|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quinsy | — | 2 | 2 | 2 | — | — | The health of the prisoners (male and female) during 1873 has been good, only 104, or one in about 30, having been so indisposed as to necessitate their admission into Hospital. The average time of each in Hospital was 12 days. Of the above number 40 were the Zymotic class, of which nearly one-half was composed of bowel complaints; none proved fatal. There has been no case of fever in the prison in 1873. A death is recorded under Delirium Tremens, but the real cause was Pulmonary Consumption. Local diseases amounted to 43. Of these Bronchitic cases were the largest number. Of this class three proved fatal, one, an aboriginal native, in whom caries of the skull extended to the Dura mater; second, a European, whose habits of intemperance culminated in serous apoplexy; and third, also a European, who died of heart disease, after a prolonged illness. The quality of the rations has been good, a fact fully attested by the healthy and vigorous appearance of the prisoners. As has been explained in former reports, the above statement refers only to those who have been treated in Hospital. The attention of the authorities is again called to the urgent necessity of providing better Hospital accommodation for the prison. |
