•Worked out on quinquennium aggregates.

Many factors have adversely affected the health statistics of the British troops
in India during the year 1919.

Although active hostilities with Germany ceased towards the end of 1918,
reconstruction at Home, the return of Dominion and Commonwealth troops to
their homes, the demobilization of our armies and the time entailed in the enlist¬
ment and formation of the post-war army did not permit of the relief of the
Garrison and Territorial units garrisoning India until the autumn of 1919, when the
first formations of the post-war army commenced to arrive.

As has been pointed out in previous reports, the Garrison units, and to
some extent the Territorial troops, in India during the latter period of the war,
were composed largely of elderly men and soldiers who, from minor disabilities,
had been found temporarily unfit to reinforce the armies operating in Meso¬
potamia and East Africa. Naturally such men were least able to resist the
climatic conditions of India and helped to swell the admissions to
hospital.

On the other hand the relieving formations which arrived towards the end
of 1919 contained a high proportion of young soldiers under 20 years of age,

(a) This report does not include the statistics of mobilized troops of formations included in the forces that wtre
engaged during certain periods of 1919 in operations on the North-West Frontier of India.

and many instances were found pointing to the fact that the medical inspection of
the men prior to embarkation 'for India had not been carried out with the
thoroughness and the appreciation of climatic conditions that is necessary in the
case of soldiers who are about to serve in a tropical country. In addition a
certain proportion of “ B ” category men were included in the units.
As is always the case with new arrivals in India, especially soldiers of the
types mentioned above, numbers suffered from complaints which, though trivial in
themselves, increased the admissions to hospital.
The general unrest in Northern India, and the hostilities by Afghanistan and
all along the North-West Frontier from May 1919 onwards bad the effect of
retaining men in the plains in unusual numbers, during a very trying hot weather,
who under more normal circumstances, would have been serving at hill stations.

Delhi.—Almost every case of malaria in Delhi originated in the Fort. New can¬
tonments and the Kingsway Camp were free from infection. There are no breeding
places in the Fort itself, but it harbours innumerable anophelene mosquitoes, and
as it is in the immediate neighbourhood of a large Indian city crowded with carriers
of the parasite, infection of residents in the Fort is only a matter of time. The
chief breeding grounds are in the Civil Gung adjacent to the Fort. The civil
authorities are gradually proceeding with an extensive anti-mosquito scheme in

that area. Until this has proved effective, British troops quartered in the Fort
during the months May to November inclusive are liable to have a large propor¬
tion of men rendered inefficient, in spite of the strictest precautions.

Prophylactic quinine was issued daily under close supervision and proved of
no avail and rendered laboratory diagnosis more difficult.
• •

Colctba and Bombay.—A third of the total admissions were stated to be re¬
lapses. A high incidence was noted in the newly arrived Battalion in Colaba.
Anophelene mosquitoes were found breeding in Colaba and anti-malaria measures
were carried out in conjunction with the Colaba Board of Health. Men of the
Motor Transport Section quartered in old Town Barracks in the Fort also had
a high incidence. The surrounding area is very congested and the work of
searching for breeding places is consequently arduous and control difficult.

Peshawar.—A third of the total admissions were stated to be relapses. The


presence of a highly infected bazaar population and the system of drainage and
irrigation in vogue has always been responsible for the high incidence of malaria
in this station. The bulk of ithe water is carried in open earth channels which *
are badly graded and.difficult to keep clear of vegetation and free from pockets
where water may lie when the channels are not in use. The increased incidence
this year is attributed to the excessive rainfall during the malaria season.

Secunderabad.—There was a satisfactory decrease in the incidence of malaria


as compared with 1918. Since the inception of major drainage measures in this
station there has been a steady fall in the admissions for this disease.

Ambala. The decrease in incidence compared with 1918 is attributed to a late


and mild monsoon and to the vigorous anti-malarial measures commenced early
and carried out strictly throughout the malaria season.

Poona.—1The Bhairoba Nullah is the anophelene breeding centre in the station


It is probable that if this source of breeding could be eliminated, Poona would be
almost free from malaria. Schemes for dealing with the danger have been formu¬
lated and minor measures carried out have undoubtedly led to a diminished inci¬
dence of the disease, but, until leakage into the Nullah from the canal is prevent¬
ed no marked success can be expected. ^

Mosquito nets are authorised in the plains for all British troops and their
families and their use, as far as is possible, is insured. It is hoped that when
electric fans and lights are installed in all barracks there will be a diminution in
the incidence of the disease. Men will then be more inclined to use the net even
in the hottest weather, and mosquitoes will find greater difficulty in approaching

At 45 hospitals attempts were made to distinguish between fresh cases and re

Poona.—Of the total of 47 cases, 40 occurred in men attached to the Military
Accounts Department. These men were collected from stations all over India
and were employed on the accounts of men about to be demobilized. They were
located over a wide area chiefly under canvas, and in the cantonment area adjacent
to the city. They worked long hours and owing to the nature of the duties and
their location they were given a money allowance in lieu of rations, if they so
desired. In consequence, the majority took their meals in hotels and restaurants
in Poona, the sanitary arrangements of which were difficult to control.
A careful enquiry was made into every case, but no local source of infection
was found and no carriers were detected.
JRawalpindi.—The cases in Rawalpindi were sporadic in nature with the
exception of a group of four cases which occurred in the 1st Battalion, Cameron
Highlanders, approximately a fortnight after their arrival in the station. It was
considered that the men were probably infected during the journey from Lucknow.
No source of infection was discovered in any of the cases which occurred during
the year.
Reports from other stations state that the cases notified were sporadic and
in no instance was the source of infection traced.

The above table indicates a striking rise in the admission rate since 1915, which
has occurred in spite of every local effort on the usual lines to check the incidence
of the disease.

The progressive increase in the admission ratio from 1915 onwards may be attri¬
buted perhaps to a certain extent to the prolonged period men of the Territorial Army
and of Garrison Battalions were necessarily retained on service in India, with a result¬
ing less of moral restraint amongst those who during the first years of their service
in India had been influenced in that respect by the home and married status many of
them enjoyed before mobilization.
European Army] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 17

The defective lighting and want of electric fans in the majority of barracks in
India tend to men seeking more attractive resorts in cities and bazars, and incurring
the risks inseparable from su ch places.

At some stations during 1919 a stimulus was given to wayside prostitution owing
to the famine conditions that prevailed during certain periods of the year.

CHOLERA.

10. There were 24 admissions for cholera during the year with 11 deaths,
giving ratios of 0*4 and 0*19, respectively, compared with i'o and 0*42 in 1918. The
admission ratio for the quinquennial period 1910-1914 was 0*3.

Cases occurred at the following stations:—Colaba.9, Rawalpindi 4, Jhansi 3,


Kirkee 3. The remainder were isolated cases.

Colaba.—The cases occurred in January and February when the disease was
prevalent in the neighbourhood. The source was not traceable.

Rawalpindi.—Two cases occurred in men en route to other stations. Cholera


was prevalent in the Punjab at the time. In no case was the source traced.

Kirhee.—The cases occurred in June, July and August. There was no apparent
connection between the cases, but cholera was prevalent in the bazar at the time.

Jhansi.—Two of the cases occurred on 25th September and one on the 2nd
October. The infection was traced to the mineral water factory of the Y. M. C. A.
where a bhisti working in the factory was found to be a carrier of the v. cholera.
He was segregated immediately and no further cases arose.

BERI—BERI.

11. There were 6 admissions for this disease with 1 death, compared with 11

l8 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section I .

In the Northern Army there were 356 admissions with 38 deaths, and in the
Southern Army 60 admissions with 4 deaths. No doubt the comparatively high
incidence during the year was largely due to the fact recorded in paragraph 1 of
this report regarding the unusual retention of men on the plains during a very trying
hot weather. 9

The high incidence in Lucknow was largely in the 3rd Garrison Battalion of the
Bedfordshire Regiment, a unit which contained a high proportion of elderly men
and had suffered severely from malaria and influenza in Burma. The outbreak
occurred as a sequel to the move of the unit from Burma to Lucknow at the hottest
time of the year, the move being necessitated by the outbreak of hostilities on the
North-West Frontier.

The following factors are largely accountable for the very high in/alicling rate
during the year :—

(1) During the first half of the year the Garrison consisted very largely of
elderly men, many of whom had spent some years in the country and had become
debilitated. All were due for demobilization and many could well have gone home
with their units during the summer, but they were invalided as it was desirable to
get them sent home before the onset of the hot weather, especially as ample shipping
facilities were available at the time.

(2) The newly arriving Battalions in the autumn brought with them a large
number of men who were suffering from disabilities detrimental to effective service
in the Tropics. As before commented on, the examination before embarkation was
not in all cases carried out with the thoroughness necessary to ensure the elimina¬
tion of menhysically unsuitable for service in India.

ADMISSIONS.

27. There has been a satisfactory decrease in the ratio of admissions for all
causes as compared with 1918. The figure has again reached a level comparable
with the corresponding figures for the earlier period of the War.

While this decrease is to be attributed to a great extent to the lower admission


ratio for Influenza, yet that this is not the sole cause is shown by the fact that
this disease still gives a much higher figure than has been known since the previous
pandemic in 1890.

The fact that the admission ratio for all causes has not, in spite of the return
of peace conditions, fallen below the level at which it stood during the great war,
is attributable to many factors of which the following are a few of the more im¬
portant.

1. The continuation, though in a less intense form, of the Influenza pandemic


with the effect its resultant debility is known to have on the incidence of other
diseases.

2. The return to India of many troops from field service overseas in Mesopo¬
tamia and Egypt, and from the North-West Frontier operations, with the well
known result on the incidence of venereal disease.

29DGIjIs
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section II,

3. The necessity for keeping the army up to a strength much above that of
the years before the great-war resulted in the enlistment of men below the best
standard of physical fitness.

The following series of tabular Statements and brief notes gives the incidence
and results of diseases collectively and separately where comment is necessary.

It is satisfactory to note that there has been a reduction in the admission ratios
of preventable bowel diseases namely enteric fever, dysentery, and diarrhoea,
and that pyrexia of uncertain origin is still further reduced. *

The diseases showing the chief increased ratios are malaria, venereal diseases,
and anaemia and debility, that is such diseases as one would expect to increase

The reduction of the ratios for all causes approximately to the level of the
pre-influenza period is very satisfactory especially in view of the fact that
influenza still remains the second greatest cause of death, exceeded only by
pneumonia of which it is likely that many cases were of influenzal origin.

The marked reduction in the ratio of deaths from enteric fever and the total
disappearance of pyrexia of uncertain origin as a cause of death are particularly
satisfactory.

These figures show that while Influenza was still an important cause of admis¬
sions to hospital, and ranked as the second greatest cause of death, yet compared
to the previous year, there was a very vast improvement.

Reports generally have indicated that there were two periods of prevalence for
this disease. One, during the first three months of the year, was the aftermath
of the great pandemic; the other, a fresh epidemic, broke out about September or
October.

Most Medical Officers are agreed in stating that, generally speaking, both
the dying pandemic and the new epidemic were of a much milder and less fatal
type than in E918; at only one station, Loralai, was the disease specially noted as
being of a very severe type, and there, it is stated, the troops’ resistance was much
lowered by malaria, which is endemic at that station.

At Peshawar too, the epidemic, which began in October caused at first a high
mortality, but diminished in severity towards the end of December.

MALARIA.

33. This year malaria again takes its usual place as the chief cause of admission
to hospital, displacing influenza which occupied that position in 1918,
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section II*
34

The actual figures and ratios compared with 1918 were:—

It is satisfactory to note that the figure for 1919, although the admission ratio
was higher than in 1918, is with the one exception of that year, lower than that
for any other year of the war.

The continued high incidence is to be attributed largely to the unrest on the-


Frontier and elsewhere, with the necessary employment of large numbers of troops
in highly malarious areas, resulting in the return to India, at intervals of units
heavily infected with the disease.

The admission ratio per 1,000 of strength for the Northern Army was 164*5,.
that for the Southern Army 123*0.

The Frontier Brigades again had a high incidence of malaria.

Thai.— Here the rice and other cultivated lands along the Sangroba and
Kurram rivers are said to be a fertile source of mosquito breeding places.

Montgomery — A station and not a cantonment, and is consequently without


cantonment funds and organisation. The ground is much cut up by kutcha
irrigation channels which are said to be responsible for much malaria.

Peshawar.—There was an increased incidence in spite of vigorous anti-malarial


measures. The presence of a highly infected bazaar population and the system of
drainage and irrigation in vogue has always been responsible for much malaria in this
station. The bulk of the water is carried in open earth channels, which are badly
giaded and difficult to keep clear of vegetation and free from pockets where water
may lie when tbe channels are not in use.
IndianArmy.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 35

Another factor which has influenced the disease is said to be lack of mosquito-
proof doors and windows in Indian troops* barracks, though all Indian ranks were
provided with mosquito nets.

The increased incidence this year is also attributed to the excessive rainfall
during the malaria season.

Rohat._Facilities for the spread of malaria are chiefly the uncontrolled


irrigated land inside and outside cantonments, and the proximity of the city and
the large village of Jangal Khel. Most of the large irrigation channels in canton¬
ments have been made pucca, but the ultimate small distribution channels still
provide breeding places.

At 35 hospitals attempts were made to distinguish between fresh cases and


relapses. In all 15,470 cases were analysed with the following results:—

PYREXIA OF UNCERTAIN ORIGIN.

35, There has been a further and very marked reduction in the figures for this
disease, which has indeed steadily decreased as a cause of sickness since the quin¬
quennial period 1910-14.

This year too, for the first time, there were no deaths from this cause.

With the more thorough methods of diagnosis now in vogue, pyrexia of uncer¬
tain origin should soon become negligible as a diagnosis in hospital.

In the Ambala Brigade, pyrexia of uncertain origin was entirely absent, coincident
with a slight increases in enteric fevers. This appears to be due to close co-opera¬
tion between the hospital and the Brigade Laboratory for purposes of diagnosis.

The Northern Army returned the same admission ratio as the Southern Army
namely 0^4, and showed a slightly lower death ratio, viz., Northern Army 0*04,
Southern Army 0 07.

There were no serious epidemics of this disease among Indian troops, but small
outbreaks occurred at Mhow, Almora and Landi Kotal.

The fallowing stations with a strength of over 500 men returned the highest
admission ratios (per i,ooo of strength), Risalpur 5*7, Almora 4.4, Mhow 2*9,
Landi Kotal 2*4, Dinapore 2*1.

At Almora the outbreak occurred in the i-5oth Kumaon Rifles among whom
there were 6 cases and suspicion fell on the milk seller’s shop in the lines. It was
found that of two private servants who were employed there in handling the
milk and making curds, one had a positive Widal re-action to Paratyphoid A.
Indian Army.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 39

He was removed and the outbreak ceased. There were two further cases, probably
sporadic, which occurred later. The source of their infection could not be traced.

At Mhow 12 cases occurred most of them in August and September ; there


was one sporadic case in April. There was no suspicion as regards the water
supply and flies were not prevalent at the time ; the outbreak may have been propo*
gated by faulty sanitary conditions, especially cook-houses and latrines, and action
was taken to remedy this.

At Landi Kotal 4 cases occurred in September and October. The source of


infection could not be traced, but only one man of those infected had been inocu¬
lated. The Officer Commanding, 44 Indian General Hospital remarks that the
water supply, which depends for its safety on chlorination by units, and on the
men only drinking from authorised sources, cannot be guaranteed.

At Risalpur and Dinapore sporadic cases only occurred. At the former station
the cases occurred chiefly in the 2nd Guides Infantry attributed to the fact that a
great number of men cf the unit acquired infection on leave at their homes. There
were in all 9 cases.

At Dinapore the source of infection of the 3 cases could not be traced.

At Karachi there were 6 cases, 4 of which occurred in No. 4 Mule Depot.


The men of that unit persistently refused inoculation.

DYSENTERY, COLITIS AND DIARRHOEA.

38. There were 15,138 admissions for dysentery, colitis and diarrhoea with
69 deaths giving ratios of 65'9 and 0.30 per 1,000, respectively. The corresponding
ratios for the previous year were 58*4 and 0*45.* 'I he actual admissions for each
disease were dysentery 2,404, colitis 7,998, and diarrhoea 4,736. The differential
diagnosis between dysentery, colitis and diarrhoea is still undetermined in a con.
siderable proportion of cases, and therefore, for comparative purposes, these may be
grouped together as in the following table :—

While the ratio per 1,000 of admissions for dysentery and diarrhoea has de¬
creased, that for colitis has increased considerably. This is probably due to the
fact that in many cases the diagnosis of colitis was made through the clinical signs
of dysentery were present, no specific amoebae nor bacilli, however, having been
isolated.

40 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [ Section II.

At Debra Dan, dysentery caused an admission ratio of 22'o per 1,000. The
personnel of the M. T. School were relatively highly infected, the prevailing type
being amoebic, and the source of infection was found to lie in the employment of
casual cooks who were drawn from various sections of the unit and of whom 50
per cent, were discovered to be carriers of entamoeba histolytica,

which has taken place since the first year of the great war.

Of the 13 deaths from syphilis, two were attributable to arsenical poison¬


ing following intravenous injections.

In both cases there was unsuspected intolerance to the drug used. In one
case there was acute intolerance and the man died the same day after a single dose
of o'3 grams of Kharsivan from sudden collapse and heart failure. In the other
case the original German preparation of salvarsan was used and the patient died of
toxaemia 3 days after the second injection of o'6 gram. No cause could be
assigned for this intolerance. Two cases were admitted with spastic paraplegia,
very severe in one case with the usual accompaniments of bed sores, cystitis, etc.,
and resulting in death from this cause ; the other was somewhat indefinite and
death occurred with progressive debility.

One case developed exfoliative dermatitis after r.ovarseno-billon injections, but


apparently recovered from this and died 11 days after the last injection with sudden
heart failure.

Symptoms of meningitis developed In one case, which apparently died of this>


but no postmortem was held and the exact cause of death was undetermined.

In cne case severe ulcerated throat appeared to be the cause of,death but again
no postmortem was permitted.

In only one case of syphilis was an autopsy held after death and in this case
the cause of death was definitely ascertained to be cerebral gumma.

The remainder of the cases died apparently of uncomplicated syphilis with


progressive anaemia and weakness, unchecked by any treatment given, and in the
absence of autopsies, no definite cause of death could be assigned.

One case died of gonorrhoea, but as no case sheet was obtained, the cause of
death is unknown.

CHOLERA. * •

41. During the months of June and July cholera was prevalent in epidemic form
in the Punjab, and during May and June the troops and followers engaged in
active operations in the Khyber Pass, Peshawar, and Kohat Areas were affected to
a considerable extent.

Excluding the above forces there were 134 admissions with 77 deaths, amongst
Indian troops forming the garrison of India, giving ratios per i,coo of strength as

There were several small local outbreaks in various stations.

At Kamptee 19 cases occurred in June during the Ramzan Fast, chiefly


amongst Mohammadan troops. It was traced to drinking water from contami¬
nated wells. All troops were inoculated and the outbreak was controlled within 6
days. At Fyzabad the source of infection was thought to be Fyzabad city where
the disease was prevalent to a certain extent.

At Agra the disease was traced to a hospital cook who spent his spare time at
his village nursing a child suffering from cholera.

At Bombay the disease first made its appearance early in December 1918, the
first case being in a man who arrived from Calcutta on the 6th of that month and
who was admitted to the Labour Corps War Hospital, Dadar.

The man was admitted as a diarrhoea case, but was soon isolated as a suspected
case of cholera. By the 14th fourteen more cases had occurred in this hospital.

Up to this time there had been no cholera in Bombay for months, but on the
9th December the Municipal authorities reported that cases had occurred in the
city. From this date the disease spread steadily in the civil population, and the
whole of Bombay was involved in a widespread epidemic.

In spite of the apparent connection between the first case on December 6th and
the other cases which occurred at Dadar, exhaustive enquiry failed to establish
this as the true source of infection. The simultaneous occurrence of cases in the
hospital and the city, was taken as establishing the fact that the disease was
introduced to both at the same time from some source unknown.

How the infection subsequently spread could not be determined. In the


opinion of the Municipal authorities the water supply could not be blamed, and the
possibiliy of there being any carriers in the hospital was definitely excluded by the
usual methods.

In all 41 cases occurred amongst Indian troops and followers during the year, by
far the greatest number being in January and February. Only 5 cases occurred
amongst combatants, 3 in January 1 in February and 1 in July. In none of these
5 cases was the source of infection definitely traceable.
339DGIMS
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section II.
44

Other small epidemics of interest were the following :—Bellary had 7 cases out
of a strength of 676, the disease being introduced from the Civil Bazaar which is in
close proximity to the cantonment.

At Lahore there was an explosive epidemic among the followers of No. 3


Army Bearer Corps and the 16th Labour Corps, 28 cases occurring between the
12th and the 16th of July. The cantonment then remained free from cholera for
four weeks, when the disease again started in the Sadar Bazaar on August 13th.
Thereafter sporadic cases occurred here and there until nearly the end of
September. Amongst Indian troops, excluding followers, there occurred during the
period 12 cases, with 6 deaths.

Enquiries as to the source of infection led to the conclusion that the disease in
this case was milk borne, and due to the occasional use of unboiled milk. The milk*
supply of Indian troops was not organised, but was obtained from surrounding
villages which were at that time cholera infected. Necessary steps to prevent this
danger were accordingly taken.

In the Rawalpindi divisional area 28 cases occurred amongst troops and


followers during the year all except 4 being isolated cases.

The majority of these were traced to personal contact in infected villages, a ring
of which surrounded the station. The 4 cases mentioned above occurred amongst
the Nepalese Contingent on June 15th and 16th at Kakul.

The first party of the contingent arrived in the area on June nth actually
infected with cholera, but it was decided to allow these troops to proceed under
close observation to Kakul.

Special precautions were taken at all stations where the special troop trains
stopped. At Kakul all precautions were taken to prevent spread of the disease,
and the measures adopted were successful.
*

BERI-BERI.

42. This disease caused, only 6 admissions during the year and there were no
deaths.

This is very favourable compared with the figures for 1918 which were 52 and 7,
respectively. The cases occurred at Trichinopoly 4, Bangalore 1, and Rangoon 1.
It would appear from this that the ration as now issued to Indian troops contains a
sufficiency of anti-beri-beri vitamine.

SCURVY.

43. There were 141 admissions and 2 deaths from this disease during the year,
the respective ratios being o*6 and o*oi, per 1 ^ooo a good reduction as compared
with last year’s figures.

The chief stations returning cases were :—

Nasirabad 21, Ahmednagar 16, Anandi 12, Bombay 8, Delhi 8, Jubbul-


pore 8 and Karachi 7.

One death each occurred at Bombay and Kirkee.

There were no extensive outbreaks of the disease. At Chaman 9 cases


occurred, the first towards the end of November. The infection was considered
to have been brought by the first case, a recruit, from Darjeeling.

At Bellary there were 8 cases the first being an isolated case apparently
acquired in Bangalore, whence the man had just come. The remaining 7 cases
formed a small epidemic commencing nearly 3 months later and lasting 20 days,
after which the outbreak subsided. The first case of this series developed in a
detachment of a unit the day of its arrival from Bangalore. At the same Line the
disease was prevalent in the Civil Bazar which is close to cantonments, but which
was at that time out of bounds.

At Bangalore 67 cases occurred most of the cases were in January, February,


and March, but a few cases occurred every succeeding month until October when
the outbreak ceased. Infection was considered to have been imported from the
city and bazaars where the disease was prevalent throughout most of the year

48 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [ Section II.

At Jbansi there were 34 cases forming an epidemic lasting from January to-
May. Infection was brought from the city. All the cases bore satisfactory
vaccination marks, but most of them had not been revaccinated since childhood.

At Peshawar 19 cases occurred scattered throughout the year, infection in


most of the cases being acquired locally.

At Meerut there were 20 cases all occurring in the first half of the year. The
source of infection was unknown.

CEREBROSPINAL FEVER.

47. There were 52 admissions with 27 deaths, the ratios per 1,000 being 0*2
for admissions and o'12 for deaths.

This shows a slight reduction as compared with the previous year, when the
ratios were 0*3 and 0*19, respectively. The case mortality also shows some
improvement being 51*9 per cent as against 65*2 per cent in 1918.
The disease occurred chiefly at the following stations Jullundur 8 admissions
with 7 deaths, Meerut 7 admissions with 3 deaths, Karachi 7 admissions with
5 deaths, Multan 4 admissions with 2 deaths, Allahabad 4 admissions with 1
death, Quetta 3 admissions, Peshawar 3 admissions, Agra 2 admissions with.
1 death.

In the majority of cases the diagnosis was confirmed bacteriologically. There


is no report of any source of infection being traced.
At Karachi it is stated that the cases were a residue from the previous year.

As these figures indicate, there was no notable outbreak of this disease


most of the cases being sporadic and occurring in districts where plague is
endemic at certain periods of the year. Only at Barrackpore was there any¬
thing like a definite epidemic. Here 5 cases occurred in February and 6 in
March. They were all of the bubonic type and all confirmed bacteriologically.
The source of infection was said to be the cantonment bazaar.

At Jubbulpore the cases occurred amongst men of the 2-y6th Punjabis whose
lines were adjacent to the site occupied by ejected tenants of the Sadar Bazar,
where plague appears to be almost endemic. The necessity for more rat proof
godowns here is emphasised.

a small outbreak in the Labour Corps Unit, whose recruits are drawn from the
endemic area, i.e , Garhwal and Kumaon districts. Here as in other cases the
disease was immediately checked by vigorous preventive measures.

Cases occurring at other stations were sporadic, originating from recruits, or


men returned from leave. It did not spread. The great value of salvarsan
treatment is generally recognised.

occurring out of hospital.

The following were the causes : —


Gunshot wounds 12 (including 4 British officers) suffocation from strangu¬

INVALIDING.

59. The number of troops invalided from the Indian Army was 4,999, giving a
ratio of 21*8 per 1,000.

The principle causes of invaliding were venereal diseases 1,020, avsemia and
debility 456, respiratory diseases 388, injuries 376, tubercle of lung 369, eye
diseases 333, malaria 296, and circulatory diseases 244.

Venereal diseases unfortunately still head the list of causes for invaliding. It
is probable that many of these cases were recruits who by reason of the disease
were judged unlikely to become efficient soldiers. Of the total number invalided
for tubercle of lung, 27 were Gurkhas. The invaliding rate from this cause being
1*4 among Gurkhas compared with \'6 for the remaining Indian troops.

GENERAL POPULATION
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS DURING 1919.

63. Rainfall.—The following is a short summary of the memorandum written


by the Director-General of Observatories :—

1. During the cold weather period (January and February) precipitation was
heavy in January but mostly below normal and irregularly distributed in February.
It was in defect in Burma, Assam, Sind, Bombay and Baluchistan.

2. During the hot weather period (March to May) thunderstorms were not so
numerous as usual.

The total rainfall of the period was in excess in the Central Provinces and
Hyderabad, slightly below normal in the North-West Frontier Province, Sind,
Central India, Mysore and Madras, and in defect over the rest of the country.

3. The monsoon period (June to September), The Arabian Sea monsoon


appeared in the Peninsula, about the normal date, while the Bay current arrived
in North East India about a week before the usual time. Both currents were fitful
up to the middle of July. During the last half of this month there was abundant
rain over most of the Peninsula and North-West India,

In August, the monsoon was above its average strength, but rainfall was concen¬
trated in Northern and Central India at the expense of the Peninsula. In September
the conditions -were reversed* but a considerable decrease in the strength of the
monsoon took place at a very much earlier date than usual.

The total monsoon rainfall of the year was 9 per cent in excess of the normal.

4. The retreating monsoon period (October to December). During October


rainfall was deficient over the greater part of the country. In November and
December, the monsoon was above its average strength.

The total rainfall of the period was in defect in Upper Burma, Bihar, the United
Provinces, Baluchistan and Rajputana West, and nearly normal or in excess elsewhere.

Taking the year as a whole the total rainfall over the plains of India was 4 "
above the average. The only areas with a marked deficiency were the Bay Islands,
Assam, Baluchistan and North Hyderabad.

Cloud, humidity and temperature. No marked variation from the normal


occurred.
AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS.

64. The unfavourable character of the season at sowing time (retreating


monsoon period, 1918) and the prevalence of influenza restricted the area sown for
wheat and winter oil seeds.

The total area sown for wheat was 23,764,000 acres, and the estimated outturn
7,502,000 tons. The yield was 707 lbs. per acre.

The total area under rape and mustard was 4,833,000 acres, and under linseed
*>97 3,000 acres. The yield per acre being 351 lbs. for rape and mustard, and 260
lbs. lor linseed.
229DGIMS Q
56 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER iSection III.

The effect of the monsoon of 1919 on rice and sugarcane was as follows :—

The total area under rice was 81,548,000 acres against close on 76 million
acres in 1918, and the outturn 35,746,000 tons against nearly 24 million tons in
1918. The yield per acre was 982 lbs. as compared with 703 lbs. in 1918 and 1,010
lbs. in 1917. The area under sugarcane was 2,667,000 acres, slightly less than in
1918, but the outturn w'as 3,001,000 tons against 2\ million tons in 1918. The
yield per acre was 2,521 lbs. as compared with 1,856 lbs. in 1918, and 2,587 lbs.
in 1917.

Owing to the marked preference shown by the mus rattus over certain parts
of the country for juar and bajri the harvest of these crops is probably of import¬
ance in plague incidence. The following details regarding the 1918-19 crops are
therefore of interest.

In the Bombay Presidency, there was a general reduction of area, failure of


growth and scanty outturn owing to the deficiency in the monsoon of 1918 and the
epidemic of influenza. The total area under juar w7as 7,665,678 acres, and under
bajri 3,294 000 acres. The outturn was 1,083,555 tons and 256,5591003, respec¬
tively. In Madras Presidency the shortage and irregularity of the monsoon rains
in 1918 seriously affected the area under cultivation. The areas under juar and
bajri were 5,069,40s and 3,029,636 acres, respectively. The outturn was estimated
at 1,342,190 and 700,570 tons, respectively.

In the United Provinces, sowings were largely restricted to irrigated lands.


The areas under juar and bajri were 1,852,273 and 2,986,512 acres and the outturn
398,000 and 293,000 tons, respectively.

In the Central Provinces, bajri is a crop of minor importance, only 126,151


acres being under cultivation in 1918-19. The juar crop suffered severely, and the
outturn from an acreage of 4,651,702 only reached 654,245 tons.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

65. Births.—The births numbered 7,212,415,less by 1,218,145 than the number


recorded in 1918. The heavy mortality among adults, especially females, caused
by the influenza epidemic, is naturally followed by a decrease in the births. In
Punjab alone was a slight increase shown over the previous year, but the number of •
births registered is markedly below7 the quinquennial mean. The birth rate fell to
30‘24 from 35*35 *9*8, and 37^85 the quinquennial mean.

