622 cases of venereal diseases were treated,—this number does not include cases where sentence has been too short for full treatment.
1,165 injections of acriflavine derivative were given.
1,460 injections of novarsenobillin.
148 injections of metallic bismuth.
263 bloods were sent to the Bacteriological Institute for a Wassermann test.
20. 75 post-mortem examinations were carried out during the year by the prison medical staff.
21. The following examinations were carried out in the Prison Hospital during the year.
Table IV.
3,567 stools for dysentery, ova, etc. 2,476 blood slides for malaria. 176 sputa for tuberculosis, 366 other for M. leprae, pus cells, cocci, etc. 26 blood counts were carried out.22. 352 floggings were witnessed during the year.
23. During the year there were eleven executions which were carried out satisfactorily.
24. Sanitation.
As in previous years the precincts of the gaol have been kept scrupulously clean. A new septic tank has been built adjoining the main tank of the prison—this was completed in the middle of December. This tank should be of great service, as the main septic tank was previously built to serve 1,500 men, whereas it had been serving almost 3,000 men until recently, and had been occasionally going out of action. Routine examinations of prisoners employed in the cookhouse were carried out. Of the total of 132 examinations twenty-three were found to be unfit to be employed, of these:
7 stools showed Morgan's bacillus. 3 stools showed B. flexner. 11 stools showed positive to bacteriological typhosum. 2 Widals were positive to enteric group.25. Public Health. There have been no cases of malaria during the year amongst the prison staff and their families. General health of the prison staff has been good.
The accommodation in the gaol remains the same as stated in last year's report, i.e., approximately 3,000—which is twice the number for which the gaol is designed.
