sfrom H. M. Ships, who were sent to hospital for treatment or operation
One hundred and ninety operations were performed durino' the year as
ajjdinst 149 in the previous year and 99 in the year 1911. Eighteen patients
were operated upon for cataract with good results in 17 and improved vision
in one. Two cases of stone in the bladder were operated on, of which one
was successful; the other unfortunately died on the succeeding day from
Bronchitis. Two patients were operated upon for Appendicitis and two for
Hernia, with satisfactory results.
Only since the outbreak of smallpox have the people in Maskat and
Matrah shown any desire to have their children vaccinated. Since the begin
ning of December, 155 primary vaccinations have been performed. One case
of smallpox was landed from a British India ship and treated in the Quaran
tine station.
The hospital buildings are in a fair state of repair, the supply of drugs
and dressings have been adequate and several important instruments have
been added to the equipment of the hospital.
Major J. W. Little, has been in medical charge during the year,
with Sub-Assistant-Surgeon J. F. Mascarenhas in sub-charge. The marked
increase in the number of patients attending the hospital during the last two
years is greatly due to the popularity of this Sub-Assistant Surgeon, who has
been presented by the Surgeon-G-eneral to the Bombay Government, with half
the " Moore's Prize " for good work, a reward much sought after by Sub-
J. W. LITTLE, M AJOR, I.M.S.,
