The prices paid for Disinfectants may therefore have been somewhat higher than in ordinary terms. For instance the price per gallon paid for Jeyes' Fluid about two months ago was only $52.

The local agents for Jeyes Fluid have quoted the following prices, viz: in 10 gallon drums 2/3 per gallon and in 40 gallon casks at 2/14 per gallon delivered at our stores.

Taking, for instance, the case of the estate of O. Calvert. There I find that, upon the death of Calvert, the Official Administrator dealing with the estate found there was a sum of some $2000 to which four children were entitled. It seems \nthat in Scotland, some \n1 person was appointed Factor loco tutoris for them and \nin any case I \nam very glad Mr. Kyphe has taken \na view to things being put \non a satisfactory basis and \non a sound \nbasis and provision being \nmade to deal with these accumulated \nfunds.\n\n(d) In regards the fifth head, I have asked Mr. Kyphe to refer me to the cases to which he alludes and he has specified five instances, viz:- the estates of (1) Calvert, (2) Lindsay, (3) Muroyi, (4) Scott, (5) Jam Yam Then.\n\nOn referring to the papers in these cases I see the difficulty has arisen mainly on account of some of the beneficiaries \nbeing minors. In the first case, \nChief whice Philippo, \npetitioned \nby \nin 1883, accordingly, \nthe Official Administrator, authorized the investment of $4000 to be applied to their maintenance: The interest on this investment has been \naccordingly remitted to the Factor loco \ntutoris for such minors.\n\nThe other cases are somewhat similar. I will, however, take the second case - the estate of J. Lindsay. There, \nthere was a will but the executors had renounced and even \neventually \nLetters of Administration with the will annexed \nwere granted to the Official Administrator.",

This recommendation was approved, and on the 10th July, 1905, a letter was addressed to the Crown Agents requesting that a quotation might be obtained from Messrs. P. C. Calvert and Company for their Carbolated Creosote in accordance with a specification which was forwarded with the letter. After some correspondence the Crown Agents wrote under date of the 31st May, 1906, enclosing a communication from the firm explaining that owing to want of uniformity in the method of testing disinfectants the specification sent from the Colony could not be satisfactorily complied with. This matter was then allowed to drop.\n\nIn the meantime Messrs. Snowdon Song and Company on May 24th, August 4th, and November 24th, 1905, and on February 23rd, and May 4th, 1906, had repeated their solicitation for orders, and on the 12th May, 1906, had at the request of this Government despatched",

It has 3 spans of 40 feet, the centre one of which provides for a watercourse whilst the two side spans are occupied by the slopes of the embankment. The piers are about 4 feet high, measured to the underside of the girders. We were informed by the Chief Resident Engineer that the piers and abutments are founded on a bed of gravel, and, from borings we have had taken, this appears to be the case. Notwithstanding the fact that gravel constitutes a good foundation, we consider that the thickness of the concrete bases of both the piers and abutments, which varies from 13 to 24 inches, is insufficient. The piers and abutments are constructed of lime concrete, faced with granite ashlar. We consider that, under the conditions prevailing at this bridge, cement concrete should have been used, more particularly for the construction of the abutments.\n\n## No. 22 - Calvert\nThis is situated between Bridges 10 and 11.

