Letter dated 1st June 1935 about inspection of Flinders Island and
Lockhart River Mission by D A Dowling M.B. B.S. D.P.H. medical
Officer Commonwealth Department of Health.
Flinders Island (21. 5.1935)
Four women, Alice, Elsie, Marion and Annie were examined per vagina.
No evidence of venereal disease was found, and I am of opinion that
none exists in the women examined. The two children on the island
were examined, and were in good health and a fairly good state of
nourishment.
Tommy (senior), middle aged man, suffers from a chronic dislocation
of the left hip, probably congenital.
The general appearance of these people, 12 in all, was reasonably
good, and they appeared to be contented, and fairly well nourished.
Their housing is primitive, and rather dirty, but in view of all
the circumstances, nothing different could be expected.
Lockhart River Mission (23. 6.1935 - 24. 6.1935)
A survey was made of all available children and youths, and such
adults as shewed any indications for it. In all 75 individuals
were examined, and especial attention was paid to the following
particulars - nourishment, skin, mouth, throat, chest and spleen.
Survey carried out by D A Dowling.

Dr R Cilento 2 - 3 years ago.

This completed the series of cases seen with Sergeant J V Dowde of Cardwell,
between Cardwell and Tully. A larger number of the natives ran away here than
in any other locality, and this was said to be due to the fact that they had
recently been dosed with hookworm medicine, and had had considerable vomiting
and sickness after it. Other reasons appear to operate, as it was noticed that
all the younger gins, without exception, left for the bush.

These natives, more than any other set of town natives, were infected with
gonorrhoea, and were altogether an unsatisfactory collection. There are
several other collections of natives, both under and outside the power of
the Protector of Aboriginals, who have established camps round the town,
and make themselves a nuisance and a health menace to the rest of the
population.
I wasa not impressed with the activities of the police as Protectors
of Aboriginals in this locality.

The outstanding observation at Mona Mona Mission was the frequency of
tuberculosis and of skin disease. To my mind this has an undoubted
relationship to the type of diet used among Seventh Day Adventist
missionary people. The natives are well cared for and well housed,
but the diet appears to be lacking in Vitamins A and C. The Superintendent,
Mr Broad, has a good conception of the necessities of the case so far as
food constituents are concerned, but it is difficult to put an exact
balance into a diet for natives rigidly restricted by religous prohibitions
etc.

These natives are in charge of Sergeant Patrick Seary, who is well known
throughout the North for his devotion to his native charges and their welfare.
He has established a well-built native camp on the outskirts of the town,
where several houses have been built of second-class timber, with sleeping
rooms, kitchens, and antbed hearths. I visited this camp, and found the
natives are so supervised that all refuse is burnt or buried, and there was
no rubbish and no offal anywhere. The usual packs of native dogs were seen,
and the Sergeant gave orders for them to be reduced. The camp is well drained,
and is situated in a well-chosen angle between Chinaman and Granite Creeks,
and has an area of about 15 to 17 acres.
Note: An old man, Toby McDonohue, from Mt Mulligan, was in a humpy at the camp,
and was aged, mentally week, and apparently dying of pneumonia. He refused
either aid or shelter.