It will be remembered that in England before registration of births and deaths


became compulsory, the registration of births was defective ; the defect being
estimated at about 5 per cent. Registration over the greater part of India is
voluntary, and birth registration is undoudtedly in default, although it is impossible
to estimate the proportion of unregistered births. Unfortunately, it is often in
municipal towns, to w'hich a compulsory Act applies, that birth registration is
markedly at fault. Powers given under the Act are not enforced ; that is, applica¬
tion is faulty not the Act itself.

The number of males born to every ioo fema’es varied from 126 in North-West
Frontier Province to 104 in Upper Burma. There is every reason to suspect that
the registration of female births is more defective than that ol male births.
General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1579. 57
*1

It is very probable that only a small proportion of deaths escape registration, but
medical certification of the cause of death is, except in the lar£e cities, practically
unknown. Even in Bombay city only 9*74 per cent of the deaths are medically
certified.

Deaths.—The deaths numbered 8,554,178 or 1,341,763 in excess of the births.


The total is naturally much below the figure recorded in 1918, but is higher than
the average of 5 years (excluding 1918). The deaths exceeded the births in every
province with the exception of Delhi, Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, and
Ajmer Merwara.

The death rate was 35*87 per milleof population as compared with 30-10, the
quinquennial mean (excluding 1918). The death rate in municipal towns (38*50)
was once more higher than the death rate in districts exclusive of towns (15 65).
Town dwelling will always be attended by greater risk to life and health until mu¬
nicipalities will, or can be persuaded by a central health authority to adopt a definite
standard of sanitation.

In Bengal, Bihar and Orissa and Assam the rural death rates exceeded the
urban.

58 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III*

Seasonal Mortality.— January was the month of maximum mortality : the


deaths recorded corresponded to an annual rate of 54*02 per mille. This high rate
was due to a continuation of the influenza epidemic of 1918. The mortality then
fell steadily till the minimum was reached in July. The sharp rise in November
and December was caused by the prevalence of fevers and respiratory diseases.

Age and Sex Mortality .—My to 15 years of age, and at all age periods above
30 the male mortality exceeded the female. Between the ages of 15 and 30, the
female death rate was in excess of the male, and was certainly associated with the
risks attending labour. The majority of women in labour are attended by untrained
hereditary dais. Much has been done towards training these women in various
parts of India ; perhaps the best example is the Central Board appointed in the
Punjab to lay down courses of training and to grant certificates after examination
to dais and midwives. A great amount of spade work in educating public opinion
will be necessary before it will be possible to apply generally an Act under which
no uncertified dai will be permitted to practise.

The percentages of deaths under 1 year of age to registered births are given in
the following table :—

In the next report it may be possible to indicate for the major part of India
the percentage of infants who die in the first month of life. The Sanitary Commis¬
sioner, Bengal, writes “ Investigation has shown, for example, that 70 per cent
of the infants who die do not live a month.: and of these two-thirds die within
a week of birth.” This is a very startling figure, but it cannot be rejected as an
exaggeration. In other parts of India, for instance, in the forest areas of Kanara,

Incomplete as the figures are. they suggest a great and, to some extent, pre¬
ventable loss of life in the first week and month of birth. A great number of these
deaths are due, especially in the first week, to antenatal causes, but a point requiring
further enquiry is the reputed death of infants from tetanus neonatorum. In
Calcutta, the deaths of 353 of the 1,844 infants who died during the first week were
attributed to this disease, while in the United Provinces it is held to be even more
prevalent. Thus the percentage of deaths from tetanus to total infantile mortality
in these provinces is 20*2 ; and in some towns and districts the percentage is over
50. These figures are probably overestimated, but it is clear that the prevalence
of tetanus neonatorum deserves very close investigation and attention. The dis¬
ease is undoubtedly due to the dirty, uncleanly habits of those attending the
mother and child at birth, and can easily be prevented.

Perhaps the most urgent immediate demands are,—

(a) facilities for training dais and midwives

(b) steady improvement in general sanitation. The latter is of great import¬


ance, fora healthy home with healthy environment will improve the
stamina of the mothers, which is so vital a factor in influencing the
fate ol the infant during the first month of life. It was attention to

general sanitation which made possible the reduction in infant mortality

INFANT AND CHILD WELFARE WORK IN INDIA.

(«) General.

66. In the United Provinces, co-operative dairies at Benares, Allahabad and


Lucknow continued their work. Progress is slow. The Government have retained
the services of an expert dairyman, whose advice will beat the disposal of municipal
boards desirous of establishing dairy farms. Six centres for the training of dais
were started in Lucknow, Benares, Cawnpore, Allahabad, Fyzabad and Bareilly.
Work has only started recently.

A scheme for the education and supervision of the indigenous dais, drawn up
by a special committee, is under the consideration of the Government of Bengal.

In the^Central Provinces, an effort is being made to secure the services of


midwives or female assistant or sub-assistant surgeons to work in co-operation with
and train the local dais.

In Burma, societies for promoting the welfare of mothers are working in


Rangoon, Mandalay, Moclmein, Bassein, Bilin and Sandoway.

In training dais, maternity homes or lying-in-wards are urgently required.

(b) Principal cities.

Calcutta.— Four maternity and child welfare centres are at work. Each
centre is under the charge of a lady health visitor, who is assisted by 4 midwives.
During the year the midwives delivered 2,177 infants, among whom there were no
deaths from tetanus neonotorum within 10 days of birth. Babies are kept under
observation up to the age of 3 months : insufficient staff prevents a longer period
of observation.

Bombay.—The 10 municipal nurses, who are all qualified midwives, attended


1,028 confinements. 58*5 per cent, of confinements, were attended by unskilled
women.

3 maternity homes with 50 beds in all are open : 1,207 women were admit¬
ted.

Two infant milk depots are attached to two of the maternity homes.

Two infant welfare centres were opened during the year.

Madras.— 2 new centres were opened during the year, making 3 in all.

21*3 per cent of the confinements were attended by municipal mid wives as
compared with n per cent, in 1918,

The training of midwives in health visiting has been commenced.

A milk depot for the supply of free milk to infants has been opened.

Manqcon1,180 women were looked after by the Society for the Promotion '
of Infant welfare, who employ 9 midwives.
General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 61

Delhi.—Two Babies Welcomes and Clinics have been opened, and two
European and 2 Indian lady health visitors are employed. The former gave advice
to 1,703 pregnant women and attended 562 confinements.

Two classes for dais are held. 49 dais are on the roll of one, and 20 on the
other.

Dacca.—One nurse health visitor has been appointed.

Raivalpindi.—one lady health visitor is under training preliminary to appoint¬


ment.
Multan.—A scheme for training dais has proved a failure and the centre has
had to be closed.

Amritsar.—One lady health visitor has been at work since 1918. Proposals
have been made for the employment of 2 more and the opening of welfare centres.

Mandalay.—The Infant Mortality Society employs 3 midwives who attended


316 confinements.

Interest in infant welfare is increasing, and the League for Maternity and Child
Welfare started by Her Excellency Lady Chelmsford will stimulate its growth.

Cholera.

68. 578,426 deaths were recorded, or 17*624 more than in 1918. The
disease was more prevalent than usual in all provinces, and the death rate in all
provinces was considerably in excess of the quinquennial mean.
62 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III*

The urban mortality was in excess of the rural in Bengal, Punjab, North-West
Frontier Province, Coorg, Bombay and Burma. With greater attention to the
quality of urban water supplies it is expected that cholera incidence in towns will
diminish.

The percentage of villages infected varied from 2*18 in the Punjab to 19*71 in
Madras.

Statistical details will be found in appendices to Section III J. and K.

Bengal—124,949 deaths were recorded against 82,379 in 1918, and 45,021 in


1917. Out of 116 municipalities, only one escaped visitation, and only 3 rural
circles. 13*3 per cent of villages were infected. The Sanitary Commissioner, Bengal
writes :—

“ The excessive cholera mortality shown in 1919, is largely the aftermath of


the epidemic conditions that commenced in the cold weather of 1918,
The October rainfall of 1918, on which the normal outturn of the win¬
ter crop depends, was much smaller than usual. The early cessation
of the rains which occurred * * * reduced the supply of water
available during the succeeding months. The deficient rainfall and the
short harvest also led to increased migration.”

The importance of migration in spreading cholera is evidenced by the associa¬


tion of the heavy incidence in certain places, notably Asansol and Noakhali with the
movements of cooly labourers. Polluted water at halting places is largely respon¬
sible for these outbreaks.

An interesting example of the influence of a pilgrimage in spreading cholera is


afforded by the outbreak among the pilgrims attending the Ganga Sagar Mela in
January.

Cholera was widely spread in the areas from which the pilgrims were drawn, and
their return was probably the cause of the enhanced mortality in these districts be¬
tween the nth and 25th January.

The Sanitary Commissioner details the results of a few investigations into the
origin of cholera epidemics. In the majority of cases, the cause was the use of
infected water. In one town, Bankura, the spread was by personal contact, and
possibly by flies.

Increasing use is being made of permanganate of potash and chloride of lime


for disinfecting wells and tanks. Dr. Bentley points out that organisation of the
work is necessary, and that as a rule little is done till the epidemic is widespread.

Some use was made of anti-cholera vaccine, apparently with satisfactory results
but no statistics are given. Dr. Bentley rightly emphasizes the fact that the use
of cholera vaccine can in no way replace improvement and safe-guarding of water
supplies and the introduction of proper methods for the disposal of excreta.

Bihar and Orissa*—104,727 deaths were recorded against 205,584 in 1918.


The death rate was 3 per mille, the same as the quinquennial mean.

42,217 of the deaths occurred in the Orissa division and the districts of Puri,
Angul and Cuttack^were severely infected.
General Population! WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 63

In Puri town cholera prevailed throughout the year. It is one of the most
important pilgrim centres in India, and is responsible for wide dissemination of
cholera infection. During the year 310 deaths from cholera were reported. The
ordinary vaccinating staff of the province was trained in the method of disinfecting
wells and tanks.

Cholera vaccine was used mainly for the coolies recruited by the Tea Districts
Labour Association : 134,606 were inoculated.

Assam—33,980 deaths were reported against 1,432 in 1918. The death rate
was 5*61, as compared with a decennial mean of 2'56. Tea garden emigrants were
responsible to some extent for the spread of infection The outbreak in Barpeta
circle in Kamrup district was investigated by the Civil Surgeon, who attributed the
import of infection to certain Mohammadan settlers, and the spread to the pollution
of surface wells.

In the tea estates the mortality was 7■ 73 against 1*82 in 1918. The increased
prevalence is attributed to the importation of an unusually large number of famine
stricken labourers.

United Provinces.—The deaths totalled 81,365, and the death rate was 174
against 1^27, the quinquennial mean.

A scheme for controlling cholera has now been in force for six years. The
scheme comprises the disinfection of water supplies with permanganate of potash
or bleaching powder. The main difficulty in connection with the scheme is to get
the village officers to take prompt action.

An epidemic of cholera broke out in Hardwar, an important pilgrim centre,


in April, and 123 deaths were reported. This epidemic is blamed for the introduc¬
tion of infection into the Punjab.

Punjab.—8,561 deaths were recorded against 257 in 1918. For some unex¬
plained reason cholera does not play such havoc in this province as in other parts of
India. The epidemic was most serious in Attock district, in which 2,022 deaths
were reported. It started in villages near the railway and infection was imported
from Kohat and Thai by villagers who fled from the disease in those places. Kohat
and Thai and also Peshawar were responsible for the introduction of infection into
Rawalpindi district, and the infection was spread through a fair held at Kalian Awan
and cattle market held at Rewat.

Hardwar, the pilgrim centre in the United Provinces, was responsible for the
introduction of information into most of the other plaes.

The lack of early intimation of the outbreak of the disease led to difficulty in
dealing with the epidemics.

North-West Frontier Province.—The deaths totalled 4,400 against 1,204 in


1918. 3,822 of the deaths occurred in Kohat and Peshawar districts.

The Civil Surgeon inoculated4,073 persons with cholera vaccine. Three of


these died. No control figures are available.

Central Provinces.—The deaths numbered 62,089 against 7,342 in 1918.


229DGIMS S
«4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Sectionlll.

The infection was apparently brought into the Jubbulpore district in March by
coolies from the Rewah State. By May practically the whole province was
infected.

The mortality from cholera was the heaviest recorded since 1500.

The Sanitary Commissioner of the province attributes the severity in 1919 to


the scanty rainfall of 1918 and the prevailing famine conditions.

The plague and vaccination staffs were employed in giving medical aid to the
sick.

Madras Presidency.—92,262 deaths were reported against 122,263 in 1918.


The death rate was 23 as compared with i'5, the quinquennial mean. In many
districts the epidemic was a continuation of that in 1918.

Eight cholera parties were at work during the year in 7 districts. Their work
comprises the disinfection of water supplies, the isolation of the sick, disinfection of
infected houses and clothes, treatment of the sick and education of the public.

Bombay Presidency.—The total of 51,551 deaths is the worst record the


Presidency has had in 20 years, with the exception of 1900 and 1912. Famine
conditions and the scarcity of drinking water were responsible for the increased
epidemicity.
*

In Bombay City, 8,420 deaths were recorded,and practically all in January and
February. Many centres of anti-cholera vaccination were opened.

Owing to the failure of the 1918 monsoon an endeavour was made to anticipate
the inevitable epidemic by instructing the Inspectors of Sanitation, Municipal
Secretaries, Revenue Subordinates and others in the methods of disinfecting water
supplies. No doubt some good was done, but an improvised staff, the members of
which have other duties to perform, cannot be expected to work wonders. A per¬
manent health organisation in each district is needed.

Burma. This province with 13,260 deaths experienced the most formidable
epidemic since 1915. Preventive work suffered from the lack of trained subordi¬
nates. A tentative scheme for a district organisation capable of expansion and
improvements as circumstances permit has been put forward.

Dysentery and Diarrhcea.

69. 291,643 deaths were recorded against 276,648 in 1918. The death rate was
i-22 as compared with ri i,the quinquennial mean. Particularly high death rates—
3*35 and 3'2l> respectively—were returned from Assam and the Central Provinces.

Taking India as a whole the urban death rate was 3^15 and the rural 1*05.

Small-pox.

70. 136,077 deaths were registered against 93,076 in 1918. The increased pre¬
valence was largely due to severe epidemic in Madras, Bengal and the Punjab.

Bengal.—37,010 deaths were recorded against 8,576 in 1918. The death rate
was *8 per mille. Over one half the deaths, 120,318, occurred in the Rajshahi divi-
l sion.
.General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 65

Except in the Presidency division, in which 21 per cent of the deaths were in
children under 10, the mortality was chiefly among adults. The high percentage
of child mortality in the Presidency division was due to the heavy incidence of
fatal small-pox among the children of Calcutta.

In the case of Dacca and Dinajpur towns the infection was taken from Calcutta
and spread first among the sweeper community and then to the other inhabitants.
Sweepers are notably averse to vaccination, and it is easy to understand how rapidly
they may spread the infection of small-pox.

Progress was made with the introduction of free vaccination.

Licensed vaccinators in some districts refused to work owing to difficulty in


realising their fees.

United Provinces.—Out of 10,943 deaths recorded 8,636 occurred among


children under 10.

3,820 of the deaths were in towns with a population of over 10,000.

Punjab.—15,365 deaths were returned against 3,032 in 1918. The death rate
was 0*79 per mille ; about two-thirds of the deaths were among children unde1: 10
years of age ; it is possible that many deaths especially among adults are returned
under other heads.

Lieutenant-Colonel Forster, the Sanitary Commissioner, has pointed out the


chief factors by which the incidence of small-pox may be lowered, and action on
some points has already been taken.

North-West Frontier Province.—Deaths numbered 1,204, and of these 990


occurred in children under to years of age. The epidemic was felt mostly in
Peshawar district, where 706 deaths occurred.

31adras.—The severe epidemic of 1918 was continued during 1919, and 41,732
deaths were recorded. 7,000 towns and villages were infected. The results of
vaccination in the province are very seriously defective, and this matter is engaging
the attention of the local authorities.

Bombay.— Of the 6,232 deaths recorded, 4,235 were in children under 10.

Enquiry into the vaccinal condition of 822 cases of small-pox was made. Of
these, 296 had been vaccinated and 6 died. The case mortality was 2*1 per cent.

Among the 532 unvaccinated there were 76 deaths. The case mortality among
unvaccinated was 14*3 per cent.

The average age of vaccinated persons who were attacked was 16, and of un¬
vaccinated 8. The average age of vaccinated persons in whom the disease was
fatal was 13, and of unvaccinated 6.

Plague.

7. India suffered very lightly from plague in 1919, only 74,284 deaths being
recorded. How far this is due to unfavourable weather conditions time alone will show,
but it would be very unsafe to conjecture that when weather conditions are favourable
plague will not become severely epidemic again. The time to organise plague
66 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

measures is during periods of low epidemicity. The measure for eradicating human
plague is improved housing conditions, but, this ideal cannot be reached for years.
Pending the realisation of this ideal the incidence of plague will undoubtedly be
influenced by : —

(a) attention to the storing and movements of grain,

(b) continuous rat destruction especially in towns and villages likely to carry
over infection.

Both these measures aim at the root cause of bubonic plague, the incidence of
rat plague. An experiment in erecting grain godowns is being carried out in
Lucknow, and several municipalities have applied for plans of rat free godowns
drawn up to th^ specifications of Major Norman White. But interest is spasmodic
and localised. It is difficult to see how real advance is to be made unless the con¬
ditions under which grain may be stored and transported are laid down by legisla¬
tion. A publicity campaign with a view to educating public opinion up to demand¬
ing this legislation should be consistently carried out. Public opinion will demand
it when it is sufficiently understood that thereby plague incidence will be materially
reduced and that the gain owing to the prevention of depradation by rats will cover
the cost of the necessary measure.

Rat destruction is only a temporary expedient, but it is important that so long,


as it is necessary it should be carried out efficiently and sufficiently. There is reason
to believe that if rats equal in number to one and a half times the human population
are destroyed every year the incidence of plague in that place will be materially
influenced. Dr. Chitre, who for some years has been working on methods of rat
destruction, has drawn up a note on the most efficient methods of poisoning and
ba iting and this note has been widely distributed and is in great demand.

The following table shows the number of rats caught in various towns in com¬
parison with the human population : —

The above table does not represent the total rat destruction in the towns of
India, but it shows that in very few towns is an adequate number of rats destroyed
and this leads to criticism of the efficacy of the measure.

Inoculation is valuable in saving life and in preventing the infection of men, but
it should be remembered that it can have no influence on rat plague. It is no¬
where popular, but is perhaps gaining popularity in some of the towns.

The number of inoculations performed is given in the following table : —

The number of inoculations in each year is naturally influenced by the prevalence


of plague.

Punjab.—The deaths numbered 12,683. The mortality was lower in both 1916
and 1917.

The case mortality was 71*2 per cent, the lowest yet recorded.

During the last 3 months of the year severe epidemics occurred in the cities of
Rawalpindi and Multan, and acted as centres for the spread of infection.

The staff on plague duty during the first part of the year contained no medical
officers, and 41 supervisors most of whom were qualified sanitary inspectors were
employed. In August 20 assistant surgeons were recruited. In addition to plague
work the staff did much useful work in treatment of cholera, malaria, influenza and
small-pox patients.

229DGIMS T
68 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

Central Provinces.—9,219 deaths were reported. During the last half of the
year the towns especially those in Nagpur district, and Jubbulpore city and Bala-
ghat town suffered severely.

The efficacy of the rat campaign in Nagpur city has received criticism, but
only 41,004 rats were destroyed. When the number exceeds 200,000 annually it
will be time to talk about the value of this measure.

13 Travelling and Epidemic Dispensaries were employed. Sanction has been


given to increase the number to 27.

Madras.—5,645 deaths were reported from 364 towns and villages.

United Provinces.—The deaths totalled 17,240. Out of the 26,461 inocula¬


tions 17,760 were done by the staffs of the travelling dispensaries. Four inoculat¬
ed persons are said to have died of plague.

ixo Travelling Dispensaries worked throughout the year, out of which 63 were
provincial and 47 district board.

Bombay.—The number of deaths recorded, 9,626, is the lowest for 10 years,


but was nearly approached in 1911 with 10,399 deaths.

The main force of the epidemic was felt in Dharwar, West Khandesh and Satara
districts. In view of the extensive epidemics year after year in Satara district the
continued immunity of Satara city is remarkable. In this city a thoroughly organ¬
ised rat campaign has now been conducted for many years. It was by this cam¬
paign that the relative efficiency of the “ Wonder ” rat trap over the Rawalpindi
pattern was first demonstrated.

Burma.—The deaths numbered 4,397. The mortality was chiefly felt in the
first quarter of the year.

Fevers.

72. 5,468,181 deaths were registered against 11,134,441 in 1918 and 4,555,221
in 1917. The fall in comparison with 1918 is due to the diminished incidence of
influenza.

The death rate was 22*93 Per m^e as compared with a quinquennial mean of
23*36. The mean is raised by the exceptional figure of 1918.

Influenza.—To what extent the population suffered from influenza in 1919 is


difficult to say. In Bengal the disease was widely prevalent during the first half of
the year, but less so in the second half. The Sanitary Commissioner (Dr. Bentley)
considers that some 200,000 people died. The incidence in the different districts
was far from uniform, Burdwanand Birbhum districts were more severely infected.

In Calcutta, 3,363 deaths or 3*7 per mille were recorded. The Health Officer
reports that prodably many cases were registered under fevers and respiratory
diseases. The 1918 epidemic appeared to subside by May. In July there was a
sudden recrudescence and the maximum was reached in November. Among males
the highest death rates were at all age periods over 40, while among female the
General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 69

highest rate was at the age period 20-30. The organisation for medical relief was
very complete and covered the whole city. There were ioo relief centres and 50
medical inspectors. Volunteer workers assisted.

In Bihar and Orissa, the 1918 epidemic continued until March. There was a
recrudescence in September. 10,765 deaths were registered, but this is an under¬
estimate. The Orissa division seems to have suffered most severely. In Sep¬
tember a severe outbreak occurred in the Bhagalpur central jail, this epidemic was
investigated by Major Morison and Captain Malone, whose report will be published
separately. Vaccine was largely used.

In Assam the 1918 epidemic was active during the first part of the year. Sub¬
sequently there were local recrudescences of low infectivity and diminished viru¬
lence. The Sanitary Commissioner of the province gives a probable estimate of
43,972 deaths during the first quarter.

In the United Provinces, the epidemic consisted of isolated outbreaks of a mild


type. Between August and December only 31 deaths were reported from the large
towns, vi2., 10 in Benares, 9 in Allahabad, 5 in Naini Tal, 3 in Cawnpore, and
2 each in Lucknow and Dehra Dun.

The epidemic of 1918 continued during the first part of the year. A rough
estimate of the influenza mortality as represented by the excess in the deaths during
1919 over the mean comes to 411,750. This figure must be accepted with
caution. There appears to have been a severe outbreak in Almora district in
September : this is of interest owing to the fact that this district suffered lightly in
1918.

In the Punjab, influenza did not assume serious proportions, but the mortality
from fevers and respiratory diseases was in excess of the mean prior to 1918.

Influenza broke out in November in Kulu, with no mortality. An outbreak


occurred in the Labour Corps in Lahore cantonment in October. 267 deaths were
reported. The civil station and city of Lahore were uninfected. There was a local
outbreak in 4 villages in Muzaffargarh district causing 199 cases with 70 deaths. It
is reported that most of the victims had suffered in 1918.

In the North- West Frontier Province there was no serious recrudescence : 142
deaths were reported and 98 of these were in Kohat.

In the Central Provinces, the epidemic of 1918 continued up to March, when


there was a respite for 5 months. Localised outbreaks of a mild type commenced
in August, but showed no tendency to spread.

In Madras city, the third epidemic started in July, reached its maximum in
August, and practically subsided by the end of September. 1,303 deaths from
influenza were registered.

In the Bombay Presidency, there were several isolated outbreaks of a mild type.
Two outbreaks were fairly serious, one in a village of Nasik district in which the
epidemic broke out in August and caused 185 cases with 57 deaths, and one in the
Naspada Lunatic Asylum with 52 cases and 7 deaths.
70 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

In Karachi city there were 984 deaths in the year. It is interesting to note
that an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica broke out in November in Karachi.
Captains Maitra and Malone investigated the outbreak, but could throw no light
on the etiology. No evidence of contagiousness was found.

A small epidemic of the same disease consisting of 12 cases with 5 deaths was
reported in December from Amritsar. A close investigation was made and no
connection with the Karachi outbreak was traceable. No association with influ«
enza was discovered and no evidence of contagiousness could be found. It was
found impossible to reproduce the disease in rabbits and guinae pigs.

In Bombay city 1,942 deaths from influenza were reported. The disease was
prevalent throughout the year, and epedemic especially during May and June,
when 904 deaths occurred. There was a tendency to increased prevalence during
November and December.

In Delhi city only a few mild cases occurred during the 3rd quarter of the year..

In Burma the epidemic of 1918 constitued during the first quarter, and there
was a recrudescence without attaining serious proportions between June and
August.

An epidemic broke out among the Turkish Prisoners in Meiktila in November,


The camp was divided into 3 sections separated only by barbed wire. Only i
section was infected. In this section there were 2,300 prisoners the cases number
501 and the deaths 32.

In Rangoon influenza was epidemic throughout the year and caused 3,336
deaths. The mortality was highest in July, but nearly equally severe in January,
.February and March.

The laboratories in India prepared large quantities of influenza vaccine in case


of demand. In all parts of India preparations were made to deal with sick on a
large scale but fortunately the arrangements were not tested fully.

Malaria.—There is no method by which the deaths from malaria can be


accurately ascertained ; it is usual to assume that 25 per cent of the deaths from
fevers are attributable to malaria and there is some statistical evidence for this
estimate. On this basis over one and one quarter million people would have died
from malaria in 1919. This figure is however vitiated by the unknown mortality
from influenza, and the majority of the deaths from this disease are included under
“ fevers ”a The amount of sickness from malaria which the mortality figures
represent, is impossible to estimate, but it is known that about 6 millions, a very
small percentage of the actually sick annually attend the hospitals and dispensaries
in British India for treatment for malaria. Owing to the world shortage of quinine
and the consequent high price there is not sufficient quinine available to treat or to
supply quinine to all w?ho are in need of it. This question is under the close consi¬
deration of the Government of India and it is hoped that in the near future the
situation may be relieved by extended cinchona cultivation.

Bengal.—The fever mortality was 1,229,257, a figure slightly below that in


1918, but 346,489 in excess of that in 1917. The excess is largely attributable to
influenza.
General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. yj

The four anti-malarial projects for Meenglas, Singaram-Topose, Jangip, and


Banka valley, respectively, came into operation during the autumn of 1919. The
results are inconclusive but promising. More definite results are expected in 1920.

Constructive work was commenced during the year on two new schemes with
the object of resuscitating the Nawi-Sunthi and Jabuna Rivers which at present
are prolific breeding grounds for anopheles. The neighbouring bills are being
connected with the river by channels provided with sluices and regulators.

The special malaria department surveyed 276 villages, 24 municipal towns, 4


collieries and 1 tea garden.

9,006 lbs. of quinine were sold by the post offices in the form of “ treatments ”,
and in addition 1,190 lbs. in tablet form were issued by the Government of Bengal
for free distribution among the poor.

Bihar and Orissa.—The death rate from fevers was 28*1 as compared with
24*4 the quinquennial mean. The increase is attributed to influenza.

The anti-malarial operations in Kahhar and Kishanganj were continued during


the year but the lack of a trained supervising officer hampered the operations.
736 lbs. of quinine were sold during the year ; the fall in the sales is considered to
be due to the enhanced price of quinine.

Assam.—The fever death rate was 25*52 per mille as compared with 15*92 the
decennial mean. The increase during the first four months of the year was due
to influenza but it is generally held that the excess during the remaining portion of
the year was caused by malaria. The deficient rainfall caused puddles back waters
and eddies where running water should have existed and thus multiplied the breed¬
ing grounds for anopheles mosquitoes. The anti-malarial measures at Parighat
are incomplete but promising. At Lumding the anti-malarial operations are under
the control of the Assam-Bengal Railway and are expected to have material results
in the near future.

United Frovinces.—The death rate, 33*66, has only twice been exceeded in
past 39 years ; in 1908 and 1918. Very little progress was made with anti-malarial
operations owing to difficulties in connection with personnel.

2,520 three-rupee packets and 371 five-rupee packets representing 218 lbs. of
quinine were sold ; 300 lbs. of quinine were issued to the travelling dispensaries and
171 lbs. of residual alkaloids to the jas for prophylactic purposes. The police
department received 146 lbs. of residual alkaloids and 4 lbs. of quinine. 325 lbs. of
these alkaloids were also distributed freely among the rural population. 230 lbs. of
quinine were distributed freely by the village headmen in the Naini Tal district.

Funjab.—1919 was not a malaria year in the Punjab. The total mortality from
fevers was 365,045 as compared with 350,000 the average of the previous 50 years.
The death rate was 18*8 per mille.

Central Frovinces.—The death rate from fevers was 21*90. Anti-malarial


operations were hampered by lack of funds. In the Nagpur civil station a nulla
is being paved and drained and other nullas in the municipal area are being improved.
Measures are being taken at E^achmarhiand consideration is being given to improving
a nulla and to training the margins of the Iak.

72 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III-

Rs. 31,382 were realised by the sale of quinine by licensed and other vendors.
In 1915 the sum was Rs. 14,247. Tablets of quinine are manufactured and issued
by the central jail, Nagpur. Owing to the lack of quinine the factory was closed
fora portion of April and May. 1,73s lbs. of quinine were prepared in tablet form
or powders of 10 grains each. The high price of quinine militated against its
general use.

Madras.—The lack of trained workers hampered anti-malarial operations, and


it was only in Madras city, Ennore and in the Chingleput district that operations
were undertaken on a large scale with satisfactory results. Itinerating dispen¬
saries were at work in the Nellore and Kunrcol districts.

Bombay.—The number of deaths from fevers recorded was 274,759. This


figure is slightly above the decennial average but was exceeded in 1912 and 1917.

2,827 lbs. of quinine were sold and distributed free through District Local
Boards, Municipalities and Port Officers. 14,56,300 quinine pills were distributed
free in Kanara and Sind through the agency of village officers and schoolmasters.

Burma.—There is no evidence that malaria was especially prevalent in 1919.


The fever mortality exceeded the average of 10 years by 39,801 deaths but this
increase is readily accounted for by influenza.