        "content_text": "# APPENDIX VII.\n\n## Note by the Hon'ble Surgeon General C. P. Lubis, C.S.I., M.D., LM.S. Director-General, Indian Medical Service, dated 27th June 1911, on the result of the recent medical enquiry about the drug habit. (Paragraph 14 of Despatch,)\n\nAs suggested by Mr. Brunyate, I have consulted various medical officers of experience and Superintendents of Jails and Lunatic Asylums, and I put up below a selected series of their replies; also a statement of the causes of toxic insanity in lunatic asylums in India.\n\n2. These reports clearly bring out the following points:\n\n(a) That Opium-eating can scarcely be considered a vice so far as Indians are concerned. Its evil effects are most noticeable in Burma, and there the majority of the victims are Chinese, and after them the Burmese, but amongst the latter it is chiefly used by the men from the hills-Kachines, Chinese, and Shans. Opium-smoking is regarded by Indians as a vice, and is, therefore, very rarely indulged in and then only in secret. The hypodermic injection of morphia is also very rare and is confined chiefly to Europeans and Eurasians.\n\nOpium, as taken in moderation by the average Indian, is eaten as a stimulant, much in the same way that the British workman consumes his pint of beer or his richer neighbour his glass of port. Or else it is taken as a prophylactic against malaria; for the relief of pain; or to check the excretion of sugar in diabetes. As regards its use in malaria, it must be remembered that Indian opium contains a relatively large proportion of Narcotine, which is a valuable remedy in the treatment of that disease.\n\nAll the evidence goes to show that when consumed in moderate quantities (2 annas or less) it has no ill effects and this coincides with my own experience. Like Colonel Calvert, I have rarely seen it produce evil results except in a few decadents and members of the criminal classes. Like alcohol, it only becomes an evil when taken in excess, but it differs from alcohol, as pointed out by Colonel Calvert, in one important respect: the moderate opium eater can attend to his business and behave as a gentleman, whereas the alcoholic is a dangerous beast.\n\nAnother important point is that the average opium eater, having once fixed his dose, will often keep to it for years without increasing it, whereas the victim of alcohol and cocaine goes on constantly increasing it.\n\nMajor Jagoe Shaw's letter deserves especial attention as showing that opium, whether eaten or smoked, is never a cause or even an exciting cause of insanity, but that its continued or excessive use leads to a condition of malnutrition which predisposes to insanity from any other exciting causes, just as it does to certain microbic infections, especially tuberculosis. In this connection, please see Dr. Fink's report and that of Major Barry. There can be no doubt that, when large quantities of opium are taken for the relief of pain or checking of cough, although it lessens the suffering, it lowers the patient's power of resistance and tends to hasten death; but I do not agree with Major Barry that it is ever the cause of tuberculosis or dysentery-he has, I think, confused cause with effect.\n\n(b) Cocaine is a far greater national danger than opium. One important point as regards its use is that there is no fixed dose. Once a man has contracted the cocaine habit, he spends every farthing he can get on the drug and he rapidly becomes a mental and physical wreck. The habit is greatly on the increase, especially amongst young men of the student class under 20 years of age. Fink also reports that it is used by prostitutes suffering from venereal disease to prevent pain during sexual intercourse. Dr. Childe states that, whereas very little opium or morphia is consumed in Bombay, cocaine is largely used, chiefly as an aphrodisiac, and that it is doing far more harm than opium, whilst some opium traders affirm that they sell twice as much cocaine as opium, and Major Shaw considers that, either alone or combined with morphia, it is largely responsible for the increase of mental cases in his asylum. Colonel Calvert, too, expresses his opinion that the effects of cocaine are infinitely worse than anything he has ever seen with opium. I entirely agree with this opinion. During my five years in Calcutta, I saw many very sad cases amongst growing lads, and I regard this drug as being a grave menace to the future race. I believe it to be a potent factor in the spread of sedition, and to be responsible for many a criminal action or murderous outrage.\n\n3. It is a very true saying \"better the devil you know than the devil you don't know,\" and I fear that, if great restrictions are put upon the sale of opium, the only result will be to drive the people to the more extensive use of alcohol, cocaine, and Indian hemp-all of which are infinitely more deleterious in their effects than opium as consumed by the average Indian.\n\n4. In this connection, the table of the causes of insanity, which I put up below, is very instructive. It shows that 10 per cent of the cases are due to hemp in its various forms, 3.35 per cent to alcohol, and only 0.46 per cent to opium.\n\n## Page 475",

