ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES
FOR THE YEAR
1896.
BY
Surgn.-Col. G. HUTCHESON, M.D.,
Administrative Medicial Officer, C.P.
Allahabad :
PRINTED AT THE PIONEER PRESS.
1897.
2
admissions to hospital fell from 126 to 50 and of deaths from 12 to 7, the
diminution being due to the comparative absence of influenza and fever. The health
statistics compare very favourably with those of Asylums in other parts of India,
and this is the more satisfactory that the cost, especially in the matters of diet
and clothing, is considerably smaller and has of late years been steadily reduced,
although this year high prices have caused a rise in Jubbulpore. In Nagpur the
dairy has given excellent results both financially and in regard to the health of
the inmates, and Surgeon-Major Harris is to be congratulated on its success.
The question of further payments by lunatics for their maintenance, referred to in
paragraph 31 of the Report, is under the Chief Commissioner's consideration.
5. The management of both Asylums has continued conspicuously good
throughout the year and reflects the greatest credit on both the Superintendents.
Both the Deputy Superintendents have also done good work, and the bestowal of
the title of Rai Sahib on Hospital Assistant Mohan Lal of the Jubbulpore Asylum
was a well-deserved honour which the Chief Commissioner had much pleasure in
transmitting to him.
ORDER.—Ordered, that a copy of this Resolution be submitted to the
Government of India in the Home Department, and that a copy be forwarded to
the Administrative Medical Officer. Central Provinces, for information and
guidance ; also that it be published in the Supplement to the Central Provinces
Gazette.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES
FOR THE YEAR
1896.
THIS Report and its Appendices were sent to the Press on the 10th February
1897, which is the date prescribed for their submission by the Chief Commis-
sioner, Central Provinces.
2. Officers in charge.—Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel H. K. McKay and
Surgeon-Major G. F. A. Harris held charge of the Jubbulpore and Nagpur
Lunatic Asylums respectively throughout the year.
3. Buildings, Accommodation, &c.—Nagpur. Very few alterations or addi-
tions to buildings were made during the year. The erection of a cattle-shed
and the laying on of water-pipe with trough for the use of the cattle were com-
pleted. Two old godowns also were altered and converted into Dairy build-
ings, and an additional pump placed in one of the wells.
The locking arrangements of cells, in which noisy and refractory lunatics are
confined, have been improved, and the inmates cannot now reach the padlocks
from within the cells. More cell accommodation is required, which cannot be
provided at present for financial reasons. The Superintendent has been asked
to submit proposals, which will be matured and submitted to the Chief Commis-
sioner for orders, as soon as financial pressure relaxes.
No additions and alterations were made in connection with the Jubbulpore
Asylum. The usual annual repairs were carried out.
STATEMENT I.
4. Admissions.—Nagpur Asylum. The number of lunatics, remaining
from 1895 was 176, 141 males and 35 females. The admissions during the year
were 23 males and 4 females, and 1 male and 1 female were re-admitted, giving a
total population of 205, or 2 less than in 1895, when the highest total of the past
decade was recorded. Of the 29 new admissions, 25 were from the Central Pro-
vinces and 4 from the Berars.
5. Jubbulpore Asylum. The number remaining from 1895 was 148, 113
males and 35 females. The admissions during the year were 24 males and 4
females, and 1 male was re-admitted, total 29, giving a total population of 177, or
3 more than in 1895. This number was only once exceeded in the past decade
in 1894, when the total number reached 180.
6. Discharges.—Nagpur Asylum. The number of patients discharged
during 1896 was 22, 18 males and 4 females. Of these, 6 admitted for mania
were cured, and 5 (3 cases of mania, 1 of melancholia and 1 toxic insanity)
improved. There was no improvement indicated in 2 cases of mania, and the 9
shewn as discharged, under column " Otherwise," represent criminal lunatics, who
were sent to stand their trial.
( 2 )
7. Jubbulpore Asylum. Twenty-one patients were discharged during the
year, 17 males and 4 females. Of these, 19 were cured, 1 was discharged improv-
ed and 1 male escaped and is still at large.
8. The daily average strength at Nagpur was 177.83, or an increase of 6.96,
while at Jubbulpore the average was 154.10, or an increase of 7.02 on the previous
year.
9. The percentage of cured to the daily average strength was greater in
the Jubbulpore than in Nagpur Asylum.

10. The mortality in the Nagpur Asylum was considerably below the aver-
age, and the death-rate in the Jubbulpore Asylum was about double, and is almost
invariably much higher than that in the other Asylum.

13. The percentage of cured to daily average strength closely approxi-
mates to last year's figure, and these percentages are persistently much lower than
those recorded in the Asylums of other Provinces.
14. No useful comparison can be drawn from the figures in the above table ;
for the number cured varies according to the type of insanity from which those
admitted suffer, and the chief causes of temporary insanity may not be so pro-
nounced in one Province as in another.
15. Although no very definite reason can be assigned, the low percentage
of cures in the Asylums of these Provinces is doubtless due to the causes stated,
and in some measure to a closer system of recording cures which may be more
apparent than real.
