g the officers use the baths or douches fitted up close to
the barracks, and separated from each other by woven grass partitions.

The officers' linen is washed by their orderlies in very convenient
wash-houses built of wood and cement.

There are 44 Turkish W.C.'s, cemented, at a good distance from the
quarters. They are arranged over cesspools 18 feet deep, disinfected
every day with whitewash and cresol, and are quite odourless.

_Medical Attention._--The health of the inmates of Sidi Bishr Camp is
looked after by an English doctor, Captain Gillespie, assisted by an
Armenian doctor, who practised at Aleppo in Turkey before the war.

These two doctors speak Arabic and Turkish.

An English corporal and 5 English hospital orderlies take care of the
sick.

Twenty-one Egyptian orderlies do the sanitary work of the camp; serious
cases are sent to the English hospital at Alexandria. A Turkish
Surgeon-Major, Dr. Ibrahim, interned at the camp, is present at
operations performed upon his Ottoman comrades in the hospital. He
expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the care bestowed upon
them.

The infirmary contains 12 iron bedsteads, with wool mattresses and
blankets. The consulting room is well fitted up, the cupboards
abundantly supplied with drugs. An isolation ward accommodates
infectious cases in the incubation stage. Bathrooms reserved for the
patients adjoin the infirmary, and there is a kitchen service for
preparing special diet.

Officers troubled by their teeth are taken to a dentist in Alexandria.

The prisoners' garments and bedding are sterilised in a special
apparatus.

All new arrivals pass 14 days in quarantine, in special quarters in one
of the sections of the camp. They are permitted to join their comrades
only when it is certain that they are free from any contagious malady.
At present 36 officers and 34 orderlies are in quarantine.

_Illnesses and Deaths_-All officers imprisoned at Sidi Bishr having been
vaccinated against smallpox, typhoid, and cholera, there are no
epidemics in the camp. Three to five officers come forward each morning
when the doctor makes his rounds. There are perhaps 6 light cases of
malaria weekly, 3 to 5 cases of bacillic dysentery every month, treated
with serum; 1 case of more serious dysentery was sent away to the
English Hospital in Alexandria. In summer there are some mild cases of
diarrhoea. There were 3 cases of trachoma among the officers' orderlies.
