LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.
Of the four readmissions at Dacca, three were returned to the asylum after
trial and one was sent back from the jail after two weeks. He was sane in
the asylum for over four years, and relapsed into furious mania after a fort-
night's confinement in the jail. The lunatic has again recovered.
The case at Patna was a criminal sent back to the asylum after trial.
At Cuttack one female non-criminal was discharged, although not improved,
at the request of her relatives, but sent back after three months and 23 days,
as she became unmanageable.
As regards the three readmissions at Berhampore, two were returned to the
asylum after trial. The third was also a criminal, who improved and was
made over to his friends on security, but received back into the asylum after
three years.

The increase was general. At Dullunda it is explained by the Superin-
tendent as being partly due to the fact that a larger number of cases found
sane on admission were either sent to stand their trial, or made over to their
relatives, and partly to greater efforts made to find out the friends of harm-
less lunatics and to induce them to take charge of them. The increase of
11 at Dacca was due to more recoveries, viz., 22 against 18, while 7 were
qualified for transfer to jail after recovery against nil in 1898. At Patna
9 criminals were sent to stand their trial, but not received back during the
year under review. At Cuttack there were 8 recoveries, against nil in the
previous year. At Berhampore the increase was also due to greater recover-
ies and to a larger number of improved cases having been made over to their
relatives.
6. Recoveries to strength.—The following table shows the proportion of
recoveries to daily average strength:—

The percentage of recoveries at Dacca was higher than in any year since
1894. Twelve criminals recovered and were sent to stand their trial, against 4
in 1898. At Patna the proportion of lunatics recovered was also greater than in
1898. At Cuttack there were recoveries both among toxic and non-toxic cases.
The Superintendent of the Berhampore Asylum attributes the increase to the
cases admitted having been of a mild type.
7 Accommodation.—The following table shows that the accommodation
remained unchanged, and was sufficient in all the asylums except at Dacca,
where there was some overcrowding in the female division towards the
latter part of the year. This has since been relieved by the transfer of four
females to the Dullunda Lunatic Asylum. At Cuttack there was at one time

LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.
9. Statement III— Furnishes the particulars of religion, sex, and residence
of patients admitted during the year 1899. Eleven were received from
Cachar,—all non-criminals. The figures in the statement do not present any
unusual variations calling for special comment.
10. Statement IV—Shows the occupation of the patients previous to their
admission into the asylums. The majority of the lunatics, as usual, came
from the poorer classes, but the numbers in the educated class was more
prominent than in the previous year.
11. Statement V— Gives the ages of the patients admitted during the year
1899. The age in which mental aberration was most marked was as usual
between 20 to 40.

Mania heads the list with 128 admissions, or 58.18 per cent., against 102
and 64.15, respectively, in 1898. There were 2 admissions at Dullunda for
" general paralysis of the insane"—a form of insanity which is rare in India.
There was no recovery among cases of dementia.
13. Statement VII— Alleged causes.—Of the 220 admissions, 76 are attrib-
uted to physical causes, 26 to moral causes, while the number of cases in which
the cause is unknown was 118, or 53.63 per cent., against 61.63 in 1898. The
physical causes are reproduced below :—

There was only 1 case due to the use of bhang. Six cases were attributed
to alcohol. Dhatura is alleged to be the cause of lunacy of one admission at
Patna. There were 44 cases due to ganja-smoking, against 21 in 1898.
Fifteen are returned from Dullunda. The Superintendent says all the cases
were verified by evidence given either by the patients themselves, their
relatives, or by the committing officers in addition to the statements made in
their medical history sheets.
At Dacca 12 cases were admitted in which ganja was alleged as the cause
of insanity, but the Superintendent instituted further enquiries, the result being
LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.

