PART ilI Admission Rates for Abscess and Ulcer in European Regiments. 397 



The table on page 396 shows the individual stations in which Infantry regiments have 

 given over 70 per cent, admissions from abscess and ulcer, together with the years in 

 which they have done so from 1865 to 1874, and the general admission rate of the station 

 for each year. In this table the years with high ulcer rates are distinguished by the 

 difference in the type with which the general admission rate is printed. Only Infantry 

 regiments have been taken into account, Cavalry regiments and Batteries having been set 

 aside on account of the small numbers of men contained in them, and as regards the 

 Artillery, moreover, because there are no native troops of a corresponding nature. 



The table also shows the average admission rate, from all causes, of each station 

 for the ten years, and the average admission rate of all stations for each year. The 

 stations are arranged in groups according to the number of years in which the admission 

 rates of regiments in them from abscess and ulcer attained or exceeded 70 per 1,000. 

 This number varies from one year in the case of certain hill stations to nine in Benares 

 and Lucknow. It will be seen that during the period under review there has been 

 a considerable diminution in the number of stations, giving 70 and upwards per 

 1,000 admissions in any individual year. It also appears that there is no necessary 

 correspondence between the average total admission rate of any station and the pre- 

 valence of abscess and ulcer in it. Lucknow, for example, with a very low average 

 total admission rate, is one of two stations giving excessive admissions from abscess 

 and ulcer in nine of the ten years. It is, moreover, not necessarily the case that in 

 any individual station the years of highest general admission rate should coincide with 

 those giving the highest admission rates from abscess and ulcer and vice versa . 



The next table shows the same stations arranged as before in order of frequency of 

 high prevalence of abscess and ulcer, but in addition contains the actual rates and the 

 i ndividual regiments giving these in each year.