Tablets of cinchona febrifuge were manufactured at the Rangoon central jail


and 2,986 lbs. utilised for this purpose.

Calcutta City.—Malaria deaths numbered 1,187 or r3 Per rnille. It was most


prevalent in the last quarter of the year and in the suburbs of the city 24 gangs,
each consisting of a sub-inspector and 3 coolies, worked during the year.

Bombay City.—From malaria 262 deaths were recorded and from ague and
remittant fever 5,071 deaths. Both figures are in excess and over the average,
/

Justover 6 lbs. of quinine were distributed free from house to house in tablet
form and about 100 lbs. to the dispensaries and infectious diseases hospital. Work
in filling in wells streams, ponds, quarry holes and low-lying land continued.

Madras City.—Anti-malarial work consisted in cleaning tanks and ponds,


petrolising wrater in pits, cesspools and ponds, clearing rank vegitation and the
introduction of fish into wells. The surface drainage of the swampy tract in
Purasawakkam and Perambur wTas completed as was the reclamation of the moat
within the Central Salt Depot ; 34 Smaller reclamation works were undertaken.

Bjangoon.—261 deaths were recorded against 392 in 1918. The death rate
was ‘89 per mille.

18J acres of land were reclaimed.

Belapsing Fever.—The information is very incomplete but a certain amount is


available from the United Provinces; Punjab and Central Provinces. During the
first half of the year it was prevalent in Meerut, Bijnor and Garhwal districts of
the United Provinces and during the 2nd half of the year in the Bulandshahr and
Naini Taldistricts. Sporadic cases were reported from 7 other districts.
General Population]" WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 73

In the Punjab an epidemic broke out in the Karnal district in March. 1,232
cases and 359 deaths were reported. The disease was also reported from Robtak,
Ambalaand Simla districts. Evidence is available that the infection was carried to
the Simla district by a mochi from Karnal. Some epidemics were at first mis¬
taken by the village officials for influenza.

In the Central Provinces relapsing fever broke out in Seoni district in Decem¬
ber and was at first mistaken for influenza and malaria. A few cases also occurred
in Nagpur.

Difficulty in controlling this disease is experienced from the lack of property


equipped disinfecting stations.

Bombay city, 152 deaths were recorded against 9 in 1918. A virulent type
of the disease prevailed in September among cobblers and shoe-makers who live
and work in overcroweded rooms.

Typhus fever.—Two suspected cases were admitted into hospital at Naini Tal,
There have been epidemics of typhus fever in the past and one epidemic in a
military unit stationed in the Punjab was investigated during the war. There is no
evidence as yet of its prevalence among the civil population, but in view of what
has happened in Poland and elsewhere, the possibility of the introduction of infec¬
tion must be regarded with close concern.

Enteric fever.—Information as to the prevalence of this disease outside the


main cities is naturally very meagre. In the Punjab 35 cases were notified from
Simla. The cases were scattered and no common factor in causation was dis¬
covered. 2,9 cases occurred during March, April and May in the Criminal Tribes
Settlement in Gurdaspur district.

In Assam enteric fever is said to be endemic in the Khasi Hills. In August


and September 33 cases (25 among Indians) were reported in Shillong. The infec¬
tive agent was suspected to be milk supplied from a village just outside the muni¬
cipal boundary.

In the Bombay Presidency 2,749 deaths were recorded. High death rates were
returned from Shikarpur in Sind, Poona city, Gokak and Hubli.

Bombay City.—131 deaths were registered, being 13 less than the average*

Calcutta.—400 deaths were registered, equivalent to a death rate of 0*44 per


mille. In 1917 the deaths numbered 209.

Madras.—52 deaths were registered against 45 in 1918. The death rate was
*1 per mille.

Rangoon.—15 deaths were recorded against 23 in 1918. Only 4 were notified


by private medical practitioners.

Measles.—In subsequent years it is expected that more information about this


disease will be available. It accounts for considerable mortality in some parts of
India. In the Bombay Presidency 6,279 deaths were registered. The urban and
rural death rates were i*oi and 0-19, respectively. 12 towns returned rates of over
.2 per mille.

In the Central Provinces, 3,759 deaths were recorded but deaths from chicken-
pox are included this total.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.
74

In the United Provinces 22,820 deaths were recorded, more than double the
figure for 1918.

Calcutta.—The number of deaths was 122 or 0*13 per mille. The epidemic
lasted from February to May. Over 75 per cent of the mortality
was in children under 5 years of age. Females suffered more
severely than males and Hindus than Mohamedans.

Bombay.—§61 deaths were recorded against 486 in 1918 and a decennial


average of 273. The mortality was highest in March, April and
May.

Madras.— Measles accounted for 108 deaths, equivalent to o’2 per mille of
population. This is slightly below the average.

Kala-azar.— In Bengal a special enquiry was conducted in Mymensingh and


Dacca districts with a view to testing the belief that this disease is more common
than is generally supposed. The enquiry has revealed a high percentage of infected
villages and will be extended to other districts in Eastern-Bengal. In Assam
1,667 deaths were recorded as compared with 2,003 in 1918. The campaign
against this disease is being energetically pushed and consists in segregation of
the sick with treatment and removal of the village from an infected site.

The whole question of the eradication of kala-azar is receiving close attention:


it is expected that a Commission to conduct an organised research will be appoint¬
ed when the existing shortage in personnel has been overcome. Useful research
under the Indian Research Fund Association is now being conducted.

Bombay City.—Only 4 deaths were registered including one in a War hospital.


Kala-azar is unknown elsewhere in the Presidency.

Madras City.—41 deaths were registered against 19 and 23 in 1918 and 1917,
respectively.

RESPIRATORY DISEASES.

73. 350,133 deaths were returned under this head against 430,933 in 1918. The
death rate was 1*47. An attempt will be made in subsequent years to subdivide
this head but until registration is very greatly improved the figures can be only
approximate. These diseases are of increasing importance in towns owing to the
development of the dust and smoke nuisances. In 1919 a portion of the mortality
was undoubtedly associated with influenza.

Bengal.—The deaths numbered 22,117 and were mainly in towns. The urban
death rate was 5'8 per mille and the rural 0*1 per mille. The low mortality in
rural areas may possibly be associated with ignorance on the part of the reporting
agencies. Apart from Calcutta 3 towns returned very high death rates, viz.9
Maniktala 11*5; Howrah 11*3 ; and Jalpaiguri 9*3. In the last town the morta¬
lity from respiratory diseases represented 31 per cent of the total deaths.

United Provinces.—-The deaths numbered 25,768 as compared with 32,010 in


1918 and 28,926 in 1917. The urban death rate was 5*08 and the rural 0*2 per
mille. Six towns returned death rates of over 10 per mille, viz., Roth 18*98,
Kanel, 18*51 Mahoba 17*70, Lucknow 13*60, Kalpi 12*96 and Cawnpore 10*39,

Bunjab.-—37,813 deaths were recorded, the urban death rate was 5*32 and the
General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR I919. 75

rural 1*62. Both figures show a decrease from those recorded in 1918 and the
quinquennial means.

Central Provinces-—The deaths totalled 41,630. The figures for 1917 and
1918, respectively, were higher. The urban death rate was 5*07 and the rural
2*78 per mille.

Madras.—The deaths numbered 48,984 and the death rate was 1*2 per mille.
The death rate in 145 rural towns was i*o and in urban towns 3*7 per mille. Only
10,926 out of 42,052 towns and villages returned deaths under this head.

Bombay.—98,633 deaths were recorded, a figure greatly in excess of that for


any year since 1908, with the exception of 1918. The death rate for urban areas
was 14*02 and the rural 3*29. Death rates of over 10 were recorded in ten towns
and cantonments, yt«., Poona city (22*4), Ahmedabad (19*74), Kaira (19*6),
Broach (15*87) Kirkee cantonment (15*29), Jambusar (13*57)? Ahmednagar
cantonment (13*03), Surat (12*23), Matiari (irio) and Sibwan (10*10). Of the
total deaths from respiratory diseases 23,369 were attributed to pneumonia. It is
very probable that the rise in the deaths from respiratory diseases was associated
with influenza.

Calcutta.—The number of deaths was 8,236 or 9*2 per mille of population.


In 1918 the mortality was 6,914. The increase took place in the acute forms of
respiratory diseases, especially brancho-prtcumon’2. The incidence of these
diseases is specially heavy in suburban wards where many impoverished persons
live in damp huts. The death rate in Kidderpore wurd was 25*9 per mille, in this
ward influenza was prevalent. The death rate among females was u'7 and
among males 7*9.

Bombay City.— 24,055 deaths were registered as compared with an average


of 1 2,081. Over 30 per cent of the deaths during the year were registered under
this heading.

Madras City.—3,839 deaths were registered equivalent to a death rate of 7*4


per mille against io*6 in 1918 and a mean of 6*7.

Rangoon.—1.932 deaths were registered. The death rate was 6*59 per mille
against a mean of 5*23.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis.—Information regarding the prevalence of this


disease outside the great cities is very meagre. In the Central Provinces
1,439 patients were treated in the hospitals and dispensaries. A sanitorium
established by a missionary society in Pendra is doing useful work.

In the Bombay Presidency 18,207 deaths were recorded equivalent to a death


rate of 0*9 per mille. In 1918 the deaths numbered 12,907. The urban death
rate in 1919 vras 2*42 and the rural *64. The infection of the districts serving as a
recruiting centre for the Bombay labour market has been noted now for some
years.

In Burma, Rangoon recorded 816, Bassein 79 and Mandalay 178 deaths.

Calcutta.—1,826 deaths were recorded or 2*1 per mille. 42 cases of abdomi¬


nal tuberculosis and 21 of other organs were registered in addition.

229DGIMS X
76 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

During the year pulmonary tuberculosis was widely distributed over the city.
The death rate among females was 3*2 and for males r6 per mille. Taking young
adult 4 females died to every male.

Bombay City.—2,780 deaths were recorded including 231 deaths in war


hospitals. There has been a marked increase year by year since 1915 but this
not be taken necessarily to mean an increased prevalence Improved methods of
diagnosis may have had some influence. The death rate was 2*83 against a mean
of 2*06. The provision of a hospital of 25 or more beds for these cases has been
sanctioned. The King George V Anti-Tuberculosis League carried on work in
close co-operation with the health department. Two dispensaries have been
working and treated during the year 1,350 patients. 57 patients were admitted
to the Sanitorium at Parel.

Madras City,—Pulmonary tuberculosis is not differentiated from tuberculosis


generally. There were registered 1,309 deaths from tuberculosis or 179 less than
1918. The death rate was 2*5 per mille.

Rangoon.—816 deaths were registered as due to pulmonary tuberculosis and


105 from other forms of tuberculosis. The death rate was 3*14.

ANKYLOSTOMIASIS.

74. As the investigation into the incidence of this disease in Bengal revealed a
widespread prevalence, three officers with staffs were appointed during the year.
It has been found that among boot wearers and in areas well provided with latrines
the percentage of infected persons is comparatively low. Centres for diagnosis
and treatment have been established, and efforts to introduce simple sanitary
conveniences are being made.

In the United Provinces an enquiry into its prevalence has revealed that the
disease is widespread. Arrangem ents for treatment are being made.

In the Central Provinces an examination of the prisoners has revealed a high


incidence of infection and the treatment of infected prisoners is carried out as a
routine measure.
*

In Burma by an examination of the prisoners in 14 jails it has been found that


the most infected districts appear to be Akvab, Meiktila, Southern Shan States,
Myingyan, Mandalay, Pakokku, Bassien, Henzada and Sagaing..

The cases in jails treated with chenopodium oil yielded on an average 21 worms
apiece, against an average of 17 for treatment with thymol.

An inquiry into the treatment of ankylostomiasis is being conducted by the


Indian Research Fund Association.

BERI-BERI.

75. This disease presents a serious problem in Burma. During the year several
cases, proving one fatal, were reported among under-trial prisoners in the lock-up
at Mawlink. In permanent lodging camps and among villages in the Kalan valley
and among well-to-do Government servants in several parts of the district cases
occurred. The worst outbreaks are said to occur after the rains in the cold
weather
■General Population.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR I9I9. 77
In Akyab town 24 deaths were reported : In Tavoy town 168 cases were
treated In the hospital and the cases were chiefly among Hidus employed in the
mines. In Mergui district the disease is common among Hindus employed in the
tin mines rubber estates and fishing camps.

In Rangoon 113 deaths were reported.

The whole question of food deficiency diseases has been the subject of an
enquiry conducted under the auspices of the Indian Research Fund Associa¬
tion.

CUTANEOUS ANTHRAX.

76. Four isolated fatal cases from cutaneous anthrax due to the use cf infected
shaving brushes were reported during the year. It is suspected that the brushes
were of Japanese manufature. A memorandum was published on methods of
disinfecting shaving brushes and samples of cheap brushes purchased in the open
market were examined at the Bombay Bacteriological Laboratory. Steps to
prevent the importation of infected brushes have been taken. An enquiry
into the prevalence of cutaneous anthrax among wool workers revealed the fact
that this disease is apparently rare. The explanation appears to lie in the absence
or rarity of anthrax among sheep in the districts from which wool is imported.
From the reports of Veterinary officers it appears that in British India anthrax
among sheep is limited to Baluchistan, Upper Sind and parts of Assam. Bovine
anthrax on the contrary is fairly common all over.India, but there is little evidence
of cutaneous anthrax among those working on or dealing in hides.

LEPROSY.

77. The exact prevalence of leprosy is difficult to ascertain. Theoretically it


should increase owing to the attendance of lepers at the main pilgrim centres and
their aggregation in the large cities for begging.

Suggestions for the amendation of the Lepers Act to permit the isolation of all
mendicant lepers in all stages of the disease have been made. The case of lepers
is mainly in the hands of the Mission to Lepers and the previous provincial Gov¬
ernments give grants-in-aid of their maintenance.

DEATHS FROM SNAKE-BITE AND WILD ANIMALS.

wild animals. The details for different provinces are given in the following table

78 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

The majority of these deaths were due to snake bite. In the Punjab 736
deaths were caused by snakes and 66 by wild animals, in Bombay Presidency 1,191
by snakes and 52 by wild animals.

RABIES.

79. 1,833 deaths from rabies were reported. In Bengal there were 179 deaths
against 119 in 1918 and 71 in 1917. In Bihar and Orissa the deaths numbered
523. A Pasteur Institute mere conveniently situated for these two provinces
than is Shillong, seems indicated.

In the United Provinces there were 301 deaths against 227 in 1918. The
Punjab reported 142 deaths : 1,810 persons, all Indians, were sent to Kasauli for
treatment, 8 died with 6 failures. In the North-West Frontier Province there
were 5 deaths. 180 persons died in the Central Provinces and 419 were sent to
Kasauli for treatment, 10 of these died.

Madras Presidency recorded 62 deaths against 74 in 1918 : Bombay Presi¬


dency 261 against 238 in 1918 and Burma 180 deaths.

SANITARY ARRANGEMENTS AT FAIRS AND FESTIVALS.

80. In Bengal most of the fairs and festivals passed of without incident but, with
cholera widely prevalent in the province it was natural that some cases should have
occurred among pilgrims. The outbreak of cholera during the Ganga Sugar Mela
has already been noticed. At Tarkeswar in the Hoogly district during the
Shivagajan Mela in April there urere 14 attacks of cholera with 11 deaths among
25,000 pilgrims. One death from cholera was roported at the Mahanomi festival
held at Chittagong in April among 7,000 pilgrims.

In Assam the only pilgrimage of importance is the Sidheswari Mela in the


district of Cachar. Arrangements for the provision of temporary sanitary conven¬
iences were made and no case of epidemic disease was reported.

In Bihar and Orissa very much more requires to be done to make the sanitary
control of the important pilgrim centres of Puri, Gaya and Deoghar really effective.
The difficulty is financial.

In the United Provinces the sanitary arrangements at the Maghmela and the
Maha Barni fair at Allahabad, the Maha Barni and the Dlikhauti fairs at Hardwar,
the Ram Nomi and the Sawan Jhula fairs at Ajodhya, the Tigri fair in the Moradabad
district, the Garhmuktesur fair in the Meerut district, the Dadari fair in the Ballia
district and the Sbahkumbar fair in the Saharanpur district were under the personal
supervision of Deputy Sanitary Commissioners. At the Allahabad fairs 4
imported cases of cholera were reported. The Dekhauti fair at Hardwar was
responsible for the importation of cholera into the Punjab. During the fair 35
cases were discovered. 19 cases of cholera with 10 deaths were found among the
pilgrims at Sawan Jhula fair at Ajodhya.

In the Central Provinces the* Siharpethi fair in Balaghat district and the Singaji
fair in the Nimar district were not held owing to the scarcity of water and the
pievalence of cholera. From the other fairs held during the year no epidemic
disease was reported.
General Population/] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR I919. 79

In the Bombay Presidency the sanitary arrangements at the important pilgrim


centres are under the supervision of Deputy Sanitary Commissioners. 4 villages
were infected with cholera by returning pilgrims. Cholera broke out among the
pilgrims attending one of the palkis en route to Pandharpur but an epidemic at
Pandharpur was averted.

UNSOUND AND ADULTERATED FOOD.

81. Action under the provincial Acts dealing with adulteration of food cannot have
a wide application until there has been an extension of public health laboratories.
A central laboratory has been established or the establishment is under consideration
in each province. A public analyst either has or will be appointed for each
province, but it is clear that until each local authority establishes or groups of local
authorities combine to form a public health laboratory with a public analyst, very
little can be done outside the immediate radius of action of each central laboratory.
The Bengal public health laboratory, the extension of which with the appointment
of a public analyst is now under consideration, was mainly concerned with the
analyses of water sewage effluents and disinfectants. 266 samples of foods and
20 samples of drugs were examined. The food samples were mostly of mustard oil.
The laboratory is used for the training of candidates for the Diploma in Public
Health.

In Bihar and Orissa the public health laboratory examined 5F3 samples of
food consisting mainly of flour, ghee and milk. A very high percentage of
adulteration was discovered. A large number of municipalities have expressed a
desire to have the provision of the food adulteration Act applied to their respective
jurisdictions.

The Public Health Laboratory in Assam was mainly concerned with the examin¬
ation of waters and calf vaccine lymphs. A few samples of mustard oil, ghee
and milk were examined. In Bengal it was discovered that mustard oil was occa¬
sionally adulterated with an oil containing prussic acid. The resulting prosecu¬
tions tended to drive this dangerous mustard oil into Assam and Bihar and Orissa
and the public health staffs in these provinces have been on the watch for it.

In the United Provinces the provisions of the adulteration Act were applied
to 16 municipal towns. 360 samples consisting mainly of milk and ghee were
analysed, and about 31 per cent were found to be adulterated. Ninety persons
were prosecuted under this act, and 71 convictions were obtained.

In the Bombay Presidency two laboratories have been established, one at


Poona and one at Karachi, which will develop into branch Public Health Labora¬
tories in connection with a Central Laboratory situated in the Bombay Bacterio¬
logical Laboratory. The establishment of a third Laboratory at Ahmedabad is
under consideration. At present these laboratories are occupied mainly in the
analysis of w'ater and sewage effluents.

Calcutta.—The special food inspector, appointed after the passage of the


Municipal Amendment Act, 1917, controlled 173 shops and godowns. 77 per
cent of the samples of ghee examined were found to be adulterated. The 8 ordi¬
nary food inspectors sent 3,551 samples of food stuffs for analysis. Ghee, milk
and mustard oil were found to be commonly adulterated. The adulteration of
mustard oil with pakra seed containing traces of hydrocyanic acid caused illness
among consumers. This serious emergency w'as successfully met by the measures

80 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section III.

Bombay City.—828 food samples were examined in the Municipal Laboratory :


of these 733 were of milk and 507 samples proved to be adulterated. Legal pro¬
ceedings were taken in 454 cases with convictions in 386 instances.

Madras City.—The construction of a laboratory for the examination of- foods


was begun towards the close of the year.

Rangoon.—During the year 50 samples were examined under the Ghee Act:
36 were found to be adulterated, 29 prosecutions were instituted, and 27 convictions
were obtained.

SCHOOL SANITATION.

82. In Bengal the Sanitary Commissioner of the Presidency advised the Educa¬
tion Department with regard to plans for school buildings, hostels and the sani¬
tary arrangements of schools. He also examined and advised on Hygiene text
books and designed posters and leaflets for use in schools. Proposals for the
appointment of a special officer with a staff under him to deal with this important
branch of public health have been made.

In Bihar and Orissa proposals for the medical inspection of schools have been
put forward.

In the Central Provinces the schools were inspected by the Assistant and Sub*
Assistant Surgeons in charge of the Dispensary towns and it is stated that the
conditions have been improved thereby, especially by the discovery of cases of
contagious diseases and of unvaccinated children.

In Burma 41 schools were inspected during the year.

The provision of school medical inspection throughout British India as a whole


has been delayed by the demands of the war on medical personnel.
%

SANITATION OF THE MAIN PORTS.

83. There are at present no port sanitary authorities but the matter is under consi¬
deration. The sanitation of the land area is under the control of the municipal
corporations each of which is empowered to take action under one or other of the
Municipal Acts.- The shipping and water are under the respective provincial Gov¬
ernments, who are empowered under the Indian Ports Act to draft regulations and
to appoint a Port Health Officer who, however, has no power over the land area and
his jurisdiction ends, with the ship’s side. The Port Commissioners or Trustees for
the main ports have certain limited sanitary powers under Port Trusts Acts, but
they actually carry out more than they can legally be expected to do. The whole
question of ports sanitation is under consideration and the future may see important
changes, especially in regard to the provision of facilities for carrying out the
regulations framed under the Indian Ports Act. A special committee sat in
February 1920 to consider the amendment of these regulations especially
those dealing with yellow fever; the recommendations of this committee will
be found detailed in a subsequent section of this report. In dealing with the
sanitation of the main ports, a few remarks will be made on the sanitary
condition of each city and the work of the Port Health Officer.
General Population ] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 8l

City of Calcutta.—The deaths numbered 37,839, equivalent to a death rate


of 42*2 per mille. With the exception of one year, this is the highest rate
ever recorded in Calcutta.
Cholera, small-pox and influenza were all prevalent in epidemic form and caused
3,688, 1,870 and 3,362 deaths, respectively.
Plague accounted for 334 cases and 334 deaths. Of the cases 297 were of the
bubonic type, 51 septic and 6 pneumonic. An outbreak of epidemic dropsy causing
96 deaths occurred during the last half of the year and reached its maximum in
December.
Port of Calcutta.—A sewerage scheme which has recently been sanctioned is
expected to improve the condition of the Kidderpore docks. A project for
dealing with the effluent from the Russa Distillery will also lessen fouling of the
water. The cases of sickness found on ships included small-ptfx, chicken pox,
measles, cholera, beri-beri and influenza. 7 vessels arrived with small-pox cases on
board and were dealt with. Two vessels arrived each with a case of chicken-pox.
One case of measles was found. Eight vessels arrived with cholera. There was
severe outbreak of cholera on one jetty among the passengers embarking for
Rangoon; it was satisfactorily dealt with. One case of beri-beri arrived in a
steamer from Rangoon. 1,093 vessels entered the port as compared with 882
in 1918. 1,086 vessels left during the year.
604 inward bound and 790 onward vessels were inspected and these carried in
all 97,487 crew and 66,523 passengers.
The Port Sanitary Inspector inspected 10,308 cargo boats. Municipal filtered
water was supplied to the shipping; 162 water-boats were inspected during the
year. 80 deaths from cholera and 5 from fevers occurred among the Asiatic popu¬
lation of the port. 39 sea-going vessels were fumigated with the Clayton apparatus
during the year.
City of Bombay.—The deaths numbered 68,610, equivalent to a death rate
of 7CVI4. Higher death rates have only been recorded in two previous years.
Cholera, small-pox and influenza were prevalent and caused 8,455, 1%° and 1,942
deaths, respectively. The zymotic diseases were responsible for 20,013 deaths and
respiratory diseases for 24,055.
Plague was less prevalent than usual and caused 702 deaths against a mean
of 2,556.
There was a change made in the public health administration during the year.
Under the Executive Health Officer there are now 2 Deputy Health Officers and 7
Assistant Health Officers, one for each of the wards of the city. An extra assis¬
tant is in charge of the Infectious Diseases hospital in which 2,196 patients were
treated during the year.
Port of Bombay.—1,348 vessels and 430,786 members of crews and passengers
were examined. Of the vessels examined 1,064 were outward bound and 158 were
inward bound. The clothing, bedding etc., belonging to 125,649 passengers and
crew personnel were disinfected.
Of the 158 incoming vessels infectious disease was found on board, or cases
had occurred during the voyage, in 50 vessels.
The 71 cases of sickness found on arrival included 11 of plague 2 of cholera.
19 of small-pox, 6 of measles, 26 of chicken-pox, 2 of jigger, and 6 of typhus.

6 cases of plague, 111 of cholera, 15 of small-pox, 5 of measels, and 6 of


chicken-pox occurred on vessels and sailing craft in the harbour and docks.

176 vessels were disinfected or fumigated. In the case of 61 vessels fumigation


was by means of the Clayton process. In addition the British India Steam
Navigation Company fumigated 21 steamers by their own apparatus.

9,218 pilgrims left Bombay for Jeddah in connection with the Mecca pilgrimage.
9,001 were vaccinated before departure from Bombay ; others had been vaccinated
before leaving their respective homes.

the vessels had any cases of infectious disease during the voyage or on arrival
at Bombay.
Only 8 plague infected rats were found during the year by the Port Trust:
staff in the docks. They were all found in the Alexandra dock: the Princes and
Victoria docks were free. In 1918, 113 plague infected rats were found, and all
came from the Alexandra dock.
City of Karachi.—7,213 births were registered against 7’29^ deaths during the
year.
Influenza caused 1,470 deaths against 3,208 in 1918, small-pox 81 against 236,
plague 350 against 1,260, respiratory diseases 880 against 1,027.
The infantile mortality rate was 278 per 1,000 of live births.

The following cases of infectious disease were landed :—

Small-pox 9, measles 2 ; plague 1, chicken-pox 5, influenza 254, diphtheria 1


and influenzal pneumonia 3.

4 cases of small-pox were also landed from dhows. The plague case was
from a French steamer bound from Djibouti to Marseilles.

25 ships carrying in all 25,293 pilgrims passed through the port but were not
given pratique.

City of Madras.—27,187 deaths were registered against 312,622 in 1918 and


21,935 the mean. The death rate was 52-4 per mille.

Port of Rangoon.—1,067 vessels arrived : 86 were found infected, 45 of which
had reported infection. 190 cases of infectious diseases were found, of these 105
were of cholera and 85 of small-pox. 17 vessels arrived from East African Ports.
No cases of Jijger or sleeping sickness were found.

362 outgoing vessels were inspected ; one case of cholera, 8 of small-pox and
24 of influenza were detected.

Intelligence and Publicity.

84. Towards the end of 1919 the Conference of Ruling Princes and Chiefs con¬
sidered the question of the record of vital statistics in the Indian States with a view
to securing uniformity throughout India. In subsequent reports it is hoped that it
will be possible to incorporate intormation relating to Indian States. The accumu¬
lation of information in one office is of little value, unless arrangements be made for
the rapid dissemination of such information to the Provinces and States of India
and to other countries. It is hoped that before long an Intelligence bureau will
form part of this office, while as soon as possible an expert statistician will be
appointed to deal with statistics generally and epidemiological statistics in parti¬
cular.

In Bengal Publicity has received much attention from Dr. Bentley, the Sanitary
Commissioner. Literature dealing with important health problems and illustrated
by posters, charts and lantern slides have been prepared.

In Bihar and Orissa a series of lectures illustrated by lantern slides have been
prepared. Pamphlets have been issued in English and the vernacular. Sanitary
sections were opened in the Exhibitions at Patna and Ranchi and were largely
attended.

In the Punjab an '* education bureau ” has been budgetted for. In Bombay
the establishment of a similar bureau is under consideration.

It may be said that the enlightenment of the general public in public health mat¬
ters is receiving attention.

CONCLUSION.

85. This short survey of the incidence of the chief diseases will show that although
much is being done, much remains to be accomplished. Knowledge there is in
abundance, but it cannot be fully applied unti 1 the people of India are willing to pay
the cost. In the meantime it may be possible to check to some extent the spread
of epidemic diseases and the epidemiological units which the Government of India
propose to establish will, it is hoped, assist in the good work which has been and is
being done in the different provinces.

PRISON POPULATION IN 1919, EXCLUDING ANDAMANS.

86. The jail population during 1919 averaged 115,499 against 107,359 in 1918
and a decennial mean of 102,348. The average strength was above the
decennial mean in all provinces with the exception of Burma, and above the
^figure for 1918 except in Burma, Assam, Bengal and North-West Frontier.

SICKNESS AND MORTALITY RATES EXCLUDING ANDAMANS.

87. The constantly sick rate was 31 as compared with 39 in 1918, and 28 the
decennial mean. In the jails of Bombay and Madras only was the constantly
sick rate in excess of the figure recorded in 1918, but it was in excess of the
decennial mean except in the United Provinces, North-West Frontier and Central
Provinces. It was very high in the jails of Assam (48), Bengal (59) and Bihar
and Orissa (52). The admission to hospital rate was 781 against 960 in 1918
and 614 the decennial mean.
The death rate was 26*97 as compared withN 42*45 in 1918 and 21*25
the decennial mean. The highest death rate (46*64) was returned by the
jails of Bihar and Orissa: in 1918 the figure was 65*97 and the decennial
mean is 29*67. In the jails of Madras the death rate was 37*06, a very con¬
siderable advance over the figure recorded in 1918 (25*84) and the decennial
mean i5'5o. In the jails of Burma, Assam and Bengal the death rates were
slightly in excess of the rates in 1918, but these Provinces suffered comparative¬
ly slightly from the influenza epidemic in 1918.
The chief causes of sickness as evidenced by the hospital admission rate
were:— influenza (69*3 against 259*6): malaria (197'8 against 171*2) :
dysentery (72*2 against 72) : diarrhoea (54*7 against 52*7 ): and respirator/
diseases (30*7 against 32*8).
The chief causes of mortality were :—dysentery (4*20 against 3*55) : in¬
fluenza (3*85 against 18*46): pneumonia (3'6o against 5*21) : pulmonary tuber¬
culosis (3*12 against 3*73) : cholera (1*2! against 0*37) : malaria (ro6 against
o*88) : and diarrhoea (1*28 against 0*90). Both hospital admission and death rates
were above the decennial mean for influenza, cholera, smallpox, malaria, pneumonia,
respiratory diseases, dysentery and diarrhoea. This is an unsatisfactory record.
The Government of Madras in an order accompanying the annual jail report
remark that “ they hope before long it will be practicable to bring the Indian
Medical Service personnel of the Jail Department up to full strength with a
resultant improvement in the statistics of mortality and sickness. ” The demand
for the services of highly qualified and experienced medical officers made by war
conditions has been felt by the Jail Department of all provinces : but, more than
the return of these officers is needed before the statistics of sickness and mortality
in the jails will be really satisfactory. What is wanted is co-ordination in
“health” administration, not as at present a separation into more or less water¬
tight departments dealing with hospitals, sanitation, health of prisoners, etc.
It is quite impossible for an executive medical officer—he has not the time—to
keep in touch by a perusal of literature with the advances indicated by research s
for instance, it was found that in one province in which the jail inmates suffer
much from dysentery, the jail authorities were quite un ware of valuable work

on dysentery conducted by the Indian Research Fund Association. There


is at present no official organisation in India connected with propaganda work
for bringing the results of research to the notice of those engaged in the
application of methods : there can be no real advance in mortality and
sickness statistics until this want is supplied.

