women have to be taken out and locked in a shed in the portion of the Asylum which
should be reserved for males only. This practice will, I am glad to say, soon be done
away with. A new hospital is also much wanted, and it is to be hoped that a grant of
money may soon become available for its construction. A new ward for criminal males
is also wanted, and as the number of these is steadily increasing, expenditure on this
head will have to be faced sooner or later.
3. A new house for the Hospital Assistant, who is also the overseer, has been
built at an expense of Rs. 450 only to Government, the bulk of the labour having
been supplied free. Four new culverts have been added to the existing ones, and
a pucca drain and a platform have been made near the cook-shed. The top of
the well in the female ward has been planked over, and a small masonry platform pro-
vided.
4. The clothing of the inmates is good and sufficient, the cotton portion being
made by the patients, and the blankets brought from Bhagalpur.
5. The number of inmates is gradually increasing, and at the time of my visit there
were 128 in all, classified as follows :

The origin of these affections is found to have been due to ganja-smoYmg in the
case of 4 males, alchoholi3m in 1, but in the remaining 17 cases, amongst the men, the
cause is not known. The insanity of the women is supposed to be due to hereditary
influence in 1 case, family affliction in 1 case, other acute illness in 2 cases, and not
known in the 3 remaining.
6. On the date of my visit there were 4 cases in hospital, all males, viz., 2 cases of
ague, i of dysentery, and 1 of ansemia.
During the year, 86 cases have required admission into the hospital for diseases
which are shown in the table subjoined :

7. The attacks of influenza were in the nature of an epidemic, which occurred in
May. The cases were not very severe, and only a small percentage of the population
was attacked. The case of fracture of the ulna was a bad compound one, caused by
one lunatic beating another at night with a piece of bamboo, which he broke out from
the window. Fortunately the guards were alert, and the men were separated before
more damage was done. The cases of scalp wound were due to a quarrel between two
women.
8. From May to October a prophylactic issue of quinine, sulphate of iron, and
dilute sulphuric acid was given to all the inmates, except a few violent ones. The good
effects of this are evidently apparent as shown by the small number of cases of malarial
fever.
9. There have been five deaths up to date in this ye?r t three males, one each from
dysentery, diarrhoea and remittent fever, and 2 women, one from dysentery and one old
age and debility.
10. A most satisfactory amount has been realised by the sale of vegetables, bricks,
etc., nearly six hundred rupees having been remitted to the treasury and about the same
sum being still due from the Public Works Department.
11. A magic lantern and some native musical instruments have been provided for
the amusement of the patients, which, it is hoped, may tend to alleviate their affliction.
12. The establishment has been strengthened by the addition of one sweeper,
and it is now sufficient for present needs.
13. Hospital Assistant Giris Chandra Das has been in subordinate charge during
the whole year, and has excellently well justified his appointment as overseer in
addition to his medical duties, and the satisfactory state of the whole institution is due
in no small degree to his diligence, tact, and assiduity.
14. Major Macnamara has been Superintendent during this year as in several
preceding ones, and has managed the affairs of the Asylum thoroughly to my satis-
faction.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
TEZPUR LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR
1898.
1. Asylum charge.—I was in charge of the Asylum uninterruptedly during th
year as Superintendent. Second-grade Hospital Assistant Giris Chandra Das was in
subordinate charge.
2. Buildings, etc,—(a) The Asylum buildings were kept in good repair.
(b) Four buildings in the female compartment of the Asylum were destroyed on
the night of the 10th March by a fire believed to have been malicious in its origin.
The occurrence was reported at once to the Principal Medical Officer and a police
inquiry instituted, as there was reason to believe fire was thrown over the boundary
palisade on to a thatched roof. There was naturally much confusion among the
inmates, but beyond the destruction of property no injury was caused. To replace the
houses which were burned down, an iron-roofed building on an approved plan and
with a well-raised pucca plinth was sanctioned at an estimated cost of Rs. 8,000. This
building is now approaching completion. Meanwhile, temporary accommodation was
provided. We were fortunate in having a good supply of Asylum-made bricks at
hand, and the new house provided work for a large number of the inmates during
the year under report.
(c) The kutcha floors of the male non-criminal sleeping-wards are covered with
dry sand, which is changed at intervals, as it becomes damp, because leeping in per-
manently-occupied buildings is, when it has to be frequently repeated, considered
objectionable.
(d) The drainage of the Asylum is good, and even in heavy rain there is no
trouble from this cause.
3. Accommodation.—Before the fire of 10th March the Asylum furnished accom-
modation for 90 male and 46 female patients, but owing to the destruction of the
female sleeping-wards in part, as before described, we w r ere left with accommodation
for only 30 females. The greatest numbers confined in any one night were 103 males
and 28 females, but overcrowding was prevented by the use of the hospital and the
solitary cells. The sleeping-wards are occupied only at night and are well ventilated
through the walls which are made of mats. We have accommodation for 31 male
criminal lunatics only, whereas the number at present confined is 33. As the number
of this class of patients is gradually increasing, further accommodation will have to
be arranged for at some future time. The number confined in excess of the scale
find room with the non-criminals. No separation of criminal and non-criminal female
patients at night is possible at present, but a step in this direction might be made as
soon as the new female ward is ready for occupation.
4. Clothing and bedding.— The summer clothing consisting of dhutis and
kurtas is made in the Asylum by the female patients. During the year blankets
a nd blanket kurtas were purchased from the Bhagalpur Central Jail as usual. The
^harpoys destroyed in the fire have been replaced by wooden cots.
(d) Admissions classified.—The following statement shows the districts from which
lunatics were received in 1898, and is interesting, as it shows that more non-criminal
patients were received from Darrang than from all the rest of the districts in the province,
which furnish inmates, taken together. Lunatics in the Surma Valley are sent to Dacca :—