that in only 6 cases it was established. The Superintendent observes that in
nearly all cases of insanity there are mixed causes producing it.
Six cases are reported from Patna. The Superintendent says the medical
history sheets of the lunatics and their own admission left no room for doubt as
to ganja being the cause of insanity.
There were 8 cases at Cuttack—2 criminals and 6 non-criminals. The parti-
culars furnished in each case showed that ganja was the cause of lunacy. Four
of the 8 cases recovered during the year, the maximum and minimum period of
detention being a month and 5 days respectively. Insanity due to ganja is
generally of short duration, and there is a greater tendency to recovery in
such cases.
Nine cases are reported from Berhampore. The Superintendent made
careful enquiries in each case through the committing Magistrates before accept-
ing ganja as the cause. He remarks that recovery in such cases generally
followed on rest and abstinence from the drug. Of the 9 admissions, nearly 50
per cent. recovered.
Notwithstanding the remarks made in my report for last year and those of
Government made in paragraph 5 of its Resolution recorded thereon, there has
been no improvement in the filling up of the medical history sheets. These are
very important documents for the guidance of the Superintendents, but there
seems to be still great want of care in their preparation. One of the Superin-
tendents remarks that the medical history sheet was not furnished in 23 cases.
Another reports:—" The usefulness is marred by the careless and perfunctory
manner in which it is still prepared. At times they are sent unsigned, resulting
in much unnecessary correspondence." If the committing officers were
addressed by Government on the subject, the irregularities now complained of
would disappear.

for each asylum in the Appendix. The total number treated, and the results
are shown in the following table:—

marked diminution, the figures having been 86.21 against 104.83, and the
number constantly sick was also less, viz., 9.54 per cent., against 11.36 in 1898.
The mortality was, however, greater, the death-rate being 9.63 against 7.91
in 1898. The rate for 1899 includes the 4 deaths outside the hospital. Exclud-
ing them it was 9.19. The rate for Bengal is contrasted below with those in

LUNATIC ASYLUMS OF BENGAL.
15
At Patna a lunatic slipped and fell on a slippery floor on which I also
nearly met with the same accident during my inspection. He sustained a fracture
of the left humerus. There were also two cases of slight contused wounds and
one case each of sprain of the right elbow-joint and ankle-joint. There were
two accidental deaths. A female lunatic, who was very violent, is reported
to have fallen from the edge of the window in her cell and sustained a fracture
of the skull which caused her death. The case was reported to the Magistrate,
who held an enquiry into the matter and found none to blame for the accident.
Another lunatic suddenly died from a severe attack of epileptic fits.
At Cuttack a lunatic committed suicide by hanging himself against the
bar of a window in his cell. There were no cases of injuries.
At Berhampore there was one case of slight burn, one of sprain of ankle-joint
and five trivial injuries sustained from falls during epileptic fits.
19. Escapes.—There was one escape at Patna. The lunatic was recaptured
and made over to his friends on security. The warder through whose careless-
ness the escape occurred was fined. Another lunatic escaped from Berhampore,
but he was recaptured after eight hours. The warder was punished. There
were no escapes from the Dullunda, Dacca, and Cuttack asylums.

in the previous year. There were 4 deaths, or 2 more than in the previous year.
The death-rate per cent. on the daily average strength was 10.96, against 5.40
in 1898. Two died from tubercular phthisis, 1 from pneumonia, and 1 from
degeneration of spinal cord. The Superintendent says two of the patients who
died were over 50 years of age. One of them had been in the asylum for 16
years.

63. The diet, clothing and amusements and other matters conducing to
the comfort and well being of the lunatics received due attention of the Superin-
tendent. I inspected the asylum on the 17th April 1899, and am glad to be able
to report that most of my suggestions for improvement have been carried out.
64. The Superintendent writes in eulogistic terms of the excellent work
done by the Deputy Superintendent, Mr. T. H. Lawton; the Matron, Mrs.
Lawton, and the Civil Hospital Assistant, Babu Trailokhya Nath Banerjee. Mr,
Lawrence, the Overseer, also rendered satisfaction in the discharge of his duties.
65. The asylum was efficiently managed by Captain F. O'Kinealy, I.M.S.,
from 1st January to 27th July, and again from the 4th October to 31st
December, and by Captain E. A. R. Newman, I.M.S., from 28th July to 31st
October. Babu Nibarun Chandra Chatterjee has given valuable assistance in
preparing this report at an earlier date than usual. It is not due until April
30th.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
T. H. HENDLEY, COL., I.M.S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bengal.
