NOTE.—Observation cases are excluded from this statement.
(a) Under item 13, remaining on 31st December 1933, 1 male was shown. Please read this figure as "Nil " as the one male patient
who was returned as "Not yet diagnosed" has been since diagnosed and returned under item 2, " Manic depressive insanity "
and the number there has been increased by one male, remaining on 31st December 1933.
(b) Six males and one female patients who were recovered but being criminal insanes have not yet been discharged as their cases are
governed by principles laid down in Part V-I, Appendix II, of Book Circulars, and section 30 (1) of Prisons Act, III of 1900.
These have been included under item 12. "No appreciable disease " remaining on 31st December 1934, and deducted from
their respective disease items, viz., item 2 " Manic depressive insanity " 1 female ; item 3 " Mania " 2 males ; item 4 " Melancholia "
2 males ; item 8 Epilepsy, etc., 1 male ; item 9 (a) "Acute confusional insanity" 1 male.
One recovered criminal male patient had a relapse during the year 1934. He has been reverted to disease item 2 "Manic depressive
insanity" remaining on 31st December 1934 and deducted from item 12 "No appreciable disease". This explains the apparent
discrepancy under disease items 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 (a) and item 12 remaining on 31st December 1934.

ANNUAL REPORT ON THE MENTAL HOSPITAL
AT NAGPUR IN THE CENTRAL PROVINCES
AND BERAR FOR THE YEAR 1935
Administration.
Dr. J. Roy, M.B., D.P.M. (Eng.), was in charge
throughout the year, except for the
period of his leave from the 22nd
May to the 21st June 1935, when Mr. A. K. Sen Gupta,
Assistant Surgeon, held charge.
STATEMENT No. I
Population
2. The number of resident patients, at the beginning
of the year, was 361 males and 99
females or a total of 460. New
admissions during the year were
118 (95) and the total population was 578 (560). The daily
average strength of the total population, excluding observa-
tion cases, was 373.50 males and 103.04 females, total 476.54
(469.42). Including observation cases, the daily average
strength was 378.40 males and 103.69 females, total 482.09
(474.52). The ratio per cent of cases "cured" to daily
average strength was 9.37 males, 14.56 females, total 10.49
(11.29). The ratio per cent of cases "cured" to new admis-
sions was 16.13 males, 36.00 females, total 20.34 (22.11).
Accommodation.
3. The maximum number of resident patients on any
one night was 387 males and 105
females (380 males and 99 females).
Thus, there was overcrowding by 43 patients on the male side
though admissions were strictly restricted to dangerous
and long-standing cases only. The extension of the hospital
is urgently needed to house the increasing population. But
in view of the present state of provincial finances it would be
desirable to restrict the admissions to the dangerous cases
only as a temporary measure till the return of better times.
The slight fall in the percentage of "cured" cases is
probably due to the fact of restricting admissions only to
dangerous and long-standing, that is, more or less chronic
cases, for want of sufficient accommodation.
Discharges.
4. The number of patients discharged during the year
was 69 (69); 50 were discharged as
cured, 10 as improved and 9,
otherwise. Improved and other cases were taken over
by their relatives before they could have the full benefit
of treatment.
2
Sickness and mortality.
5. The mortality during the year was 30 (31), giving
a percentage of 6.30 (6.60). The
causes of deaths were pneumonia 1,
influenza 1, asthma spasmodic 1, acute œdema of lungs 1,
pyæmia 1, septicæmia 1, epethelioma 1, lymphadenoma 1,
acute enteritis 1, paratyphoid 1, peritonitis 1, colitis 3,
acute mania 1, epilepsy 3, mitral regurgitation 1, heart
failure 4, general debility 1, secondary anæmia 4, concussion
of the brain 1, thrombosis of the brain vessel 1.
The following table shows the period of their stay
in hospital :—

As regards the 6 deaths under one year's stay, 3 were
received in a bad state and 1 in indifferent health. Another
contributory factor to the increase in mortality was that
aged patients whose ages ranged between 60 and 70 died
during the year.
The general physical health of the patients was good
during the year. The daily average sick was 20.30 (16.83).
Prophylactic measures against cholera and smallpox were
taken as usual. Fifty resident patients were treated for
ankylostome and 11.80 per cent were found infected amongst
new admissions.
The death rate per cent for 1935 in mental hospitals
in other provinces in India was as shown below :—
13.50 in Assam, 7.9 in Burma, 7.7 in the Bombay
Presidency, 7.27 in the United Provinces, 7.15 in Madras,
4.23 in the Ranchi European Mental hospital, 3.96 in the
Punjab and 3.49 in the Ranchi Indian Mental hospital.
