Queens Hospital Reports.

HONOLULU, Dec. %, 1873.
To The Trustees Of The Queens Hospital:
GENTLEMEN: / have the honor TO submit the fol-
lowing report for the quarter ending Dist December.
The total number of patients at present in the Hos
pital is 20, viz: 40 males ana 20 females (Hawaiian),
and 6 foreigners q p~aying). The number of admis-
sons during that period have been 100, viz: Ga males
and 30 females (Hawaiians), and 10 foreigners.
Discharged, l0l, viz: 90 males and 80 females (IIa-
waiians), and If foreigners. Besides the above leo
new cases have been entered in the dispensary books,
making a total Of 2G9 for the quarter, and 4,GIG
prescriptions made up. The greatest number of pa
tients in the Hospital at one time was SS-the small
est 60. The daily average of indoor patients for the
quarter was 10; dispensary 8. During the quarter
there have been 8 deaths-5 males aud 2 females OIa-
waiians), and ] foreigner; | from congestion Of the
lungs, l from typhoid fever, l from pyGmia, l from
hGmoptysis, l from accident (foreigner), | from dc.
bility, / from chronic dy~sentery, and / from pulmo-
nary consumption.
During the year AS cases have been treated as in
ternal patients &c more than in 1921, making "A
daily average of 81. Discharged, 42G. OF these 2G0
were from Oahu, "a from Hawaii, % from Maui, 2
+ from Molokai, 20 from Kauai, ] from Niihau, and 3
from the Southern Islands. besides III foreigners; at
the dispensary S25, making a total Of ! 1913 new
cases, besides a number Of regular attenders not re-
entered in the books. There have been 4 amputa-
Itions, 3 operations for the removal Of large tumors,
besides a number Of minor operations, all OF which
have been successful.
During the year there have been only ~ deaths;
amongst these l was from suicide, / from accident
(both foreigners), 3 from pulmonary consumption.
and 9 incurable cases who succumbed very shortly
after admission; which certainly goes far TO prove
what proper control and sanitary regulations, yigor-
ously enforced. may yet do to save this race.
Twelve months ago / considered il my duty TO di-
rect the attention of the Trustees to the great and
rapid increase of syphilis, dating | may say from the
very hour the late Minister of the Interior saw fit TO
take upon himself the authority to abrogate the " Act
to Mitigate &C., "a law which for some reason or
other is still not cnforced.) 1t again becomes my
painful duty to state that this disease-which has al
ready committed such frightful ravages upon the ma
tives Of these Islands-is rapidly and ~fearfully in
creasing. in proof Of which l need only say that ia,
or nearly 40 per cent. Of all the cases treated in the
Hospital this year we're Of this disease, besides which
many of the others could clearly be traced to the same
cause. Very respectfully submitted,

Surgeon to the Queens Hospital.

e Tidings Of q disaster to the British forces on
the River Prah, operating against Ashantee, are
found in a letter to the London Times. Late in the
month of August, an expedition was sent up the
river, from II. b. MS S. Ratiesnake, consisting Of
two steam launches, a ships gig and surf-boats, un-
der the command Of Commodore COmmerel, V. C.,
c.. B., Aid de camp to the Queen. The boats had
proceeded but a short distance up the river when a
murderous fire was poured into them by an appar-
emily large body Of Ashantees, who were ambushed
on the thickly wooded banks of the Prah. C0mmo-
dore Commerel received four wounds, two Of them
severe. Captains Luxmore and Holden were also
severely wounded. 1t is not known how many of the
crews were injured. One sailor fell into the hands
of the Ashantees, who Immediately beheaded him in

CREATURE CoMFoRTs.-It was appetizing on Christ
mas eve to pay a visit to the meat markets of Homo
lulu, and inspect the provision made for next days
dining of our citizens. Boyd's Family Market in
particular, displayed some unusually handsome beef,
gaily decorated with garlands of flowers, while the
tables groaned with roasting pigs, turkeys, geese,
ducks, chickens and plover. Mr.. Boyd is evidently

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ~TATE-Visitors at the Oahu
Prison during q number Of years past viii have re
membered an elderly man in the hospital quarters
who was usually seen quietly porting over a much
used copy Of the New Testament. This was Captain
William Tate, a native of TOpsham, State Of Maine,
who had been an inmate Of the prison for nearly six
teen years past. His first attack of insanity, which
occurred in 1857. was violent, but after q few months
lapsed into a mild form of mental alteration, which
continued up to the day of his sudden death on Mon
day morning last. After the completion of the In
sane Asylum, Captain Tate objected to removing
thither. declaring that it was the Divine will that he
should remain in the prison, and it was thought best
not to excite him by a removal. The day before his
death, the Marshal, noticing that he was rapidly
failing in health, endeayored to persuade him to 60
and live with his family, but without success. He
vas some two months over 60 years. of age, and

