of Civil Hospitals except by means of lectures and pro-
paganda ; but that a " Blindness Week " would be held throughout the
country early in 1939 to raise an intensive campaign for precautionary measures.
against blindness and eye diseases.
It is to be hoped that any measures adopted will bear fruit because the
concern of the Indian Soldiers' Board over the apparent increase of trachoma.
is fully justified by figures available from military records. The numbers rejected for trachoma at the main recruiting centres were as follows:—

It will be observed that comparing 1936 and 1937 the number rejected in
1937 in the Delhi recruiting area was just over 9 times that of 1936. In 1938
the number was less, but still more than 7 times the figure of 1936. It will
also be noticed that there has been a marked fall in rejections in the Rawalpindi
area in the three years.
Even granted that attention is focussed on the condition and that diag-
nosis is more accurate, there appears to be a marked increase of the condition
in the recruitable population of the Delhi area.
61. Welfare Work among Indian Troops' Families
The extent of this work is again noted as increasing steadily in many
stations. It is becoming more and more valued by the Indian soldier and
difficulties of caste, class and religion are definitely interfering to a smaller
degree.
Infant welfare work is however largely becoming merged into that of the
general care of families and the provision and use of family hospitals in which
are provided beds for maternity cases.
In fact comment is made in the yearly reports about this to the effect
that demands for treatment and for unit or station family hospitals are more
pronounced than those for infant welfare work alone. Infant welfare work
is however much appreciated and has a very definite value, but the treatment
of children and women bulks even more largely. Owing to this demand
comment is frequently made that the time is rapidly approaching when the
treatment of families of Indian troops and followers and the provision of
hospitals for this purpose will have to be recognised as an obligation on central
authority. The solution suggested in some cases is the allotment of a portion
of the Indian military hospital for this purpose. Where spare buildings exist
this may be possible ; but the authorised provision of beds for troops and
followers will at times be fully required and such encroachments could not be
allowed.
At present, apart from certain payments of wages and provision of
personnel, the whole welfare and families treatment system is run by voluntary
effort, by subscription from units, by donation from central charitable funds
and by the personal support, both physical and financial, of the wives of
officers of the units concerned. In addition a great deal of voluntary work
is given by Medical Officers and members of the I. M. D.
The opinion of medical officers is that the whole movement is worth
while, not only from the point of view of immense improvements in the physical
conditions of the families, but also from the beneficial effect on the
troops concerned.
Three years ago those controlling welfare centres were asked to compile
daily registers of the work done and to include these in an annual report for
which a proforma was issued. At the end of 1938 a further questionnaire
was issued. asking for comments on specified lines and in reference to specified
diseases. These have been incorporated in the present annual reports to a
modified degree, but will be included more fully for 1939. Further details
are best discussed in the order given in this questionnaire.

to bring them late in the disease is mentioned in some stations with conse-
quently a higher mortality rate. A seasonal incidence, spring and mid-
summer, corresponding to the fly prevalence, has been particularly noted
at many stations ; but no marked correlation of families' cases to troops'
cases has been observed in the majority of reports.
Attention to home-visiting and advice on the improvement of local sanita-
tion is mentioned in many reports.
Diagnoses are made usually on clinical grounds except in the case of in-
patients when laboratory facilities are available.
Enteric group of fevers.—Treatment and isolation of cases is recorded
from families hospitals at Kohat, Chaklala, Abbottabad, Bakloh and Banga-
lore. T. A. B. inoculations of women and children is obtained in many
stations.
Tuberculosis.—In 14 stations 2 or more cases diagnosed by sputum
examinations are recorded. In all cases steps are taken to isolate the infective
person. In a number of instances subsequent sanatorium treatment has
been obtained for the patient, in others they have been sent away to their
homes, advice as to risks of infection being given before dispatch.

that in these conditions much benefit is observed. Trachoma cases are specially
noted from Rawalpindi, Jhelum and Jullundur.
In many places the more serious cases are seen by the eye specialist.
Respiratory diseases.—The beneficial results from proper treatment
particularly for cases of pneumonia as in-patients is specially noted in several
reports.
Infectious diseases.—Where hospital facilities exist isolation of measles
and diphtheria has been carried out. At Kohat diphtheria in a family,
proved by laboratory examination, was traced to the father who was proved
to be a virulent carrier. He was cleared by six weeks' treatment.
