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 (MEDICAL) DEPARTMENT.
Ranchi Secretariat, the 5th May, 1917.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit for the information of the Lieutenant-
Governor in Council the prescribed statistical returns of the Patna Lunatic
Asylum for the year 1916. They are sufficiently explained by the prefatory
remarks of the Superintendent and any further notes on them would be of
little use.
2. The high rate of mortality at the Asylum as compared with that at
other Provincial Asylums was noticed last year by His Honour in Council
and a full report on the probable causes with proposed measures for improve-
ment was submitted by me in my letter No. 10357, dated the 8th November
1916, after a thorough inspection of the institution. The death-rate for the
year under report shows some improvement as compared with that of the
previous year. As a result of these inquiries, steps are being taken to attempt
to improve, as far as practicable, the sanitary and conservancy arrangements
as also other structural deficiencies, which are removable at a moderate cost.
The establishment at Ranchi of the proposed Central Asylum for Indian Insanes
from Bengal and Bihar and Orissa and the consequent abolition of the Patna
institution must necessarily limit further avoidable expenditure on the latter.
3. The proposal for the appointment of a Civil Assistant Surgeon as
Deputy Superintendent of the Asylum has recently been sanctioned by the
Local Government. The scale of pay of the keeper staff has been substantially
raised with effect from the 1st March 1917 and this with the introduction of a
system of security deposit are measures calculated to increase their efficiency
in future. It has been found difficult, or rather impossible, to check the
practice of the Asylum staff of sweepers working simultaneously under
assumed names for the local Municipality. This matter is one in which the
co-operation of the Municipal Commissioners is essential.
4. The new Bihar and Orissa Lunatic Asylum Manual is now under the
consideration of the Local Government.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. J. H. BELL, C.I.E., M.B.,
Colonel, I. M. S.
Inspector- General of Civil Hospitals, Bihar and Orissa.
NOTES
ON THE WORKING OF THE
PATNA LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR
1916.
Statement I.—At the commencement of the year there were 268 maless
41 females, or a total of 309 inmates under treatment in this Asylum. The
average daily strength was 310.03. The number admitted during the year
was 59 males and 13 females, the figures representing re-admissions being
12 males and 4 females. Those discharged numbered 51 males (including
one case of escape) , 9 females ; and the deaths were 32 males and 3
females. The net decrease in the population was, therefore, 7 only, the
males having decreased by 12 and the females increased by 5. Of those
discharged, 25 males and 3 females were cured; 8 males and 2 females
were made over to their friends in improved condition ; one escaped ; and
17 were discharged otherwise from the Asylum. The percentage of those
cured to the daily average strength was 9.03, and to admissions 31.81,
against 11.73 and 37.37, respectively, in the previous year.
The capacity of the Asylum is 356 (for males 290 and for females 66).
The capacity for male criminal lunatics is still inadequate but this defect
will be removed as soon as the new criminal ward, which is in course of
construction, is completed.
SICKNESS AND MORTALITY.
There were 401 patients treated in the Hospital during the year 1916,
336 males and 65 females. The daily average sick was 23.06 as compared
with 22.61 in 1915. The important admissions were for Dysentery 40 (14
amæbic and 26 Bacillary), Pyrexia of uncertain origin 35, Ankylostomiasis 73,
Conjunctivitis 17, Tuberculosis 10, Diarrhœa 20, Abscess 31, Injury on Scalp
25, Kala-Azar 2, Diseases of the Respiratory System 12, Anæmia of unknown
origin 2. Whenever possible, the diagnosis was verified by microscopic examina-
tion. The increase in the number of patients this year is due to a large number
of admissions for Ankylostomiasis, Injuries, Pyrexia of uncertain cause
and Dysentery. Repeated admissions of some of the cases is partly responsible
for this increase.
The total mortality was 35, as compared with 41 in 1915, i.e., 112.89 per
mille, as compared with 130.08. The mortality was 24.94 per mille for the
Patna Municipality.
The causes of death as verified by post-mortem examination were—
Ankylostomiasis ... ... ...
Tubercle of the Lung ... ... ...
Kala-Azar ... ... ...
Empyema ... ... ... ...
Dysentery ... ... ...

