NINTH ANNUAL REPORT

COMMITTEE OF •MANAGEMENT
OF THE
FOB
TO TIH8E S6UB0SCR.IB ERS.
I N presenting the Ninth Annual Eeport of the Geelong
Infirmary and Benevolent Asylum, the Committee of
Management have a very pleasing duty to perform, inasmuch
as, with the blessing of Almighty God, the Institution
continues in a prosperous and satisfactory condition. Appli­cations
for its aid, both as regards in-patients and out­patients,
have greatly increased, as will be observed by
the following Statistics, and the Committee have been enabled
to deal with such applications in a manner which, so far as
they know, has given satisfaction to the Patients and to the
Subscribers.
During the past year, 422 males, and 157 females, were
admitted to the Infirmary;' and as 42 remained in the Infirmary
at the end of 1859, the number treated in the Infirmary during
1860 was 621. 24 males and 7 females, were admittted to
the Benevolent Asylum ; 39 remained at the end of the pre­vious
year ; thus 70 persons received the aid which admission
to the Benevolent Asylum affords ; or 691 persons in all as
residents. 406 were discharged cured, from the Infirmary; 85
were discharged much improved, though incurable, 66 died,
and 54 remained at the end of the year, 12 died in the
Benevolent Asylum, chiefly from decay of nature, (amongst
them one who had been an inmate for eight years,) j 27 left of
their own accord, and 31 remained at the end of the year.
8
Thus 95 persons remained in the House on 1st January, 1861.
The daily average number in the House in 1860 was 96. The
'admissions in 1860 were 165 more than in 1859. 712 •out­patients,
who attended 5230 times, also received the benefit of
a'dvice and medicine gratuitously.
- The Eule to admit paying patients has been taken advan­tage
of by some, but the Committee have been ever careful to
see that no destitute patient suffered any inconvenience in
consequence, and that no portion of the funds of the Subscribers
was appropriated to the relief of such as could pay. The
Committee believe that it will be desirable to continue to admit
paying patients, but never to the exclusion of the destitute, or
to infringe on the funds of the Charity.
There has been a gratifying decrease in the number of
deaths as compared with last year, or any previous year; but
the Committee still regret that it is desirable to remiiKlSubscri-bers
that the mortality is only increased when persons known
to be on the point of death are sent for admission, not merely
in cases of accident, the admission of which under any circum­stances
could not be avoided, but in cases of lingering disease.
A classified list of the diseases will as usual accompany
this report, when printed, but it may be here mentioned that
the most numerous forms of disease were :—Colonial Fever,
36 ; Rheumatic Fever, 13 ; Chronic Valvular Disease of Heart,
21; Dysentery, 2 2 ; Disease of Liver, 13; Chronic Eheumatism,
4 4 ; Stricture, 1 9 ; Debility, 2 4 ; Phthisis, 18. And there
were 31 cases of wounds :—20 of Simple Fracture, and 4 of
Compound Fracture; 20 of Contusion; and 29 of Ulcer.
The greatest number of deaths arose from Disease of the
Heart, 9 ; Dysentery, 6 ; Disease of Liver, 6 ; Colonial Fever,
5 ; Apoplexy, 4 ; Acute Tuberculosis, 3 ; and Cancer, 3.
On the cost of maintenance of the Institution there has
been a considerable comparative reduction on previous year's
amounts; while in 1859 each patient cost on an average .£9
7s., the average cost of each in 1860 was £7 0s. 4d.
The Eecoipts, including last year's Balance, were £6472
2s, lid., and the expenditure X5617 6s, 4d., leaving an apparent
9
balance of £854: 16s. 7d. j apparent because about £250 is due
on an Invoice of Drugs, to arrive from England, and a sum of
£176 is the estimated cost of certain painting and repairs to
the Building -which cannot be avoided.
The expenditure includes £455 paid for a new iron Fence
round the Grounds; and £ 46 for laying out and planting a
portion of the Garden. These works are so manifest an
improvement, and were considered so necessary that the
Committee confidently expect your approval of the expenditure.
Towards the end of the year, the Committee had doubts
about being able to raise a sufficient sum to secure the whole
of the Government grant, and appealed for collections from the
various Churches, and the response, as will be seen by the
Subscription Lists, was very liberal. Upwards of two hundred
and forty settlers in the country were also written to, and
requested to obtain Subscriptions from their men ; and some
of these gentlemen returned handsome sums, as will also be
seen by the lists. This appeal, however, was not so generally
responded to as had been expected,'men declining to contribute
notwithstanding it is well known that a large number of the
Patients eome from Stations in the country. A timely contri­bution
of £4-0 10s, per M r . J. Dunoyer, from the Swiss
residents in the neighbourhood, made up the balance necessary
to obtain the Government Grant, and the Committee hope
that next year, Country Subscriptions will increase, seeing that
an earnest appeal has been made.
In accordance with a resolution at the last meeting, steps
were taken to form a Library ot voluntary contributed Books,
and the Committee have to thank the Very Rev. Dean Hayes,
Mr. George Wright, Mr. James Balfour, Mr. Stitt Jenkins, and
the A . I. 0 . of O d d 'Fellows, and others for contributions,
which have afforded the Patients much gratification.
At the last Annual Meeting, a resolution was passed to
.the effect that the Eules referring to Honorary Medical Officers
should be altered so. as to do away with the distinction of
Physicians and Surgeons, and have them elected under the title
of General Practitioners ; but a Meeting that was called for
10
the purpose of altering the Bules, lapsed, in consequence of a
quorum not being present. Dr. Gunn and Mr. Pinoott
who were elected at the Annual Meeting, were consequently
the only Honorary Medical Officers attached to the Institu­tion
during the year. Mr. Pincott, however, resigned some
time since ; and Dr. Gunn has informed the Committee that he
does not intend to offer himself for re-election. Ihe thanks of
the Committee were tendered to M r . Pincott for his long and
valuable services, and the Committee feel that Dr. Gunn's long
services, require due recognition at your hands.
After mature deliberation, the Committee, determined to
recommend further Alterations in the Rules referring to the
Honorary Medical Staff, as they felt that they were not proving
of a nature tending to a harmonious management of the
Patients by the Medical Staff. These alterations were sub­mitted
to you this evening, and you are aware of the result.
It is hoped the Eules now adopted will work satisfactorily, as
they have only been suggested to enhance the welfare of tho
Institution, without any other consideration whatever.
Mr. Henry Julian having obtained a better appointment,
resigned the Eesi'dent Surgeonship, and Mr. David Boswell
Eeid was elected in his stead ; and, so far, has given satisfac­tion
to the Committee.
In addition to his usual duties, M r . Eeid offered to give
demonstrations in Anatomy and Practical Surgery for the
instruction of young men wishing to study for the profession,
and for others; and the Committee, accepting M r . Eeid's offer,
made arrangements to carry out the scheme. They hope that
the legal difficulty which only prevents them, will soon be
removed by the Legislature, and a useful feature of an Hos­pital's
operations be added to this.
In concluding this Eeport, the Committee desire to bear
testimony to the unwearied exertions to secure the welfare of
the Institution, and the comfort and recovery of the Patients,
of the several paid Officers, to w h o m they attribute, in a greatf
measure, the present prosperity and success of the Institution.
