3. In spite of a decrease of 10 in the average population of the asylums,
93 lunatics were discharged as cured as compared with 84 in the preceding
period. The Chief Commissioner agrees with the Inspector-General of Civil
Hospitals that recovered criminal lunatics transferred to Jails should be shown
as "cured," the asylums being concerned with the medical and not the criminal
aspect of the case. A welcome improvement was shown in the general health
of the inmates, the total admissions to hospital numbering only 359 against 506
for the years 1900—02. At the end of 1904 the staple article of diet at Nagpur
was changed from millet to wheat, and the change coincided with a decrease
in the daily average number of sick from 13.10 in 1904 to 4.69 in 1905. The
mortality at both asylums remained high, 79 patients having died during the
period against 56 in the preceding triennium, but it does not appear that the
management was to blame, and it is unavoidable that the death-rate should be
higher among the unfortunate inmates of asylums than among the outside popu-
lation. The provision of suitable occupations and amusements must form an
essential feature of any successful treatment of the insane, and the Chief
Commissioner is glad to note that much sympathetic care appears to have been
shown in both asylums in this respect. He is also glad to learn that more
care has been taken in ascertaining the cause of insanity in persons sent to the
asylums, as without such knowledge it is impossible for the Superintendents and
visitors to form an accurate opinion as to the best method of treatment.
4. A much-needed increase in the pay of the warders and keepers was
granted in 1903, and an increase has also recently been sanctioned in the allow-
ances paid to the Deputy Superintendents, in consideration of the arduous nature
of their work and the uncongenial surroundings in which it has to be performed.
When the female patients of the Jubbulpore Asylum are transferred to Nagpur,
it will probably be necessary to increase still further the staff of the latter asylum.
The Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals states that the work at Nagpur is
already too heavy for the Deputy Superintendent to manage single-handed, and
that it is necessary to make separate provision for the purely medical portion of
the work. His proposals on this subject will be awaited.
5. The thanks of the Administration are due to the Inspector-General of
Civil Hospitals for his careful supervision of the work of the asylums, and to
the officers mentioned at the close of the report for the zeal and energy which
they have displayed in their management.
ORDERED,—That a copy of this Resolution be submitted to the Govern-
ment of India in the Home Department, that a copy be forwarded to the Inspec-
tor-General of Civil Hospitals, Central Provinces, for information, and that it be
published in the Supplement to the Central Provinces Gazette.

Nagpur, the 5th March 1906.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Triennial Report on the Lunatic
Asylums at Nagpur and Jubbulpore for the years 1903, 1904 and 1905, together
with the prescribed statements, which have been prepared with due regard to the
instructions contained in Government of India, Home Department, Medical,
Resolution No. 2131, dated the 12th January 1904.
Officers in charge.
2. Lieutenant-Colonel Quayle, I. M. S., held charge of the Nagpur Asylum
for 3 months and Captain W. A. Kenrick for 6 months
in 1903, while Captain G.O.F. Sealy, who was Special
Plague Medical Officer at Nagpur, was in temporary charge for about a month
in April of that year. Lieutenant-Colonel C. L. Swaine assumed charge on
1st November 1903 and continued till he proceeded on furlough on 17th Octo-
ber 1905, on which date Lieutenant-Colonel J. L. Poynder relieved him and
held charge till the close of the year. At Jubbulpore, Lieutenant-Colonel (now
Colonel) H. K. McKay, I. M. S., C. I. E., held charge for a month, Captain P. F.
Chapman for about 2 months and Lieutenant-Colonel Quayle for 7½ months in
1903, while Captain D. Lawson, R. A. M. C, Lieutenant T. S. B. Wil-
liams, I. M. S., and Major E. McK. Williams, R. A. M. C., held collateral charge
for short periods. Lieutenant-Colonel Quayle held charge throughout the year
1904 and for about 2 months in 1905, when he proceeded on leave, handing over
charge to Major A. G. Hendley, who retained it till the close of the year.
STATEMENT I.
Accommodation and popu-
lation.
3. The daily average strength in the Nagpur Asylum was within its
capacity, while in Jubbulpore there was slight overcrowd-
ing, amongst both males and females, during the trien-
nial period, particularly in 1903, when at one time the males were 10 and the
females 7 in excess of the available accommodation. To remedy this defect it
was proposed, in 1903, to remove all female lunatics to the Nagpur Asylum and
place them under the care of a responsible matron. With this object two wards
to accommodate 38 lunatics, a block of 6 cells and quarters for a matron were
erected in 1903-04, and additional wards were about to be erected, but, as the
question of establishing a central asylum at Chhindwara for European and Eura-
sian insanes from Upper India and native insanes from the Central Provinces and
Berar, was raised in 1904 by the Government of Bengal, the further improve-
ments in contemplation were suspended pending the decision of the Government
of India.
A new hospital and two solitary cells for females were erected at Jubbul-
pore
6
Commissioner, twice by the Director-General, Indian Medical Service, and four
times by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals. The official visitors of both
the institutions met regularly every month, and to them as well as to the
Superintendents and Deputy Superintendents, the successful management of the
asylums is mainly due.
Notice of Officers.
25. The Superintendents and the Deputy Superintendents have worked
with zeal and energy. Rai Sahib Mohan Lal, Deputy
Superintendent, Jubbulpore, has continued to render
valuable services, and Kashinath Gopal at Nagpur has proved an excellent
Deputy Superintendent in every way. Besides being well qualified professionally,
he is tactful and sympathetic with the inmates, whose confidence he apparently
enjoys.
26. The work in the Nagpur Asylum is now too heavy for the Deputy Superin-
tendent to manage single-handed. I agree with Lieutenant-Colonel Poynder that
an assistant should be given him to undertake the medical portion of the work,
and in anticipation of sanction, I have posted a reserve Hospital Assistant to
the asylum, The question of establishing a Central Asylum at Chhindwara is still
pending. It is desirable that a decision should be come to at an early date,
as needful alterations and additions to both the existing asylums are in the
meantime held up.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
P. A. WEIR, M. B., COL., I. M. S.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals,
Central Provinces.