Gurkha Rifles, and was admitted under the orders of the General Officer Commanding
Assam District.

Committing Magistrates, with few exceptions, fail to let us know the section under
which criminal lunatics are sent to the Asylum, so that there is still difficulty in preparing
the foregoing statement.
13. Nationality, etc.—Statement No. Ill shows the religion, sex, and distribution
according to nationality of the patients admitted during the year. The number of
Hindus, Muhammadans, and other castes were 21, 4, and 3, respectively, against 24, 1,
and 2, respectively, of 1897. One native Christian, a garden coolie, was admitted during
the year.
14. Previous occupation.—Statement No. IV gives the previous occupation of the
patients admitted during the year. The figures since the opening of the Asylum are:—

17. Alleged causes of insanity.—See Statement No. VII. Of the total 29 admis-
sions, 7 were ascribed to physical causes, 3 to moral causes, and in the case of the
remaining 19 patients, the causes are unknown.

It will thus be seen that out of 29 admissions, the cause was ascertained in 10
cases only, and was said to be unknown in 19 cases. From the descriptive rolls sent
with the lunatics, it would appear that committing Magistrates seldom succeed in
ascertaining the cause of insanity, although we have asked for a special inquiry in every
such case. The causes, therefore, remain hopelessly unknown in the great majority of
cases.
18. Sickness and mortality.—See Statement No. VIII.
Out of a total population of 147 lunatics, 73 were admitted to hospital during
the year, viz., 56 males and 17 females. Of these, 61 were admitted once, 11 twice,
and 1 four times. The percentage of admissions to hospital and deaths to average
strength have been—

It is satisfactory to note that the admissions to hospital have fallen from 92 in the
previous year to 87, and we get a still more satisfactory result when compared with
1896, when there were 130 admissions.
It would appear that the comparative healthiness of the inmates was, at any rate,
in part due to the general use of iron and quinine during the unhealthy season of the
year, i.e., from May to November.
19. Total mortality.—The total number of deaths was 5, or 4*03 per cent, of
average strength, as compared with 10 deaths, or 8*i6 per cent, in 1897. The deaths
may be classified as follows : —

The increase in expenditure is very little. The only noticeable increase is in the
contingencies. This increase is partly due to the manufacture of bricks in the Asylum,
and partly to the value of articles purchased for the amusement of the lunatics.

23. Sanctioned Establishment.—Statement No. X.—An additional sweeper was
entertained during the last two months of the year, as it was found impossible to get
the Asylum cleaned up before midday with the establishment we had. This was
done on the recommendation of the Principal Medical Officer, sanction having been
obtained in the ordinary way. The place of one female-keeper has been vacant since
April last, as we could not get a woman to fill it. An application made to the Superin-
tendent of the Berhampur Lunatic Asylum to try to procure a female warder was of
no use, as we could induce no one to come on Rs. 10, which was the pay offered.
24. Manufactures.—Statement No. XL—The net profit from the manufacturing
department was Rs. 1,592-14-3, against Rs. 1,090-6-7 in the previous year.
The value of Asylum produce used by the inmates was—