INFLUENZA.
» •

88. Exclusive of the Andamans the hospital admission rate was 69*3 against
259-6 in 1918 and a decennial mean, excluding 1918, of 2*2. The highest
admission rate 191-5 was in the Madras jails. Admission rates of over 100
were returned from the jails of Assam, Bengal and Bihar and Orissa. The
Punjab jails were almost free, while the jails in the Central Provinces escaped
very lightly. In Bombay, the Deccan and Guzerat jails were, with the exception
of Bijapur, free of the disease.. A high incidence was felt in some of the jails
in Sind and on the western coast. Incidence was low in the United Provinces,
North-West Frontier, and Burma jails, but in the latter province the incidence
was generally higher in the jails on the coast than in inland jails.
Generally speaking the incidence of the disease in 1919 was greatest in
the jails which suffered least in 1918, but the Assam and Sind jails are exceptions
to this statement, for the incidence in both was high in 1918 as well.
In the Andamans the admission rate was only i8’6 against 192*4 in 1918.
The mortality rate, exclusive of the Andamans, was 3*85 as compared with
18*46 in 1918. The Madras jails returned the highest rate of 12*70, while the
rates for Assam and Bihar and Orissa jails were 8*21 and 7*53, respectively.
The death rate in the Punjab jails was only 0*14, in the Burma jails 0*45 and
in the Central Provinces jails 0*47. The mortality figures show that the jails
which suffered least in 1918 suffered most severely in 1919, but the Burma jails
provide an exception, for the mortality in these jails in 1918 was the lowest
recorded in that year.

• In the Andamans the death rate was 6*09 against 10*89 in 1918.

MALARIA.

89. The admission rate for malaria exclusive of the Andamans was 197*8 against
171*2 in 1918 and 141*0 the mean. High admission rates were returned from the
jails of Bengal (407) : of Punjab (330) : of Bihar and Orissa (294) : of North-*
West Frontier (286): and of Bombay (227). These figures, with the exception
of that for the North-West Frontier, are considerably in advance of the decennial
means.

There is a marked seasonal prevalence, and the maximum number of admis¬


sions was reached in October, the figure for this month being more than four
times the number for February, and over double the number for August. The jail
reports make little mention of prophylactic measures beyond a reference to quinine
prophylaxis. It is obvious that if any value is attached to preventive measures
such value should be most marked in a controlled community. The continued
prevalence of malaria in jails seems to be a subject for the considration of
Provincial “ Health” Departments, should they be formed : in the meantime
the advice of Provincial Sanitary Commissioners might well be taken.
Jaila of India.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR I919. 87

In the Andamans the admission rate was 1,205 against 864 in 1918 and a
decennial mean of 972.
The mortality rate, excluding the Andamans, was i’o6 as compared with
o*88 in 1918 and 0-82 the decennial mean. High death rates were recorded in
Punjab (i’47) : in United Provinces (1-39): in Bihar and Orissa (1*25) and Bengal
(no). The rates for the Punjab and the United Provinces jails were markedly
in excess of the decennial means. In the North-West Frontier jails there was no
mortality from malaria for the second year in succession.

In the Andamans the mortality was 4*87 against 2*49 in 1918 and 271 the
decennial mean.

CHOLERA.

90. The admission rate for all jails, exclusive of the Andamans, was 2*4 against
0*9 in 1918 and a decennial mean of o*8. The mortality rate was 1*21 as
compared with 0*37 in 1918, and 0^40 the decennial mean.
The highest admission rate (6*8) was returned from the jails of Bihar
and Orissa. The disease was also markedly prevalent in the jails of Burma,
Bengal and Madras. Much of the cholera in jails is due to importation, but
polluted water is blamed or suspected in the case of Bhagalpur, Cannanore and
Mymensingh jails.
279 cases of cholera were reported during the year, and of these 170
occurred between July and September and 80 between April and June. There
was no cholera in the Andamans.
' • • . . “• V.

DYSENTERY.

91. For the jails of India, exclusive of the Andamans, the admission rate was
72*2 against 72 in 1918, and a decennial mean of 60*7.

Dysentery is pre-eminently a disease of the jails of Bengal and Bihar and


Orissa. The admission rate in the Bengal jails was 179 and in the Bihar and
Orissa jails 201*4 : the latter figure being considerably over the decennial mean.
The admission rate for Bombay jails (78*5) was more than double the decennial
mean (37 6): similar figures were recorded in the Madras jails. The reduction
of the dysentery admission rate in the Assam jails is very remarkable: in 1919
the admission rate fell to 56 from 66 in 1918 and a decennial mean of 170. The
maximum number of admissions (1,038) was in July, closely followed by August
(947)*
In the Andamans the admission rate was i30‘6 as compared with 94 in 1918
and 87 the decennial mean. The death rate for Indian jails, excluding the
Andamans, was 4*20 against 3*55 in 1918 and 2*97 the decennial mean. By far
the highest rate was returned from the Bihar and Orissa jails (16M9). This figure
is a slight improvement on the 1918 figure, but is more than doubl e the decennial
mean (7*31). High rates were returned from Madras (5*83) : Bengal (4*93) :
Burma (3*73) and the United Provinces (3*59).

In the Andamans the death rate was 9*99 as compared with 6*14 in 1918 and
5*34 the decennial mean.

DIARRHCEA.

92. In a bad year for cholera and dysentery the admission and death rates for
diarrhoea were higher than usual. The admission rate, exclusive of the Andamans,
88 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section IV.

was 547 as compared with 4i’5 the mean, while the death rate rose from 0*78 to
1*28.
Assam (188), Bengal (160) and Bihar and Orissa (152) returned the highest
admission rates : all being considerably in excess of the decennial means. The
disease in the Assam jails was not very fatal, the death rate being 0*97: in the
Bihar and Orissa jails the death rate was 3*31.

In the Andamans the admission and death rates were 48'6 and 1*38 against
decennial means of 39^6 and 0^2.

In vaccines medical officers of jails have a potent weapon against cholera


and dysentery. It is stated that the results from the use of dysentery vaccines
have been excellent in the Bihar and Orissa jails. In April 1919 the writer of
this note visited Ranchi and brought to the notice of the Inspector General of
Jails the work of Major Cunningham, I. M. S., on the prevention of dysentery.
This system was inaugurated in the Bhagalpur jail in May and in all the jails of
the Province during the last quarter of the year. It is too early to make any
observations on the results except that it is stated that the lowered incidence of
dysentery in the Bhagalpur jail during the latter half of the year was in no small
measure due to this system.
• *

* PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS.

93. For the jails of India exclusive of the Andamans the admission rate was 9-5
as compared with 12*3 in 1918 and 9‘8 the decennial mean.

The highest admission rates were returned from the jails of Burma (i6‘8) :
of Bihar and Orissa (16*0) and of Madras (11*7). The rates for Burma and
Madras show a considerable rise over the decennial mean.

The death rate fell from 3*42 the mean to 3-12. High rates were recorded
in the jails of Burma (6-13) and Madras (5*13). The fall in the death rate in
the Punjab jails continued : the figure for 1919 was 2*73, which is less than half
the mean.

Arrangements for the separation of prisoners with pulmonary tuberculosis


have been proposed, and details, so far as information is available, will be given
below.

In the Andamans the admission and death rates were 7*1 and 4-3q as
compared with means of 6*7 and 4*77.

PNEUMONIA.

94. The admission and death rates for jails in India, exclusive of the Andamans ',
were 13*6 and 3-60. These figures are an improvement on those returned in 1918,
but are in excess of the decennial means.

In all provinces with the exception of Bombay and the United Provinces a
marked fall in the prevalence of and mortality from this disease was noticeable.
In Bombay the admission rate rose to 27-5 from 20-9 in 1918 and a mean of 14*5.
The death rate was 7-10 as compared with 7-33 in 1918 and 4*43 the mean. In
the United Provinces there was no rise, but the comparatively high figures of
1918 were maintained.

In the Andamans both rates were below those for 1918 and the means.
Jails of India.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 89

ENTERIC FEVER.

95. There were 65 cases and 16 deaths as compared with 95 and 28 in 1918*
The disease was chiefly prevalent in the jails of Burma, Bengal, United Provinces,
Bihar and Orissa and North-West Frontier Province. No case was reported
from the Central Provinces, and only one from B ombay.

In the Andamans there were 14 cases and 7 deaths. .

PYREXIA OF UNCERTAIN ORIGIN.

96. 1,794 cases were reported, and of these 774 were from jail in the Punjab,
and 770 of the remainder in the jails of Burma, Assam and Bihar and Orissa.
The mortality was slight.

I919 was a distinctly unhealthy year for the inmates of jails. Influenza
persisted in many areas, and the severe epidemic of 1918 and the food scarcity
undoubtedly left their marks on the resisting power of the general population to
disease. The rainfall was well over the average and was favourable to the
incidence of malaria, cholera and intestinal diseases generally.

BENGAL.

97. Overcrowding existed through the greater part of the year, and was most
marked among undertrials. The release of prisoners on the occasion of peace
celebrations afforded some relief.

The wheat-rice diet maintained its popularity. Out of 33,473 prisoners


D. t discharged during the year 53 per cent.
. gained in weight, 20 per cent, lost in
weight, and 26 per cent, neither gained nor lost : the percentages are the same as
in 1918. The comparative figures are slightly in favour of the wheat-rice diet, but
the average cost of this diet came to Rs. 5-2-10 as compared with Rs. 4-8-7 for
the rice diet.

It is interesting to note that only 4 per cent, lost over 5 lbs. in weight, and
of these only an insignificant number lost over 10 lbs.; whereas 14 per cent, gained
over 5 lbs. and rather over a quarter of these gained over 10 lbs.

The constantly sick rate was 59 against 61 in 1918 and 50 the decennial
mean. The hospital admission rate was 1,428 as compared with 1,459 in 1918
and 1,094 the decennial mean. The death rate (22*93) was higher than the
figure for 1918 (21*66) and the decennial mean (23*35).

The comparative unhealthiness of the year was due mainly to the prevalence
of influenza, malaria, and diarrhceal diseases.

2,090 cases were admitted with 69 deaths, giving a case mortality of 3*3 per
cent.; which shows that the disease was
rather more fatal than in 1918. The death
rate from influenza was 4*72.

The incidence and fatality of the disease varied considerably, thus*


Chittagong, Noakhali, Baraset, Presidency ( Europeans ), Faridpur, Rajshahi,
Malda, Suri and Bankura escaped altogether. In Dacca central there were
249 cases with 19 deaths : in Khulna 66 cases with 7 deaths : in Presi¬
dency (Indians) 391 cases with 10 deaths : in Alipore (Indians) 62 cases

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section IV.

with 6 deaths : in Midnapore central 44 cases with 7 deaths : Backerganj 265


cases with 5 deaths and in Bogra 10 cases with 5 deaths. In the remaining jails
there were cases with little or no mortality.

Prophylactic vaccination was not tried, but vaccines were used in treatment
with indefinite results.

The admission and death rates fell from in and 3-61 in 1918 to 8*i and
Pulmonary Tuberculosis. ^ ^ *9*9*

In all there were 119 cases under treatment with 33 deaths. The cases were
widely distributed over 23 jails, but the chief incidence seems to have been in the
Presidency ( Indians ) jail with 29 cases and 5 deaths, and in Mymensingh jail
with 15 cases and 4 deaths. It is evident that a general segregation of all cases of
tuberculosis is not yet possible.

The admission rate was 407 as compared with 356 in 1918 and 299 the
decennial mean. The death rate fell from
Malaria. •
1*16 in 1918 and 1*57 the decennial meair
to no. The actual number of admissions was 5,948 and of deaths 16. The
case mortality was 0*27 per cent. The disease is said to have been of a mild type,
but, as it affects all the jails, and was the cause of nearly i-3rd of the sickness
during the year must be a serious problem in jail administration. The annual rise
in the sickness rate commenced in June and reached its maximum in November.

The admission rate for these two diseases combined was 339, as compared
with a decennial mean of 293. The death

rate tor dysentery was 4* 93, which is
slightly below the mean : and for diarrhoea o’ 82, which is practically the same as
the mean. High death rates for dysentery were returned from Burdwan (27*68) :
Malda (20*27) : Jalpaiguri (12*66): Rangpur (14* 71) : Khulna (18* 02): Jessore
(11* 9) : Faridpur (15* 73) : Krishnagar (n* 86). The Inspector General reports
that no reasons can be given for the comparative severity of the disease in these
jails, but in 1918 the high mortality from dysentery in Rangpur and Jessore
jails was attributed to inexperience on the part of the staff.

There were 45 attacks with 18 deaths. Seven jails reported cases, but the
most serious outbreak—26 cases and 9
deaths—was in the Mymensingh jail. The
Inspector General states that the epidemic was “ due to swarms of flies and
scanty and bad water.” It is said that steps have been taken to remedy these
defects.

The death rate in Dacca jail rose from io* 58 in 1918 to 28*65 due to the

With the exception of Mymensingh the average strength of these jails is


comparatively small, and a few deaths mean a very marked rise in the death rate;
wide fluctuations from year to year are inevitable.

ASSAM.

98. The accommodation available for convicts and under-trials, exclusive of


provision in hospital wards and cells, was in excess of the average daily number
of prisoners.

No change was made during the year. 54 per cent, of the prisoners

had lost weight and 20 per cent, had neither
gained nor lost. These figures are an improvement on those recorded in 1918.

Eight per cent, of the prisoners discharged lost 5 lbs. in weight or more, but
only 2 per cent, over 10 lbs.; while 21 per cent, gained 5 lbs. or over, and nearly
9 per cent, over 10 lbs.

The constantly sick rate was 48 against 55 in 1918 and 43 the decennial
mean. The hospital admission rate ( 1,033 ) was lower than in 1918 but slightly
higher than the mean.

The death rate (24*63) is higher than in 1918 (21*34), but is still
appreciably lower than the mean (31*69). In 1917 and 1918 the Assam jails
were fortunate in returning the lowest death rate, but in 1919 the rate is only-
exceeded by the Bihar and Orissa, Madras, Burma and United Provinces jails.
An epidemic of influenza was the main cause of the increase in the mortality.
308 cases with 17 deaths were reported giving a case mortality of 5.5 per cent.,
as compared with i*8 in 1918. The death rate was 8*21 against 7-11 in 1918.

246 cases with 11 deaths were reported from Sylhet jail : the epidemic
broke out in August. Five other jails returned a few cases. The three jails in
the hills tract escaped.

As compared with 1917 and 1918 there was an increase in the admissions
for malaria and diarrhoea. The death rate for malaria (0*97) is less than half
the decennial mean. Quinine prophylaxis in 5 grain doses daily during the
malaria season was continued. The death rate for pulmonary tuberculosis was
0*97 as compared with a mean of 3*27 and 4*oo in 1918. Ten cases were
admitted to the hospitals of 4 jails, and of these 2 died in Sylhet jail.

It was found that an average of 45 per cent, of the prisoners admitted was
infected with ankylostomiasis. This disease necessitated the admission of 11
prisoners to hospital without a fatal result.

99. General scarcity and famine conditions in certain areas led to an increase in
crime with consequent overcrowding in some jails. The average strength was
8,77° against 8,640 in 1918 and 7,307 the mean.

No change in the diet was made during the year: the modifications

Out of 20,837 prisoners discharged 53 per cent, had gained weight, 20 per
cent, had lost, and 27 per cent, had neither gained nor lost. The figures are not
quite so good as in 1918. Five per cent, lost in weight 5 lbs. or more, and less
than 2 per cent, over 10 lbs : 19 per cent, gained 5 lbs. or more, and 6 per cent, over
10 lbs.

The constantly sick (52) and hospital admission (1,251) rates though lower
than in 1918, are still considerably in excess of the decennial means. With the
exception of pulmonary tuberculosis and anaemia and debility all diseases showed
increased incidence over the average : the most marked increases being under the
headings dysentery, diarrhoea, respiratory diseases and influenza.

cent. The death rate was 16*19 per mille,
which is more than double the decennial
mean.

For the jails as a whole July and August were the months of maximum
incidence. The Inspector General of Prisons considers that the application in
April of measure for the routine examination of stools was responsible for the
lessened incidence in Bhagalpur jail in the latter half of the year. The figures
seem to support this view. In April the admissions numbered 57, but in the
month of maximum incidence — July —the number fell to 17.

Serious epidemics occurred in the following jails :—Hazaribagh (279 cases


46 deaths) : Purulia (149 cases 17 deaths) : Balasore (71 cases 10 deaths) :
(Angul 60 cases 15 deaths): Bhagalpur (292 cases 13 deaths) : Chaibassa (111

Epidemics with slight mortality occurred in Cuttack (88 cases 1 death) : Arrah
(117 cases 1 death) : Champaran (71 cases 2 deaths) : Patna (46 cases no
death) : Sambalpur (60 cases 2 deaths). For diarrhaea there were 1,331 admis¬

introduced by 3 female prisoners, who attended court for trial. The Inspector

attacks with 2 deaths : the pipe water supply is blamed for this outbreak, and
measures were taken for sterilising the water.

Sixteen jails reported cases of cholera.

There were 2,575 admissions with 11 deaths. The admission rate was
lower than in 1918, but higher than the
mean. The Inspector General considers
that the figures include many mild cases of uncomplicated influenza. The death
rate was 1*25 against 2*20 in 1918 and 1*22 the mean.

Very high admission rates were returned from the following jails : —Balasore
(722); Ranchi (533); Hazaribagh (589); Gaya (594) ; Arrah (337) ; Chapra
(336); Buxar (597).

Mortality was confined to seven jails ; 3 deaths occurred in Balasore and


Arrah jails ; 2 in Purulia, and 1 each in Hazaribagh, Champaran, and Monghyr.
Quinine was administered during the monsoon, and a certain number of wells were
made mosquito proof.

The special ward at Gaya was completed and occupied during the year.

Influenza caused 27 admissions and 2 deaths ; it was confined practically


to Multan central jail from which 26 cases were reported and these were in
continuation of the 1918 epidemic.

Malaria was responsible for 4,721 admissions and 21 deaths. The


admission rate was 330 against 304 in 1918 and 176 the decennial mean.

High admission rates were returned from Ferozepore (750) ; Lahore central

Pulmonary tuberculosis.—The fall in the admission and death rates from


i6'6 and 5*73—the means—to 7*6 and 2*73 is satisfactory. The fall in the death
rate is attributed by the Inspector General to the good work’of the medical staff
at the Shahpur jail. It is hoped to build a special jail for prisoners suffering
from tuberculosis.

Pneumonia caused 276 admissions and 69 deaths. The admission and


death rates were 19*3 and 4-82. These figures are about the average.

A case of plague occurred among the families of the staff at Rawalpindi.


All prisoners and staff were inoculated, and there was no further case.

Multan and Montgomery central jails returned high death rates—32*02 and

jail (152); Sind Gang (126) and Deccan Gang (104). Five deaths occurred in the
Deccan Gang; 4 in Yerrowda Central, and 2 each in Ahmedabad Central and
the Sind Gang.

For pneumonia there were 333 admissions with 86 deaths, giving a case
mortality of 25*8 per cent. The admission rate was 27, the highest in India, as
compared with 20*9 in 1918 and 14*5 the mean. The death rate was 7*10 against
7*33 in 1918 and 4*43 the mean.

High admission rates were returned from Shikarpur (89); Sukkur (165); Sind
Gang (64) and Deccan Gang (46). The mortality was chiefly felt in the Sukkur
jail and the Sind and Deccan Gangs with 20, 17 and 15 deaths, respectively.

For other respiratory diseases there were 503 admissions with 13 deaths.
The admission rate was 41, which is higher than the mean and the figure fot
1918. The death rate 1*07 is slightly higher than the average.

High admission rates were returned from Bombay Common Prison (89):

Of the central jails Ahmedabad had the lowest death rate (12-66),
Yerrowda and Hyderabad central jails returned death rates of just over 20. The
highest death rate (47*5°) came from the Sind Gang. This Gang suffered
in consequence of the office of Superintendent changing hands four times during
the year.

IO0 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section IV*

No important change was made in the diet, but in some instances rice was
substituted for ragi. The cost of diet per
ij ieu
head rose to Rs. 5-7-4 per mensem.

Of 18,446 prisoners discharged 64 per cent, had gained, 14*4 per cent, had
lost weight, and 22 per cent, had remained stationary. Three per cent, lost 5
lbs. or over, and under 1 per cent, over 10 lbs., while 22 per cent, gained 5 lbs. or
over and 8 per cent, over 10 lbs.

The year was an exceptionally unhealthy year for the Madras jails; the
hospital admission rate rose from 436 in 1918 and 372 the mean to 560 : and the
death rate from 25*84 in 1918 and i5'5° the mean to 37*06.

The main causes of sickness were the prevalence of influenza and dysentery.

Influenza caused 2,201 admissions with 146 deaths giving a case mortal¬
ity of 6*6 per cent. The admission rate was 191*5 and the death rate 12*70 per
mille.

All the jails suffered, but high admission rates were returned from Coimba¬
tore Central (535) ; Trichinopoly Central (270); Madras Penitentiary (252) and
Palamcottah (218).

The disease was especially fatal in Trichinopoly Central: Vellore Central :


Cannanore Central: Vizagapatam Central: and Coimbatore Central, in which
death rates of 26*13; I9'23; 18*62 ; 15*04 and 14*33, respectively, were recorded.
No mortality from this cause occurred in the Palamcottah, Cuddalore and
Berhampur jails.

Dysentery.—There were 876 admissions with 67 deaths. The admission


rate rose from 47 in 1918 and 38 the mean to 76; and the death rate from 2*66
in 1918 and 2*03 the mean to 5*83.

Very high admission rates were recorded in Cannanore central (192);


Madras Penitentiary (241) and Vizagapatam Central (102), these jails returned
high death rates also, 15*96; 30*18 and 15*04, respectively.

The Inspector General anticipates an appreciable improvement in the


dysentery figures as all kitchens are now fly proof and all latrines shortly will be.
The bacteriological and chemical examinations of all jail water supplies were
resumed during 1919.

Cholera.—‘Out of 35 cases and 17 deaths Cannanore Central jail was respon¬


sible for 29 cases and 13 deaths. The Medical Officer of the jail attributed the
disease to the water supply, but the Inspector General is doubtful.

Malaria is comparatively unimportant in the Madras jails : there were 280


admissions with 6 deaths. The great majority of admissions were recorded in
Bellary, Vellore Central and Rajahmundry Central. Quinine prophylaxis has
been discontinued in all jails. In spite of the prevalence of influenza the figures
lor pneumonia and respiratory diseases were very low as compared with most
other provinces.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis.—134admissions with 59 deaths.


Jails of India.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. IOI

The admission rate rose from 8*6 in 1918 and 8*4 the mean to 11*7 ; and
the death rate from 2*65 the mean to 5*13.

The admission and death rates were especially high in the Madras Peniten¬
tiary.
• . ■ f
It is proposed to build a special jail for Tuberculous prisoners on the
sanitorium and farm colony principle. The proposal for an annexe in connexion
with the Coimbatore jail has been dropped.

Of the 9 central jails at one end of the scale there are the Salem, Bellary
and Rajahmundry jails with death rates of 7*31 : i9'25 and 18*81, respectively;
and at the other the jails of Cannanore, Madras (penitentiary) : Trichinopoly
and Vizagapatam with death rates of 91*31 : 58*27 : 49*35 and 48*12, respectively.
The difference is attributable to the comparative prevalence of influenza and
dysentery.

BURMA.

106. The average strength was 13,387 against 14,068 in 1918 and 16,082 the
mean.

No change was made ; owing to the rise in prices the average cost of each
diet rose by Rs. 1-11-6 as compared with
1918. Out of 27,384 prisoners discharged,
57 per cent, had gained, 19 per cent, had lost weight and 24 per cent, had
remained stationary. 3 per cent, of the prisoners discharged had lost 5 lbs. or
over and less than 1 per cent, over 10 lbs. : while 16 per cent, had gained
5 lbs. or over and 4 per cent, over 10 lbs.

The hospital Admission rate was 344 as compared with 556 in 1918 and
310 the mean: the death rate rose from 25*59 in 1918 and 17*73 the mean to
28*54.

Influenza caused 317 admissions with 6 deaths: there were cases in 17 jails
but in only two—Moulmein and Rangoon central (Indian)—was there mortality.

Dysentery was responsible for 425 admissions with 50 deaths. The admis¬
sion rate rose from 18 in 1918 and 20 the mean to 32 : and the death rate from
1*49 in 1918 and 1*72 the mean to 3*73. The central jails at Myingyan, Man¬
dalay, Myaungmya and Insein suffered severely, and were responsible for 39 out
of the 50 deaths. The prevalence in Myingyan was attributed partly to the
presence of many weakly prisoners, and partly to defects in the paddy and pegya.
This jail suffered from a plague of flies, as did the jails at Insein and Mandalay.

There were 77 attacks and 44 deaths from cholera. In the Myingyan


central jail there were 54 attacks with 31 deaths. The epidemic occurred at
the end of July. The water supply at this jail was unsatisfactory owing to defects
in the pumps. In Insein central jail there were 16 attacks and 10 deaths.

Pulmuonary Tuberculosis.—225 admissions with 82 deaths. The admission


rate—• 17—.is slightly lower than in 1918, but is much in advance of 9*4 the
decennial mean. The death rate rose from 5*26 in 1918 and 4*50 the mean to
6*13. The Inspector General attributes the increased fatality to the indirect
influence of influenza.

229BGIMS 2B
102 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section IV.

98 cases were treated in the special ward at Myingyan : most of the cases
came from Insein and Rangoon. In spite of the transfer of cases to Myingyan
the admission and death rates in these two jails were very high. The Inspector
General considers that the infection is not contracted within the jails. The
special ward has only accommodation for 50 : another similar ward is to be built.

Plague accounted for 7 admissions and 5 deaths : there were 4 fatal cases in
Bhamo, and one in Prome jail. Anti-plague vaccine was used in the Rangoon
jail.

There were 757 admissions and 14 deaths from anky lostomiass.

The exceptionally high mortality in Myingyan central jail (116*97)


partly due to the deaths of tuberculous prisoners transferred from other jails.
Excluding this factor the death rate would still have been high owing to cholera
and dysentery.

The Mandalay central jail returned a death rate qf 38*53, due largely to
dysentery and pneumonia: the death rate for the Insein jail was 36*93 ; cholera
pulmonary tuberculosis and dysentery being the main factors.

ANDAMANS.

107. The average strength was 12,309 as compared with 12,856 in 1918, and
12,278 the decennial mean.
, •
The Medical establishment consists of 1 Senior Medical Officer, who is
also Civil Surgeon, 1 Military Assistant Surgeon, who is also in charge of the
Military Police Hospital, and 3 Civil Assistant Surgeons. To maintain the
health of the army it is considered that about 3 commissioned medical officers
per mille of strength are essential : on this standard the medical personnel at
the Andamans has more work than it can do efficiently.

The admission to hospital rate was i,8io against 1,665 in 1918 and
1,566 the mean. The death rate was 45*82 as compared with 47*76 in
1918 and a mean of 35*23. The main causes of sickness and mortality were
influenza, malaria, dysentery, pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis.

For influenza there were 229 admissions with 75 deaths. The cases
occurred in continuation of the 1918 epidemic, and there was practically no
influenza after the end of January.

Malaria accounted for 14,828 admissions with 60 deaths. The admission


rate rose from 864 in 1918 and 972 the mean to 1,205, the death rate from
2*49 in 1918 and 2*71 the mean to 4*87.

The reclamation of the Aberdeen:!swamp was completed in 1918, while


considerable progress was made in 1919 with the Phoenix bay swamp. These
improvements only affected 30 per cent, of the convicts.

There were 17 admissions and 7 deaths for black water fever against 8
and 3 in 1918 and 6 and I in 1917.

It may be that the enhanced incidence, of malaria in 1919 was due to the
enfeeblement of the convicts as a result of the influenza epidemic, but allowing
for this the mean incidence is more than fourfold that in the jail community
Jails of India.3 WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 103
«

in India. The future of the settlement is therefore intimately bound up with


the prevalence of malaria.

Dysentery.-^There were 1,608 admissions with 123 deaths. The admission


rate rose from 94 in 1918 and 87 the mean to 131 : the death rate from 6*14 in
1918 and 5*34 the mean to 9*99.

The Chief Medical Officer writes :— 11 An expert enquiry into this disease
has been under consideration for 10 years. As soon as normal peace condi¬
tions are resumed, it is hoped that this expert advice may be placed at the
disposal of the settlement, together with sufficient medical staff to carry out its
recommendations. ”

Pulmonary Tuberculosis.—-87 admissions with 54 deaths. The Chief


Medical Officer recommends that, as the climate of the Andamans is bad for
these cases, convicts so afflicted should be transferred to Indian jails.

When provincial arrangements for the segregation and treatment of tuber¬


culous prisoners have been completed this recommendation is worthy of con¬
sideration.

Pneumonia caused 154 admissions and 77 deaths.

Major Christophers in his report drew attention to the close association


between malarial infection and fatal lobar pneumonia.

Admissions for scurvy rose to 50 as compared with 26 in 1918, 35 in 1917,


75 in 1916 and 243 in 1915. It was only possible, owing to scarcity, to issue
fish to the convicts 2 or 3 times in a month. The vegetables supplied to the
convicts from Haddo were comparatively poor in quality, owing possibly to the
character of the soil.

Rainfall during the year amounted to 92*2 inches as compared with 114*38
the mean.

VACCINE LYMPH.

109. Practically all the operations were carried out with vaccine lymph taken
from the calf.
The use of fresh calf lymph is practically confined to the cities of Bombay
and Calcutta.
Calf lymph mixed with Lanoline is used in Madras Presidency and parts
of Bengal. In Madras it will be noted that the success rate for primary vaccina*
tion is only 78 per cent, while lanolinated vaccine in Bengal gave a success
rate of 97 percent. The reason for the poor results in Madras is under close
enquiry by the local authorities.
Clycerinated calf vaccine is gaining in popularity in Bengal: 1,203,713
persons were vaccinated with this vaccine against 129,654 in 1918 and 35,370
in 1917.

