5. From Statements IX and XI it is gathered that the following cash
receipts were paid into the Treasury by the two Asylums during the years
1887 and 1888 respectively: —

Jubbulpore seems to have been more fortunate than Nagpur in the matter
of paying patients.
6. The expenditure on "Establishments proper" (i. e., excluding pay of
the Superintendent) is shown by column 6 of Statement IX to have been
as under:—

There was thus an increase in the cost of establishment in both Asylums,
which is not explained. The large expenditure on Contingencies in Nagpur
(Rs. 745 against Rs. 123 in Jubbulpore) also calls for explanation. It may be
surmised on a comparison of the figures of the two Asylums that manufac-
ture contingencies are entered under this head at Nagpur. The value of
articles received from the Manufactory departments is in Nagpur given (in
Table IX) at Rs. 5,522 against Rs. 958 in Jubbulpore. The explanation is
that Rs. 4,747 value of work done by the Public Works Department at
Nagpur is shown under this heading of the cash account.
7. The average cost of each lunatic in the two Asylums, as compared with
the cost in the previous year, was :—

In the case of the Jubbulpore Asylum, increase in cost was chiefly due to
greater expenditure on diet and clothing, the dearness of grain having influenced
the cost of the former.

ment XI. The figures for two years are abstracted below :—

attention to the welfare of the lunatics under their charge.

Surgeon-General for information and guidance ; also that copies, bound with the
Report, be distributed as usual.

FROM

DEPUTY SURGEON GENERAL.
Central Provinces,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER,
Central Provinces.
Dated Nagpur, the 27th April 1889.
SIR ,
I have the honour to forward, for submission to the Chief Commissioner,
the Annual Report and Statements of Nagpur and Jubbulpore Lunatic Asylums
for the year 1888.
2. At Nagpur a zanana compound wall with a cook-house for the Deputy
Superintendent, quarters for keepers and a latrine for lunatics were built.
At Jubbulpore the usual annual repairs were made by the Public Works Depart-
ment. A new roof with large Jubbulpore tiling was put on by order of the
Commissioner.
STATEMENT I.
3. The number of admissions at Nagpur was less by 7 when compared with
that of 1887, while at Jubbulpore they were 10 more than in 1887.
4. The number discharged from the Nagpur Asylum was less by one-half
than in 1887. Out of the 19 patients discharged from the Nagpur Asylum, 9
were cured and 5 improved ; at Jubbulpore 6 patients were discharged all were
actually cured. The daily average strength was 7.27 less at Nagpur, 5.68 more
in Jubbulpore than in 1887.
5. The percentage of cured to daily average strength was less than that of
1887 in both the asylums, at Nagpur it was less by one-half nearly than in 1887 ;
but when compared with the mean of previous years it was nearly equal.
The percentage of cured to admissions was also considerably less in both
the asylums. The figures were at Nagpur and Jubbulpore 20.19 and 29.33 respec-
tively less than in 1887.
6. The percentages of deaths to daily average strength and to admissions
were less in both the asylums than that of 1886 and 1887.

STATEMENT II.
8. The admissions of criminal lunatics at both asylums were largely in
excess of those in 1887. At the Nagpur asylum the number was the highest of
any in the past 10 years except 1884. At Jubbulpore more than double the num-
ber admitted in 1887. There were 2re-admissions of criminal lunatics at the Nagpur
asylum. The daily average strength of the criminal class at both the asylums
was higher than that of 1887. At Nagpur the difference was trivial and at Jubbul-
pore the difference was 4.01
STATEMENT III, IV AND V.
9. These Statements call for no comment.
STATEMENT VI.
10. As in previous years the large majority of the lunatics admitted at
Nagpur were suffering from mania or dementia and at Jubbulpore from acute
mania.
STATEMENT VII.
11. The Government of India in No.9/700-10 of 31st October 1888, ordered
the preparation of columns in Statement No. VII showing alleged causes of
insanity produced by abuse of intoxicants. This will be attended to in future
reports.
STATEMENT VIII.
2. The average daily sick at Nagpur was 8.50 or 3.29 loss than in 1887.
At Jubbulpore it was in excess of the rate of any of the previous six years ; the
percentage of sick to daily strength for the two asylums is : —

The year 1888 having been on the whole an exceptionally healthy one, it is
difficult to say how far the altered diet scale has affected the health of the
lunatics.
The order conveyed in Chief Commissioner's letter No. 363—13 of 18th
January 1889, with reference to the closing of the grated openings, had already
been carried out in both lunatic asylums.
The ratios of deaths to daily average strength and admissions for both
asylums were very much lower than those of 1886 and 1887 :—

13. A comparison of the expenditure under its different heads shows that
at Nagpur each patient cost Re. 0-4-5 more than in 1887, the increase having
taken place under the following heads :—

but under the heads Diet and Clothing there was a large decrease when compared
with 1887, the decrease being Re. 1-0-7 and Rs. 2-15-7 respectively.
The decrease in the cost of diet at Nagpur Asylum is very satisfactory:
the scales of diet at Nagpur and Jubbulpore are now alike.
The decrease in the cost of clothing at Nagpur is also very satisfactory.
At Jubbulpore each patient cost Re. 1-11-5 more than in 1887, the increase
being under all heads except Superintendent and Repairs.
The largest increase under head diet, i. e., Re, 1-4-4 is attributable to
dearness of grain.
The following Statement shows the cost per head under different heads at
the two asylums in 1837 and 1888 :—
