    (M. 1267.) — No. 13, — Seamen’s Hospital Society to Hoard of Trade. Seamen’s Hospital Society, 86, King William-street, E.C., Sir, 3 February 1870. IIeuewitii I beg to forward to you, in continuation of former similar Returns, the statistics of “ scurvy ” on board the seamen’s hospital ship “ Dreadnought ” during the years 1868 and 1869. The Committee of the Society have been much gratified to find that whereas in the years 1865 and 1866 they received over 100 cases per annum, the total number during last year only amounted to 40. J he reduction of numbers lias been wholly confined to British shipping, as appears by the following statement. Number of Cases of Scurw received at the “Dreadnought— In 1865, British 101, Foreign 1, Total 102. 1866, 99 96, c; 11 11 101. •n 1867, 19 90, 55 d, ,, 94. ) > 1868, 11 64, „ 10, „ 74. 1869, 1 1 31, Q 11 ^1 11 40. The “ Dreadnought” having always been the most usual place of resort in the port of London for men suffering from this mischievous disease, the Committee consider this great reduction of numbers as affording valuable testimony to the advantage of the recent legislation on the subject. The Secretary, Ma'ine Department, I am, &c.
