NOTES ON THE ANNUAL STATEMENTS REGARDING THE PUNJAB
LUNATIC ASYLUM, LAHORE, FOR THE YEAR 1904.
A triennial report having been submitted for the year 1902, the
following brief notes are made on the statistics for the year 1904:—
Statement I.—The population continues to steadily rise. It amounted to
705 last year, with a daily average of 553.61, compared with 664 and 523.55,
respectively, in 1903. Those discharged cured numbered 65 against 49 in the
previous year. The daily average sick was 35.36 and 40 deaths (the same as
in 1903) were recorded.
Statement II.—The increase in the number of criminal lunatics has not
been correspondingly great The total number confined, 132, was somewhat
less than in 1903, and the daily average strength was 110.84 compared with
107.80 in 1903.
Statements III, IV and V call for no remark.
Statements VI and VII.—Types and Causes of Insanity.—Mania, acute or
chronic, accounted for 115 admissions, Melancholia for 34, Dementia 4, and
Delusional insanity 8 ; 52 cases of Mania recovered and 11 of Melancholia.
There were 25 admissions due to charas smoking, 18 to epilepsy and 12 to the
use of opium, charas or bhang. Among the recoveries 14 were charas smokers.
In 63 cases the cause of admission was unknown.
Statement VIII—Financial.—The fall in the total expenditure from
Rs. 1,29,972 to Rs. 73,302 is due chiefly to the considerably smaller expenditure
on public works. There was a certain increase in receipts from paying patients.
A proportionate rise in charges for diet and establishment is to be expected
with the increased population.
Statement IX.—Calls for no remark.
Statement X.—Manufactures.— This shows a slightly smaller amount of
credits to Government, due to the smaller number of articles made for asylum
use, a large number remaining over and being available from the preceding
year. The amount received for articles actually sold is larger and increases
steadily.

6. As many as six escapes occurred last year, against none in 1903 and
one in 1904; but considering the large amount of liberty ordinary patients are
properly allowed, too great importance ought not to be attached to this feature
of the management. The case of criminal lunatics is different and adequate
precautions are required to insure their safe custody; in this respect there is
reason to believe that an improvement has been effected.
7. The garden is very productive and it is well-managed. I agree with
Captain Milne that the asylum authorities should take over and manage their own
dairy; and steps will be at once taken with this object.
8. The destruction of clothing and bedding referred to by the Superin-
tendent under the head of " occupation " entails a heavy loss; and I should hope
that it may be found possible to check it to some extent by means of suitable
medication in dealing with cases of acute mania.
9. The means of amusement are restricted, and I think it may be possible
to do more in this direction. At all events, it is desirable to afford the patients
every reasonable means of recreation calculated to ameliorate their condition. I
have suggested that pets might be kept with advantage, and poultry-keeping
would afford pleasant employment while yielding a considerable profit.
10. So far as I can judge from the little I have seen of them, the keepers
are not of the stamp required for the duties they have to perform ; and I believe
it will be necessary to offer better terms to induce suitable men to undertake
the service, which is, as pointed out by Captain Milne, not only irksome but
dangerous.
11. It is to be regretted that the asylum authorities are not furnished
with fuller particulars regarding patients; but it must be recognised that in
many cases it is impossible to obtain information, and that great difficulties are
encountered in this respect by the Magistracy and the Police. I am sure that
Civil Surgeons, who must be in the fullest sympathy with the efforts made to
improve the asylum, will do all they can to meet requirements.
12. Exclusive of building charges, expenditure last year was Rs. 73,026,
as compared with Rs. 69,045 in 1904 and Rs. 62,584 in 1903. The gradual rise
is mainly ascribable to growth of the daily average population, which has increas-
ed from 523.55 in 1903 and 553.61 in 1904 to 597.00 in 1905.
13. It is satisfactory to note that receipts from paying patients have
risen from Rs. 1,715 in 1903 and Rs. 2,302 in 1904 to Rs. 4,424 last year.
14. The asylum has made good progress during the past three years; and
the officers responsible for its management, namely, Major G. F, W. Ewens,
Captain C. J. Robertson Milne and Military Assistant Surgeon J. F. Fleming,
are entitled to great credit for the large measure of success that has been
achieved.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
T. E. L. BATE, COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab,
