REPORT
ON THE
LUNATIC
ASYLUMS

CENTRAL PROVINCES
FOR
THE YEAR 1890.
NAGPUR:
PRINTED AT THE SECRETARIAT PRESS.
1891.
[PRICE EIGHT ANNAS.]
NO. 3865/418
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces,
in the General Department,—dated Pachmarhi, the 29th June 1891.
READ—Letter No. 1375, dated the 9th May 1891, from the Deputy Surgeon-General, Central
Provinces, submitting, with remarks, the Annual Reports of the Nagpur and
Jubbulpore Lunatic Asylums for the year 1890.
RESOLUTION.
The statistics of admissions, discharges and deaths in the two asylums
during the year 1890 are given in the following table: —
Remained on the 1st January ...
Admitted and re-admitted ...

In both asylums the daily average strength was lower than in the pre-
ceding year, being 118.27 against 129.55 at Nagpur, and 130.79 against 138.55
at Jubbulpore.
2. In the Nagpur Asylum the admissions to hospital rose from 121 to
148, and the daily average sick from 10.12 to 13.47, owing chiefly to the pre-
valence of influenza and to an increase in the number of fever cases. In the
Jubbulpore Asylum, on the other hand, admissions to hospital fell from
98 to 62, and the daily average sick from 6.72 to 5.55. Here too influ-
enza was prevalent, and indeed more fatal than at Nagpur, but there was
a marked decline (compared with 1889) in the number of admissions for fever
and other complaints. There were no cases of cholera in either of the asylums.
The mortality in the Nagpur Asylum (8 deaths) was lower than in any year
since 1884, and deaths were less numerous in the Jubbulpore Asylum than in the
preceding year (13 against 21). Of the deaths in the latter asylum, 5 were
due to influenza in old and enfeebled patients, and 3 more were of patients
admitted in a dying condition. Allowing for the unpreventable sickness and
mortality caused by the epidemic of influenza, the returns are generally favour-
able.

3. The number discharged as cured from the Nagpur Asylum was 8
against 6 in the preceding year, the corresponding figures for the Jubbulpore
Asylum being 7 and 6.
In both asylums the percentage of cured to daily average strength was
somewhat higher than in 1889, the figures being as shown below:—

Nagpur has a considerably larger population of criminal lunatics than
Jubbulpore.
5. Of the 32 fresh admissions into the Nagpur Asylum, 21 were persons
whose age was between 20 and 40. The number of the same age admitted into
the Jubbulpore Asylum was 16 out of 23. In both cases the proportion
was about two-thirds of the total admitted. The following table shows that
mania and dementia are the most common types of insanity among the
lunatics treated during the year. In the Jubbulpore Asylum, however, there
was a comparatively large number of idiots :—

6. The financial results of the year under review are satisfactory, the
average cost per patient having fallen at Nagpur from Rs. 81-3-4 to Rs. 77-14-5,
and at Jubbulpore from Rs. 68-13-4 to Rs. 67-9-1. After deducting the amount of
receipts from paying patients and the net profits from manufactures, the total cost
of each inmate is at Nagpur about Rs. 67 per annum, and at Jubblpore nearly
Rs. 54. The decrease in the average cost is due partly to savings in cost of
diet and partly to savings under the head Establishment. At Nagpur the
Superintendent's allowance has been reduced from Rs. 250 to Rs. 150, in accord-
ance with the orders contained in Home Department Resolution No. 3-290,
dated the 28th May 1888, and at Jubbulpore there was a difference in the amount
of the Superintendent's allowance, owing to the absence of the permanent incum-
bent. The receipts from paying patients were less, but there was an increase in
the amount paid into the Treasury on account of articles sold. The cost of
establishment is a considerably larger item in the cost per patient at Nagpur
than at Jubbulpore; in the year under review it was Rs. 22-7-6 at the Nagpur
Asylum, while at Jubbulpore it was only Rs. 15-6-7 per patient.
7. At both institutions alterations and additions have been made to build-
ings. At Nagpur verandahs have been constructed, and the conversion of certain
barred windows into doors, in accordance with the recommendation of the late
Jail Commission, has been effected. At Jubbulpore the walls of the airing yard
in front of each of the separate cells were removed, and a verandah was added.
As the Superintendent points out, quarters are required for keepers on the Asylum
premises, and steps will be taken to carry out this improvement when funds are
available for the purpose.
8. Both asylums have been well managed, and the thanks of the Chief
Commissioner are due both to Dr. Franklin and to Dr. Harris for their efficient
supervision of the institutions under their charge.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the Deputy
Surgeon-General for information and guidance; also that copies, bound with
the Report, be distributed as usual.
