It is satisfactory to observe that, notwithstanding the high prices of food-
grains which prevailed towards the latter part of the year, the mean cost per
head under "Diet" at Nagpur was Rs.5-1-4 less than in the preceding year,
while at Jubbulpore it was in excess by Re.0-2-10 only. The abnormal increase
under " Contingencies " at Nagpur is due, as already stated, to the large amount
spent on the purchase of fodder for the Dairy Farm cattle.
39. The mean cost per head of the inmates of the Asylums in the Central
Provinces is compared with the mean cost in other Provinces in the following

41. Nagpur Dairy Farm.—The receipts from the dairy amounted to
Rs.3,387-11-8, against Rs.4,095-12-0 in the previous year ; while the expenditure
amounted to Rs.4,164-7-2, as compared with Rs.2,032-12-1 in 1898. There was
thus a loss, during the year under report, of Rs.776-11-6, against a profit of
Rs.2,062-15-11 in the preceding year. As a set-off against the above loss, credit
should, however, be taken for a sum of Rs.800-9-10, which represents the
value of milk supplied by the dairy to the inmates of the Asylum, as also for a
sum of Rs.91-2-8, the value of the cow-dung used as fuel and as manure in the
Asylum garden. The cattle on the Farm number 131.
42. Inspections.—The Nagpur Asylum was inspected by the Chief Commis-
sioner on the 27th December, and by me on the 3rd June. It was also frequently
visited by me on other occasions. The Jubbulpore Asylum was inspected by me
in September. The Official Visitors met regularly every month and inspected
the respective institutions and their proceedings were duly recorded and copies
thereof transmitted for the information of the Chief Commissioner.
43. The Jubbulpore and Nagpur Asylums have been managed to my entire
satisfaction by their respective Superintendents, Lieutenant-Colonel H. K.
McKay, I.M.S., C.I.E. (and in his absence Lieutenant-Colonel W. A. Quayle, I.M.S.)
and Major Silcock, I.M.S.
44. The Deputy Superintendents, Rai Saheb Mohan Lal and Khan Saheb
Abdul Majid Khan, have also performed their duties with credit to themselves
and advantage to the institutions under their subordinate charge.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
A. SCOTT-REID, COLONEL, I.M.S.,
Administrative Medical Officer,
Central Provinces.

2. There were 2 re-admissions during the year from the Central Provinces,
both males.
(1) Shaikh Mowla, aged 25, betel-seller, was first admitted on 30th March
1898, suffering from melancholia with suicidal tendencies.
In February and March 1899, he began to improve and became more
cheerful.
On 29th April 1899, on the application of his friends, the Official Visitors
recommended that he should be made over to them, under the usual bond.
On 14th October 1899, he was again sent to the Asylum, as he had become
emotional, liable to excitement without any obvious cause and subject to
delusions.
(2) Vishnu Atmaram, aged 54 years, a gate-keeper on the G. I. P.
Railway, was first admitted on 23rd March 1884, suffering from acute mania in a
very violent form, which was said to have been caused by his wife's unfaith-
fulness.
After residence in the Asylum for about a month, he began to improve, and
on the 9th June 1884, he was discharged " cured."
Shortly after his release, he was appointed a gate-keeper over a godown of the
G. I. P. Railway and occupied this post till January 1899, when he was fined
Rs.40 for losing some Railway property.
The trouble caused by losing this property preyed upon his mind and he
again became insane and was sent back to the Asylum. On re-admission, on 24th
March 1899, he was very noisy and troublesome to the other lunatics, could not
hold any rational conversation and kept wandering about the Asylum in a mean-
ingless sort of way.
In May, he began to improve, and on the 26th June 1899, on the application
of his friends, the Official Visitors recommended that he should be made over to
them, under the usual bond.
3. During the year there were 18 discharges from among the Asylum
inmates, viz:—

