Errata to the " Triennial Report on the working of the
Patna Lunatic Asylum, Bihar and Orissa for the years
1912-14."
1. On page 2 of the Inspector-General's letter to Government, the paragraph below para-
graph 8 of the letter should be numbered 9 instead of 10.
2. On page 2 of the Superintendent's report in sub-paragraph 3 to paragraph 7, the
figure 18 in the sentence " Dysentery was responsible for twenty-six admissions 18 in 1912 "
should be omitted.
3. On page 9 of the Report the word " APPENDIX " should be substituted for the
words " Statements I-V".
4. On page 15 of the Report the words " STATEMENT VI" should be substituted for
the words " Statements VI-X".
5. On page 23 of the Report in statement No. IX the spelling of the word " vacant "
in the foot-note (c) should be corrected from vcaant to vacant.
3
arrangements for drinking water, cooking, bathing and conservancy are all
very satisfactory. The asylum garden is well looked after and yields a plentiful
supply of good vegetables for the use of the lunatics. The establishment of the
asylum also worked as well as could be expected under the circumstances.
10. The new Indian Lunacy Act was introduced during the year 1912,
and in 1913 all the districts of the Province of Bihar and Orissa, including
the district of Angul, were declared to be areas in which reception orders
may be made under the provisions of the Act. The Bengal Lunatic Asylum
Manual, which is followed in this Province, has been revised by Lieutenant-
Colonel C. E. Sunder, M.D., I.M.S., in accordance with the new Act and to
suit the requirements of this Province. The draft manual is under revision in
this office and will be submitted shortly for the approval of Government.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
F.J. DRURY, M.B , COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector- General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa.

Insanity of Haschisch.—was responsible for 14 admissions with 2 recov-
eries in 1914 against 9 admissions with no recovery in 1913. There was no
admission under this head in 1912.
Dementia.—Eight cases were admitted with 1 recovery in 1914 against nil,
both in 1912 and 1913. There were 4 admissions in 1912 with one recovery,
9 in 1913 with 4 recoveries and 5 in 1914 with 1 recovery under the head
" Declared to have recovered, or not yet diagnosed ".
Idiocy.—Two were admitted in 1914 against 1 in 1913 and nil in 1912.
There were no recoveries. Under the head " General Paralysis of the insanes "
there was only 1 admission during the triennium, viz., in 1912.
13. Statement VII.—Aetiological factors.—The alleged Aetiological factors
were " Toxic " *(chiefly ganja) in 19 cases in 1912, in 21 in 1913 and in 23 in
1914;
'' Mental instability " (sic) in 3 cases in 1912, in 2 in 1913 and in 4 in
1914 ; " Physiological defects and errors " in 1 case in 1912, in 1 in 1913 and
in 3 in 1914.
" Diseases of the nervous system " in
5 cases in 1912, in 2 in 1913 and in
4 in 1914; "Mental Stress" in 2 cases
in 1912, in 18 in 1913, and in 10 in 1914 ;
" Heredity " in 3 cases in 1912, in 2 in
1913 and in no cases in 1914; " Critical
period " in no cases in 1912, in 2 in 1913
and in 1 in 1914 ; " Traumatic " in 1 case
in 1912 only; and "Other bodily afflic-
tions " also in 1 case in 1912.
No causes were either assigned or ascertained in 37 cases in 1912, in 62 in
1913 and in 51 in 1914.
Cf. Ganja Commission's report.
One may fairly criticise the so-called causes. '' ganja does not seem to
cause insanity but rather to be taken by
the weak-minded." " Mental instability"
cannot be called a cause. It would be interesting to be informed what the
" Physiological defects " meant, since insanity itself might be called " Physio-
logical defect ".
It would be well if certifying officers were more careful in their statements.
The revised form for this Statement VII came into force in 1912. The form
is defective inasmuch as predisposing and exciting causes are stated irrespec-
tive of the case or the type of insanity with which they are correlated.
14. Injuries and accidents.—In 1913 a lunatic having homicidal tendencies
entered the cell of another lunatic and strangled him to death. Judicial en-
quiry was held and the matter was duly reported. The warders who were found
guilty of negligence were either fined or dismissed. In 1914 there was a case
of fracture of skull causing death. It could not be accounted for as there was
no evidence. It may have been accidental but was probably homicidal. The
warders through whose negligence this happened were punished with dismissal
and fines.

Many improvements have been made and the asylum is better than it was
but its inmates cannot be adequately watched and cared for until the need for
an increased recurring charge on account of an adequate number of keepers is
faced. At present we cannot have more than 15 keepers on duty at a time,
that is, one warder for every 17 lunatics and it is impossible to watch the
insanes adequately even with this number nor is it sound to employ half the
keepers at a time as we are compelled to do during the day. The duties of these
men strain them physically and it is not to be wondered that their patience is
often exhausted.