GENERAL REMARKS.

110, In Bengal alone the increases in primary vaccinations and revaccina¬


tions were 350,768 and 1,051,057, respectively. A small-pox epidemic was in
seme measure responsible for these increases, but a special campaign including
the issue of circulars, illustrated leafiets and posters undoubtedly had great
influence.
The successful rate obtained in primary vaccination was satisfactory
except in the Madras Presidency. Although the system of inspection of results
varies to some extent in the different provinces, the majority of the inspections
is done by Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors. The following table gives details:—*

Vaccination] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919 IO7

The results obtained after inspection are not exactly comparable with those
returned by vaccinators, for on inspection many children vaccinated in previous
years are seen, but they show that while the work is on the whole satisfactory
there is room for improvement. This improvement will be attained gradually
through the careful training which vaccinators now receive in several pro¬
vinces.

DELHI PROVINCE.

in. The total number of vaccinal operations fell to 15.949 from 16,639 in
the previous year. The fall is attributed to malaria. In Delhi city 65 per cent,
of the children estimated as available were successfully vaccinated.

Under 10 per cent, of the vaccinal operations were checked by inspectors.

BENGAL.

112.3,181,727 persons were vaccinated against 1,773,715 in the previous


year. The increase was largely due to a special campaign instituted to combat
an epidemic of small-pox.

In the Municipalities 83*6 per cent, of infants surviving the first year of life
were protected by vaccination. Civil Surgeons inspected 1*62 per cent, and
Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors 35'63 per cent, of total operations.

BIHAR AND ORISSA.

113. The total number of operations rose from 972,423 in IQ18-19 to


The latter figure is below the average for the triennial period ending
1916-17.

In the Municipalities 74^3 per cent, of the infants calculated as available


were successfully vaccinated. It should be noted, however, that this figure
as in other Provinces of India, is largely vitiated by indifferent birth registra- .
tion in Municipal areas.

in rural areas the percentage of available children successfully vaccinated


was 39*i.

Civil Surgeons and Deputy Sanitary Commissioners inspected 8 per cent,


of operations and Inspectors 48 per cent.

ASSAM.

114. The total number of operations rose from 289,184 in 1918-19 to 441,866
licensed vaccinators are no longer employed in the Province. Civil Surgeons
inspected 6 per cent, and Inspectors 45*7 per cent of total operations.

58‘8 per cent of infants estimated as available for vaccination in areas in


which the compulsory act is in force were protected.

UNITED' PROVINCES.

115. The numbers of persons vaccinated were slightly less than in 1918-19.
The figure 1,409,481 is below the average 1,634,075 for the triennium ending
19(6-17. 81 per cent of the infants in municipal towns who survived the first
year of life were successfully vaccinated.
108 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section^.

In the whole province 53*59 of the infants born were vaccinated.

54 per cent, of the total operations were verified by Deputy Sanitary Com¬
missioners and Inspectors.

PUNJAB.

116. The total number of operations came to 928,822 showing a decrease of


^5>7 71 over the previous year. The province suffered very severely from
malaria in 1917 and influenza in 191S. 77 per cent of the infants born in
Municipal Towns and who survived the first year of life were successfully vacci¬
nated. In the towns in which the vaccination act is in force, the figure is 80 per
cent; in the towns in which it is not in force 63 per cent. 7 per cent, of opera¬
tions were inspected by Civil Surgeons and 79 per cent, by Inspectors. The
number of Inspectors employed was 32 and the vaccinators 311.

NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE.

117. The operations totalled I34>532 representing an increase of 17,724 over


the previous year.

Civil Surgeons inspected 2*9 per cent, and inspectors 97 per cent, of total
operations. 8 Inspectors and 38 Vaccinators were employed during the year.

CENTRAL PROVINCES.

118. 467,296 persons were vaccinated during the year against 539,133 in
1918-19. 84 per cent, of the infants born in municipal towns and who survived

119. The operations totalled 1,613,617 showing a slight fall over the figure
for 1918-19. 2 per cent, of operations were inspected by Civil Surgeons and 73
per cent, by the special staff of Inspectors.

Duiing the year, 108 Inspectors and 617 vaccinators were employed.

BOMBAY.

120. The operations performed totalled 718,653 against 679,926 in 1918.

The Deputy Sanitary Commissioners inspected 3 per cent and Inspectors


39 per cent, of vaccinated persons.

45 Inspectors and 514 vaccinators were employed during the year.

BURMA.

121.838,827 persons were vaccinated against 562,671 1111918-19. The


increase was mainly in revaccinations and was largely due to active campaign in
Yamethin district organised by the Deputy Commissioner to meet a threatened
invasion of small-pox.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VI

DELHI.

124. 23 Dispensaries were open during the year as against 21 in 1918. Of these
8 are State special, 11 Local fund, 3 private-aided and 1 railway.*

There has been a steady increase in the number of patients treated; 349)53^
as against 346,530, a net increase of 3,006.

There is a large increase in the total number of operations performed. The


figures for 1919 and 1918 being respectively 16,261 and 15,534.

During the year there was a decided increase in cases of malaria which account**
ed for 26’5 per cent of the total number of cases treated.

The total expenditure was Rs. 2,01,390 in 1919 as against 1,66,392 in 1918.

BENGAL (excluding Calcutta).

125. There was an increase of 27 institutions. During the year a scheme for the
registration of nurses in the Bengal Presidency was inaugurated, the object of which
is to raise the status and protect the interests of trained nurses and to enable
employers to distinguish between the certificated and uncertificated. The register
is maintained by the Calcutta Hospital Nurses Institution ; at the end of the year
66 nurses were registered.

CALCUTTA.

126. There has been one addition to the list of Calcutta institutions. The num¬
ber of institutions at the end of the year 1919 was 23.

The Carmichael Hospital of Tropical Diseases has been completed at a cost of


Rs. 3,29,582. It has been equipped to accommodate 98 patients, while 18 more
beds will be added when suitable accommodation is provided for nurses.

Proposals are under consideration for providing an Out-Patient Department,


which will allow of the investigation and treatment of leprosy, tropical skin diseases,
etc.

The maintenance charges for the year were Rs. 30,23,660.

In the Medical College Hospitals, 40,395 operations were performed, the highest
record to date; this number includes 8,683 selected operations.

ASSAM.

127. The year closed with 238 institutions, an increase of 44 over the figures of
1918.

The Sylhet Leper Asylum still continues to do good work. The total num¬
ber of patients admitted was 46 against 50 in 1918.

The maintenance charges for the year were Rs, 4,08,523. of which Rs. 5,355
was contributed by Europeans and Rs. 29,035 by Indians.

BIHAR AND ORISSA.

128. The year opened with 425 institutions and closed with 428, a net increase
of 3.
Medical Institutions.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR I919.
”3

There were 15 travelling dispensaries at work at the end of the year. The
number of patients treated by these travelling dispensaries shows a very marked
increase. His Honour the late Lieutenant-Governor made a grant of Rs. 4,000
for the purchase of Novarsenobillon for the treatment of syphilis ; the number of
patients seeking treatment for this disease is on the increase.

CENTRAL PROVINCES AND BERAR.

129. There were 306 institutions open during the year.

Several cases of leprosy were treated with intravenous injections and sodium
» /

gynocardate, the results being favourable.

There has heen a marked decrease in the number of patients treated for dia¬
betes in almost all the districts during the last year.

The Civil Surgeon, Wardha, has reported that visitations of plague are becoming
less severe and that in a few cases treatment with small and repeated doses of iodine
with carbolic acid proved effective.

The number of surgical operations performed during the year was 52,583 against
48,022 in 1918.

The Robertson Medical School, Nagpur, is in its sixth year of working and is
progressing well. A Compounder class for training Compounders was started at
the school on the 1st of July 1919.

UNITED PROVINCES.

130. The year opened with 645 institutions and closed with 647, an increase of
2. Two female hospitals one at Aonla in the Bareilly District and the other at
Khurja in the Pulandshahr District were opened in June 1919.

During the year the number of patients treated in the various hospitals has
shown a most satisfactory increase.

110 Travelling Dispensaries were working throughout the year; the increase
in the number of patients who resorted to them for medical and surgical relief
bears testimony to their usefulness and popularity.

The popularity of the Medical College Hospitals is now fully established ; the
great want of the institution is more accommodation. During the year 50 beds
were constantly filled by war patients, most of whom came from Mesopotamia;
nearly all cases were of a very serious nature or such as required special nursing
and treatment.

The total expenditure was Rs. 18,55,309 as against Rs. 17,49,353 in 1918;

PUNJAB

131. The number of institutions has increased by 13. At the close of 1919 there
were altogether 504 dispensaries or a nominal average of one institution to every
40,000 persons, but it must be noted that there are included in this total no less
than 130 departmental dispensaries not open to the general public.

Among the more important institutions which are under construction or con¬
templated are a new European Maternal block in the Walker Hospital at Simla
i 24 ANNUAL REPORT OP THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VI.

and a fully equipped hospital for Europeans and Indians in Murree, the latter
scheme being rendered possible by a generous gift of a suitable house and grounds
by Sirdars Sohan Singh and Mohan Singh of Rawalpindi.

The Punjab Government has agreed to pay for 5 years the salary of a Health
Officer for each district, whose primary duty will be to relieve the civil surgeon of all
public health work and in the case of three selected districts, the Government
will, in addition, meet the cost for the same period of the District Health Officers*
establishment and the pay of the Sub-Assistant Surgeons required for new dis¬
pensaries on the condition that the District Board finances the initial and recurring
cost of these dispensaries.

The sanction of the Secretary of State having been received to the entertain¬
ment of the additional staff for the enlarged Mayo Hospital, the new wards and
theatres have been taken into use.

The Punjab Medical School for women which is incorporated with the
Women’s Christian Medical College, Ludhiana and is the recognised Government
school for the training of women for a medical career has continued to supply
trained workers for employment in Women’s Hospitals and dispensaries so far as
it was in a position to do so.

Classes for the training of nurses, dais and indigenous dais, have been
carried on at various centres wholly or partly assisted by the Victoria Memorial
Scholarship Fund.

NORTH-WEST FRONTIER FROVINCE.

132. 1 he year opened with 83 hospitals and dispensaries and closed with 74^ a
decrease which was inevitable in consequence of Frontier troubles rendering
certain oispensary areas unsafe and the continued demand for medical personnel
for military duty.

A large decrease in the number of out-patients has to be recorded, the number


treated being no less than 46,816, less than in 1918. This decrease is mainly due
to the closing of the Militia Hospitals in the Tochi, Wano and Khyber Agencies.

The total, number of operations performed was 32,590. The number of


selected operations was 3,607.

The report is not an encouraging one, as it shows a large diminution in the


medical work and the closure of a number of dispensaries. Owing to the increased
shortage of medical personnel due to war conditions, arrangements have been
most unsatisfactory especially at Bannu, where officers holding collateral charge
have changed so frequently and their military duties have been so arduous that
it has been quite impossible for them to give the time and thought necessary
for the effective discharge of their additional civil work. Whole-time Civil Surgeons
are necessary both at Bannu and Kohat and until these appointments have been
sanctioned and filled, medical work in these two districts will continue to be very
unsatisfactory. J

BURMA.

. *33- The year opened with 262 hospitals and dispensaries and closed with 260
an increase of 7. At the close of 1919, 11 Civil Hospitals and 8 dispensaries
Medical Institutions] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 115

remained closed for want of Sub-Assistant Surgeons to staff them. The progress
made in hospital construction has, perforce, been small and many urgent works
have been delayed on account of the war.

There is a crying need for hospitals for the segregation of infectious diseases
throughout the whole province.

There has been a progressive decline in the number of out-patients ever


since the war'broke out; the decline, however, is not of any great consequence
and will disappear when conditions resume their normal course.

There is a great deal of hospital abuse throughout the province. People who
scorn the idea that they are objects of charity have yet no qualms about demand¬
ing free medical attendance at institutions intended only for the poor and needy.

BOMBAY.

134. There were 755 institutions open at the end cf the year as against 740 in
the previous year.

Through the generosity of the Western Indian Turf Club, which gave a
donation of Rs. 10,000, the X-Ray room was remodelled, electric lights provided
in the David Sassoon Hospital and Sister quarters and other improvements were
carried out.

The number of women seeking medical relief at hospitals and dispensaries


shows a steady increase. In order to secure the services of women doctors and
to encourage women to adopt the medical profession 4 Scholarships of Rs. 40 per
mensem tenable for 5 years were granted to lady students at the Grant Medical
College, and 26 Scholarships of Rs. 20 per mensem tenable for 4 years to those
studying at the three medical schools.

The admissions for labour cases showed a considerable increase and in con¬
sequence, it has been decided to provide Maternity Wards at certain Civil
Hospitals.

The practice of associating private medical practitioners with the staff of


medical schools and allied hospitals at Poona and Ahmedabad continues to work
satisfactorily.

The total expenditure amounted to Rs. 34,44,865 ; subscription from Europeans


and Indians amounted to Rs. 1,28,277.

MADRAS.

135. The number of institutions rose to 730, an increase of 9 over 1918. The
question of improving of the headquarter hospitals and of providing quarters for
the District Medical and Sanitary Officers and for their Assistants is under
consideration. Many of the District Headquarter hospitals recently taken over
from local municipalities, are far from being up to date either in buildings, or in
surgical and medical equipments.

The new hospital buildings based on type designs, were completed at


Guntur and Salem before the hospitals were taken over by the Government.

vince during 1919, the total population of such institutions in each province and
the number discharged, cured and died.

The number of asylums has not changed.

There has been a decrease in the admissions and re_admissions during the year
largely accounted for by the decrease in the admissions of military insanes.

In Bengal, stool examination of the lunatics for the detection of hookworm


disease was carried out during the year. At the Berhampore and Dacca Asylums
hookworms were found in 116 cases.

The asylum for Indian insanes at Ranchi has not yet been opened but the
construction of the buildings for the same is in progress and the question of staff
for it is under consideration.

Seventy per cent of tne patients admitted to the Patna Lunatic Asylums were
found to be suffering from ankylostomiasis.

In Burma, there has been and still is considerably overcrowding especially in


the criminal section of the Rangoon Asylum. During the year the Committee
appointed by Government • to examine the proposals for a new Lunatic Asylum at
Rangoon submitted its report and recommended the construction of a new Lunatic
Asylum with accommodation for 1,008 inmates at a cost of Rs. 28 lakhs. The
Government have decided that the construction of a new Lunatic Asylum for the
iemale section should be taken in hand at once.

The figures for the United Provinces call for no remarks.


Medical Institutions] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,FOR 1919. 119

There were 26 escapes from the Tezpur Asylum during the year in Assam.

The accommodation for insanes has been increased in Madras during the year
by 16.
In Bombay several additions at the central Lunatic Asylum Yeravda are now
being carried out and when completed, additional accommodation for 44 patients will
be available. The total population of the asylums shows a steady increase and it
is indicative that the public realise the advantages of these asylums and resort
to them more than in the past.

IV—Medical colleges.

153. The number of municipalities in 1918-19 remained unchanged. The total


income, excluding the opening balance of Rs. 16,84,481 and extraordinary and
debts amounting to Rs. 7,69,222, was Rs. 64,52,693 as compared with Rs. 58,62,251
during the previous year. The net income was equivalent to Rs. 3^2 per head of
population. The total receipts from all sources including the opening balance

130 Annual REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section Vlf.

A special Deputy Sanitary Commissioner with a travelling laboratory was


appointed to enquire into the causes of pollution of the river Hooghly. A river
length of 29 miles was surveyed before the end of the^year, but further work
remains to be done.

Prior to the passage of the village self-Government Act sanitation in rural areas
was under the control of District Boards. Now certain village committees will
possess sanitary duties and the power of levying rates to meet the necessary
expenditure. In recent years increasing amounts have been disbursed by district
boards for the improvement of water supplies. During 1919 over 6\ lakhs of rupees
were spent on the construction of new tanks and wells in rural areas, and over Rs.
63,ooo for the upkeep of existing tanks and wells.

The revenue of district boards is insufficient for the public health needs of the
population, and the Sanitary Commissioner of the Province points out that advance
is being hampered by the “practice of devoting a large proportion of general
revenue to items of capital expenditure which might legitimately be met from
loans ”, The need for more money is very urgent for, without funds it will be
impossible to deal adequately with cholera which in 1919 attacked nearly 16,000
villages.

154* Scinitcivy Board* ihe Board met nine times in the year and considered
six sketch projects for water supply and drainage involving a total estimated cost
of Rs. 7,32,430. Four detailed schemes for water supply involving an expenditure
of Rs. 7,17,131 were also submitted to Government for final approval.

Amongst others the following miscellaneous questions came before the Board
for consideration,

1. Notes on proposal for enabling malaria epidemics to be foreseen and


mitigated, by Sir Leonard Rogers and Dr. Bentley.

2. Influence of railway construction on public health.

3. Distribution of the quinine grant from Government.

4. Malaria survey of the Arool and Bookbhora bils drainage areas, etc.

5. Malaria in Birnagar and in villages Bhatjungla and Dignagar in the Nadia


district.

6. Working scheme for the distribution of quinine in rural areas.

tion as to income and expenditure was received from two unions. The total
income during 1919 of the remaining municipalities and unions, including the
opening balance of last year, amounted to Rs. 7564,093 as compared with
Rs. 8,07,202 in the preceding year. Of this a sum of Rs. 3,27,577 or 42*87 per
cent was spent on different sanitary works and included Rs. 1,91,565 on conservancy,
Rs. 87,907 on water supply and Rs. 30,018 on drainage against Rs. 1,76,773,
R-s* i'5I 2 3 4 5 6i74° and Rs* 16,460, respectively, in 1918. The decrease under water sup
was due to the inclusion in the figure for 1918 of the cost of the completion of
the Sylhet water works.

158. Sanitary Board.—The Board was reconstituted during the year, and now
consists of 6 official and 5 non-official nominated members. In addition to its
advisory functions the Board has certain administrative powers in connection with
the distribution of grants to local bodies for sanitary purposes and the supervision
of projects during construction. The work of the Board is facilitated by the forma¬
tion of two sub committees one to deal with sanitary projects and the other with
public health questions. The Board met five times during 1919-20. Among others
the following questions were dealt with : —

(a) A report by a sub-committee of the Bengal Sanitary Board on depreciation

waterworks. The Aligarh municipality spent Rs. 15,089 on the construction of
pavements ; Rs. 9,524 on waterworks, and Rs. 3,994 on drains. Several other
muncipalities spent smaller sums. District Boards were given a sum of Rs. 68,021
by the Public Health Board, which brought the accumulated funds at their dis¬
posal for sanitary work to Rs. 1,99,265. Out of this Rs. 1,21,603 were spent.

160. Public Health Board.—'YhQ Board held six meetings and sanctioneJ grants
amounting to Rs. 4,39,366, including the sum of Rs. 68,021 allotted for rural
sanitation, in addition grants were made, by the local government amounting to

Rs. 2,37,985 for seven sanitary projects; including a sum of Rs. 1,00,000 for the
improvement of the Tirath Tank and fair area of Gola Gokaran Nath in the Kheri
district. The Board gave administrative approval to sanitary projects at an
estimated aggregate cost of Rs. 70,99,062.

PUNJAB.

161. By the conversion of Moga into a municipality the number of municipalities


in the province was raised from loo to iot and that of notified areas reduced from
104 to 103 during 1918-19. At the close of the year three new notified areas were
constituted. The total income, excluding the opening balance of Rs. 36,73,713
and “Extraordinary'* and debts amounting to Rs. 2,33,520, was Rs. 82,21,813. Of
this a sum of Rs. 16,44,855, or 20 per cent was spent on sanitation and vaccination,
and included Rs. 8,70,622 on conservancy, Rs. 4,10,825 on water supply and Rs.
1,95,579 on drainage. In addition Rs. 5,88,123 were expended on roads.

The total income of District Boards excluding opening balance amounted to


Rs. 94,90,888, and the expenditure on sanitation and vaccination to Rs. 1,36,071,
or 14 per cent. A sum of Rs. 49,222 was spent on the cleaning of wells and for
the construction of parapets. A number of wells, dharamshalas and serais were
built by private individuals in eleven districts at a total cost of Rs. 45,415.

162. Sanitary Board.—The Board met seven times in the year. The balance
of Rs. 3,73,399 left over from the grant made during 1918-19 was fully utilised.
The grants sanctioned out of the balance included Rs. 1,28,617 for Gujranwala
water supply scheme, Rs. 1,04,305 for Rohtak drainage scheme and Rs. 71,458
for storm water drainage and filling of depressions in the town of Montgomery.
Eleven other projects received grants-in-aid. A fresh grant of four lakhs was
placed at the disposal of the Sanitary Board for 1919-20. From this grants to
the extent of Rs. 57,467 in aid of 13 projects were made up to 31st December
1919 ; the balance of Rs. 3,42,533 will be accounted for in the report for next year.

Eight water supply, drainage and village improvement schemes involving a total
expenditure of Rs. 2,45,446 were approved by the Board and administrative sanc¬
tion was accorded in each case. The Sialkot drainage scheme at an estimated
cost of Rs. 3,44,100 was submitted to Government for administrative sanction.
The Board also accorded revised administrative sanction to three drainage schemes
and one water supply scheme at an aggregate cost of Rs. 2,03,758. The Govern¬
ment in the Public Works Department accorded revised administrative sanction
to the Rohtak drainage scheme estimated to cost Rs. 2,08,610 ; and technical
sanction to seven schemes at an aggregate cost of Rs. 7>77>°5°*

The Board is actively developing the general sanitation of the urban areas and
makes a practice of holding sessions in towns to discuss matters with municipal
representatives. Arrangements for the detailed survey of seven large towns have
been made and the work will be undertaken as soon as the Survey Department can
Supply the staff.

Under the Board’s careful policy the introduction of sewerage schemes is being
skilfully regulated and water supply problems are receiving attention and financial
assistance.

Lahore.—A new tube well was sunk in the Davids road, and yields about 30,000
gallons an hour. The average daily quantity of water pumped in June has risen
229DGIMS 2O
134 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VII

from 3*25 million gallons in 1916 to 5*37 million gallons in 1919. A new pump to
deliver 200,000 gallons an hour has been ordered. Owing to insufficient water,
the sewerage scheme is to be taken up gradually.

Amritsar.—Rs. 10,000 was spent on new drains and pavements.

The drainage of Lala Musa at an estimated cost of Rs. 74,541 is nearly


completed : as also the water supply extension scheme for Lyallpur. The Rupar
and Kalka drainage schemes have been completed. Progress was made with the
Rewari water supply project : it is calculated that the supply will be available to the
general public in May 1920.

NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE.

163. A grant-in-aid of Rs. 1,48,000 was allotted as follows Rs. 1,00,000 for
Abbottabad water supply scheme, Rs. 38,000 for diversion of Najaya channel and
two Karezes in Kohat city, Rs. 4,000 for paving and drainage in Bannu town, and
Rs. 6,000 for alteration to the drains in Parachinar bazar. The total income of
municipalities and notified areas was Rs. 17,63,803 of which Rs. 3,62,049 or 20 per
cent, was spent on sanitary works, including Rs. 46,121 on roads and bridges.
The population of the municipalities and notified areas is 191,245, so the incidence
of income and expenditure on sanitation per head of population comes to Rs.9 and
Rs. 1*9, respectively.

The District Board spent a sum of Rs. 43,277 out of the total income of
Rs. 6,42,128. More than 2-3rd of this expenditure was on roads and bridges.

CENTRAL PROVINCES AND BERAR.

164. The total income of municipal towns, excluding loans and balances,
amounted to Rs. 44,54,566 against Rs. 39,77,866, during 1917-18. Of this
Rs. 15,67,063, or 35 per cent, were spent on sanitation, and included Rs. 7,54,420
on conservancy, Rs. 4,4R683 on water supply, Rs. 1,93,870 on drainage and
Rs. 68,698 on markets and slaughter houses.

Government made a total grant of Rs, 2,56,500 in aid of sanitary works, which
was distributed as follows for drainage in two towns Rs. 82,325 ; for water supply
in 8 towns Rs. 90,852 ; for town improvement Rs. 54,535, and miscellaneous
improvements Rs. 28,788. The Sanitary Commissioner of the Province writes that
most of the municipal committees exhibit apathy and indifference to sanitary
improvement.

The total receipts in villages under the Village Sanitation Act amounted to
Rs. 2,85,436 and expenditure to Rs. 2,68,497. The receipts of the Town fund and
other villages under Mukaddam Rules were Rs. 59,081 and expenditure Rs. 61,224:
only Rs. 2,082 were spent on works connected with water supply. A sum of
\ Rs. 30,018 was allotted by Government for improvements in ryotwari villages, of
which Rs. 19,419 were expended in the construction and repairs of wells. A
provincial grant of Rs. 50,000 was sanctioned during 1919-20 for improvement of
water supplies in rural areas.

165. Sanitary Board.—The Board held seven meetings during the year and
considered several schemes connected with drainage, water supply, town planning
and malaria preventive measures.

166. The provisions of the District Municipalities Act were extended to the
major union of Villupuram thus raising the number of municipalities from 73 to 74.
The aggregate population of these municipalities is 2,799,530. Of the total .
income during 1918-19 Rs. 29,75,122 were set apart for sanitary works of which
Rs. 28,05,870 or just over Re. 1 per head, were actually spent. The allotment
for 1919-20 was Rs. 32,63,8745 of this sum Rs. 22,08,600 were expended up to
December 3*^t, 1919* Of tlie total allotment Rs. 4,92,160 was ear-marked for
the improvement of water supply, the remainder being allocated to conservancy,
construction and repair of drains, markets, slaughter houses, etc.

The water supplies for Ellore and Erode, were completed during the year. 6
schemes were under execution, and improvements were made to 5 others.
Ootacamund still remains the only municipality which possesses a completed
drainage system.

The drainage schemes in Madura and Vellore were under execution during
the year. One scheme was sanctioned during the year, i.e., Kumbakonam
(Part i conservancy lanes).

Some activity was evident in the provision of public latrine accommodation of


an improved type. There are still many public latrines of an insanitary type, but
they are being gradually replaced.

In district boards the total assignment for sanitation during 1919-20 amounted
to Rs. 17,74,860 which was 26*4 per cent of the income, the expenditure during
the nine months of the official year being Rs. 8,12,495. The allotment and ex¬
penditure for the full year 1918-19 were Rs. 16,10,363 and Rs. 10,53,609, res¬
pectively. No material progress was noticeable in respect of water supply and
drainage, the chief difficulty being the lack of funds. It is hoped the amended
Local Boards Act and the efforts that are being made by the Health and Welfare
Associations to spread a knowledge of sanitation will improve matters.
_ , • * .

167. Sanitary Board.—The powers of final approval to schemes vested in the


Board was raised in respect of the financial limit from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 50,000.

A revised programme of major sanitary schemes in order of urgency was


submitted to Government and approved. 4 type designs with schedules and
specifications were circulated to local authorities.

13 schemes, estimated to cost Rs. 73,97,880, were received during the year.
9 schemes, the aggregate cost of which amounted to Rs. 3,91,600 were examined
by the Board. 4 schemes estimated to cost Rs. 70,06,280 were referred to the
Chief Engineer for technical scrutiny.

7 schemes estimated to cost Rs. 3,38,800 in the aggregate were finally ap¬
proved by the Board during the year, and 5 being beyond the Board’s financial
powers were submitted to Government.

Bombay.

168. Thenumber of mufussil municipalities during 1919 was 156 with a


combined population of 2,384,505. Their combined income, excluding Viramgaon*
136 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VII.

amounted to Rs. 1,58,30,947 of which Rs. 77,36,710 were raised by taxation.


The incidence of taxation per head of population averaged Rs. 3-4-0 against
Rs. 2-9-0 in 1918. The expenditure on public health measures in Karachi city
was Rs. 8 per head and averaged slightly over Rs. 2 in the mufussil municipalities.
In Bombay city the figure was about Rs. 10 per head.

The combined income of 26 Districts and 215 Taluka Local Boards was
Rs. 88,49,132. Of this a sum of Rs. 4,70,225 was spent on communications and
only Rs. 3^>5°9 on public health work. The incidence of income per head of
population was 8'6 annas.

The imperial and provincial grants during the year amounted to Rs. 700,000
and Rs. 8,24,000, respectively, and were utilised mainly to improve communications
and water supplies. The Government of Bombay also sanctioned a grant of Rs.
1,00,000 in aid of village water supplies, which was supplemented by allotments from
Local Funds and popular contributions. This money was expended in the construc¬
tion of wells and tanks, troughs and cisterns, in repairing old wells, deepening existing
tanks, in boring and jumper operations and in closing step-wells. The policy of
closing step-wells has caused a marked difference in the incidence of guineaworm
disease.

The total income of Notified Area Committees (population 1,40,366) was


Rs. 4,88,828, including the opening balance, of which Rs. 3,41,239 was spent on
sanitary works.

The income of Village Sanitary Boards during the year aggregated Rs. 5,005
of which Rs. i,339 were raised by popular contribution, and expenditure
Rs. 3,422.

During the year 44 new Sanitary Committees were formed which raised their
total number to 505. Their aggregate income amounted to Rs. 5 ,66,065 and
expenditure to Rs. 2,91,141.

169. Sanitary Board.—Four regular meetings and ©ne special meeting were
held during the year.

Of the amount of Rs. 1,00,000 placed at the disposal of the Board Rs. 94,050
was allotted. Plans and estimates for 50 schemes amounting to Rs. 2,06,234
were approved and sanctioned by the Board. The Government of Bombay ’also
sanctioned a total sum of Rs. 91,081 as grants-in-aid to certain municipalities for
sanitary works, and Rs. 2,15,434 for work in connection with boring for sub-
artesian water.

The following were the more important works in connection with water
supply: improvements to Karachi water works at a cost of Rs. 1,92,858 : two new
settling tanks at Hyderabad : an emergency water supply for the Kirkee canton¬
ment at a cost of Rs. 1,40,147: progress on the Ahmednagar water supply,
expenditure during year Rs. 1,54,358.

Minor drainage works were carried out in Karachi, Hyderabad, Poona.


Alandi, and Dhond. Boring operations for artesian water supplies were in progress
m Kaira, Dhobra, Bavla and Nadiad, while in five places bores were put
own to ascertain the possibilities of water supplies or to test for founda-
tions.

170. The total expenditure of municipalities on sanitary works during 1918-19


was Rs. 53,15,909, of which Rs. 18,15,413 were spent on water supply, Rs. 15,52,872
on conservancy, Rs. 5,58,154 on drainage and Rs. 13,79,470 on other sani¬
tary works.