Five chronic cases were taken over from the previous year. Out of 79
admissions, 59 were received in bad health and 4 in indifferent health, of
whom 10 died. Eating of mud, fæces and grass were specially frequent
during the year. Dysentery, Diarrhœa and Ankylostomiasis may be attribu-
ted to these causes acting before and after admission. A routine examina-
tion of excreta, blood and sputum was made in all cases. The excreta of 38S
(old 309 + new 79) were examined with the following results :—
Ova of Ankylostoma ...

CRIMINAL LUNATICS.
Statement II.—There were 147 criminal lunatics in the Asylum on the
1st January 1916. The number of patients of this class admitted and re-
admitted during the year was 42, of whom 36 were males and six females ; 26
males and one female were discharged or transferred and 17 males died, leaving
131 males and 14 females, or a total of 145 criminal lunatics under treat-
ment at the close of the year. The daily average strength was 145.28 in 1916
against 145.26 in 1915. There has been no undue detention of criminal
lunatics convicted of trivial offences, as the number of this class was reduced
as far as possible in pursuance of the orders of Government enjoining release
of such classes.
RELIGION, SEX AND RESIDENCE.
Statement III.—Out of 69 admissions and readmissions during the year,
Hindus contributed 59, Muhammadans 4, Christian 1 and the rest were of
other castes. In some of the cases, the castes were not known.
OCCUPATION.
Statement IV.—Out of a total of 69 admissions and readmissions, culti-
vators furnished 19, labourers 6, beggars 6, servants 3 and clerk 1. The
rest belonged to various other callings.
AGES.
Statement V.— Out of 69 admissions and readmissions, 5 were under 20,
47 were between 20 and 40, and 16 were between 40 to 60. There was only one
admission upwards of 60 years of age.
TYPES OF INSANITY.
Statement VI.—Mania in its various forms was the common type of insanity,
for which 24 patients were admitted and 10 recovered. Dementia with 10 admis-
sions comes next in numerical importance. The number of recoveries under this
type was 5. Insanity caused by Cannabis Indica or its preparations or derivatives
accounts for 8 admissions with 2 recoveries. Four cases were admitted under
head Delusional Insanity with no recovery. Mental Stupor was responsible
for 2 admissions. Possibly the five cases of recovery from Dementia should
come under this head. No recovery under this type. There were 2 admis-
sions and 3 recoveries under Melancholia. Two cases were admitted under head
"Idiocy " with no recovery.
3
ÆTIOLOGICAL
FACTOR.
Statement VII.—The ætiological factor in 2 cases was heredity, in 2 cases
mental instability, in 1 deprivation of special senses, in 2 child-bearing, in 17
mental stress, in 3 physiological defects and errors, in 37 cases toxic, and in 6
diseases of the nervous system. No causes were either assigned or ascertained
in 28 cases. (In 29 cases, 25 males and 4 females, there were both exciting and
predisposing causes, thus accounting for a total number of 98 against 69 new
admissions.)
FINANCE—EXPENDITURE.
Statement VIII.—The
total receipts under all heads aggregated to
Rs. 35,397 against Rs. 63,478 in 1915, and Rs. 43,566 in 1914. The decrease is
partly due to the falling off in the average strength, but chiefly to less expen-
diture on Public Works, Diet and Contingent charges.
The comparative charges for 1915 and 1916 were :—

The average cost per head including expenditure on manufacture was
Rs. 113-13-6, as compared with Rs. 200-2-11 in 1915.
Statement IX.—The general conduct of the staff was indifferent. Only
an inferior class of men can be obtained on the present rate of pay. They
shirk duty and are dishonest in other ways.
The lunatics are employed in gardening, ' atta' and 'dal' making,
carpentry and smith's work, etc. Newspapers and books were provided to
literate lunatics.
General Remarks.— Amusements were provided at a cost of Rs. 41-8-0.
The system of rewarding hard-working and well-behaved lunatics continued
during the year. Quinine as a prophylactic was issued to the lunatics
during the unhealthy season of the year. A new ward for criminal males
with 40 beds is under construction. When this is completed the overcrowd-
ing in the male criminal ward will be removed.
