The " Oriental Sore " as observed in India. 



[part II. 



coincidence between high general admission rate, or high fever rate, with high ulcer 

 rate in any special year, etc. The most important thing in the table is the demonstration 

 it contains of the existence in Delhi of a much higher ulcer rate for Native than 

 for European troops, the average rates for the ten years' period from 1865 to 1874 

 being — 



European Troops. Native Troops. 



87-8 121-3 



The previous tables have shown that such a relation between the rates is not 

 necessary or invariable ; in Bengal, for example, we found the reverse to be the case, 

 and we are therefore justified in coming to the conclusion that there is something 

 special in the conditions of the Native as compared with the European troops in Delhi, 

 which renders them specially liable to such disease. 



It is interesting to note the parallel exhibited by Mooltan to Delhi in regard 

 to the occurrence of abcess and ulcer among European as compared with Native troops : 

 vide Table. VII. Both stations show an admission rate from abscess and ulcer considerably 

 below the provincial average for Europeans, and considerably in excess of the same 

 for natives. 



The next and last table (No. XI.) shows the total admission rates, and those from 

 fever and abscess and ulcer, of each body of troops for each year of the ten years' 

 period. 



TABLE XI. 



Total Admission Rates, and those from Fevers, and Abscess and Ulcer, 

 of the individual Regiments, etc., at Delhi since 1865. 



* No separate details are given regarding the detachments of Native Cavalry at Delhi, the returns regarding 

 the men there being included in those of the regiment to which they belong.