Progress was reported with regard to 17 water supply and 13 drainage pro¬
jects. Thirty bazzar schemes were examined and reported on.

Out of a total recurring grant of 7 lakhs during the financial year 1919-20
Rs. 17,745 were spent on jungle clearing in three towns, Rs. 52,860 on coolies shel¬
ters and drainage improvement in Rangoon and Rs. 418 on tube well in Henzada.

The total aggregate income of the District Boards was Rs. 90,25,002 : of
this Rs. 5,13,957, or 5'6 per cent, were expended on sanitary works. Water
su.pply claimed Rs. 34,759; drainage Rs, 7,436 ; conservancy Rs. 2,01,571, and
other sanitary works Rs. 2,70,191.

171. Sanitary Board.—The Board met twice during the year, once at Mergui,
and once at Namtre.

MILITARY WORKS.

172. During 1919-20, there was a decrease in the expenditure on ordinary original
military works, viz., drainage, conservancy, water supply, hospitals, etc., Rs.
11,58,809, compared with Rs. 12,17,155 in 1918-19. Of this sum, above four
lakhs were spent on water supply and Rs. 5,93,674 on hospitals. The expenditure
on repairs excluding hospitals was Rs. 16,95,337 against Rs. 9,92,997 in 1918-19.
On special military works under the same heads a sum of Rs. 28,80,146 was
expended as compared with Rs. 12,27,971 in the previous year.

SECTION VIII.

GENERAL REMARKS-
173. Progress during the year was undoubtedly hampered by the shortage cf
medical personnel due to military needs and the necessity of giving officers leave
after the strain of the previous years. The Conferences held in 1919, and which
received notice in the report for 1918, paved the way for advance; some action
has already been taken on the recommendations made. Thus, the modifi¬
cations in the statistical statements took effect from the 1st January 1920:
weekly statements relating to the prevalence of the chief epidemic diseases
and to vital statistics in the chief towns are issued: in some Provinces the
Sanitary Commissioner and his Deputies have been appointed additional
inspectors under the Indian Factories Act; and the question of the formation
of Health Boards is under consideration.

The “ yellow fever ” danger brought into prominence the faulty provision
at the principal ports for dealing with the introduction of infection by shipping.
The Government of India appointed a Committee to deal exhaustively with
the subject, and this Committee met in February 1920. The resolutions
passed by this Committee have been accepted by the Government of India
and will bear fruit in future.

It will be noticed chat the Committee also dealt with the prevention of the
exportation of the infection cf bubonic plague through plague infected rats.
This was necessitated by the comparatively frequent occurrence of plague on
ships arriving in foreign countries. The history of two voyages is detailed as
being of exceptional interest.

The S. S. “Nankin” left Bombay on May 3rd, 1919 afrer a stay in


Bombay of 17 days. The cargo consisted of seeds and sundries.
Between the 5th and 7th idem a fireman went sick. As plague was suspected
the fireman and another man were removed at Aden. The disease was subse*
quently shown not to have been plague. The ship remained in London from
May 30th to June 26th, during which period the health of the crew was good.
Many healthy looking rats were caught or killed during this period. Between
London and Marseilles one dead rat was caught in a cage. On leaving
Marseilles on July 6th the first definite evidence of unusual rat mortality was
obtained, and the first human case of plague occurred on July 10th. The
possibilities were an infection of the rats at Bombay, Port Said or London.
If Bombay gave the infection, the infection must have remained latent for some
two months.

The S. S. “Moora” left Bombay on May 1st, 1919,' after a stay of 15


days in port. She was used as an ambulance transport, and arrived
in London on June 18th, where she lay ahead of and at the same wharf
shed as the S. S. “ Nankin.” On June 20th she left for Gravesend and
sailed from Gravesend on July 2nd. No evidence of dead rats was
229DGIMS 2D
I40 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VIU.

obtained, but on July ioth a human case of plague was discovered. Here
again if infection was taken on board during the stay in Bombay the latent
period was over two months.

With the facts at their disposal the Committee concluded that the prevention
of the access of rats to ships is und^r present times impracticable, and that
the protection of ships from rat plague depends mainly on the efficient periodic
deratisation of ships, provided that a suitable gas for fumigation is found and
that efficient ventilation of the holds of ships is secured.

Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Liston, C.I.E., I.M.S., has for years been working,
with funds provided by the Indian Research Fund Association, on a machine
for the use of hydrocyanic gas; during a deputation to England he perfected
his machine, and the Government of India have allocated funds for the
purchase of sufficient machines for an efficient trial.

«✓

Major Cunningham, I.M.S., Assistant Director, on appointment in March


as Director of the King Institute of Preventive Medicine at Guindy was relieved
by Major Cragg, I.M.S. Major Christophers, C.I.E., O.B.E., I.M.S., took
the place of Major H. C. Brown, C.I.E., I.M.S., who left Kasauli on combined
leave in October. The special sections of the Institute remained closed for
want of officers to hold charge. The staff was mainly occupied during the
year in the preparation of vaccines and antisera.

The issues of prophylactic vaccines were greatly in excess of the previous


year, and reached 2,786,415 c. cs. for cholera, 1,290,966 c. cs. for T. A. B.
and 1,055,726 c. cs. for influenza. The total excess over the 1918 issue being
more than two million c. cs. In addition curative vaccines were prepared,
and the usual routine work in connection with the supply of cultures and
materials for serological tests and the pathological examination of material was
conducted.

106,080 c. cs. of antivenene, 3,700 c. cs. of normal horse serum and 676
c. cs. of high titre agglutinating sera were issued. These issues were also in
considerable excess over 1918.

The expansion in the issue of vaccines absorbed the available accommoda*


tion in the Institute and extensions are urgently required. Plans for extensions
have been drawn up and funds have been allotted.
The heavy routine duties naturally handicapped the limited staff in carrying
out original research. The following papers, published in the Indian Journal of
Medical Research indicate the problems with which the members of the staff
were able to deal :— .

the immunity of certain areas from epidemics of plague.

During the year the Government of India decided to issue prophylactic


vaccines for cholera, the typhoid group, and influenza at the almost nominal
price of two annas per c.c. This decision is likely to have important results in
popularising the use of these vaccines among civil communities.

THE BOMBAY BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.,

Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Liston, C.I.E., I.M.S., Director of the Laboratory,


left on March 9th on leave to England and on that dote Major]. C. G.
Kunhardt, I.M.S., assumed acting charge.

Plague work.—Owing to the lessened incidence of plague the output of


anti-plague vaccine fell to 1,011,175 doses from 1,543,099 in 1918. Each dose
of vaccine is reckoned as 4 c.c. About 44 per cent, of the output was despatch¬
ed to countries outside India. Major J. Taylor, D.S.O., I.M.S., wrote an
interesting report on the efficacy of anti-plague inoculation in Baghdad. The
142 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VIII..

epidemic was more severe in the eastern portion of the city, in which 56,997
persons were inoculated and 72,803 remained uninoculated. The attack rate
among the latter was 33 per 10,000, and among the former 3 per 10,000. The
death rate among uninoculated was 26*8 per 10,000 ; while among the inocu*
lated it was only 13.

The total number of rats received from the Health Department of the
City of Bombay came to 778,641 ; of these 544,348 were dead on arrival.
394,420 of the latter were examined for plague and 6,8oi were found to be
infected.

Functioning as a provincial bacteriological laboratory a large amount of


routine work in the examination of pathological fluids, discharges and tissues
of water, food stuffs, etc., was carried out.

The brains of 148 dogs and other animals were examined for rabies, and
a positive result was obtained in 95.

Vaccines.—37,525 doses of cholera: 164,965 doses of T. A. B.iand


50,750 doses of influenza vaccines were prepared. Autogeneous vaccines
were prepared for 101 cases.

Venom was collected periodically from cobras, and Russel’s vipers for
despatch to Kasauli.

Research.—The time of the staff was occupied mainly with influenza.

Lieutenanb-Colonel Glen Liston, before going on leave, prepared a report


in which he demonstrated the probability of one attack of influenza conferring
some immunity against a second attack.

The Enteric Depot which had been opened in the laboratory buildings in
July 1916 was closed in February 1919. During this period more than 2,000
patients were treated and examined. 49 carriers were detected. 13 of these
were definitely chronic and 36 ceased to be carriers within six months of the
commencement of illness. The majority of carriers were of B. Paratyphosis
* * A ’.

Educational.—Special demonstrations were arranged for students of high


schools, training colleges, etc., and a number of sets of lantern slides on plague,
tuberculosis and guineaworm were issued.

3,458 specimens were received for bacteriological examination and diagnosis.
These included 54 foetera for examination for spirochaetes. A positive result
was obtained in 11 instances. Towards the close of the year an attempt was
made to correlate the findings with the examination of the mother by means
of the Wassermann reaction. This showed that the failure to find spirochaetes
in the fcetera does not necessarily negative syphilis.

Research.-*No research work was undertaken owing to the demands made


by routine duties on the time of the staff.

Public health functions.—The routine duties consisted of the examination


of samples of food, drugs and water. The water supplies of the Presidency are
sampled once in each half-year. Research was continued into the effect of
reducing the layer of sand in sand filters. The topmost layer was reduced to
12 inches with satisfactory results by the introduction of a layer of flat tiles
between the two grades of sand. The effects of storage and sunlight were
also investigated : it was found that the maximum reduction is reached either
before or about the 8th day. No difference was noted between the combined
action of sunlight and storage and storage alone.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE OF INDIA, KASAULI.

6,509 persons received a full course of treatment, an increase of 829 over


the previous year. Of those who received treatment 87 or 1 *34 per cent, con¬
tracted the disease. Of these 18 died during the course of treatment. The
failure rate was o*68 per cent.

In the case of 446 persons, chiefly Europeans, treatment was not considered
necessary.

During the year a batch of 28 Armenians who had been bitten by a jackal in
Mesopotamia arrived for treatment 15 days after being bitten. Of these 16
had been bitten on the face. 5 died, two while under treatment, one within 15
days of discharge, and two subsequently. It is stated that 18 other persons,
who did not come for treatment were bitten at the same time ; of these 11
died. A trial was made of Tetrodotoxin in the treatment of cases of hydro-

PASTEUR INSTITUTE OF SOUTHERN INDIA, COONOOR.

The number of patients treated at this Institute from 1st March 1919 to
29th February 1920 was 3,172, which shows an increase of 347 over the
previous year. Of these 24 died 15 or more days after the completion of treat¬
ment and are classed as failures giving a rate of 0^75 per cent.
There were 60 patients who, for various reasons did not complete the treat-
ment and are, therefore, excluded from the above figures. 233 persons who
came for treatment were sent back without being treated as they were consider¬
ed to run no risk of infection.
Since the opening of the Institute in 1907, 18,430 patients have been
treated, and the rate of failure works out at 0*74 per cent. Inquiries on the
mortality due to rabies continued during the year. Of 186 persons who were
bitten by rabid animals and who did not undergo treatment 92 died of hydro¬
phobia.

1,438 persons presented themselves for treatment, and 1,406 underwent the
full course. Of these 7 died within 15 days of completing treatment, and 6
more than 15 days after completion. Two patients died of hydrophobia while
under treatment. Of 1,406 persons 15 died of hydrophobia, that is 1*07 per
cent, but in only 6 cases (0*43 per cent) could the treatment be said to have
failed.
Of the total cases 1,024 were bitten by dogs, 351 by jackals : and 23 by
cats.
26 per cent of the Indian patients were bitten by jackals : and 8 out of the
15 fatal cases were among these patients.

specimens examined was 3,382 as compared with 2,254 in 1918.
The new 12-bed ward for kala-azar referred to in last year’s report was
opened in November 1919. The use made of this ward is evidence of the
success and popularity of treatment by intravenous injections of tartar emetic.
The course of treatment at Shillong consists of the intravenous injection of 200
cgms of tartar emetic in one per cent solution over a period of 2J to 3 months.
The results indicate the possibility of cure in 75 per cent, whereas previously 90
percent or over died. Mrs. Adie worked throughout the year under the aus*
pices of the Indian Research Fund Association on the possibility of the trans¬
mission of kala-azar through the bed bug.
An inquiry was made into Naga Sore of which a severe outbreak was report¬
ed in the Assam Valley and the Surma Valley during the monsoon. An orga¬
nism morphologically and culturally similar to that associated with Vincent's
disease has been isolated. The investigation still continues.

A cocco-bacillus was isolated from cases of epidemic conjunctivitis and


a vaccine was prepared for issue.

The Institute has now completed three years of active life and the question
of its constitution is now under consideration.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE, BURMA, RANGOON.


The total number of patients received at the Institute during the year end¬
ing 31st March 1920 was 713 against 595 during the previous year. No
treatment was considered necessary in 212 cases, while 78 failed to complete
the full course. Of the remaining 423 treated cases, 148 were bitten by an
animal of proved rabidity. No death occurred among the cases treated, nor
has there been reported any failure.

The number of bacteriological and serological examinations made was


1,594 and that of histological examinations 87.

THE INDIAN RESEARCH FUND ASSOCIATION.


175. The activities of the Association continued to be interfered with by
the effects of post-war conditions. The following inquiries were prosecuted
during the year 1919-20.

The plague prevention inquiry at Poona under Dr. Chitre terminated in


November 1919. The Scientific Advisory Board felt that time had come to
put the results obtained into practice and the Bombay Government have sanc¬
tioned field experiments in Belgaum and Dharwar which are proceeding.

The inquiry into hookworm disease was continued by Dr. Mhaskar in


Madras. He has been studying the life history of the parasite and comparing
various methods for counting ova passed in dejecta. In conjunction with
Father Caius he has been investigating the chemical composition of various
drugs used for treatment. Four papers have already been published.

Mr. Awati’s entomological work at Nagpur terminated on 31st October


1919, when he went on six months’ leave. He has published three papers on
the bionomics of house flies. Major W. S. Patton, I.M.S., is conducting
special researches on entomology and protozoology.
Major Knowles, who was in charge of kala-azar inquiry in Assam, was
transferred to the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine. Mrs. Adie continued
to work at the development of the parasite causing the disease in the body of
the bug. Results of both workers will be published in due course.

Dr. Sudhamoy Ghosh continued his work on the preparation of various salts
of unsaturated fatty acids to be tried in the treatment of leprosy. Dr. E. Muir
will be engaged at Calcutta in connection with special researches into the
treatment of leprosy. Dr. K. K. Chatterji is experimenting with neem or
margosa oil and its derivatives and is trying copper margosate in the treat¬
ment of new growths. Further work has been done in the asylums belonging
to the Mission to Lepers in connection with treatment with chaulmoogra oil
and sodium gynocardate.

Lieutenant-Colonel McCarrison who was employed on investigations in


deficiency diseases proceeded on leave to England in January 1920. Ten sec¬
tions of his paper have been published in the Journal. The Governing Body
have agreed to finance further inquiries by him in England.

Captain Malone continued his investigations into the bacteriology of influ¬


enza; and also investigated an outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in Karachi.
146 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VIII.

Major Morison was appointed to conduct an inquiry into the epidemiology


of influenza in September 1919. On his departure on leave in April 1920 work
was continued by Major King. A paper written by Major Morison in conjunc¬
tion with Major McKendrick on ** The determination of incubation periods
from maritime statistics with particular reference to the incubation period of
influeuza” was published in the October 1919, number of the Journal.

Lieutenant-Colonel Greig went on leave in February 1919. The pathological


researches in Karachi were continued in his absence by Captain Maitra, I.M.S.,
till January 24, 1920, when the inquiry ceased owing to the demobilisation of
his hospital. Captain Maitra published a paper on “Observations on the Cultu¬
ral Methods of Gonococcus ”.

Dr. Norris’ researches terminated in November 1919. She submitted for


publication a paper on “ The preparation of a simplified culture media for field
workers

The investigations into the distribution of l\Jolluscs conducted by the


members of the Zoological Survey continued.

The Indian Journal of Medical Research completed its seventh year of


existence. The standard of contributions received was satisfactory and is evi«
dence of the value of the Indian Research Fund Association.

Appendix to section VIII*


REPORT OF YELLOW FEVER COMMITTEE,

Resolutions.

1. The Committee believes that at the present time yellow fever does not
exist in India. Certain fevers, however, sometimes associated with jaundice
and closely resembling yellow fever such as malaria, relapsing fever, and
icterohaemorohagic jaundice have been reported on a number of occasions
in India ; it is desirable, therefore, that the cause and nature of these fevers
should be carefully investigated whenever and wherever they occur with the
object of differentiating them from yellow fever.

2. The prevalence of the mosquito S. fasciata, which transmits the yellow


fever virus and the existence of a susceptible population in the chief sea-ports
of India, indicate that the introduction of this disease might be followed by
sudden virulent epidemics. Such epidemics would be very difficult to control,
would cause great embarrassment to coastal trade and maritime intercourse with
foreign countries and would seriously interfere with recruitment and military
movements at times of national emergency. ,

3. S. fasciata is present in India as in almost all maritime regions situated


within the parellel.400 N. and 40° S. and all ports within such limits must
be regarded in the present state of our knowledge as liable in varying degree
to introduction of the disease and its dissemination. The degree of risk
depends for the most part on the distribution of the disease at any selected
time and on the sanitary condition of the threatened area, especially with
regard to the prevalence of the mosquito stegomyia fasciata. At the present
time the danger is greatest iri—

(а) such ports on the American seaboard (including the Amazon) lying
between the parallels of approximately 220 N. and 220 S. as are
not subject to effective sanitary control of the disease ;

(б) ports on the West African coast from 150 N. to 150 S.

4. The danger to India at the present time is remote, but the risk will be
increased pari passu with the extension of the disease to ports nearer India.

5. (a) The protection of India from the introduction of dangerous epidemic


diseases depends primarily on a system of early notification of the outbreak
of such diseases in ports which are in maritime relation with India. Such
notification from ports in Asia, Australasia and Africa should be telegraphic,
and the Committee recommends that this system be adopted as soon as
possible.

ip) A central public health bureau in India to collect and collate informa¬
tion regarding the prevalence of dangerous epidemic diseases in countries
outside India and to disseminate this information to all public health authorities
in India is very necessary.

6. In view of the danger to India that would result from the extension of
infection from the existing endemic areas in W. Africa to the ports on the east
229DGIMS ' 2»
148 Annual report of the sanitary commissioner

coast of Africa and of the increased likelihood of this on the completion of the
trans-continental railway, the Committee considers that systematic efforts to
stamp out yellow fever from the endemic areas in W. Africa would materially
reduce the risk of infection reaching India.

7. As the safety of India depends largely on the freedom from yellow fever
of ports intermediate between India and the endemic areas, it is desirable that
the Governments of countries threatened by the possible extension of infection
should come to a general agreement as to measures, particularly anti-stegomyia
operations, which are necessary to render their ports free from the possibility of
the establishment of the disease. Further, in addition to the establishment of an
adequate system of inter notification of dangerous epidemic diseases, it is desir¬
able that information should be exchanged in regard to the actual sanitary con¬
dition of all ports (including shipping) with which India is in maritime relation,
and of the progress made from time to time.
• __

8. The Committee has passed unanimously the attached port health


regulations, in the drawing up of which it has been guided by the provisions
of the Paris Sanitary Convention of 1912. The main departure from the Con¬
vention consists in the addition of the words “ or if it has lain at an infected
port within 18 days of arrival to the definition of a suspected vessel.

In the light of existing knowledge it is not possible to lay down the exact
period of time during which a ship exposed to invasion by infected mosquitoes
must be considered to be a source of danger. Pending more complete enquiry
the Committee does not consider it advisable to make this less than the eigh¬
teen days generally recognised as necessary to detect cases arising from infect¬
ed mosquitoes that may be taken on board at an infected port. This brings the
modified regulation into line with the definition of the Paris Convention that a
place shall not be declared free from yellow fever for 18 days after isolation,
death or recovery of the last case of yellow fever.

9.. The Committee is of opinion that the existing arrangements in the


main ports of India are wholly inadequate to prevent the introduction of dan¬
gerous epidemic diseases, and considers that at each of the important ports
of ocean call a sanitary station should be established providing facilities for_

{a) moorings for infected or suspected ships,

(5) the isolation of the sick and observation of persons who do not
receive pratique,

(<?) fumigation and disinfection.

As article 42 of the Paris Convention lays down that “ every country must
provide at least one port on each of its seaboards ” with such facilities the
Committee recommends that, in accordance with this article, the minimum
immediate requirements of India necessitate the establishment of such fully
equipped stations at Bombay, Calcutta and Rangoon. The Committee thinks
that consideration shoqld be given at once to the possibility of increasing the
number of ports so equipped. If it should be found impracticable to equip
fully and at once a larger number of ports than specified, it is still desirable
that less elaborate schemes should be formulated and that those schemes
should be so planned as to be capable of ultimate expansion. Having regard
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 149

to the facts that with a voyage of 18 days* duration ships may enter the ports
of India from a considerable portion of the eastern hemisphere, and that it
is by no means impossible that some port or ports in this area, and on the East
African coast in particular, may at any time be notified as infected, it is essen¬
tial that the possibility of all Indian ports being ultimately called upon to deal
with yellow fever infected ships should be borne in mind.

10. The Committee is of opinion that no possible advantage is to be gain¬


ed from the establishment of sanitary stations on islands distant from the ports
they have to serve. Moreover, stations of this kind would prove to be most
unsuitable because (a) few islands can be found which are so situated as to be
free from danger to shipping during the cyclone season ; (b) the enforcement
of the regulations would necessitate the detention of the ship for at least seven
days which would seriously interfere with trade ; (<?) any measures short of
observation for the full period would involve the risk of cases developing during
the voyage between the island station and the port of destination and render
necessary a second station at the port of' destination or a return fcr further
treatment at the island station.

11. (a) In recommending sites for sanitary stations, the Committee has
given consideration to—

(1) possible interference with navigation of vessels,


*

(2) convenience of access so that there is the minimum delay to shipping


and inconvenience to passengers,

(3) the safety of the sea port town from infection from the sanitary
station,

(4) the conditions and surroundings of the site itself so far as they affect
the health of the inmates.

These points limit selection, and the committee finds that there is but one
site in each of the three specified ports which satisfies all requirements—
Butcher Island in the case of Bombay ; the Rajabaria site in Calcutta ; and the
present segregation camp in Rangoon—and strongly recommends the acquire¬
ment of these three sites for the establishment of sanitary stations,

(6) Butcher Island is at present occupied by a wireless station and an


ammunition depot. The Committee considers that, although immediate
removal is not essential, arrangements for their removal at the earliest possible
time is desirable.

Comparatively small alterations and repair of the existing buildings would


fit the island for early use as a sanitary station, provided plans are completed for
the rapid extension of accommodation should this appear likely to be necessary
and measures are taken to reduce stegomyia infestation to a minimum. The
Committee considers that the details should be worked out locally.

(c) The selection of the Rajabaria site for a sanitary station capable of
dealing with yellow fever infected ships is, in the opinion of the Committee,
contingent on the acquirement in the first instance of sufficient land. The
Committee recommends that the whole river frontage between the Indo-General
dockyard and the South Union Jute mill to a depth of about 440 yards be
1^0 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER
• *
* —

acquired. Extensive clearing of the land is necessary with a view to the carry¬
ing out of measures for keeping the area as free from the stegomyia mosquito
as is possible. Plans for the necessary buildings are being prepared locally
and should be completed as early as possible.

id) The site on which the segregation camp near Rangoon now stands is
low lying and unsuitable for buildings. The Committee considers that reclama¬
tion is necessary, and that the area to be acquired and reclaimed should extend
from the match factory to the telegraph hut, and to an average depth of 600
yards from the river frontage. The whole of this area would not be required
for the buildings in connection with the sanitary station, but the Committee is
of opinion that it is advisable to acquire and reclaim sufficient land to secure
an area free from buildings around the sanitary station and to insure its free¬
dom from mosquitoes.

(1e) The Committee considered in detail alternative sites for all three ports.
In Calcutta owing to difficulties connected with navigation there is no alterna¬
tive site which can be utilised for a sanitary station intended for all epidemic
diseases, including yellow fever. In Bombay there is one alternative site, a
portion of Hog Island, but the selection of this would lead to inconvenience
to passengers and delay tb the shipping, and there is also a possibility that
malaria might become a serious factor. In Rangoon a good site could be
secured at Elephant Point for dealing with yellow fever ships only ; but the
treatment of vessels infected with other diseases at this site would involve
grave inconvenience to shipping, while the absence of good communication
with Rangoon by road or rail presents a serious difficulty which could only be
met by heavy expenditure.

12. The Committee considers that the expenditure involved in fitting up


a sanitary station will be materially reduced if arrangement be made with the
sanitary authority concerned for the admission of persons suffering from
epidemic diseases into the infectious diseases hospital maintained by that
authority. The Committee is, however, of opinion that each important sani¬
tary station should include a protected building providing accommodation for
four yellow fever patients, and a separate protected building for the observa¬
tion of ten yellow fever suspects,

I3* The previous resolutions have been drawn up after consideration of the
suggestion to accommodate yellow fever cases, suspects and contacts in
specially fitted up hulks. The Committee is of opinion that a land site is In¬
finitely preferable, because the accommodation on a hulk is limited by the
capacity of the hulk and is incapable of expansion at short notice to meet a
sudden cemand. Moreover, the expense in maintaining these hulks will be
considerable and it is conceivable that they may be under repair when an emer¬
gency arises.

14. In view of the possibility of Government deciding that sanitary stations


should be established in the near future in connection with the ports of Madras
and Karachi, the Committee recommends that the land sites necessary for
these stations be acquired now. The Committee does not feel justified with
the information at its disposal in making a definite selection, but it appears that
in the case of Madras the selection will be limited to ground between Tiruvut*
your and Ennur.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 151

15. (a) In addition to these five main ports there are on the coast line of
India some 196 ports, 104 of which are in the Madras Presidency and 75 in
the Bombay Presidency. In the case of some of these ports vessels, the
majority of which appear to be sailing ships, trade with ports in the Straits
Settlements and in East Africa. The Committee recommends that a sanitary
survey of these ports, including accurate information relating to the trade rela-
tions of each and mosquito infestation be made at an early date. It will then
be possible to decide to what extent these ports contribute to the risk of the
introduction of dangerous epidemic diseases, especially yellow fever, to India,
and what measures are necessary to meet such danger.

(b) The Committee also considers it desirable that the whole question of
coastal traffic by ship between various Indian ports and estuaries requires care¬
ful investigation with a view to devising means for checking the possibility of
the spread of dangerous epidemic disease.

16. The Committee is of opinion that the most effective method of pro¬
tecting the ports of India from yellow fever is to keep them as free as possible
from stegomyia mosquitoes, and that it is undesirable to separate the work
required for the reduction of stegomyia from that of mosquito reduction
generally. Mosquito control can only be carried out by a properly directed
organisation working under a legally constituted sanitary authority. The
Committee, therefore, recommends that Government legislates—

(1) to appoint a sanitary authority for each port,

(2) to establish a properly directed organisation for the control of mos¬


quitoes in each of the larger sea-port towns,

' (3) to provide for contributions from Government revenues towards the
cost of these schemes,

(4) to secure the efficient carrying out of these schemes in the event of
failure on the part of any local authority.

The Committee recommends that Government require each local authority


in the sea-ports to prepare schemes for the control of mosquitoes. For the
sake of efficiency as well as economy it is desirable that adjoining local athor-
ities should prepare a conjoint scheme. An essential feature in the success of
a scheme is the appointment of a special officer for the control of the operations.
When the scheme has been approved by Government, the local authorities will
be eligible for the financial assistance provided by legislation. With a view to
meeting technical difficulties which arise in the execution of these schemes and
for guidance in carrying them out, it is very desirable that the services of the
experts attached to the Central Bureau of the Central Research Institute
should be placed freely at the disposal of the sanitary authorities. These
officers should have power to inspect the anti-mosquito work carried on in the
ports and port towns and will thus be in a position to advise Government on
the progress and efficiency of the work. Should it become evident to Govern¬
ment that their contribution to any scheme is not being spent to the best
advantage, it shall be open to Government to assume control of the operations,
the defaulting local authority still continuing to pay its share of the expendi¬
ture.
229DGIMS 2v
152 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

17. The Committee desires to endorse the opinion expressed in paragraph


22 of the Report of the Committee to consider Port Sanitary Administration in
England, and testate emphatically that in the reduction of the infestation of
vessels with rats reliance should be placed primarily on—

(«) properly organized rat campaigns on land ;


(b) periodic fumigation 01 vessels with holds empty.

The Committee recommends that every vessel trading between India and
European, American and Australasian ports be fumigated when the holds are
empty once on every round voyage. It understands that some shipping com¬
panies at the present time have made arrangements for this procedure.

18. In connection with the fumigation of ships, and with special reference
to the possible fumigation of ships with holds full for destruction of mosquitoes,
the Committee points out that at the present time the only available machine
is the Clayton apparatus for sulphurous acid gas, which cannot be used without
damage to certain cargo. The Committee has read the note on fumigation
with hydrocyanic gas written by Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Listen, C.I.E., but,
pending the result of further experiments, cannot express a definite opinion
with regard to the general adoption of this method of fumigation. Whatever
gas is used in the future for the fumigation of ships, the Committee wishes to
lay emphasis on the necessity for greater attention being paid to the through
ventilation of all holds. Without through ventilation of the cargo it is im¬
possible to fumigate efficiently a loaded ship, A note by Colonel Glen Liston
on the ventilation of ships is attached.

19. (#) In resolution No. 15, the Committee lias called attention to the
number of coastal towns in India defined as ports in the schedule attached to
the Indian Ports Act of 1908, and to the fact that some of these ports have
trade relations by sea-going vessels with ports in the Straits Settlements and
East Africa. Should these latter ports become infected with yellow fever in
the future, the danger of unprotected ports on the coast of India in maritime
relation with them does not need elaboration. It is clearly impracticable to
provide sanitary stations at all these ports, and the Committee is of opinion
that Government should have the power to declare fully equipped ports as first
ports of entry for vessels infected with dangerous epidemic disease. The Com¬
mittee suggests legislation on the lines of the following sections of the Quar¬
antine Act of the Commonwealth of Australia : —

Section 13 (1).— -The Governor-General may, by proclamation,

(a) declare any ports in Australia to be first ports of entry for oversea
vessels.

Section 13 (I-A.).*— The power to declare first ports of entry shall extend
to authorise the declaration of a port to be a first port of entry for all oversea
vessels from any particular place or for any class of oversea vessels.

Section 20.—The master of an oversea vessel arriving in Australia shall


not, unless from stress of weather or other reasonable* cause, suffer the vessel
to enter any port other than a port declared to be ?. first port of entry.

