    1890 Pulau Jerejak62. Acting Colonial Surgeon Leask reports on this hospital
    1. One hundred and ten (l10) lepers were admitted into Hospital during the year which, with 22 that remained from last year, made a total of 132. Of these,
    there were discharged 18, transferred 42, absconded 27, died 18, remained at end of year 27.
    2. Fourteen (14) prisoners were treated during the year in the Prison Ward. On the 21st April, 2 long sentenced prisoners made their escape by lilting a plank
    off the floor.
    3. On the night of 18th August, a batch of 22 male lepers escaped from the Hospital by wrenching off one of the doors of the ward and overpowering the two
    attendants. Of these, five were arrested and brought back by the Police.
    4. I'o ensure their safe custody for the future, I would recommend that the three wards in the male Hospital be replaced by semi-permanent, ones similar to
    tliose at the Pauper Hospital. The number of watchmen, too. is inadequate for the proper control of these men, especially when a large body of them is in Hospital.
    5. The average daily sick was 37.49, and their mortality 13.63 per cent.
    6. Of the total treated, 25 were females, amongst whom 3 deaths occurred.
    7. Forty-two (42) lepers, amongst whom were two prisoners, were transferred to the I.eper Asylum, Pulau Jerejak, on the 3rd December.

    1891 “It is certain that leprosy does not prevail in the north of China to anything like the extent to which it prevails in the south-eastern parts, and it is very probable that it occurs in the neighbourhood of Canton, Amoy, and adjacent districts, to a much greater extent than it does in any other parts of the Empire.” ((George Thin, Leprosy, London: Percival,1891: 52) [Epidemiology] [China]
    1891 “Leprosy is found throughout the whole Empire of China; that he [Jeremiassen] himself has seen it in all the sea-coast provinces from north to south; that the disease is found among all classes, but naturally most among the poor. He states that leprosy is generally considered contagious among the Chinese, but that lepers [sic] are often found living amongst the family during the first stage. … Leper villages are regularly established in different parts of the country. Generally near cities one or more lepers [sic] will be found outside the city wall; still they are not excluded from visiting the city, where one daily finds them going from house to house begging.” (The medical opinion of Dr Jeremiassen from Epitome of the Reports of the Medical Officers of the China Imperial Maritime Customs Service, from 1871 to 1882, compiled by Surgeon-General Dr Gordon and cited in George Thin, Leprosy, London: Percival,1891: 55-6) [Other] [China]
