* Cases of insanity due to all forms of Indian hemp are included under this head.
STATEMENT No. VII.
Ætiological factors and associated conditions in the insanes admitted.
27. The principal predisposing and exciting causes were mental stress giving rise
to 134 cases against 167 in 1916 and, 83 in 1915 and the abuse of intoxicants 89 cases
against 93 and 88, toxic diseases 26 against 33 and 24, mental instability 55 against 61
and 64, physiological defects 18 against 24 and 25, traumatic causes 7 against 24 and 4.
The causes of insanity were not ascertained in 258 cases owing to the previous history
given being unobtainable.
STATEMENT No. VIII.
Cash accounts.
28. The receipts from paying patients amounted to Rs. 70,338-3-3 as compared
with Rs. 66,309-15-0 in 1916 and Rs. 36,762-5-2 in 1915, the average receipts for the
triennium being Rs. 57,803-7-10 against Rs. 29,815-1-11 in 1912—1914. The large
average increase under this head is mainly attributable to the recovery of charges for
insanes from the municipalities or relatives of insanes concerned, under the recent
orders of Government. The value of stores received from the manufacturing depart-
ment, less cost of raw materials, increased from Rs. 5,409-9-10 in 1915 to Rs. 6,750-1-10
in 1916 and Rs. 6,932-5-0 in 1917, the average value for the past three years amounting
to Rs. 6,364-0-3 against Rs. 4,369-5-11 for 1912—1914.
29. The total expenditure amounted to Rs, 4,05,578-1-6 against Rs. 3,89,740-9-6
expended in 1916 and Rs. 3,38,924-2-9 in 1915. Deducting the receipts from paying
patients, the value of stores received from the manufacturing department and the
amounts realised on account of the sale of goods to the public, etc., the net expenditure
was Rs. 2,40,975-5-4 as compared with Rs. 2,33,343-3-6 in 1916 and Rs. 2,42,132-12-3
in 1915. Excluding the Public Works Department charges, the net expenditure for the
triennium under review, as compared with the mean of the preceding triennium, was:—

30. The net cost per head of daily average strength was Rs. 180-7-7 against
Rs. 180-3-10 in 1916 and Rs. 202-12-7 in 1915, the mean for the triennium being
Rs. 187-13-0 as compared with Rs. 173-3-11 in the previous three years. The increase in
the cost per patient was due to higher prices under the heads of diet, bedding and
clothing.
Amusements.
81. For the amusement of insanes Rs. 1,905-6-0 were spent as compared with
Rs. 3,137-15-5 expended in 1916 and Rs. 2,815-9-0 in 1915. The average expenditure
under this head for the two triennial periods 1912—1914 and 1915—1917 was
Rs. 2,132-9-9 and Rs. 2,619-10-2, respectively.
