mentioned that while the highest admission rate for primary syphilis per 1,000 of
strength in a station in which there was no Lock Hospital was 90.0, the admission
rates at Bellary and Bangalore, where the Contagious Diseases Act was in full force,
stood at 236.7 and 233.7 respectively. This contrast takes no notice of the smaller
number of men located in stations at which there are no Lock Hospitals ; but making
due allowance for this, the discrepancy in the rates is at least significant. The
usual extracts from the reports of Medical Officers in charge of Lock Hospitals
are appended.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,           
Your most obedient Servant,
(Signed)      A. D. HOME,     
Surgeon, General, H. M.'s Forces.
