8 REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



One hundred and forty-one surgical operations were 

 performed, of which thirty were major, and one hundred 

 and eleven minor. 



The number of Estate cases treated for malarial fever 

 was considerably less than during the previous year; this 

 was most probably due to the fact that the inhabitants 

 were more willing than heretofore to take quinine pro- 

 phylactically towards the close of the monsoon. 



Eleven primary vaccinations and five re-vaccinations 

 were performed during the early part of the year. 



Lieutenant-Colonel F. J. Drury, I.M.S., Inspector- 

 General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa, visited Pusa 

 on the 7th December 1912 and inspected the Hospital and 

 the medical arrangements. He has recommended the 

 addition of a Female Ward to the Hospital, and proposals 

 for its construction are under consideration. The Govern- 

 ment of India have recently sanctioned the appointment 

 of a midwife to be attached to the Hospital.