Of these 18 discharges, 16 were among lunatics from the Central Provinces
and 2 among lunatics from Berar.
( 14 )
4. Seven of the lunatics "discharged cured" were non-criminal lunatics
suffering from acute mania on admission, and the period of their residence in the
Asylum varied from 4 months and 12 days, to 1 year 5 months and 18 days.
5. Two of the lunatics " discharged cured " had been confined in the Asylum
under section 471, C. P. C.
Both had been charged under section 436, I. P. C. and acquitted on the
ground of insanity.
The history of one of these lunatics, Ambi, aged 18 years, wife of Sharawan,
is worth recording. This woman was caught in the act of setting fire to the house
of a neighbour, charged under section 436, I. P. C., and acquitted on the
ground of insanity. Major Buchanan, I.M.S., of the Central Jail, Nagpur,
under whose observation she had been for some time, reports: " She makes
" contradictory statements regarding her age and regarding the time she lived
" with her husband; otherwise, I have observed no signs of insanity. The Assistant
" Jailer states that she daily makes contradictory statements about her age, also
" as to whether she burned the house. She cries without apparent reason.
" Her mother and father state that she has been silly for some months."
During the time she was in the Asylum, 9 months and 22 days, she was
perfectly sane, stated that the house caught fire by accident and that she feigned
insanity whilst under observation and during her trial and was tutored by the
Police to say that she had set fire to the house. She was discharged by order
of the Chief Commissioner, on the recommendation of the Official Visitors, on
3rd March 1899.
6. Two of the lunatics " discharged cured" were discharged by order of
the Official Visitors and sent to stand their trial.
Their histories are as follows :—
(1) Khaswa Gond, 32 years, cultivator, admitted into the Asylum on 8th
August 1898, under section 466, C. P. C., crime section 304, I. P. C., tied a rope
round a man's neck, dragged him into a room and inflicted such injuries on
him that he died.
When arrested by the Police, he was wildly excited, violent, sleepless, de-
structive, filthy in his habits and would wear no clothing. Shortly after admis-
sion, he began to improve, and towards the end of November 1898, he was per-
fectly sane and continued so till 28th July 1899, when he was discharged to
stand his trial.
On recovering his senses, he had no knowledge of having committed any
crime and could not account for his temporary insanity.
He denied having ever taken any intoxicating drug or liquor.
(2) Bhagwan Kulla, aged 26, cultivator, sent to the Asylum on 7th February
1897, under section 466, C. P. C., crime section 379,I. P. C.
Before admission, was very noisy, filthy in his habits and sleepless.
On arrival at the Asylum, was found to be perfectly sane and continued
so until 19th July 1899, when he was discharged to stand his trial.
He attributed his insanity to an attack of fever.
7. The five lunatics " discharged improved " were made over to their friends.
Three of them were suffering from mania and two from melancholia.
8. The two lunatics discharged " not improved " were suffering from mania
and were also made over to their friends.

STATEMENT II.
10. Eight criminal lunatics, all males, were admitted during the year.
Of these, 7 were from the Central Provinces and 1 from Berar.
The history of these eight criminal lunatics is as follows :—
(1) Syed Ahmed, aged 26 years, tobacco-seller, charged under section 377,
I. P. C., but found to be of unsound mind and incapable of making his defence
and sent to the Asylum under section 466, C. P. C. On admission, on 4th March
1899, he refused to wear any clothing, seldom spoke, ate his own filth and smeared
his body with it.
In June 1899, his mental condition began to improve slowly.
Is now sane and fit to stand his trial.
Denies all knowledge of the crime for which he is charged. Says he was
in the habit of smoking ganja and that his maternal uncle was insane.
(2) Jhaloo Kurku, aged 40 years, cattle-grazer, charged under section 302,
I. P. C., but acquitted on the ground of insanity and sent to the Asylum on 16th
March 1899, under section 471, C. P. C.
Was subject to epileptic fits and considered half mad since early boyhood.
On the night of the 13th November 1898, he had an epileptic fit and re-
mained without food till the early morning of the 15th idem.
A little later in the day, he had an altercation with a lad named Ghochan,
which led a neighbour named Madhu to warn Ghochan that the accused was half
mad ("bahia ") and might do him mischief. The use of the term half mad ("bahia ")
seems to have thrown the accused into a sudden frenzy. He seized a hatchet
and rushed at Madhu. The latter escaped, as did also his friend Ambu Kurku,
who at first strove to wrest the hatchet from Jhaloo. Jhaloo pursued the two
men, and when he failed to overtake them, dashed into the house of one Sheikji.
Sheikji's wife, Musammat Chhan, managed to dodge the assailant who, on issuing
into the street, came upon Sheikji himself and at once cut him down with the
axe, inflicting four more wounds on the body as it lay at his feet.
Again pursuing Musammat Chhan, who had come out to help her husband,
Jhaloo overtook a girl named Musammat Puni and killed her with five
strokes of his axe. Next, darting into the house of Musammat Junai, he
slew the occupant (who was pounding rice there) with the same weapon,
inflicting four wounds.
By this time, the village was cleared of its inhabitants, who all fled into the
jungle. When the Police reached the scene, Jhaloo was seated in front of his
house with his axe in his hand. Ho refused to surrender and threatened the
Police, but was at last overpowered.
Since admission to the Asylum, he has had four or five epileptic fits every
month, after each one of which he remains very depressed and melancholy for
a day or two.
( 17 )

