No. D/1425 OF 1914
From
THE HONOURABLE SURGEON-GENERAL R.W.S. LYONS, M.D., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay ;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
General Department, Bombay.
OFFICE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY :
Poona, 23rd April 1914.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the Annual
Report on the Asylums for the treatment of Insane in the Bombay Presidency
for the year 1913.
Buildings and Repairs.
2. The construction of the new Central Asylum at Yeravda was completed
during the year at a cost of Rs. 10,15,271. The Asylum which was built for
276 males and 110 females was opened on the 4th of June 1913. The Colaba
Lunatic Asylum and the Poona Lunatic Asylum were closed and the inmates
transferred to this Asylum. In this Asylum the yard provided for male criminal
insanes accommodates only 31 patients and is not nearly large enough. It
would be sufficiently large, however, for violent and dirty cases for whom no
provision has been made. It will be necessary in the near future to utilise it
for this purpose and to build a larger and more suitable yard for male criminal
insanes.
3. Additions have been made to the accommodation of the Asylums
mentioned below as follows :—
(a) At Ratnágiri certain unused quarters were converted into 5
separate cells.
(b) At Dhárwár accommodation for 13 criminal male lunatics was
provided by additions and alterations to old female cells, which were vacated
when the new female accommodation was built.
(c) At Ahmedabad 20 additional cells under construction were com-
pleted and taken into use.
Water Supply.
4. The supply has been sufficient at all the Asylums except the Central
Asylum, Yeravda, where a good deal of inconvenience is caused by the cutting
off of the water from 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. and from the absence of stand pipes.
This has been brought to the notice of the Executive Engineer for Irrigation.
The well used for drinking water at Naupada is regularly permanganated, as
stated in the last year's report. The work of removing the pumping machinery
to a distance and covering up the well to prevent any surface contamination has
been sanctioned and will be shortly taken in hand.
5. In the following remarks the patients transferred from Colaba and
Poona Asylums to the Yeravda Asylum are not included as "admissions" to
Yeravda. The figures given are actuals and differ from those shown in the
statements in which 287 patients from Colaba and Poona have been shown as
admitted to Yeravda. This has been done with a view to comparing the total
number treated this year with that of previous year.
L 56—1

STATEMENT No. I.
Total Population.
6. The total population of the asylums was 1,450 as compared with 1,458
in 1912. The admissions and re-admissions numbered 337 males and 71 females
as compared with 353 males and 76 females admitted during the previous year.
Daily Average Strength.
7. The daily average strength was 1,105.3 (males 871.9 and females 233.4)
as compared with 1,048.9 (males 836.9 and females 212.0) in 1912.
Discharges and Cures.
8. Of the total number of insanes treated during the year 137 were dis-
charged cured against 128 in 1912 and 104 insanes were transferred to the care
of friends against 108 in 1912. Of those transferred under this head 75 had
improved and 29 had not improved while under treatment.
9. Of the 14 insanes discharged " otherwise " 2 were transferred to other
asylums, 6 escaped, 5 were removed to the non-criminal list and 1 was sent for
trial.
Sickness.
10. The daily average of sick in 1913 was 52.1 as compared with 39.8 in
1912. The increase was due to the large number of admissions at Yeravda
Asylum which gave a daily average of 24.7. This was mainly due to admissions
for malaria (19), tubercular diseases (10) and bowel complaints (17). The
general health of insanes was satisfactory with the exception of those at Yeravda,
Naupada and Hyderabad. At Naupada Asylum the general health was fair.
The number of admissions into hospital fell from 136 (in 1912) to 63 but dysen-
tery and diarrhœa are still too prevalent. At the Hyderabad Asylum malarial
fevers and cachexia were prevalent. There was no outbreak of epidemic
disease in any asylum.
Mortality.
11. The mortality was low as compared with the previous year. There
were 106 deaths against 160 in 1912. The ratio of deaths to the daily average
strength was 9.6 per cent. against 15.3 per cent. in 1912. There was a marked
decrease at Naupada, the mortality being 16.1 per cent. against 30.4 per cent.
Of the total number of deaths in all the asylums 31 or 29.25 per cent. were due
to tuberculosis. Of these 10 deaths occured at Naupada, 5 at Yeravda, 4 at
Poona, 3 each at Colába, Hyderabad and Ratnágiri, 2 at Dhárwár and 1 at
Ahmedabad. Diarrhœa and dysentery were responsible for 28 deaths, the
largest number of cases having occurred at Naupada.
STATEMENT No. II.
Criminal Insanes.
12. On 1st January 1913 the number of criminal insanes at the several
asylums was 158. During the year 68 criminal insanes were admitted and
1 was re-admitted. The total population was 227 (212 males and 15 females)
against 211 (197 males and 14 females). The daily average strength of this
class of insanes was 170.8 as compared with 155.5 in 1912 an increase of
9.8 per cent.
STATEMENT No. III.
Religion, Sex and Residence of the insanes admitted.
13. Of the 408 insanes admitted during the year, there were 26 Europeans
and Eurasians, 25 Indian Christians, 222 Hindus and 117 Mahomedans. 18 be-
longed to other races.
