ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
LUNATIC ASYLUMS
IN THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES
FOR THE YEAR
1898.
BY
Col. G. HUTCHESON, M.D., I.M.S.
Administrative Medical Officer, C. P.
Allahabad
PRINTED AT THE PIONEER
PRESS
1899.
No. 3132.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, Central Provinces, in
the General Department, dated Pachmarhi, the 29th April 1899.
READ—
The Annual Report and Statements of the Lunatic Asylums in the Central Provinces for
the year 1898.
RESOLUTION.
The total population of the two asylums in the year 1898 was 384, of whom
202 were detained at Nagpur, and 182 at Jubbulpore. The daily average
population was slightly lower than last year at Nagpur and slightly higher at
Jubbulpore.
2. The percentage of cured to daily average strength rose again from 7.87
to 8.56; it was very much better in Jubbulpore (13.08) than in Nagpur (4.31).
The difference in classification noticed last year has now been adjusted, criminal
lunatics who are discharged as fit to stand their trial being shown as "discharged
cured."
3. The death-rates per cent. of daily average strength also varied greatly
in the two institutions, being 10.46 in Nagpur against 4.58 in Jubbulpore. The
Nagpur rate is a higher one than has been reached for some years past. Two of
the 17 cases were admitted to the asylum in a moribund state; three others
were persons of advanced age. The comparative table given in paragraph 28 of
the Report shows that the rate for the Province is lower than that of 1897 in
any other part of India. The daily average number of sick was much the same
as in the previous year.
4. The Nagpur Asylum again returns a considerable number of admissions
(16) as " due to unknown causes, " but on the whole there is an improvement
in the matter of classifying causes of insanity. Of the 73 cases admitted during
the year, 35 are ascribed to physical, and 16 to moral, causes. Ganja smoking
was the ascertained cause in several cases, and the suspected cause in more.
5. The cost per head of inmates decreased in both asylums, owing mainly
to the cheapness of food-grains. The comparative table given in paragraph 36
shows that the mean cost in the Central Provinces compares favourably with that
in other Provinces. The dairy attached to the Nagpur Asylum continues to
show excellent financial results.
6. The management of the Jubbulpore Asylum by Lieut.-Colonel
H. K. McKay, and of the Nagpur Asylum by Lieut.-Colonel G. F. A. Harris and
Major A. Silcock, was in all respects satisfactory, and both Colonel McKay and
Major Silcock speak in high terms of the services of their Assistants Rai Sahib
Munna Lall and Khan Sahib Abdul Majid Khan.
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 gui-
dance ; also that it be published in the Supplement to the Central Provinces
Gazette.
