The increase in admissions to hospital during the triennium was largely due to
prevalence of Malaria locally.

There were 21 deaths in 1921, 27 in 1922 and 30 in 1923, the percentage
deaths to daily average strength being 5*63, G*0S and 6*75, respectively, against 5'8
1918, 5*21 in 1919 and 3*51 in 1920.
During the triennium Tuberculosis was responsible for 25*61 per cent, oi
mortality against 26*31 per cent, in the preceding triennium.

twice by the Commissioner of Assam Valley Division and four times by the Inspector
General of Civil Hospitals, Assam. There were 36 meetings of the Committee of
visitors against 35 in the previous triennium.
The general health of the inmates was not quite so good during 1922 and 1923
General Eemarks
as in previous years owing to overcrowding, influenza and
malarial fever, but still statistics show that this Mental
Hospital has the lowest death-rate in India except Bombay, which is only just a
fraction better.
There was one case of suicide during the triennium, the night guarding
arrangements were enquired into during the year and some improvements were in-
troduced, but these were of necessity of a restricted nature, as no increase in strength
of attendants could be considered.
I suppose it is difficult to prevent escapes from a Mental Hospital at the best
of times, but it is to be noted that no less than 20 of the 29 escapes took place from
inside the institution.
The institution is surrounded by a palisade made of bamboos stood on end.
The end in the grounds becomes rotten in course of time, so the bamboo is taken
tip and turned, I trust it will be possible to build an enclosure wall shortly, and also
to provide the extra accommodation which is so urgently required.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ritchie has been in charge of this hospital almost throughout
the triennium, and has carried out his duties with skill and tact. He has been ably
assisted by Sub-Assistant Surgeon Mukhtar Hussain, the Deputy Superintendent,
