time if my presence can be useful. But the cause of failure is plainly recorded, and
can be remedied only by the action of the military authorities. If it is impossible, as
reported, to prevent the soldiers intercourse with the unlicensed women of the popula-
tion expenditure for lock hospital purposes is useless at Benares. If, as reported,
the lock hospital is not in any measure efficient against the spread of disease amongst
the soldiers, the obvious inference is that it ought to be abolished. At present the
total annual cost, Rs. 2,674, falls upon Government.

   X.—The necessity of locating the lock hospital at Moradabad within canton-
ments (paras. 53 and 55).

XI.—The justice of requiring that a case of relapse of a previous disease should
not be entered in the returns as a new case (paras. 75 and 78).

   XII.—The probable advantage of increasing the maximum of punishment award-
able to a hardened offender (paras. 82, 83, 84).

   XIII.—The question raised by the Commissioner as to the fitness of an Apothecary
for the medical charge of the lock hospital at Muttra (paras. 94 and 95).

   The pay of the Medical Officer at Muttra is Rs. 20 per mensem. The results
were favourable for the past year.

   XIV.—The necessity of insisting upon the medical inspection of all European
soldiers arriving at any Lock Hospital station (para. 101).
