19. Conclusion.—The establishment of laboratories at Agra and
Benares and the benefits derived from the practical application of the
knowledge gained from the examinations made therein are most encourag-
ing. This is a noteworthy instance of Mental Hospital progress.
Another advance is the electrical installation at Agra. But much more
progress can hardly be expected until the larger staffs and material
improvements so long asked for can be provided. One cannot ignore the
fact that as Mental Hospitals these institutions, in spite of the good work
done in them, are still far from ideal. As my predecessor has said in
the last triennial report, " until the responsibilities implied in the change
of designation from Lunatic Asylum to Mental Hospital have been realized
it is not possible to hope for any great progress ". Each of the institu-
tions is badly hampered by want of funds for very necessary improvements.
The present three superintendents, Lieut.-Colonel Illius, Lieut. -
Colonol Overbeck-Wright and Lieut-Colonol O'Neill have done excep-
tionally well with the personnel and material at their command. Lieut.-
Colonel Illius at Benares reports the lowest number of deaths on record
and with only eight deaths during 1929 has reached a figure that it
will be difficult to surpass. Dr. Ram Sumiran Lal in his first appointment
to the Provincial Medical Service as Deputy Superintendent at Agra has
done very well in his first seven months of duty.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
C. A. SPRAWSON,
COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-Generat of Civil Hospitals,
United Provinces.
