The marked rise in the number o.f admissions to hospital is due chiefly to ** Dysen-
tery " and " all other diseases ". Under the latter head, 24 cases of cholera are in-
cluded. The number of admissions for diarrhoaa increased from 3 in 1926 to 17.
Only 4 patients were admitted for malaria, due largely to the regular prophylactic
issue of cinchona febrifuge. Only one case of influenza occurred.
The figures for tuberculosis are the same as last year, viz., 11.
Dysentery was very prevalent, 102 patients including re-admissions being admit-
ted against 39 in 1925. Most of the cases were " amoebic " in type. There were 23
deaths from this cause in a total mortality of 47 against 11 in a total of 33 in 1926.
Cholera broke out on 29th September and continued till 14th October, attacking
24 inmates and causing 9 deaths. The patients were all in the convalescent and debi-
litated gang except one who was confined in a cell. This gang is fed separately near
the hospital. No cases occurred in the healthy gang, or in female or tubercle enclo-
sures, Oi.* in cells (except the case noted above). The Superintendent was unable to
trace the exact origin of the outbreak, but it may have been due to a " carrier " or *
now admission, as cholera was prevalent during the rains at every " ghat " on tho
river.
Under present conditions it is impossible to avoid the incidence of gastro-intestipal
diseases from time to time, owing to the filthy habits of many of the inmates of a
Mental Hospital and to over crowding in the pucca barracks, which are limited HJ
number. The temporary barracks remain more or less vacant as they are mostly
unsafe and cannot therefore bo utilised for patients who have dangerous propensities.
The percentage of new admissions in bad health was 13*64, indifferent heaW
54-54 and in good health 31*82 against 27*78, 53*70, 18*52, respectively, in 1926.

There were 47 deaths against 33 and 29 in previous years. The increase is due to
the mortality from dysentery and cholera. Fourty-one out of the total of 47 were due
to dysentery 23, tuberculosis 9 and cholera 9. The figures for these diseases in 1926
Were 11, 13, and nil, respectively.
Two patients died of pneumonia, one from an accidental injury to the spine, one
from pyaemic infection and the other two from cardiac and renal diseases.
The following table shews the ratios of deaths per cent, of average strength