        "content_text": "## Statement on the Use of Intoxicants and Drugs\n\nI have seen one Chlorodyne-drinker who ultimately died from the effects of the drug. As far as my experience as physician goes, opium and morphia are not used very extensively in Bombay.\n\n3. With regard to cocaine, there is no doubt that it has been largely used by the natives of Bombay during the last few years; it is commonly added to pan-sopari and masticated, and also swallowed as a powder. I believe it is used because it is generally believed to be an efficient aphrodisiac, and this is the main reason for its popularity. The demand for it is large, and illicit sellers are said to make a profit of 500 percent; hence, constant efforts are made to smuggle it into the town.\n\n4. I think the effects of cocaine are even worse than those of opium, and that it is doing more harm than opium. I have seen several victims of the cocaine habit; they become mental and physical wrecks, unfit for any work, and sink into a state of incapacity and uselessness.\n\nNo. 1745, dated 25th May 1911.\n\nFrom - **LIEUTENANT-COLONEL J. T. CALVERT, M.B., M.R.C.P., I.M.S., Officiating Principal, Medical College, Calcutta**, \nTo - **The Inspector General of Civil Hospitals, Bengal**.\n\nWith reference to your No. 858-1), dated the 10th May 1911, forwarding a copy of No. 4055, from the Secretary to the Director General, Indian Medical Service, I have the honour to state as regards:-\n\n(a) **Opium and morphia**. - I have seen them in use amongst all classes of natives of India and of other races domiciled in India. Of its deleterious effects when eaten, except amongst a few decadents and members of the criminal classes, I know nothing and have seen nothing. It is eaten as a stimulant much as the European workman takes his beer or his richer neighbour his glass of wine. Each opium consumer takes his daily dose, the quantity of which he guesses, for even morphia is not weighed. Of opium smoking, I know nothing; it is regarded as a vice by natives and if indulged in, the habit is practised secretly. Of injection hypodermically, the only cases I have come across have been amongst the staff of hospitals and dispensaries in natives and amongst Europeans living in the country, and the evil effects have been marked.\n\n(b) **Of cocaine and its substitutes**, I know little. Its use is regarded as a vice by natives and if consumed, the practice is followed on the quiet. I have seen a very few cases amongst the domiciled, and the effects were incomparably worse than anything I have ever seen following the use of opium, and produced, if the histories were correct, more rapidly. Alcohol is the substitute to be dreaded as replacing opium. A man may eat opium and morphia in fairly large quantities and still perform his business industriously and behave as a gentleman. The case is entirely different with cocaine and alcohol. The opium eater at his worst is a quiet and retiring individual, harmless to himself and his neighbour. The alcoholic to excess is a beast and often equally dangerous to his fellow beings.\n\n## Statement showing cases of insanity among the inmates of Lunatic Asylums in India during 1909, caused by the use of intoxicants.\n\n| Province | Total population in Asylums | Charas smoking | Ganja smoking | Use of Bhang | Opium smoking | Opium eating | Spirit drinking | All other intoxicants (including cocaine) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Madras | 837 | : | : | : | : | : | 4 | : |\n| Bombay | 180 | I | OIF'I | : | : | :. 4 | : | : |\n| Bengal | *** | 48 | GOT | IZ | : | 180 | I | 837 |\n| Eastern Bengal and Assam | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |\n| United Provinces | paanqK |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Burma | F | **4 |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Central Provinces | *** | 3 | : | # | 82 | 786 | 50 | 38 |\n| Total | 7,378 | 144 |  |  |  | 396 | 225 | 36 28 |\n| Percentage |  | 1-95 | 12 | 21 | era | 93 | 148 | 10.9 |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 13 | FZ |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 8% | 2:01 |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | * | 40 |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 12 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | 888 | Ved | 7 | 9 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | 247 | 93 | 88. | 98.8 |\n|  |  |  |  |  | au | 1.26 | 481 | 1 |",

        "content_text": "In connection with the Hong Kong Volunteer Company now in India (file 36550/7) Major Owen Hughes brought Brigadier J. M. Calvert, D.S.O. to see Mr. Paskin and myself yesterday morning. The purpose of the visit was in order that the Brigadier might give us further information about the Volunteers whom he commanded in Hong Kong before the war and for whom he still has a considerable interest. He was not able to give us much additional information about the Volunteers since he had not lately been in touch with them, but what was of more interest was that the Brigadier explained that he himself belonged to the most secret organisation known as S...S. (Special Air Services). It appears that this Unit had been responsible for dropping men by parachute behind the lines in Belgium and Holland, etc. and that he now hopes to engage in similar activities in the Far East. If so, it is his intention to try, if possible to use some of the Chinese Hong Kong Volunteers who had been employed in General Wingate's expeditions in Burma.\n\n2. This proposal seems to be exactly what we are looking for in connection with our plans to have an emergency party ready to forestall any possible seizure of Hong Kong by irregular Chinese forces. Owing to the fact that it was thought that Major Owen Hughes was not perhaps aware of these plans, they were not discussed with the Brigadier, but since he himself mentioned D.S.O. and the name of Mr. Colin Mackenzie, Mr. Paskin suggested that he should see Mr. MacKenzie and tell him that he had recently been discussing.\n\nwith",
