Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 25th February, 1869.

THE following Despatches, with enclosures, from
the Colonies, are published for general information.

E. W. STAFFORD.

Downing Street,
30th November, 1868.

SIR, --I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of
a letter from Colonel Henderson, Surveyor-General
of Prisons, enclosing an interesting Report from the
Resident Medical Officer at Millbank Prison, on the
use and effects of carbolic acid, together with a copy
of instructions for arresting the spread of fever by
means of that medicine.

The use of carbolic acid during a recent alarming
outbreak of fever in this country appeared, from
Dr. Gover's report, to have been attended with such
good results, that a large supply was forwarded to
Mauritius, a Colony in which an alarming epidemic
had unhappily for some time been raging. The
experiments made in that Colony with carbolic acid,
both as a disinfectant, and in the direct treatment
of the epidemic, have been very successful, as, you
will perceive from the enclosed extract of a Despatch
from Sir H. Barkly, dated the 16th September, and
the accompanying Reports from the Acting Sanitary
Inspector in Mauritius.

It appears very desirable that such information
should be widely circulated, and I have therefore to
request you to forward copies of this Despatch and
its enclosures to the principal Medical Officers under
your Government, and to make known the inform-
ation contained in it in other quarters where it is
likely to be useful.

I have, &c.,
BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS.

Governor Sir G. F. Bowen, G.C.M.G.

(Enclosure No. 1.)
Colonel Henderson to Sir F. Rogers.
45, Parliament Street,
7th April, 1868.

SIR, --I have the honor to state, for the information
of His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos,
that consequent on an interview I had with yourself
in reference to a supply of carbolic acid for use in
the island of Mauritius, arrangements have been
made for sending by the mail steamer of the Mes-
sageries Imperiales, leaving Marseilles on the 9th
April, a supply of carbolic acid, addressed to His
Excellency the Governor.

As only a limited quantity can be sent by this
