At the end of the year 1885 there were 283 charitable dispensaries open in Bengal against 230 in the previous year, and the total number of in-patients treated This shows an was 25,766, and of out-patients 96,218. increase compared with the numbers in 1884 of 689 in the in-patients, but a decrease of 4,648 in the out-patieuts. It is satisfactory to learn from the report of the InspectorGeneral of Civil Hospitals that a real interest in sanitation is evinced by the medical officers in charge of these institutions, several of which were models of cleanliness. Owing to the encouragement given by the Civil Surgeons to their subordinates strict attention was paid to all hygienic arrangements. The death-rate during the year among the in-patients was 15'59 per cent, as compared with 14-75 per cent, in the previous year. The total income of the dispensaries from Government contributions, municipal, local, and other funds, interest on investments, and European and native subscriptions, was lis. 5,08.683, while the expenditure amounted to lis. 4,71.942, which left a cash balance at the end of the year of lis. 36,741. The amount of subscriptions from Europeans was Rs. 16.872. and from Natives 11s. 1,06,185. The latter shows a falling off of nearly Rs. 5,000. The cost of diet of each in-door patient varied from two annas seven pies to six pies per diem.
