In the
year
1855, the admissions
the
of veneral diseases among Troops serving in China were at the rate of 245 her 1000 average strength.
In dafan where there is m inspection of the Kind, the prevalence of veneral diseases has increased instead of diminishing, es much so that
in the last three months
of 1867
there were 155 admissions out of
A
strength of 380._
Juring
the
same period in
China they were 29 out of the
same strength.
Thus the admissions in
Japan were more than 5 times
as numerous.
the
This I attribute entirely to
system of examination of the frostitutes here and not in Jahren.
I have witnessed this examination as carried out by
you
and consider it most
effecturally done.