Penally.—Five hundred pounds.


WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 153

Section 77.—A pilot shall not, unless compelled by stress of weather or


other reasonable cause, conduct a vessel subject to quarantine into any place
other than the proper place for a vessel so subject.

Penalty.—Fifty pounds.

Section 78.—The master of an oversea vessel who, knowing that any


quarantinable disease exists on his vessel, suffers his vessel to enter a port,
other than a port declared to be a first port of entry, shall be guilty of an in¬
dictable Gffence, unless he proves that it was necessary for the vessel to enter
the port for the purpose of saving human life.

Penalty.—Three years’ imprisonment.

(1b) Captain Froilano de Mello suggests that foreign Governments possess¬


ing ports in India, which are not provided with sanitary stations equipped
for the reception of patients suffering from yellow fever, should be asked to
make special arrangements whereby vessels suspected to be infected with yellow
fever and bound for one of these ports should be forced to call at a port possess¬
ing an efficiently equipped sanitary station where it would be dealt with, before
proceeding to its original port of destination.

20. The Committee feels strongly that the defence of India from the intro¬
duction of dangerous epidemic diseases depends primarily on the sanitary
surveillance exercised over vessels during their stay in infected ports with
which India is in maritime relation, and that if absolute confidence could be
placed on the efficiency of this surveillance,, and on skilled and reliable medical
supervision throughout the voyage, there could be considerable relaxation of
the measures to be employed on tne ship’s arrival.

Bills of Health are designed to supply information relating to the sanitary


condition of the port and of the vessel on departure, but these Bills vary in
form and in value. The Quarantine Act of the United States of 1893
authorises the President “ to detail any medical officer of the Government to
serve in the office of the consul at any foreign port for the purpose of furnish¬
ing information and making the inspection and giving the Bill of Health.”
The Paris Convention resolved that “ the Governments should confer together
with a view to regulate Bills of Health.” Should such a system of mutual
trust and assistance between nations be impossible, it should be feasible within
the British Empire. Failing such arrangement the Committee recommends
that should yellow fever appear within eighteen days’ sail of India, the action
taken by the United States Government under the Quarantine Act of 1893
should be followed by the Government of India.

21. The Committee supports the suggestion of the Government of Bombay


that section 6 of the Indian Ports Act should be amended so as to permit of
the inspection of vessels and the taking of measures whereby the breeding of
mosquitoes shall'be prevented.

REGULATIONS.

A vessel shall be regarded as infected if there is yellow fever on board, or


if there has been a case on board within seven days of arrival.
154 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

A vessel shall be regarded as suspected if there has been a case of yellow


fever on board at the time of departure or during the voyage, but no fresh
cases within seven days, or if it has lain at a port infected with yellow fever
within 18 days of arrival.

A vessel shall be regarded as healthy if there has been no case either at


the time of departure or during a voyage which has lasted at least 18 days and
which has not touched at an infected port within 18 days of arrival.

j. There shall be medical inspection of every vessel which has started from
or during the voyage called at a port infected with yellow fever.

2. In the case of infected vessels the following measures shall be taken I—

(а) The sick shall be disembarked under protection from the bites of
mosquitoes, and shall be efficiently isolated.

(б) There shall be a visual and thermometer inspection of all other


persons on board, and any person exhibiting a rise of temperature
above 99-4° F. shall be treated as under (a).

(c) The remaining persons shall be disembarked and kept under observa¬
tion during a period which shall not exceed six days from the time
of arrival.

[d) The vessel shall be moored if possible at least 220 yards from the
shore, and from other vessels and harbour boats.

(<?) The vessel shall be fumigated for the destruction of mosquitoes


before the discharge of cargo, if possible. If fumigation be not
possible before the discharge of the cargo, the discharge of cargo
shall be under the supervision of the Port Health Officer, and
may be permitted if the persons employed in unloading are kept
under observation during the discharging of cargo and for six
days, to date from the last day of exposure on board.

3, A suspected vessel shall undergo the measures laid down under 2 (d)
and (e) before the granting of pratique provided that in the case of a vessel
which, in the opinion of the Port Health Officer, has been efficiently fumigated
at the time of departure from the infected port or subsequently, further
fumigation on arrival shall be unnecessary.

2 (c) shall be applied in the case of all vessels which have been less than
18 days on the voyage provided that the period of detention of passengers and
crew does not extend beyond the 18th day after departure from the infected
port, and is subject to a maximum of six days under observation and provided
that, if the vessel has been efficiently fumigated since last leaving an infected
port, the period of observation shall count from date of fumigation.

4. A healthy vessel shall be granted full pratique subsequent to medical


inspection.

A NOTE ON THE FUMIGATION OF SHIPS.


There are two important matters with which everyone who has to deal
with the fumigation of ships must be familiar— (1) the division of ships into
bulkhead compartments and (2) the ventilation of ships.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. I55

Bulkheads.—The term bulkhead is used indifferently for all vertical


partitions in a ship. Bulkheads serve three useful purposes

(1) they serve as water tight divisions,

(2) they serve as fire screens,


«

(3) they serve as structural draphragins.

Bulkheads must extend well above the sea level. Lloyds rules regarding
bulkheads may be summed up as follows :—

Steamers under 220 feet in length require only a collision and after peak
bulkhead the machinery space which is always enclosed between bulkheads
giving four or three according as the machinery is amidships or at the stern.

A steamer more than 220 feet must have at least four bulkheads.

A steamer 285 feet long and under 335 feet must have five bulkheads.

A steamer 335 feet long and under 405 feet must have six bulkheads.

A steamer 405 feet long and under 470 feet must have seven bulkheads.

A steamer 470 feet long and under 540 feet must have eight bulkheads.

A steamer 540 feet long and under 610 feet must have nine bulkheads.

A steamer 610 feet long and under 680 feet must have ten bulkheads.

The Bulkhead Committee of 1912 have decided that no compartment


in any vessel should be longer than 92 feet and that none should be shorter
than 10 feet except the fore*peak in vessels shorter than 200 feet. As
regards the sub-division of vessels to prevent the spread of fire the Interna¬
tional Convention for the safety of fire at sea requires that in passenger vessels
the hull above the bulkhead deck shall be divided by fire proof bulkheads
placed not further apart than 131 feet and that all openings in these bulkheads
shall be provided with fire proof doors.

As a general rule the watertight bulkheads cut off entirely the adjoining
compartments so that to pass from one to another a man must go on deck and
descend the hatchways. A direct communication may be established by
fitting watertight doors in bulkheads. These doors can always be effectively
closed. All ships, therefore, can be fumigated in sections which are not
generally longer than 100 feet.
Ventilation.—The arrangements for ventilating the different compartments
of a vessel vary greatly. In high class vessels elaborate ventilating arrange¬
ments may be made, but in other vessels the arrangements may be quite
elementary. Many cargoes are of such a nature as not to be effected by or
themselves affect the condition of the air surrounding them and in such
cases whether or not the holds are ventilated does not matter. Delicate cargoes,
however, such as grain and fruit, which are apt to decompose, require a
constant supply of fresh air for their preservation, particularly if they are to
be long confined in the hold.
In cargo steamers at least one cowl ventilator is fitted at each end of
each hold, the one serves as a downcast and the other as an uptake. In many
229DGIMS ' 2v
156 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

cases two pairs are provided in each hold. If through ventilation of the cargo
is required, one of the two ventilators must be extended to the bottom of the
hold, for when both stop at the deck the fresh air, choosing the shortest route
to the outlet, passes straight fore and aft over the top of the cargo and
leaves comparatively undisturbed air at the bottom of the hold ; but this is
rarely done for with most cargoes surface ventilation is found to be sufficient.
Ventilation for bulk cargoes liable to heat such as rice is often provided by
interposing in the midst of the bales or bags a sort of open work of tubes
roughly made of wood about ten feet long by nine inches square. These
tubes are placed vertically and horizontally at intervals among the cargo so
as to allow air to pass in ail directions. With grain and other cargoes
requiring very thorough ventilation a trunk way having air holes in its side
is led fore and aft at the bottom of the hold and a downcast ventilator is led
into it so that the air passing along the trunk way and escaping by the
apertures may be distributed all over the bottom of the hold; a similar arrange¬
ment has been adopted to distribute cold air in holds which carry frozen
meat.

Our present knowledge of such important epidemic diseases as plague


and yellow fever goes to show that their spread to healthy ports can only be
prevented if a ship and its cargo can be thoroughly fumigated. Through
ventilation of the cargo (on some system such as that described above) is
necessary if a ship is to be satisfactorily fumigated without unloading it. In
the majority of ships a simple modification of the existing arrangements to
effect through ventilation of the cargo could easily be devised. The attention
of Government should be drawn to the fact that while rules have been made
and are enforced for the ventilation of all parts of ships used by passengers
or crew, no attention has been paid to the ventilation of those parts of a ship
in which cargo is stored. While such rules are unnecessary for the preserv¬
ation of cargoes, they are required in order that an infected ship may be
fumigated without removing the cargo. The danger of communicating
infection to a healthy port by an infected ship which cannot be fumigated
before unloading is very great, and the cost of unloading a single ship for this
purpose would more than pay for the constructional modifications of the
existing arrangements for ventilating the hold to effect through ventilation
of the cargo in meny ships.

SANITARY WORKS

INDIA.

152. Out of a sum of Rs. 8,67,000 at the disposal of the Government of India
during 1918-19 for sanitary purposes grants were made to the extent of Rs. 8,66,900.
Rs. 4,50,000 were given for the improvement of sanitary arrangements in connection
with pilgrim centres in Madras, Bombay, the United Provinces and Bihar and Orissa;
Rs. 1,00,000 for Badrinath-Kedarnath pilgrim route; Rs. 1,32,000 for Dhar
Housing Scheme, Simla, and Rs. 50,000 for certain sanitary improvements in
Delhi.

The following paragraphs contain information regarding sanitary works carried


out or in progress in the several provinces :—

BENGAL.

153. The number of municipalities in 1918-19 remained unchanged. The total


income, excluding the opening balance of Rs. 16,84,481 and extraordinary and
debts amounting to Rs. 7,69,222, was Rs. 64,52,693 as compared with Rs. 58,62,251
during the previous year. The net income was equivalent to Rs. 3-2 per head of
population. The total receipts from all sources including the opening balance
amounted to Rs. 89,06,396 against Rs. 83,58,974.

The total municipal expenditure on sanitation amounted to Rs. 32,90,220, or 36^9


of the total receipts, and included Rs. 16,77,564 for conservancy, Rs. 8,01,811
for water supply, Rs. 2,66,422 for drainage and Rs. 2,74,387 for treatment of
the sick.

The expenditure on sanitation amounted to Rs. i*6 per head of population ;


or, if construction of roads be included, to Rs. 2.

A lamp grant of Rs. 13,70,000 was allotted by the Government of Bengal for
expenditure on sanitary works during 1919-20 : the chief items being Dacca sewerage
scheme Rs. 3,00,000; Krishnagar water supply scheme, Rs. 1,25,000; Amta
drainage scheme Rs. 1,00,000; anti-malarial works in connection with irrigation
department Rs. 1,94,000 ; Midnapur water supply Rs. 73,000, and distribution
of quinine Rs. 50,000. The Dacca sewerage project is estimated to cost Rs. 30
lakhs, towards which Government has promised a grant of Rs. 25 lakhs.

The total cost of sanitary works executed by all agencies during 1988-19
amounted to Rs. 13,01,709 against Rs. 14,25,040 during the previous year. 128
septic tank latrines, including five new installations, were working during the year.
These latrines were regularly inspected. Some difficulty was experienced in sterilis¬
ing the effluents before discharge into the river, but it is expected that this will
be overcome in the near future.
2290G1MS 2N
Annual report of the sanitary commissioner [Section VI f.
13°

A special Deputy Sanitary Commissioner with a travelling laboratory was


appointed to enquire into the causes of pollution of the river Hooghly. A river
length of 29 miles was surveyed before the end of the year, but further work
remains to be done.

Prior to the passage of the village self-Government Act sanitation in rural areas
was under the control of District Boards. Now certain village committees will
possess sanitary duties and the power of levying rates to meet the necessary
expenditure. In recent years increasing amounts have been disbursed by district
boards for the improvement of water supplies. During 1919 over 6\ lakhs of rupees
were spent on the construction of new tanks and wells in rural areas, and over Rs.
63,ooo for the upkeep of existing tanks and wells.

The revenue of district boards is insufficient fcr the public health needs of the
population, and the Sanitary Commissioner of the Province points out that advance
is being hampered by the “practice of devoting a large proportion of general
revenue to items of capital expenditure which might legitimately be met from
loans”. The need for more money is very urgent for, without funds it will be
impossible to deal adequately with cholera which in 1919 attacked nearly 16,000
villages.

154. Sanitary Board.—The Board met nine times in the year and considered
six sketch projects for water supply and drainage involving a total estimated cost
of Rs. 7,32,430. Four detailed schemes for water supply involving an expenditure-
of Rs. 7,17,131 were also submitted to Government for final approval.

Amongst others the following miscellaneous questions came before the Board
for consideration.

1. Notes on proposal for enabling malaria epidemics to be foreseen and


mitigated, by Sir Leonard Rogers and Dr. Bentley.

2. Influence of railway construction on public health.

3. Distribution of the quinine grant from Government.

4. Malaria survey of the Arool and Bookbhora bils drainage areas, etc.

5. Malaria in Birnagar and in villages Bhatjungla and Dignagar in the Nadia


district.

6. Working scheme for the distribution of quinine in rural areas.

ASSAM.

155. There were 15 municipalities and 10 unions during the year. No informa¬
tion as to income and expenditure was received from two unions. The total
income during 1959 of the remaining municipalities and unions, including the
opening balance of last year, amounted to Rs. 7,64,093 as compared with
Rs. 8,07,202 in the preceding year. Of this a sum of Rs. 3,27,577 or 42*87 per
cent was spent on different sanitary works and included Rs. 1,91,565 on conservancy,
Rs. 87,907 on water supply and Rs. 30,018 on drainage against Rs. 1,76,773,
Rs. 1,51,748 and Rs. 16,466, respectively, in 19!8. The decrease under water supply
was due to the inclusion in the figure fcr 1918 of the cost of the completion of
the Sylhet water works.
Sanitary Works.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919 13

A total expenditure of Rs. 67,964 was incurred by the Public Works Department

1917.

156. Sanitary Board.—One meeting of the Board was held, all other business
having been transacted by the circulation of files and notes. Sketch projects were
considered in connection with the improvement of Gauhati water works, augmenta¬
tion of the water supply of Shillong, remodelling the Tura water works and the
extension of the Haflong water works. The following rough projects were considered
and forwarded to Government for administrative approval :r~

(a) reclamation of certain insanitary tanks in Gauhati at an estimated


cost of Rs. 2,74,965,

(b) proposals for the organisation of public health administration in rural areas,

tion during 1918-19, was Rs. 3,96,101 dr 32 per cent of income. The amount
spent on sanitation was under one pice per head of population.

158. Sanitary Board.—The Board was reconstituted during the year, and now
consists of 6 official and 5 non-official nominated members. In addition to its
advisory functions the Board has certain administrative powers in connection with
the distribution of grants to local bodies for sanitary purposes and the supervision
of projects during construction. The work of the Board is facilitated by the forma¬
tion of two sub committees one to deal with sanitary projects and the other with
public health questions. The Board met five times during 1919-20. Among others
the following questions were dealt with :—•

(a) A report by a sub-committee of the Bengal Sanitary Board on depreciation

Under the Board’s careful policy the introduction of sewerage schemes is being
skilfully regulated and water supply problems are receiving attention and financial
assistance.

Lahore.—A new tube well was sunk in the Davids road, and yields about 30,000
gallons an hour. The average daily quantity of water pumped in June has risen

most of the municipal committees exhibit apathy and indifference to sanitary
improvement.

The total receipts in villages under the Village Sanitation Act amounted to
Rs. 2,85,436 and expenditure to Rs. 2,68,497. The receipts of the Town fund and
other villages under Mukaddam Rules were Rs. 59,081 and expenditure Rs. 61,224:

MADRAS.

166. The provisions of the District Municipalities Act were extended to the
major union of Villupuram thus raising the number of municipalities from 73 to 74.
The aggregate population of these municipalities is 2,799,530. Of the total
income during 1918-19 Rs. 29,753122 were set apart for sanitary works of which
Rs. 28,05,870 or just over Re. 1 per head, were actually spent. The allotment
for 1919-20 was Rs. 32,63,874, of this sum Rs. 22,08,600 were expended up to
December 31st, 1919. Of the total allotment Rs. 4,92,160 was ear-marked for
the improvement of water supply, the remainder being allocated to conservancy,
construction and repair of drains, markets, slaughter houses, etc.

The water supplies for Ellore and Erode, were completed during the year. 6
schemes were under execution, and improvements were made to 5 others.
Ootacamund still remains the only municipality which possesses a completed
drainage system.

The drainage schemes in Madura and Vellore wrere under execution during
the year. One scheme was sanctioned during the year, i.e., Kumbakonam
(Part 1 conservancy lanes).

Some activity wTas evident in the provision of public latrine accommodation of


an improved type. There are still many public latrines of an insanitary type, but
they are being gradually replaced.

In district boards the total assignment for sanitation during 1919-20 amounted
to Rs. 17,74,860 which was 26*4 per cent of the income, the expenditure during
the nine months of the official year being Rs. 8,12,495. The allotment and ex¬
penditure for the full year 1918-19 were Rs. 16,10,363 and Rs. 10,53,609, res¬
pectively. No material progress was noticeable in respect of water supply and
drainage, the chief difficulty being the lack of funds. It is hoped the amended
Local Boards Act and the efforts that are being made by the Health and Welfare
Associations to spread a knowledge of sanitation will improve matters.

167. Sanitary Board.—The powers of final approval to schemes vested in the


Board was raised in respect of the financial limit from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 50,000.

A revised programme of major sanitary schemes in order of urgency was


submitted to Government and approved. 4 type designs with schedules and
specifications were circulated to local authorities.

13 schemes, estimated to cost Rs. 73,97,880, were received during the year.
9 schemes, the aggregate cost of which amounted to Rs. 3,91,600 were examined
by the Board. 4 schemes estimated to cost Rs. 70,06,280 were referred to the
Chief Engineer for technical scrutiny.

7 schemes estimated to cost Rs. 3,38,800 in the aggregate were finally ap¬
proved by the Board during the year, and 5 being beyond the Board’s financial
powers were submitted to Government.

Bombay.

168. The number of mufussil municipalities during 1919 was 156 with a
combined population of 2,384,505. Their combined income, excluding Viramgaon*

*
136 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [SectionVII.

amounted to Rs. 1,58,30,947 of which Rs. 77,36,710 were raised by taxation.


The incidence of taxation per head of population averaged Rs. 3-4-0 against
Rs. 2-9-0 in 1918. The expenditure on public health measures in Karachi city
was Rs. 8 per head and averaged slightly over Rs. 2 in the mufussil municipalities.
In Bombay city the figure was about Rs. 10 per head.

The combined income of 26 Districts and 215 Taluka Local Boards was
Rs. 88,49,132. Of this a sum of Rs. 4,70,225 was spent on communications and
only Rs. 38,509 on public health work. The incidence of income per head of
population was 86 annas.

The imperial and provincial grants during the year amounted to Rs. 700,000
and Rs. 8,24,000, respectively, and were utilised mainly to improve communications
and water supplies. The Government of Bombay also sanctioned a grant of Rs.
1,00,000 in aid of village water supplies, which was supplemented by allotments from
Local Funds and popular contributions. This money was expended in the construc¬
tion of wells and tanks, troughs and cisterns, in repairing old wells, deepening existing
tanks, in boring and jumper operations and in closing step-wells. The policy of
closing step-wells has caused a marked difference in the incidence of guineaworm
disease.

The total income of Notified Area Committees (population 1,40,366) was


Rs. 4,88,828, including the opening balance, of which Rs. 3,41,239 was spent on
sanitary works.

The income of Village Sanitary Boards during the year aggregated Rs. 5,005
of which Rs. 1,339 were raised by popular contribution, and expenditure
Rs. 3,422.

During the year 44 new Sanitary Committees were formed which raised their
total number to 505. Their aggregate income amounted to Rs. 5 ,66,065 and
expenditure to Rs. 2,91,141.

169. Sanitary Board.—Four regular meetings and ©ne special meeting were
held during the year.

Of the amount of Rs. 1,00,000 placed at the disposal of the Board Rs. 94,050
was allotted. Plans and estimates for 50 schemes amounting to Rs. 2,06,234
were approved and sanctioned by the Board. The Government of Bombay also
sanctioned a total sum of Rs. 91,081 as grants-imaid to certain municipalities for
sanitary works, and Rs. 2,15,434 for work in connection with boring for sub-
artesian water.

The following were the more important works in connection with water
supply : improvements to Karachi water works at a cost of Rs. 1,92,858 : two new
settling tanks at Hyderabad : an emergency water supply for the Kirkee canton¬
ment at a cost of Rs. 1,40,147: progress on the Ahmednagar water supply,
expenditure during year Rs. 1,54,358.

Minor drainage works were carried out in Karachi, Hyderabad, Poona,


Alandi, and Dhond. Boring operations for artesian water supplies were in progress
in Kaira, Dhobra, Bavla and Nadiad, while in five places bores were put
down to ascertain the possibilities of water supplies or to test for founda¬
tions.

170. The total expenditure of municipalities on sanitary works during 1918-19


was Rs. 53,15,909, of which Rs. 18,15,413 were spent on water supply, Rs. 15,52,872
on conservancy, Rs. 5,58,154 on drainage and Rs. 13,79,470 on other sani¬
tary works.

Progress was reported with regard to 17 water supply and 13 drainage pro¬
jects. Thirty bazzar schemes were examined and reported on.

Out of a total recurring grant of 7 lakhs during the financial year 1919-20
Rs. 17,745 were spent on jungle clearing in three towns, Rs. 52,860 on coolies shel¬
ters and drainage improvement in Rangoon and Rs. 418 on tube well in Henzada.

The total aggregate income of the District Boards was Rs. 90,25,002 : of
this Rs. 5>,3>957» or 5'^ Per cent, were expended on sanitary works. Water
su.pply claimed Rs. 34,759; drainage Rs, 7,436 ; conservancy Rs. 2,01,571, and
other sanitary works Rs. 2,70,191.

171. Sanitary Board.—The Board met twice during the year, once at Mergui,
and once at Namtre.

MILITARY WORKS.

172. During 1919-20, there was a decrease in the expenditure on ordinary original
military works, viz., drainage, conservancy, water supply, hospitals, etc., Rs.
11,58,809, compared with Rs. 12,17,155 in 1918-19. Of this sum, above four
lakhs were spent on water supply and Rs. 5,93,674 on hospitals. The expenditure
on repairs excluding hospitals was Rs. 16,95,337 against Rs. 9,92,997 in 1918-19.
On special military works under the same heads a sum of Rs. 28,80,146 was
expended as compared with Rs. 12,27,971 in the previous year.

SECTION VIII.

GENERAL REMARKS-
173. Progress during the year was undoubtedly hampered by the shortage cf
medical personnel due to military needs and the necessity of giving officers leave
after the strain of the previous years. The Conferences held in 1919, and which
received notice in the report for 1918, paved the way for advance; some action
has already been taken on the recommendations made. Thus, the modifi¬
cations in the statistical statements took effect from the 1st January 1920:
weekly statements relating to the prevalence of the chief epidemic diseases
and to vital statistics in the chief towns are issued: in some Provinces the
Sanitary Commissioner and his Deputies have been appointed additional
inspectors under the Indian Factories Act; and the question of the formation
of Health Boards is under consideration.

The “ yellow fever ” danger brought into prominence the faulty provision
at the principal ports for dealing with che introduction of infection by shipping.
The Government of India appointed a Committee to deal exhaustively with
the subject, and this Committee met in February 1920. The resolutions
passed by this Committee have been accepted by the Government of India
and will bear fruit in future.

It will be noticed chat the Committee also dealt with the prevention of the
exportation of the infection of bubonic plague through plague infected rats.
This was necessitated by the comparatively frequent occurrence of plague on
ships arriving in foreign countries. The history of two voyages is detailed as
being of exceptional interest.

The S. S. “ Nankin ” left Bombay on May 3rd, 1919 afrer a stay in


Bombay of 17 days. The cargo consisted of seeds and sundries.
Between the 5th and 7th idem a fireman went sick. As plague was suspected
the fireman and another man were removed at Aden. The disease was subse»
quently shown not to have been plague. The ship remained in London from
May 30th to June 26th, during which period the health of the crew was good.
Many healthy looking rats were caught or killed during this period. Between
London and Marseilles one dead rat was caught in a cage. On leaving
Marseilles on July 6th the first definite evidence of unusual rat mortality was
obtained, and the first human case of plague occurred on July 10th. The
possibilities were an infection of the rats at Bombay, Port Said or London.
If Bombay gave the infection, the infection must have remained latent for some
two months.

The S. S. “Moora” left Bombay on May 1st, 1919,' after a stay of 15


days in port. She was used as an ambulance transport, and arrived
in London on June 18th, where she lay ahead of and at the same wharf
shed as the S. S. “ Nankin.” On June 20th she left for Gravesend and
sailed from Gravesend on July 2nd. No evidence of dead rats was
229DGIMS 2D
140 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VIIf.
V

obtained, but on July ioth a human case of plague was discovered. Here
again if infection was taken on board during the stay in Bombay the latent
period was over two months.

With the facts at their disposal the Committee concluded that the prevention
of the access of rats to ships is undlr present times impracticable, and that
the protection of ships from rat plague depends mainly on the efficient periodic
deratization of ships, provided that a suitable gas for fumigation is found and
that efficient ventilation of the holds of ships is secured.

Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Liston, C.I.E., I.M.S., has for years been working,
with funds provided by the Indian Research Fund Association, on a machine
for the use of hydrocyanic gas; during a deputation to England he perfected
his machine, and the Government of India have allocated funds for the
purchase of sufficient machines for an efficient trial.

LABORATORIES.

THE CENTRAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE, KASAULI.


«

174. Lieutenant-Colonel W. F. Harvey, I.M.S., held charge throughout the


year.

Major Cunningham, I.M.S., Assistant Director, on appointment in March


as Director of the King Institute of Preventive Medicine at Guindy was relieved
by Major Cragg, I.M.S. Major Christophers, C.I.E., O.B.E., I.M.S., took
the place of Major H. C. Brown, C.I.E., I.M.S., who left Kasauli on combined
leave in October. The special sections of the Institute remained closed for
want of officers to hold charge. The staff was mainly occupied during the
year in the preparation of vaccines and antisera.

The issues of prophylactic vaccines were greatly in excess of the previous


year, and reached 2,786,415 c. cs. for cholera, 1,290,966 c. cs. for T. A. B.
and 1,055,726 c. cs. for influenza. The total excess over the 1918 issue being
more than two million c. cs. In addition curative vaccines were prepared,
and the usual routine work in connection with the supply of cultures and
materials for serological tests and the pathological examination of material was
conducted.
»

106,080 c. cs. of antivenene, 3,7co c. cs, of normal horse serum and 676
c. cs. of high titre agglutinating sera were issued. These issues were also in
considerable excess over 1918.

The expansion in the issue of vaccines absorbed the available accommoda¬


tion in the Institute and extensions are urgently required. Plans for extensions
have been drawn up and funds have been allotted.
The heavy routine duties naturally handicapped the limited staff in carrying
out original research. The following papers, published in the Indian Journal of
Medical Research indicate the problems with which the members of the staff
were able to deal :—

Major Cragg is engaged on the examination of rat fleas to determine their


species and to obtain data for their seasonal prevalence in special reference to
the immunity of certain areas from epidemics of plague.

During the year the Government of India decided to issue prophylactic


vaccines for cholera, the typhoid group, and influenza at the almost nominal
price of two annas per c.c. This decision is likely to have important results in
popularising the use of these vaccines among civil communities.

THE BOMBAY BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY..

Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Liston, C.I.E., I.M.S., Director of the Laboratory,


left on March 9th on leave to England and on that date Major J. C. G.
Kunhardt, I.M.S., assumed acting charge.

Plague work.—Owing to the lessened incidence of plague the output of


anti-plague vaccine fell to 1,011,175 doses from i,543>°99 'n Each dose
of vaccine is reckoned as 4 c.c. About 44 per cent, of the output was despatch¬
ed to countries outside India. Major J. Taylor, D.S.O., I.M.S., wrote an
interesting report on the efficacy of anti-plague inoculation in Baghdad. The
142 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER [Section VIII.

epidemic was more severe in the eastern portion of the city, in which 56,997
persons were inoculated and 72,803 remained uninoculated. The attack rate
among the latter was 33 per 10,000, an-d among the former 3 per 10,000. The
death rate among uninoculated was 26*8 per 10,000 ; while among the inocu¬
lated it was only 1*3.

The total number of rats received from the Health Department of the
City of Bombay came to 778,641 ; of these 544,348 were dead on arrival.
394,420 of the latter were examined for plague and 6,801 were found to be
infected.

Functioning as a provincial bacteriological laboratory a large amount of


routine work in the examination of pathological fluids, discharges and tissues
of water, food stuffs, etc., was carried out.

The brains of 148 dogs and other animals were examined for rabies, and
a positive result was obtained in 95.

Vaccines.—-37,525 doses of cholera: 164,965 doses of T. A. B.:and


50,750 doses of influenza vaccines were prepared. Autogeneous vaccines
were prepared for 101 cases.

Venom was collected periodically from cobras, and Russel’s vipers for
despatch to Kasauli.
\ ^

Eesearch.—The time of the staff was occupied mainly with influenza.

Lieutenant?Colonel Glen Liston, before going on leave, prepared a report


in which he demonstrated the probability of one attack of influenza conferring
some immunity against a second attack.

The Enteric Depot which had been opened in the laboratory buildings in
July 1916 was closed in February 1919. During this period more than 2,000
patients were treated and examined. 49 carriers were detected. 13 of these
were definitely chronic and 36 ceased to be carriers within six months of the
commencement of illness. The majority of carriers were of B. Paratyphosis
“A”.

jEducational.—Special demonstrations were arranged for students of high


schools, training college's, etc., and a number of sets of lantern slides on plague,
tuberculosis and ^uineaworm were issued.

THE KING INSTITUTE, MADRAS.

(Microbiological Section.)

On the 1st April Major J. Cunningham, I.M.S., took over charge of the
institute from Dr. F. Maitland Gibson.

Bacterial vaccines.—98,267 doses were supplied including 47,545 c* cs. of


cholera and 35,499 c. cs. of influenza.

427,063 c. cs. of influenza vaccine were prepared for issue should occasion
arise for its use.
General Remarks.] WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 143

3,458 specimens were received for bacteriological examination and diagnosis.