DRIFTED TO SEA.-Last Monday q number of ca
noes went outside the reef to fish, and towards night
the wind blew SO strong that the rowers had great
difficulty in getting back to port. Several of the ca
noes were nearly all night struggling to gain the pas
sage, and one canoe containing one man, is missing,
and is supposed to have drined on to sea, as nothing
has been heard of it.

Every drop of blood that creulates
through the veins eventually becomes a
solid particle of the body. Flesh, bone and
muscle are merely solidifed blood, and
upon the quality of the blood depends the
condition of the whole physical system.
Unless the liquid material by which the hui
man substance is renewed and sustained is
pure and nutritious it is impossible that the
body can be healthy and strong. One of
the most important properties of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is that of improv-
ing the condition of the vital fluid when in
fected or impoverished. Acting directly
and powerfully upon the stomaclA in which
the manufacture of the blood is COM
menced, and upon the liver which secretes
a fluid next in importance to the stream OF
life itself, this powerful vegetable tonic and
depureht has an immense indirect influence
upon the circulation. Hence the extraor-
binary cures wrought by the bitters in cases
of general debility, malarious levers,
umatism. biliousness. constipation, etc.

An Accident.
From the Vicksburg Times.

From the lckSburg Times, 18th.
Mr.. VIM. II. eastman, young gentle
man employed in the Times office, met with
an accident yesterday, which, though not
likely to prove very serioTS, has placed him
in position which will keep him confined
for some days.
The circumstances are rs follows: Mr..
eastman had gone to the composing room
in the second story. with his assistant, and
had taken the forms of the weekly which
he placed on the elevator for the purpose of
putting them in the press. Having full con-
fidence in the ropes which held the elevator
he stepped on. when the ropes gave way
and all fell a distance of about t. enty five
feet. striking the ground in the cellar. Drs.
Shannon and Booth were Immediately sum-
moned, who gave young eastman every
attention. pronouncing him much bruised,
with some internal injuries. none OF which
they considered fatal. He was removed to
Mr.. Wright's, where he is most kindly
cared for by the family.
IATER.-Mr. eastman is. we are happy
to say, improving quite rapidly. Fears
were entertained for his recovery until last
night. when achange took place, and he Is
nov doing very well.-Times, Is.

TIoN.-On last Tuesday the colored Sunday
Schools turned out, and, after parading the
principal streets, repaired to the Fair

ing. There were four schOols-the North

African Methodist and a visiting school
in line. with about five hundred teachers
and scholars. As far as we were able to
Judge, it was entirely Invested of politics
and politicians, for which we give its man
ayers credit. We believe all the partici-
pants enjoyed the day, and went home at
night entirely satisfied with the manner in
which the celebration passed off.

COOPER's WELLS.-This famous re-
sort for invalids has nearly as many guests
as can be provided for. They come and 60
however, and there is always room for a
dozen more. We happened there on Sun
day evening last, and found about fifty
guests res istered-mostly from VieksbuFg
and Jackson, and some from distant points,
who had gone there to drink of the healing
water and to breathe the pure atmosphere
/ of the place. The water of Cooper's Well
| has effected astonishing cures in cases Of
diarrhua, dyspepsia, torpid liver and gem
eral debility. Distinguished chemists have
analyzed the water, and found it to contain
those properties which are most valuable In
curing the diseases named.
1t is to be regretted that the Cooper's
Well property should remain unimproyed.
Mr.. l.. England, the present gentlemanly
lessee. has made the diapidated row of
rooms a. pleasant and comfortable as pos
sible. and with really good fare and atten
tive servants gives entire satisfaction to
his guests. Bar the property should be i'm
pr we'd. Neat cottages should dot the bill |
sides. and pleasant walks and shaded seats |
spacious dining aud sitting halls, and all |
the ct ceteras that go TO make up summer |
resort, should be provided. The property |
embraces a tract of valuable land, about |
eight hundred acres, and can be purchased |
at a reasonable price. About fifty thousand /
dollars invested in such improvements as
W. have indicated, would afford accommo-
datons for five hundred or more guests,
