The apparently heavy mortality in this hospital is owing to the number of deaths entered under the heads of "Dysentery," and "Intermittent and Remittent Fever," and "Diarrhea." A very large majority of the fatal cases under these heads were destitute Chinese and Indians, who had been picked up by the police in a moribund condition, and were only brought up to the hospital to die.
