THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT
DEPARTMENT.
Dated Patna, the 24th April 1924.
Subject : — Triennial Report of the Patna Mental Hospital
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
triennial report on the working of the Patna mental hospital during the years
1921, 1922 and 1923 together with the statistical returns, in the prescribed
forms, for the year 1923. The report which has been prepared by Lieutenant-
Colonel H. R. Dutton, I.M.S., Superintendent of the hospital, is self-explanatory
and requires no further comments. The report of the Ranchi European
mental hospital will be published separately by the Board of Trustees of that
institution.
2. Every endeavour has been made to complete the buildings required in
connection with the establishment of the mental hospital for Indian patients
at Ranchi and it is hoped that within eighteen months all will be ready and
the new hospital will be in a position to receive patients.
I have the honour to be,.
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
H. AINSWORTH, M.B., F.R.C.S., COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa.
TRIENNIAL REPORT
ON THE WORKING OF THE
PATNA MENTAL HOSPITAL
FOR THE YEARS
1921, 1922 & 1923.
Capacity.—This mental hospital can well accommodate without over-
crowding—275 males and 66 females, allowing 50 square feet for each patient.
There was no overcrowding this year ; the maximum inmates in one night was
288 as compared with those of two previous years—281 in 1922 and 275 in
1921.
Population.—The total number of lunatics treated in this institution was
316 in 1921, 323 in 1922 and 331 in 1923. There was gradual increase in
numbers owing to greater number of admissions.
The total number re-admitted was 7 in 1921, 2 in 1922 and 2 in 1923, the
total number discharged from this institution was in 1921—17, in 1922—41
and in 1923—27. Of these, 9, 38 and 21 cases were cured in 1921, 1922 and
1923, respectively. The percentage of cured to daily average strength was
3.35, 14.15 and 7.67 in 1921, 1922 and 1923, respectively or an average of 8.39
against 14.22 in the previous triennium. This decrease is partly due to greater
number of incurable form of mental diseases, i.e., dementia præcox and
imbecility and greater number of military patients admitted and their rapid
recovery during the year 1922.
Sickness and Mortality.—The total number of admissions in the hospital
was 394 in 1921, 452 in 1922 and 430 in 1923, i.e. 1,276 against 1,228 in the
previous triennium. The daily average sick was 57.50 in 1921, 44.97 in 1922
and 39.56 in 1923. The decrease of sickness in the year 1923 was due to
improved dietary scale and prophylactic treatment efficiently carried out; an
average of 47.34 against 37.18 in the previous triennium. The increase is
due to an epidemic of dengue fever during the year 1923. The total number
of tubercular cases was 30 during the triennium under report against 34 of
the previous triennium. These cases have been segregated in an open ward
and have been systematically treated with sodium morrhuate. The result is
good. They have improved considerably. The admission for dysentery cases
was 20 in 1921, 20 in 1922 and 36 in 1923. The increase is due to relapses
amongst the old cases which were chiefly due to the entamœba histolytica. The
total number of cases of ankylostomiasis admitted in the hospital during the
year 1921 was 33, in 1922—9 and in 1923—33. The increase is due to the
admission of cases already infected with ankylostoma and re-infection among
the patients who were of dirty habits of eating garbage, leaves, etc., and also of
coprophagic and geophagic habits.
The largest number of admissions was from dysentery, diarrhœa, fever,
i.e. malaria and dengue, ankylostomiasis and other minor complaints, viz.,
injuries, sprains, etc.
The total number of deaths was 28 in 1921, 21 in 1922 and 20 in 1923.
The causes of death were chiefly due to ankylostomiasis and tuberculosis.
The average number of deaths during these three years under report was 23
against 35 in the previous triennium.
Criminal Lunatics.—The number of criminal lunatics under treatment is
gradually increasing from 116.32 in 1921 to 121.15 in 1922 and to 121.92 in
1923.

Employment.—It is very difficult to employ the lunatics in any form of
good work, as the majority of them are of low intelligence and refused to do
any work and some of them are unfit for any sort of work, The willing and
healthy lunatics were employed in gardening, cooking, road repairing, watering
and grinding grains; also as blacksmiths, carpenters and lastly in weaving
durries.
Well-behaved and hardworking lunatics were rewarded with small
monthly stipends which they were allowed either to deposit in the Post Office
Savings Bank or to buy anything they wished.
Proper attention was paid to the sanitary condition of the Patna mental
hospital. Stools of dysentery cases were trenched by the municipality. The
drinking water is chlorinated with bleaching powder. Tubercular and
dysentery cases were segregated. The stools of all cases were examined
regularly and cases infected with intestinal parasites were systematically
treated. The wards and cells were daily cleaned and washed with lime.
Prophylactic doses of quinine and thymol have been given periodically.
