FROM
THE HON'BLE MR. J. D. SIFTON, I.C.S.,
SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA, MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,
HOME DEPARTMENT
Dated Ranchi, the 17th June 1918.
SIR,
I AM directed to submit for the information of the Government of
India a copy of the Triennial Report on the working of the Lunatic Asylum at
Patna for the years 1915,1916 and 1917, together with a copy of a Resolution
recorded thereon by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. D. SIFTON,
Secretary to Government.
No. 7494.
FROM
THE HON'BLE COLONEL G. J. H. BELL, C.I.E., M.B., I.M.S.,
INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
BIHAR AND ORISSA,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR AND
ORISSA, MUNICIPAL DEPARTMENT.
Dated Ranchi-Secretariat, the 16th May 1918.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of the Lieutenant-
Governor in Council, the statistical returns of the Patna Lunatic Asylum for
the year 1917 together with a report by the Superintendent on the working
of the Asylum during the triennial period ending the 31st December 1917.
The Superintendent's report is constructed on the usual recognized method and
is sufficiently full for all practical purposes.
2. The noteworthy event of the period was the local audit of the accounts
of the Asylum in 1917. The accounts of the Asylum had never been audited
during its whole previous existence and the audit was carried out for the
purpose of investigating certain irregularities committed by the overseer.
The latter has fully indemnified Government against the losses and deficiencies
discovered but is still on medical leave which has consequently delayed the
departmental proceedings ordered to be taken against him. With the appoint-
ment of a whole-time Deputy Superintendent and the attention already
directed to the matter, the state of affairs may be expected to improve.
3. In my letter No. 1850, dated the 25th February 1918, I submitted, for
budgetting purposes, a preliminary report of the cost of improving the Asylum.
The scheme of improvements consists of three main items—(1) protection of
site from floods, (2) system of water-supply and distribution, (3) improvement
of the hospital. The first item could be dispensed with if the general scheme
for the protection of the whole town from floods be taken in hand in good
time, the second would be difficult of execution for want of galvanized iron
pipes and other materials, while for the last I have instructed the Superin-
tendent that, as the new Central Asylum for Indian insanes is being built
at Ranchi, it would not be proper to incur the expense of reconstructing
the hospital at Patna. The whole condition of affairs at the Patna Lunatic
Asylum points to the great desirability of expediting the completion of the
Ranchi Lunatic Asylum.
4. The Bihar and Orissa Lunatic Asylums Manual is still under
consideration but it is hoped that it may be found possible to issue it before
the end of the current year.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. J. H. BELL, C.I.E., M.B., COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Bihar and Orissa.

proportion. The excreta of 398 (old 305—new 93) patients in 1915, 388
(old 309—new 79) in 1916 and 384 (old 302—new 82) in 1917 were examined

It is impossible to correct this enormous Entozoal prevalence when
segregation and constant watching are impossible with a limited number of
keepers. The cause of increase of Diarrhœa in 1915 and 1916 was partly the
delay of the Public Works Department in repairing the pump which was out
of order for nearly six months when the drinking water had to be obtained from
an inferior source.
Eleven insanes were admitted to Hospital suffering from Tuberculosis in
1915, 10 in 1916 and 10 in 1917, the number of deaths being 10, 10 and 9,
respectively. The diagnosis was confirmed microscopically and the cases were
treated with Tuberculine and the open air method, for which a ward was
constructed in 1916. No special reason can be given for the increase of this
disease except that some patients were received who were suffering from
Tuberculosis.
Pyrexia of uncertain origin gave 24 admissions in 1915, 35 in 1916 and
15 in 1917. There was no death from this disease. Pneumonia gave one
admission in 1915 and 3 in 1917 with only one death in 1917. Epilepsy was
responsible for one death in 1915 and 2 in 1917. Kala-azar gave 3 admissions
in 1915, 2 in 1916 and one in 1917 with 3, 1 and 1 deaths, respectively. So
common outside, it is extraordinary that more lunatics have not been affected.
Anæmia gave 2 admissions in 1915, 2 in 1916 and 10 in 1917 with only
1 death in 1915. The etiological factors of these cases were not discovered.
Of Zymotic diseases, none broke out in the Asylum during the triennium.
It is satisfactory to note here that although plague was very prevalent in
adjoining quarters it did not reach the inmates.
5
Idiocy.—Two were admitted in 1915, 2 in 1916 and 1 in 1917. The
recoveries under this type was 1 in 1915 and 1 in 1917.
There were only one admission and one recovery in 1915 under head
Post Febrile Insanity. Of 7 lunatics who were admitted for mental stupor
in the triennial period under review, none recovered.
There were 23 admissions with 8 recoveries in 1915, 35 with 7 recoveries
in 1916 and 35 with 15 recoveries in 1917 or 23.23, 39.77 and 39.33 per cent,
respectively, under head " Declared to have recovered or not yet diagnosed".

