has not referred to the subject, but it may be mentioned that quinine is adminis-
tered according to modern scientific requirements throughout the months during
which malaria prevails, and there can be no doubt that great benefit has been
conferred by the measure.
Suicides.
12. As pointed out by Major Ewens, it is extremely difficult to prevent
suicides. But in this respect there was
nothing to attract attention until last
year. The only way to avoid such fatalities in future is to pick out, so far
as may be possible, those shewing a suicidal tendency and thereafter keep them
under constant observation. It ought to be mentioned that an inquest was held
in each case, and a copy of the Magistrate's finding was duly submitted to
Government,
13. In paragraph 4 of the Punjab Government review of the report of
the lunatic asylum for 1907, the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals was direct-
ed to compare the expenditure at the local institution with that in other lunatic
asylums in India. This has been done, but Major Ewens has omitted to refer to
the matter in his report. The comparison is, however, vitiated by the inclusion
of expenditure under all heads, including that on buildings, which varies widely
in different places, and from year to year. It is found that the average cost at
Lahore is lower than it is at Madras, Naupada, Colaba, Bhawanipur, Berhampur,
Rangoon and Ratnagiri ; but the local asylum compares unfavourably in this
respect with some others in different parts of India. Major Ewens has been
asked to go into the matter thoroughly, taking the figures for last year and
making a comparison of the cost in the different asylums under the heads of
expenditure of Statement No. VIII. His report will be submitted in due course
to Government.
14. The officers, who held charge of the asylum during the triennium,
performed their duties efficiently. Each and all of them exhibited great interest
in the institution and contributed to its improvement, Major Ewens being entitled
to special commendation for the satisfactory manner in which it has been main-
tained.

22. Military Assistant Surgeon J. Fleming was Deputy Superintendent
until 8th June 1907 when after 6½ years tenure of the post, the duties of which
he fulfilled with great zeal and devotion added to a most sympathetic interest in
the patients, he was succeeded by Military Assistant Surgeon H. W. V. Cox, in
whom the Superintendent is so fortunate as to have the most painstaking, able,
conscientious and trustworthy assistant that could be desired, and one whose skill
as a microscopist and bacteriologist is of the highest value.
23. Since 22nd September 1908 another Military Assistant Surgeon
has been allowed as Assistant Deputy Superintendent, to have immediate charge
of the hospital, the work of which had become too heavy to be combined with the
other duties of the Deputy Superintendent. This appointment a long and acutely
felt want has been of the greatest advantage possible in the proper working of
the asylum and in the care of the sick and Military Assistant Surgeon T. Traynor,
the present holder of the post, has proved himself most reliable, painstaking
and trustworthy. The four Franciscan sisters in charge of the female asylum as
matron and assistant matrons have always continued to work with the devotion,
kindness and self-effacement which has characterised them from the first, their
presence has utterly changed the condition of that asylum and their efforts are
much appreciated by the poor patients under their charge and of the greatest
assistance to the Superintendent.
