TRIENNIAL REPORT
ON THE
PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUM IN ASSAM
FOR THE
Years 1915, 1916 and 1917.
Statement No. I.
Lieutenant-Colonel E. C. MacLeod, I.M.S., held charge of the Provincial Lunatic
introductory
Asylum at Tezpur, from the 1st January to the 15th
March 1915 and Major J. "W. McCoy, I.M.S., from the
16th March 1915 to the end of the triennium.
Senior-grade, Class I, Sub-Assistant Surgeon Rai Sahib Girish Chandra Das was
Deputy Superintendent from the 1st January 1915 to the 11th J uly 1916 and 3rd-
grade Sub-Assistant Surgeon Mukhtar Hussain from the 12th July 1916 to the end of
the triennium.
General.
The total number of lunatics under confinement was 420 in 1915, 477 in 1916
and 459 in 1917, against 298 in 1912, 303 in 1918 and 355
in 1914, a large increase during the triennium under
review.
The main features regarding admissions during the two triennia were that the
daily average strength increased from 281*15 in 1914 to 341*44 in 1917, the number of
admissions and re-admissions rose from 235 to 370 and that 1915 gave the largest
number of admissions, viz., 323. The districts of Sylhet, Lakhimpur and Kamrup
furnished the largest numbers.
The number of re-admissions has increased from 16 in the previous triennium to
.
32 in the present. Of these, 7 were criminal and the rest
non-criminal. The criminal lunatics were re-admitted
after trial and the non-criminals at intervals of 7 months to 13 years.
The number of discharges, excluding observation cases and escapes, was 70 in 1917
or an average of 59*33, against 27 in the previous trien-
lsc arges.
nium. There were 64 recoveries in 1917, and an aver-
age of 51*33 for the triennium against an average of 23 during the previous 3 years.
The number made over to their friends and relatives as mentally improved was 6 in
1917, and an average of 8'00 against 3*6 in the triennium preceding. The percentage
of recoveries on the daily average strength was 9*85 in 1915,16*1 in 1916 and 18*74 in
Ml.
Escapes numbered 63 against 8 in the previous triennium. Of these, 57 were
recaptured and 6 are still at large. As many as 47 occur-
scape3 *
red from inside the palisading. It appears that in the
previous triennium only those escapes which remained uncaptured at the end of each
year were shown as having escaped. The present figures are an accurate record of
existing conditions and for obvious reasons cannot be compared with the figures of the
previous triennium. The large number of escapes is probably due to an inferior
peeper establishment, good up-country men not being available for service, and to the
*&ot that a certain amount of latitude must be given to the inmates inside the enclo-
sure.
The total number of criminal lunatics admitted were 35 in 1917, and an average

of 31*66 against 19'7 in the triennium ending 1914. Of

Of the 356 admissions and re-admissions, 218 or 60'G7 per cent, were natives of

per cent, were Christians and 30 or 8*43 per cent, belonged to other castes. The per-
centage figures for the previous triennium were 82*55, 11*91, 1*28 and 4*26, respec-
tively. The proportion of males to females was 5 to 1, against 4 to 1 in the previous
triennium.

Types and alleged causes of in- cholia were 26 in 1915, 44 in 1916 and 47 in 1917. The

number of recoveries from Mania were 17 in 1915, 36 in
1916 and 30 in 1917, and from Melancholia 6, 12 and 20, respectively. Of the 93
new admissions in 1917 the causes of insanitv were known in 65 cases, or 69*09 per
cent., against 68*18 per cent, in 1916 and 72*73 per cent, in 1915.

The decrease in malaria admissions is satisfactory and is probably due to a daily
issue of 6 grains of quinine from April to October in place of 15 grains twice a week
on two days running, and also to increased attention being paid to drainage in and
around the Asylum.
The decrease in the admissions for tuberculosis in 1917 shows the extent to which
overcrowding is responsible for the prevalence of this disease, as the construction of
a new barrack and increasing the ventilation of existing ones have reduced the number
0 f admissions from 22 in 1916 to 8 in 1917.
The gradual increase in the daily average number of sick is due to tubercular
cases, when once admitted to hospital, remaining on the register, and to skin diseases
and epileptic cases being shown as admissions to hospital and not as out-door cases.
There were 29 deaths in 1915, 52 in 1916 and 19 in 1917, the percentage of
deaths to daily average strength being 8'92, 14f41 and 5*56, respectively, against 20'23
per cent, in 1912, 9'47 per cent, in 1913 and 6'05 per cent, in 1914.

The striking features about the mortality are (1) that deaths from tubercle repre-
sented only 25 per cent, of the total deaths during the triennium under report against
50 per cent, in the previous one and (2) that it has been largely dependent upon the
accommodation provided. Whenever this was strained the number of deaths in
general and from tubercle in particular have always gone up. This is illustrated in
the table below:—-

Rules were framed during 1917 under Section 91(1) of the Indian Lunacy Act,
1912 (IV of 1912).
The improved health of inmates during 1917 was mainly due to the provision of
increased accommodation, the improvement of ventilation
in existing barracks, and the attention to every detail
connected with the health of inmates given by the Superintendent. Other Asylum
buildings constructed during the triennium were:—
1. Sub-Assistant Surgeon's quarters.
2. Two compounders' quarters.
3. Jamadar's quarters.
4i. Married keepers' quarters.
5. Un-married keepers' quarters.
6. Rat-proof cloth godown.
7. Sweepers' quarters.
8. An annexe to the cookshed.
Two additional bathing troughs and platforms were built and the palisading was
extended, increasing the area of the enclosure by 1,110 square yards. Discipline has
improved, but a good deal more remains to be effected.
Credit is due to Major J. W. McCoy, I.M.S., for his careful management of the
Asylum.