These included 54 foetera for examination for spirochaetes. A positive result
was obtained in 11 instances. Towards the close of the year an attempt was
made to correlate the findings with the examination of the mother by means
of the Wassermann reaction. This showed that the failure to find spirochaetes
in the foetera does not necessarily negative syphilis.

Research.-*No research work was undertaken owing to the demands made


by routine duties on the time of the staff.

• Rtiblic health functions.—The routine duties consisted of the examination


of samples of food, drugs and water. The water supplies of the Presidency are
sampled once in each half-year. Research was continued into the effect of
reducing the layer of sand in sand filters. The topmost layer was reduced to
12 inches with satisfactory results by the introduction of a layer of flat tiles
between the two grades of sand. The effects of storage and sunlight were
also investigated : it was found that the maximum reduction is reached either
before or about the 8th day. No difference was noted between the combined
action of sunlight and storage and storage alone.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE OF INDIA, KASAULI.

6,509 persons received a full course of treatment, an increase of 829 over


the previous year. Of those who received treatment 87 or 1*34 per cent, con-

tracted the disease. Of these 18 died during the course of treatment. The
failure rate was o*68 per cent.

In the case of 446 persons, chiefly Europeans, treatment was not considered
necessary.

During the year a batch of 28 Armenians who had been bitten by a jackal in
Mesopotamia arrived for treatment 15 days after being bitten. Of these 16
had been bitten on the face. 5 died, two while under treatment, one within 15
days of discharge, and two subsequently. It is stated that 18 other persons,
who did not come for treatment were bitten at the same time : of these 11
died. A trial was made of Tetrodoto:xin in the treatment of cases of hydro-
phobia. The drug does not appear to prolong life, but is efficacious in allaying

PASTEUR INSTITUTE OF SOUTHERN INDIA, COONOOR.

The number of patients treated at this Institute from 1st March 1919 to
29th February 1920 was 3,172, which shows an increase of 347 over the
previous year. Of these 24 died 15 or more days after the completion of treat¬
ment and are classed as failures giving a rate of 0^75 per cent.
There were 60 patients who, for various reasons did not complete the treat¬
ment and are, therefore, excluded from the above figures. 233 persons who
came for treatment were sent back without being treated as they were consider¬
ed to run no risk of infection.
Since the opening of the Institute in 1907, 18,430 patients have been
treated, and the rate of failure works out at 0*74 per cent. Inquiries on the
mortality due to rabies continued during the year. Of 186 persons who were
bitten by rabid animals and who did not undergo treatment 92 died of hydro¬
phobia.

1,438 persons presented themselves for treatment, and 1,406 underwent the
full course. Of these 7 died within 15 days of completing treatment, and 6
more than 15 days after completion. Two patients died of hydrophobia while
under treatment. Of 1,406 persons 15 died of hydrophobia, that is 1*07 per
cent, but in only 6 cases (0-43 per cent) could the treatment be said to have
failed.
Of the total cases 1,024 were bitten by dogs, 351 by jackals : and 23 by
cats.
26 per cent of the Indian patients were bitten by jackals : and 8 out of the
15 fatal cases were among these patients.
Bacteriological Besearch Institute Section.—The number of pathological
specimens examined was 3>3^2 as compared with 2,254 *9* 8.
The new 12-bed ward for kala-azar referred to in last year’s report was
opened in November 1919. The use made of this ward is evidence of the
success and popularity of treatment by intravenous injections of tartar emetic.
The course of treatment at Shillong consists of the intravenous injection of 200
cgms of tartar emetic in one per cent solution over a period of 2\ to 3 months.
The results indicate the possibility of cure in 75 per cent, whereas previously 90
percent or over died. Mrs. Adie worked throughout the year under the aus*
pices of the Indian Research Fund Association on the possibility of the trans¬
mission of kala-azar through the bed bug.
An inquiry was made into Naga Sore of which a severe outbreak was report¬
ed in the Assam Valley and the Surma Valley during the monsoon. An orga¬
nism morphologically and culturally similar to that associated with Vincent’s
disease has been isolated. The investigation still continues.

A cocco-bacillus was isolated from cases of epidemic conjunctivitis and


a vaccine was prepared for issue.

A vaccine section was opened in July 1919. The output of vaccines during

treatment was considered necessary in 252 cases, while 78 failed to complete
the full course. Of the remaining 423 treated cases, 148 were bitten by an
animal of proved rabidity. No death occurred among the cases treated, nor
has there been reported any failure.

The number of bacteriological and serological examinations made was


1,594 and that of histological examinations 87.

THE INDIAN RESEARCH FUND ASSOCIATION.


175. The activities of the Association continued to be interfered with by
the effects of post-war conditions. The following inquiries were prosecuted
during the year 1919-20.

The plague prevention inquiry at Poona under Dr. Chitre terminated in


November 1919. The Scientific Advisory Board felt that time had come to
put the results obtained into practice and the Bombay Government have sanc¬
tioned field experiments in Belgaum and Dharwar which are proceeding.

The inquiry into hookworm disease was continued by Dr. Mhaskar in


Madras. He has been studying the life history of the parasite and comparing
various methods for counting ova passed in dejecta. In conjunction with
Father Caius he has been investigating the chemical composition of various
drugs used for treatment. Four papers have already been published.

Mr. Awati’s entomological work at Nagpur terminated on 31st October


1919, when he went on six months’ leave. He has published three papers on
the bionomics of house flies. Major W. S. Patton, I.M.S., is conducting
special researches on entomology and protozoology.
Major Knowles, who was in charge of kala-azar inquiry in Assam, was
transferred to the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine. Mrs. Adie continued
to work at the development of the parasite causing the disease in the body of
the bug. Results of both workers will be published in due course.

Dr. Sudhamoy Ghosh continued his work on the preparation of various salts
of unsaturated fatty acids to be tried in the treatment of leprosy. Dr. E. Muir
will be engaged at Calcutta in connection with special researches into the
treatment of leprosy. Dr. K. K. Chatterji is experimenting with neem or
margosa oil and its derivatives and is trying copper margosate in the treat¬
ment of new growths. Further work has been done in the asylums belonging
to the Mission to Lepers in connection with treatment with chaulmoogra oil
and sodium gynocardate.

Lieutenant-Colonel McCarrison who was employed on investigations in


deficiency diseases proceeded on leave to England in January 1920. Ten sec¬
tions of his paper have been published in the Journal. The Governing Body
have agreed to finance further inquiries by him in England.

Captain Malone continued his investigations into the bacteriology of influ¬


enza; and also investigated an outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in Karachi.

from maritime statistics with particular reference to the incubation period of
influenza” was published in the October 1919* number of the Journal.

Lieutenant-Colonel Greig went on leave in February 1919. The pathological


researches in Karachi were continued in his absence by Captain Maitra, I.M.S.,
till January 24, 1920, when the inquiry ceased owing to the demobilisation of
his hospital. Captain Maitra published a paper on “Observations on the Cultu¬

Appendix to section VIII.


REPORT OF YELLOW FEVER COMMITTEE,

Resolutions.

1. The Committee believes that at the present time yellow fever does not
exist in India. Certain fevers, however, sometimes associated with jaundice
and closely resembling yellow fever such as malaria, relapsing fever, and
icterohaemorohagic jaundice have been reported on a number of occasions
in India ; it is desirable, therefore, that the cause and nature of these fevers
should be carefully investigated whenever and wherever they occur with the
object of differentiating them from yellow fever.

2. The prevalence of the mosquito S. fasciata, which transmits the yellow


fever virus and the existence of a susceptible population in the chief sea-ports
of India, indicate that the introduction of this disease might be followed by
sudden virulent epidemics. Such epidemics would be very difficult to control,
would cause great embarrassment to coastal trade and maritime intercourse with
foreign countries and would seriously interfere with recruitment and military
movements at times of national emergency. ,

3. S. fasciata is present in India as in almost all maritime regions situated


within the parellel.400 N. and 40° S. and all ports within such limits must
be regarded in the present state of our knowledge as liable in varying degree
to introduction of the disease and its dissemination. The degree of risk
depends for the most part on the distribution of the disease at any selected
time and on the sanitary condition of the threatened area, especially with
regard to the prevalence of the mosquito stegomyia fasciata. At the present
time the danger is greatest in—

(a) such ports on the American seaboard (including the Amazon) lying
between the parallels of approximately 220 N. and 220 S. as are
not subject to effective sanitary control of the disease ;

(5) ports on the West African coast from I5°N. to 150 S.

4. The danger to India at the present time is remote, but the risk will be
increased pari passu with the extension of the disease to ports nearer India.

5. (a) The protection of India from the introduction of dangerous epidemic


diseases depends primarily on a system of early notification of the outbreak
of such diseases in ports which are in maritime relation with India. Such
notification from ports in Asia, Australasia and Africa should be telegraphic,
and the Committee recommends that this system be adopted as soon as
possible.

(6) A central public health bureau in India to collect and collate informa¬
tion regarding the prevalence of dangerous epidemic diseases in countries
outside India and to disseminate this information to all public health authorities
in India is very necessary.

6. In view of the danger to India that would result from the extension of
infection from the existing endemic areas in W. Africa to the ports on the east
229DGIMS - 28
148 Annual report of the sanitary commissioner

coast of Africa and of the increased likelihood of this on the completion of the
trans-continental railway, the Committee considers that systematic efforts to
stamp out yellow fever from the endemic areas in W. Africa would materially
reduce the risk of infection reaching India.

7. As the safety of India depends largely on the freedom from yellow fever
of ports intermediate between India and the endemic areas, it is desirable that
the Governments of countries threatened by the possible extension of infection
should come to a general agreement as to measures, particularly anti-stegomyia
operations, which are necessary to render their ports free from the possibility of
the establishment of the disease. Further, in addition to the establishment of an
adequate system of inter notification of dangerous epidemic diseases, it is desir¬
able that information should be exchanged in regard to the actual sanitary con¬
dition of all ports (including shipping) with which India is in maritime relation,
and of the progress made from time to time.
• ^

8. The Committee has passed unanimously the attached port health


regulations, in the drawing up of which it has been guided by the provisions
of the Paris Sanitary Convention of 1912. The main departure from the Con¬
vention consists in the addition of the words “ or if it has lain at an infected
port within 18 days of arrival19 to the definition of a suspected vessel.

In the light of existing knowledge it is not possible to lay down the exact
period of time during which a ship exposed to invasion by infected mosquitoes
must be considered to be a source of danger. Pending more complete enquiry
the Committee does not consider it advisable to make this less than the eigh¬
teen days generally recognised as necessary to detect cases arising from infect¬
ed mosquitoes that may be taken on board at an infected port. This brings the
modified regulation into line with the definition of the Paris Convention that a
place shall not be declared free from yellow fever for 18 days after isolation,
death or recovery of the last case of yellow fever.

9..The Committee is of opinion that the existing arrangements in the


main ports of India are wholly inadequate to prevent the introduction of dan¬
gerous epidemic diseases, and considers that at each of the important ports
of ocean call a sanitary station should be established providing facilities for —

(a) moorings for infected or suspected ships,

(b) the isolation of the sick and observation of persons who do not
receive pratique,

(c) fumigation and disinfection.

As article 42 of the Paris Convention lays down that “ every country must
provide at least one port on each of its seaboards ” with such facilities the
Committee recommends that, in accordance with this article, the minimum
immediate requirements of India necessitate the establishment of such fully
equipped stations at Bombay, Calcutta and Rangoon. The Committee thinks
that consideration shoqld be given at once to the possibility of increasing the
number of ports so equipped. If it should be found impracticable to equip
fully and at once a larger number of ports than specified, it is still desirable
that less elaborate schemes should be formulated and that those schemes
should be so planned as to be capable of ultimate expansion. Having regard
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. ,4

to the facts that with a voyage of 18 days* duration ships may enter the ports
of India from a considerable portion of the eastern hemisphere, and that it
is by no means impossible that some port or ports in this area, and on the East
African coast in particular, may at any time be notified as infected, it is essen¬
tial that the possibility of all Indian ports being ultimately called upon to deal
with yellow fever infected ships should be borne in mind.

10. The Committee is of opinion that no possible advantage is to be gain¬


ed from the establishment of sanitary stations on islands distant from the ports
they have to serve. Moreover, stations of this kind would prove to be most
unsuitable because (a) few islands can be found which are so situated as to be
free from danger to shipping during the cyclone season ; (b) the enforcement
of the regulations would necessitate the detention of the ship for at least seven
days which would seriously interfere with trade ; (c) any measures short of
observation for the full period would involve the risk of cases developing during
the voyage between the island station and the port of destination and render
necessary a second station at the port of- destination or a return fcr further
treatment at the island station.

11. (a) In recommending sites for sanitary stations, the Committee has
given consideration to—

(1) possible interference with navigation of vessels,

(2) convenience of access so that there is the minimum delay to shipping


and inconvenience to passengers,
*

(3) the safety of the sea port town from infection from the sanitary
station,

(4) the conditions and surroundings of the site itself so far as they affect
the health of the inmates.

These points limit selection, and the committee finds that there is but one
site in each of the three specified ports which satisfies all requirements—
Butcher Island in the case of Bombay; the Rajabaria site in Calcutta ; and the
present segregation camp in Rangoon—and strongly recommends the acquire¬
ment of these three sites for the establishment of sanitary stations,

(b) Butcher Island is at present occupied by a wireless station and an


ammunition depot. The Committee considers that, although immediate
removal is not essential, arrangements for their removal at the earliest possible
time is desirable.

Comparatively small alterations and repair of the existing buildings would


fit the island for early use as a sanitary station, provided plans are completed for
the rapid extension of accommodation should this appear likely to be necessary
and measures are taken to reduce stegomyia infestation to a minimum. The
Committee considers that the details should be worked out locally.

(c) The selection of the Rajabaria site for a sanitary station capable of
dealing with yellow fever infected ships is, in the opinion of the Committee,
Contingent on the acquirement in the first instance of sufficient land. The
Committee recommends that the whole river frontage between the Indo-General
dockyard and the South Union Jute mill to a depth of about 440 yards be
150 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

' 1

acquired. Extensive clearing of the land is necessary with a view to the carry¬
ing out of measures for keeping the area as free from the stegomyia mosquito
as is possible. Plans for the necessary buildings are being prepared locally
and should be completed as early as possible.

(cl) The site on which the segregation camp near Rangoon now stands is
low lying and unsuitable for buildings. The Committee considers that reclama¬
tion is necessary, and that the area to be acquired and reclaimed should extend
from the match factory to the telegraph hut, and to an average depth of 600
yards from the river frontage. The whole of this area would not be required
for the buildings in connection with the sanitary station, but the Committee is
of opinion that it is advisable to acquire and reclaim sufficient land to secure
an area free from buildings around the sanitary station and to insure its free¬
dom from mosquitoes.
• _ ■ * v-’ • • • .

(e) The Committee considered in detail alternative sites for all three ports.
In Calcutta owing to difficulties connected with navigation there is no alterna¬
tive site which can be utilised for a sanitary station intended for all epidemic
diseases, including yellow fever. In Bombay there is one alternative site, a
portion of Hog Island, but the selection of this would lead to inconvenience
to passengers and delay tb the shipping, and there is also a possibility that
malaria might become a serious factor. In Rangoon a good site could be
secured at Elephant Point for dealing with yellow fever ships only ; but the
treatment of vessels infected with other diseases at this site would involve
grave inconvenience to shipping, while the absence of good communication
with Rangoon by road or rail presents a serious difficulty which could only be
met by heavy expenditure.

12. The Committee considers that the expenditure involved in fitting up


a sanitary station will be materially reduced if arrangement be made with the
sanitary authority concerned for the admission of persons suffering from
epidemic diseases into the infectious diseases hospital maintained by that
authority. The Committee is, however, of opinion that each important sani¬
tary station should include a protected building providing accommodation for
four yellow fever patients, and a separate protected building for the observa¬
tion of ten yellow fever suspects,

13. The previous resolutions have been drawn up after consideration of the
suggestion to accommodate yellow fever cases, suspects and contacts in
specially fitted up hulks. The Committee is of opinion that a land site is In¬
finitely preferable, because the accommodation on a hulk is limited by the
capacity of the hulk and is incapable of expansion at short notice to meet a
sudden demand. Moreover, the expense in maintaining these hulks will be
considerable and it is conceivable that they may be under repair when an emer¬
gency arises.

14. In view of the possibility of Government deciding that sanitary stations


should be established in the near future in connection with the ports of Madras
and Karachi, the Committee recommends that the land sites necessary for
these stations be acquired now. The Committee does not feel justified with
the information at its disposal in making a definite selection, but it appears that
in the case of Madras the selection will be limited to ground between Tiruvut*
your and Ennur.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 15

15* (<*) In addition to these five main ports there are on the coast line of
India some 196 ports, 104 of which are in the Madras Presidency and 75 in
the Bombay Presidency. In the case of some of these ports vessels, the
majority of which appear to be sailing ships, trade with ports in the Straits
Settlements and in East Africa. The Committee recommends that a sanitary
survey of these ports, including accurate information relating to the trade rela-
tions of each and mosquito infestation be made at an early date. It will then
be possible to decide to what extent these ports contribute to the risk of the
introduction of dangerous epidemic diseases, especially yellow fever, to India,
and what measures are necessary to meet such danger. "

(5) The Committee also considers it desirable that the whole question of
coastal traffic by ship between various Indian ports and estuaries requires care¬
ful investigation with a view to devising means for checking the possibility of
the spread of dangerous epidemic disease,

16. The Committee is of opinion that the most effective method of pro¬
tecting the ports of India from yellow fever is to keep them as free as possible
from stegomyia mosquitoes, and that it is undesirable to separate the work
required for the reduction of stegomyia from that of mosquito reduction
generally. Mosquito control can only be carried out by a properly directed
organisation working under a legally constituted sanitary authority. The
Committee, therefore, recommends that Government legislates—

(1) to appoint a sanitary authority for each port,

(2) to establish a properly directed organisation for the control of mos¬


quitoes in each of the larger sea-port towns,

(3) to provide for contributions from Government revenues towards the


cost of these schemes,

(4) to secure the efficient carrying out of these schemes in the event of
failure on the part of any local authority.

The Committee recommends that Government require each local authority


in the sea-ports to prepare schemes for the control of mosquitoes. For the
sake of efficiency as well as economy it is desirable that adjoining local athor-
ities should prepare a conjoint scheme. An essential feature in the success of
a scheme is the appointment of a special officer for the control of the operations.
When the scheme has been approved by Government, the local authorities wall
be eligible for the financial assistance provided by legislation. With a view to
meeting technical difficulties which arise in the execution of these schemes and
for guidance in carrying them out, it is very desirable that the services of the
experts attached to the Central Bureau of the Central Research Institute
should be placed freely at the disposal of the sanitary authorities. These
officers should have power to inspect the anti-mosquito work carried on in the
ports and port towns and will thus be in a position to advise Government on
the progress and efficiency of the work. Should it become evident to Govern¬
ment that their contribution to any scheme is not being spent to the best
advantage, it shall be open to Government to assume control of the operations,
the defaulting local authority still, continuing to pay its share of the expendi¬
ture.
229DGIMS 2v
*52 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

17. The Committee desires to endorse the opinion expressed in paragraph


22 of the Report of the Committee to consider Port Sanitary Administration in
England, and testate emphatically that in the reduction of the infestation of
vessels with rats reliance should be placed primarily on—

(a) properly organized rat campaigns on land ;


(b) periodic fumigation 01 vessels with holds empty.

The Committee recommends that every vessel trading between India and
European, American and Australasian ports be fumigated when the holds are
empty once on every round voyage. It understands that some shipping com¬
panies at the present time have made arrangements for this procedure.

18. In connection with the fumigation of ships, and with special reference
to the possible fumigation of ships with holds full for destruction of mosquitoes,
the Committee points out that at the present time the only available machine
is the Clayton apparatus for sulphurous acid gas, which cannot be used without
damage to certain cargo. The Committee has read the note on fumigation
with hydrocyanic gas written by Lieutenant-Colonel Glen Listen, C.I.E., but,
pending the result of further experiments, cannot express a definite opinion
with regard to the general adoption of this method of fumigation. Whatever
gas is used in the future for the fumigation of ships, the Committee wishes to
lay emphasis on the necessity for greater attention being paid to the through
ventilation of all holds. Without through ventilation of the cargo it is im¬
possible to fumigate efficiently a loaded ship, A note by Colonel Glen Liston
on the ventilation of ships is attached.

19. (a) In resolution No. 15, the Committee iias called attention to the
number of coastal towns in India defined as ports in the schedule attached to
the Indian Ports Act of 1908, and to the fact that some of these ports have
trade relations by sea-going vessels with ports in the Straits Settlements and
East Africa. Should these latter ports become infected with yellow fever in
the future, the danger of unprotected ports on the*coast of India in maritime
relation with them does not need elaboration. It is clearly impracticable to
provide sanitary stations at all these ports, and the Committee is of opinion
that Government should have the power to declare fully equipped ports as first
ports of entry for vessels infected with dangerous epidemic disease. The Com¬
mittee suggests legislation on the lines of the following sections of the Quar¬
antine Act of the Commonwealth of Australia : —

Section 13 (i).— The Governor-General may, by proclamation,

(a) declare any ports in Australia to be first ports of entry for oversea
vessels.
_

Section 13 {1-A.).^The power to declare first ports of entry shall extend


to authorise the declaration of a port to be a first port of entry for all oversea
vessels from any particular place or for any class of oversea vessels.

Section SO.—The master of an oversea vessel arriving in Australia shall


not, unless from stress of weather or other reasonable* cause, suffer the vessel
to enter any port other than a port declared to be ?. first port of entry.

Penally.—Five hundred pounds.


WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. 153

Section 77.—A pilot shall not, unless compelled by stress of weather or


other reasonable cause, conduct a vessel subject to quarantine into any place
other than the proper place for a vessel so subject.

Penalty.—Fifty pounds.

Section 78.—The master of an oversea vessel who, knowing that any


quarantinable disease exists on his vessel, suffers his vessel to enter a port,
other than a port declared to be a first port of entry, shall be guilty of an in¬
dictable Gffence, unless he proves that it was necessary for the vessel to enter
the port for the purpose of saving human life.

Penalty.—Three years’ imprisonment.

(b) Captain Froilano de Mello suggests that foreign Governments possess¬


ing ports in India, which are not provided with sanitary stations equipped
for the reception of patients suffering from yellow fever, should be asked to
make special arrangements whereby vessels suspected to r e infected with yellow
fever and bound for one of these ports should be forced to call at a port possess¬
ing an efficiently equipped sanitary station where it would be dealt with, before
proceeding to its original port of destination.

20. The Committee feels strongly that the defence of India from the intro¬
duction of dangerous epidemic diseases depends primarily on the sanitary
surveillance exercised over vessels during their stay in infected ports with
which India is in maritime relation, and that if absolute confidence could be
placed on the efficiency of this surveillance,, and on skilled and reliable medical
supervision throughout the voyage, there could be considerable relaxation cf
the measures to be employed on Uie ship’s arrival.

Bills of Health are designed to supply information relating to the sanitary


condition of the port and of the vessel on departure, but these Bills vary in
form and in value. The Quarantine Act of the United States of 1893
authorises the President “ to detail any medical officer of the Government to
serve in the office of the consul at any foreign port for the purpose of furnish¬
ing information and making the inspection and giving the Bill of Health.”
The Paris Convention resolved that “ the Governments should confer together
with a view to regulate Bills of Health.” Should such a system of mutual
trust and assistance between nations be impossible, it should be feasible within
the British Empire. Failing such arrangement the Committee recommends
that should yellow fever appear within eighteen days’ sail of India, the action
taken by the United States Government under the Quarantine Act of 1893
should be followed by the Government of India.

21. The Committee supports the suggestion of the Government of Bombay


that section 6 of the Indian Ports Act should be amended so as to permit of
the inspection of vessels and the taking of measures whereby the breeding of
mosquitoes shall'be prevented.

REGULATION S.

A vessel shall be regarded as infected if there is yellow fever on board, or


if there has been a case on board withim seven days of arrival.
154 ANNUAL REPO RT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

A vessel shall be regarded as suspected if there has been a case of yellow


fever on board at the time of departure or during the voyage, but no fresh
cases within seven days, or if it has lain at a port infected with yellow fever
within 18 days of arrival.

A vessel shall be regarded as healthy if there has been no case either at


the time of departure or during a voyage which has lasted at least 18 days and
which has not touched at an infected port within 18 days of arrival.

j. There shall he medical inspection of every vessel which has started from
or daring the voyage called at a port infected with yellow fever.

2 . !n the case of infected vessels the following measures shall be taken :—

(a) The sick shall be disembarked under protection from the bites of
mosquitoes, and shall be efficiently isolated.

(ib) There shall be a visual and thermometer inspection of all other


persons on board, and any person exhibiting a rise of temperature
above 99*4° F. shall be treated as under (a).

(c) The remaining persons shall be disembarked and kept under observa»
tion during a period which shall not exceed six days from the time
of arrival.

(d) The vessel shall be moored if possible at least 220 yards from the
shore, and from other vessels and harbour boats.

(e) The vessel shall be fumigated for the destruction of mosquitoes


before the discharge of cargo, if possible. If fumigation be not
possible before the discharge of the cargo, the discharge of cargo
shall be under the supervision of the Port Health Officer, and
may be permitted if the persons employed in unloading are kept
under observation during the discharging of cargo and for six
days, to date from the last day of exposure on board.

3, A suspected vessel shall undergo the measures laid down under 2 (d)
and (e) before the granting of pratique provided that in the case of a vessel
which, in the opinion of the Port Health Officer, has been efficiently fumigated
at the time of departure from the infected port or subsequently, further
fumigation on arrival shall be unnecessary.

2 (c) shall be applied in the case of all vessels which have been less than
18 days on the voyage provided that the period of detention of passengers and
crew does not extend beyond the 18th day after departure from the infected
port, and is subject to a maximum of six days under observation and provided
that, if the vessel has been efficiently fumigated since last leaving an infected
port, the period of observation shall count from date of fumigation.

4. A healthy vessel shall be granted full pratique subsequent to medical


inspection. »
A NOTE ON THE FUMIGATION OF SHIPS.
There are two important matters with which everyone who has to deal
with the fumigation of ships must be familiar—(i) the division of ships into
bulkhead compartments and (2) the ventilation of ships.
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOR 1919. I55

Bulkheads.—The term bulkhead is used indifferently for all vertical


partitions in a ship. Bulkheads serve three useful purposes

(1) they serve as water tight divisions,

(2) they serve as fire screens,

(3) they serve as structural draphragins.

Bulkheads must extend well above the sea level. Lloyds rules regarding
bulkheads may be summed up as follows :—

Steamers under 220 feet in length require only a collision and after peak
bulkhead the machinery space which is always enclosed between bulkheads
giving four or three according as the machinery is amidships or at the stern.

A steamer more than 220 feet must have at least four bulkheads.

A steamer 285 feet long and under 335 feet must have five bulkheads,

A steamer 335 feet long and under 405 feet must have six bulkheads.
A steamer 405 feet long and under 470 feet must have seven bulkheads.

A steamer 470 feet long and under 540 feet must have eight bulkheads.

A steamer 540 feet long and under 610 feet must have nine bulkheads.

A steamer 610 feet long and under 680 feet must have ten bulkheads.

The Bulkhead Committee of 1912 have decided that no compartment


in any vessel should be longer than 92 feet and that none should be shorter
than 10 eet except the fore*peak in vessels shorter than 200 feet. As
regards the sub-division of vessels to prevent the spread of fire the Interna¬
tional Convention for the safety of fire at sea requires that in passenger vessels
the hull above the bulkhead deck shall be divided by fire proof bulkheads
placed not further apart than 131 feet and that all openings in these bulkheads
shall be provided with fire proof doors.

As a general rule the watertight bulkheads cut off entirely the adjoining
compartments so that to pass from one to another a man must go on deck and
descend the hatchways. A direct communication may be established by
fitting watertight doors in bulkheads. These doors can always be effectively
closed. All ships, therefore, can be fumigated in sections which are not
generally longer than 100 feet.
Ventilation.—The arrangements for ventilating the different compartments
of a vessel vary greatly. In high class vessels elaborate ventilating arrange¬
ments may be made, but in other vessels the arrangements may be quite
elementary. Many cargoes are of such a nature as not to be effected by or
themselves affect the condition of the air surrounding them and in such
cases whether or not the holds are ventilated does not matter. Delicate cargoes,
however, such as grain and fruit, which are apt to decompose, require a
constant supply of fresh air for their preservation, particularly if they are to
be long confined in the hold.
In cargo steamers at least one cowl ventilator is fitted at each end of
each hold, the one serves as a downcast and the other as an uptake. In many
229DGIMS 2\j
156 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMISSIONER

cases two pairs are provided in each hold. If through ventilation of the cargo
is required, one of the two ventilators must be extended to the bottom of the
hold, for when both stop at the deck the fresh air, choosing the shortest route
to the outlet, passes straight fore and aft over the top of the cargo and
leaves comparatively undisturbed air at the bottom of the hold ; but this is
rarely done for with most cargoes surface ventilation is found to be sufficient.
Ventilation for bulk cargoes liable to heat such as rice is often provided by
interposing in the midst of the bales or bags a sort of open work of tubes
roughly made of wood about ten feet long by nine Inches square. These
tubes are placed vertically and horizontally at intervals among the cargo so
as to allow air to pass in ail directions. With grain and other cargoes
requiring very thorough ventilation a trunk way having air holes in its side
is led fore and aft at the bottom of the hold and a downcast ventilator is led
into it so that the air passing along the trunk way and escaping by the
apertures may be distributed all over the bottom of the hold; a similar arrange¬
ment has been adopted to distribute cold air in holds which carry frozen .
meat.

Our present knowledge of such important epidemic diseases as plague


and yellow fever goes to show that their spread to healthy ports can only be
prevented if a ship and its cargo can be thoroughly fumigated. Through
ventilation of the cargo (on some system such as that described above) is
necessary if a ship is to be satisfactorily fumigated without unloading it. In
the majority of ships a simple modification of the existing arrangements to
effect through ventilation of the cargo could easily be devised. The attention
of Government should be drawn to the fact that while rules have been made
and are enforced for the ventilation of all parts of ships used by passengers
or crew, no attention has been paid to the ventilation of those parts of a ship
in which cargo is stored. While such rules are unnecessary for the preserv¬
ation of cargoes, they are required in order that an infected ship may be
fumigated without removing the cargo. The danger of communicating
infection to a healthy port by an infected ship which cannot be fumigated
before unloading is very great, and the cost of unloading a single ship for this
purpose would more than pay for the constructional modifications of the
existing arrangements for ventilating the hold to effect through ventilation
of the cargo in meny ships.