13. Statement VII.—Ætiological factors.—The alleged ætiological factors
were toxic (chiefly ganja) in 27 cases
in 1915, 22 in 1916 and 14 in 1917 ;
Heredity in 1 case in 1916 and 1 in 1917 ;
Mental Instability in 2 cases in 1915,
1 in 1916 and 1 in 1917 ; Deprivation
of special senses in 1 case in 1915 and 1 in
1916; Child Bearing in 1 case in 1916 ;
Mental Stress in 12 cases in 1915, 13 in
1916 and 7 in 1917; Physiological defects
and errors in 3 cases in 1915 and 2 in
1916 ; Traumatic in one case in 1915
and one in 1917 ; Disease of the nervous
system in 3 cases in 1915, 5 cases in 1916
and 1 case in 1917.
No causes were assignable in 24 cases in 1915, 26 in 1916 and 53 in 1917,
and no causes were ascertained in 14 cases in 1915, 2 in 1916 and 1 in 1917.
14. Injuries and Accidents.—There were a few cases of assaults and
accidents, all of them were of a trivial nature, slight wounds, sprains, burns,
etc., requiring no comments. It is satisfactory to note that the inmates of
this Asylum did not suffer from any serious injuries during the triennium
under review.
15. Escapes.—There were 3 escapes during the year 1915, of whom
2 were criminals and 1 non-criminal. Both the criminal lunatics were
recaptured. Two criminal lunatics escaped during the year 1916, of whom 1
was readily recaptured and brought back to the Asylum, the other being still at
large. In the year 1917, 4 lunatics escaped. Three of these were criminals
and 1 non-criminal. One non-criminal and 2 criminal lunatics were recap-
tured. All measures required under section 44 of the Bengal Lunatic Asylums
Manual, 1910, for the recapture of the lunatics were taken. The defaulting
keepers and head keepers were suitably punished and in some cases reward was
given to the persons capturing the lunatics.
16. Statement VIII.—The total amount spent for the maintenance of this
Asylum was Rs. 63,034-14-0 in 1915, Rs. 35,116-2-7 in 1916 and Rs. 41,167-10-6
in 1917, an average of Rs. 46,439-9-0 against Rs. 36,579-3-8 in the last trien-
nium. The cost per lunatic was Rs. 200-2-11 in 1915, Rs. 113-13-6 in 1916 and
Rs. 137-10-1 in 1917. Excluding the Public Works charges, the average cost
per head was Rs. 151-3-10 in 1915, Rs. 103-7-6 in 1916 and Rs. 127-6-6 in 1917
8
Sanitation.—Due attention was paid to the sanitation of the Asylum.
Formerly conservancy used to be carried out on the dry earth system
and the night-soil used to be buried in the Asylum garden but the
available area for trenching night-soil was built over, and it is now removed
in Municipal carts. The stools of Dysentery and Ankylostomiasis patients
were burnt. The wards and cells were daily flushed with phenyle and
were kept clean and dry. The wards and hospitals were frequently whitewashed.
All possible precautions were taken with regard to the drinking water by boiling
it and then distributing the same in locked drums fitted with taps. Sugges-
tions were made in the year 1917 to distribute the drinking water to all the
wards and hospitals through hydrants for which plans and estimates amounting
to Rs. 6,511, were submitted.
The list of visitors was revised and more visitors were appointed in the
year 1917. There was no difficulty in securing a quorum during the
triennium.
