| 1874 | Dinsha Manekji Petit Asylum (Dinshah Manockji Petit Leprosy Hospital)"The Ratnagiri Leper Asylum was instituted in 1874-75 and the cost of buildings was met by a donation of Rs 15,500 from Mr Dinshaw Manekji Petit of Bombay, the total cost being Rs 27,000. Of this difference Rs 13,344 was provided by public subscription and the remainder from local funds. A managing committee was formed at a general meeting of subscribers, which committee is still in existence. The asylum was inspected on the 6th of February. It consists of wards well adapted for the purpose, and it can accommodate 100 persons. At the period of my visit, there were 27 males and 9 females; total 36. As mentioned in the remarks on leprosy, papargraph 13, the monsoon is the period when lepers most appreciate the asylum. Nearly all the cases at my visit were leprosy in an advanced stage."

| 1875 | JesushilfeKamil Pasha, Governor of Jerusalem, commenced the building of a shelter at Silwan, having been bribed by the Armenian Patriarch in order to rid the Zion Gate of its leprosy sufferers. Christian organizations contributed financially to the building. Because of a change of Governor, the building remained incomplete for many years. In 1875, the building was completed and the new Pasha, Ali Bey, concentrated in it the sufferers who were still at large. In its four rooms, 33 patients were housed.

| 1876 | JesushilfeFor the year 1876, Dr. Chaplin reported: "From the opening, until now, there were 50 patients. Forty nine of them suffered from Elephantiasis (severe swelling of the lower limbs), 36 men and 13 women. Thirty seven suffered from tuberculoid leprosy and 12 from the anaesthetic form. There were 12 deaths, and 20 patients left the institution for various reasons. The present number of patients is 18, 12 male, 6 female. The treatment does not cure the disease, yet there is a certain effect on its course. Our experience of the 10 years of the institution’s existence proves that much can be done to assuage the suffering of the patients, to delay the progression of the disease, and to prevent death from acute illnesses from which they have difficulty in overcoming unaided. In the initial period of the institution’s existence special drugs were tried which from time to time were claimed to be efficacious. The results, however, were not encouraging." cited in Nissim Levy, History of Medicine in the Holy Land : 1799-1948 (Hakibbutz Hameuchad Publishing House & the Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion, Haifa, Israel, 1998), translation by Professor Mark N.

| 1878 | Lazaretto, Black RockIn 1878, a Commission on Lepers and Lunatics reported 40 male and 37 female patients; it recommended that accommodation be made available for 70 males and 50 females. There was a recommendation by the superintendent of public works that females be given the whole of the hospital and that Sam Lords Castle [a well know Barbados landmark] be purchased for £3000 for a male hospital. This was rejected by the commission who recommended that additional facilities be constructed. No additions were made, although by 1892, two additional acres had been purchased for expansion. (There were two leprosy hospitals : one built in the 1840s-50s and the second which is now the national archives, was opened in 1910) (Cited from notes provided by Gerald F.
