19] 8 has maintained on the whole a satisfactory service, and mails have been
e vered regularly from Basrah which have connected with the fast mails to
Europe and India, as well as the various air mails.

XIII.— Medical.
(1) Health of the town. This has been fairly satisfactory during the year.
(а) Tuberculosis has taken its usual toll, and there is no abatement in its spread
among families in the town and even among the Bedouins. The habits and customs
of the poeple are such that the spread of any contagious or infectious disease is great
ly facilitated. Energetic steps, however, were taken in a recent case of leprosy
imported from Persia and the sufferer was sent back.
(б) Infantile diseases were as bad as ever, with the addition of whooping cough
which was bad during the year. This state of affairs will continue as long as the
mothers are ignorant of the first principles of Infant Welfare and Hygiene.
(c) Common diseases are those of the skin, bowels, eyes and ears, and the ulti
mate results of the two latter is evidenced by the large number of one-eyed and deaf
in the town, all of which are due to lack of early treatment.
(2) Sanitation.—In previous years there has been none. This year a Munici-
pality has been formed which is doing good work in cleaning of rubbish heaps, fill
ing m evil smelling hollows, establishing dust bins at suitable spots, and clearing
away the rubbish m carts. &
Narrow lanes are also being widened and drains dug for drainage.
(3) Water. As in previous years this is brought by dhows in wooden tanks
from the river at J?ao and distributed to houses by means of kerosine oil tins.
(4) Epidemics. —None.
(5) Quarantine. There have been the usual precautions such as inspection of
all passengers and ships arriving at the port. Quarantine of passansers when
necessary takes place in 2 buildings situated about a mile outside the wall of the
town.
(6) Charitable Dispensary. —The following numbers by classes were treated
during the year.

At present the dispensary needs better accommodation and more room. It is
hoped to arrange this improvement very shortly and a four room building for the
purpose has been earmarked which only awaits doing up, when it will be handed
over to the medical officer.
