SALTY
THE COLONIAL SURGEON'S REPORT
litary report.
FOR
1853.
In consequence of the late period of the year at which I was appointed to perform the duties of Colonial Surgeon, and the increased amount of professional labour which the untimely death of my much lamented and esteemed friend the late Colonial Surgeon necessarily entailed upon me, I am compelled to confine my report on the sani- tary condition of the Colony for the year 1853, to a few statistical details and the remarks re- quired for their explanation. There is less cause for regret however on this account, as all the more important measures which still remain to be carried out for the further improvement of the general health of the community were so ably and so frequently insisted on by my talented predecessor, (more particularly in his report for
|
1852) that I need only add my testimony to his on the advantages most certain to result from a more efficient system of Drainage, an increased supply of water, and the planting of trees in all available spots throughout the City and its im- mediate neighbourhood.
Following the order observed, in previous reports :-
THE CIVIL HOSPITAL.
The records of this establishment being, unfor- tunately, entirely wanting for several months, I am unable to give any detailed statement of the various diseases treated there in the course of the year. The following table however shows the average daily number of patients in the Hos. pital during each month.