criminal lunatics in the Asylum at the close of the year:—
(a) Tried and acquitted on the ground of insanity ...

admitted during the year.
The beggar class furnished 8 admissions and the cultivator and labouring
classes, 5 each.
In the case of 7 admissions, the previous occupation was unknown and could
not be ascertained.
STATEMENT V.
17. Of the total admissions, over 80 per cent. were aged between 20 and 40
years.
Of the 4 males admitted under 20 years of age, 3 were homeless, wandering
children, aged 14,10 and 8 years, respectively, suffering from epileptic mania.

STATEMENT VII.
19. This statement deals with the alleged causes of insanity.
Of the lunatics admitted during the year, 7 were homeless and friendless
wanderers, about whose habits and previous history nothing could be ascertained,
and the information furnished with regard to the causation of insanity in many
of the others was generally of little or no value.
In many cases, the symptoms of the mental disease were given as the cause
of it, and in others it was attributed to any accidental circumstances which
could possibly be brought into relation with these symptoms.
20. I have classified the admissions during the year, according to causation,
as follows:—

In one case, the insanity (acute mania) resulted from the shock or grief
caused by the death in one week of the patient's father, wife and brother from
plague.
( 19 )
STATEMENT VIII.
23. This statement shows the sickness and mortality during the year.
There were 69 admissions into hospital and 11 deaths, against 205 and 17,
respectively, in 1898.
24. The daily average number of sick was seven males and one female,
total eight, against 5.74 males and 0.99 females, total 6.73, in 1898.
The increase in the daily average number of sick, as compared with the
previous year, is due to the fact that several of the infirm and epileptic inmates
were kept in hospital during the greater part of the year, so that they might be
under more immediate observation and receive special care and treatment.
25. The chief causes of admissions to hospital were debility 18; ague 10 ;
dysentery 6 and abscess 6.
26. Local injuries, all of a trivial nature, accounted for 4 admissions. Three
of these (2 cases of scalp wounds and 1 case of wound of the finger) were caused
by the lunatics quarrelling amongst themselves, and one (a wound of the foot)
was caused by juari stubble whilst the patient was working on the farm.

28. During the year under report, only 1 case of influenza occurred, as
compared with 129 cases in the previous year, and there were only 11 admissions
from malarial fever, as compared with 28 in the previous year.
The lesser prevalence of malarial fever was due, in all probability, to the
very scanty rainfall of the year (in all 22.09 inches).
No fever prophylactics were issued.
29. The deaths occurred from the following causes:—

40. The total expenditure amounted to Rs.22,048-11-0, as compared with
Rs.21,738-1-8 in 1898.
41. The expenditure on the Dairy Farm during the year amounted to
Rs.4,164-7-2, as compared with Rs.2,032-12-1 in 1898.
The increase was due to the necessity of purchasing fodder to the value
of Rs.2,459.
In 1898, only Rs.198 was expended on fodder. Owing to the very scanty
rainfall (viz., 22.09 inches) during the year under report, almost all the crops
sown on the farm were a failure, and there was little or no grass for the cattle.
42. The actual cash sales of Dairy produce amounted to Rs.3,387-11-8, but
as the expenditure on the Dairy Farm was Rs.4,164-7-2, there was a cash loss on
the year's transactions of Rs. 776-11-6.
43. During the year, milk to the value of Rs.800-9-10 was supplied from
the Dairy Farm, to the Asylum inmates.
Credit must be taken for this as well as for the cow-dung used in the Asylum
as fuel and manure to the value of Rs.91-2-8.
