Dysentery is, with the exception of Malaria, the disease most prevalent in Ceylon, and the mortality caused by it surpasses by far that due to any other cause. From the reports of Dr Perry, P.C.M.O. of the Colony, one sees that the total number of cases treated in all hospitals during the year 1902 was 3,017, with 999 deaths. In 1901 the number of cases was 4,177, with 1,543 deaths. The deaths due to Malaria were only 115 in 1902, and 89 in 1901; the deaths caused by Enteric Fever were 63 in 1902, and 74 in 1901.
