of a large dairy should be divorced, as he cannot do full justice to both. On
the 8th December, the Asylum Dairy was minutely inspected by the Director-
General of the Indian Medical Service, Doctor James Cleghorn, and a minute
recorded that "the small sickness and mortality during the year up to date
may in part be ascribed to the large supply of skimmed milk which is supplied
daily from the dairy. The good effects of skimmed milk on the health of luna-
tics has also been observed in the Asylum at Bareilly, North-Western Provinces.''
The net profit during the year amounted to Rs.4,650-3-3 as compared with
Rs.1,358-10-1 in 1895, Rs.749-9-2 in 1894, and Rs.531-8-2 in 1893.
The value of clothing made in the Aslyum was Rs.79-14. This is consider-
ably less than last year, and is due to the fact that the Asylum cotton crop
failed during the year. The value of goods in stock unsold at the close of the
year (chiefly cotton money bags, tat-patti, &c.) was Rs.27-8-0. In last year's report
it was noted that we were going to try and start the pressing of cotton seed oil
in the Asylum. I regret to report that the experiment proved a failure. During
the year 10 maunds and 9 seers of linseed oil was pressed in the Asylum and
utilized for cooking, &c. The establishment of a second oil pressing machine is con-
templated at an early date. When this is done we shall not require to purchase
any linseed oil for the Asylum or oil-cake for the Farm.

The total average cost per head in 1896 was Rs.63-1-8 against Rs.61-1 in
1895, the increase is due to contingent charges, viz., Rs.2,371-15-0 (against
Rs. 1,118-3-4 in 1895) on account of the Dairy Farm charges.
The charge per head for medicines is slightly higher than in the pre-
vious year and is due to the fact that some very necessary instruments were
supplied during the year such as a post-mortem case, hydrocele apparatus and
a hypodermic syringe.
Statement X requires no comment.
Additions and improve-
ments.
A cattle-shed was erected by the Public Works Department at the south
east corner of the Asylum Ward. This was much need-
ed. Two of the old godowns attached to the east bunga-
low were also altered and converted into dairy buildings during the year. An
additional pump was placed in the well behind the old Judicial Commissioner's
Kutcherry (now used as one of the Asylum Wards) and the water conveyed to
the large reservoir. The additional supply of water thus obtained will much
increase the area of land which can be irrigated and add to the vegetable supply.
A water pipe with a large iron trough has also been supplied for the use of the
cattle. The bolts of the doors of the 8 cells in which noisy and refractory male
lunatics are kept have been altered and made more secure, the plan used in the
Central Jail having been adopted. The padlocks now cannot be reached by those
in the cells. More cell accommodation is needed, but for the present financial
considerations stand in the way of their being provided. The usual annual repairs,
white-washing, &c., have been carried out. A new vegetable garden has been
made outside the railed enclosure, where the soil is good and a well with an abun-
dant supply of water close by.
Surgeon-Major G. F. A. Harris held charge throughout the year.
First Class Civil Hospital Assistant Abdul Majid Khan has held the office
of Deputy Superintendent throughout the year. I have elsewhere adverted to
his excellent work in connection with the Dairy, and I have only to add that he
has also performed his Asylum duties to my complete satisfaction. I must again
urge the necessity of his having a young and capable Hospital Assistant as an
assistant in the Asylum work. Clinical demonstrations on the Asylum cases and
elementary instruction in lunacy was also given as in former years to all young
Hospital Assistants attached for duty to Nagpur. The usual monthly meetings of
visitors were held and the half-yearly meetings on the 20th January and 17th
July, 1896. The Asylum buildings, &c., were inspected by the Chief Commis-
sioner, Mr. Lyall, on the 9th September, and by Surgeon-Major-General J. Cleghorn,
M. D., the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service, on the 8th December.
It was also frequently visited by the Administrative Medical Officer, Central
Provinces.

( 17 )
Report on the Jubbulpore Lunatic Asylum for the year 1896.
THERE were no additions or alterations made in the Asylum buildings dur-
ing the year, except the annual repairs carried out by the Public Works Depart-
ment.
STATEMENT I
Shews the admissions and results of the past 11 years.
Remaining at the beginning of the year 148 (males 113, females 35) ; admitted
during the year 28 (males 24, females 4) and 1 male re-admitted, total 177 (males
138, females 39) ; discharged cured 19 (males 16, females 3) ; improved 1 female, a
non-criminal lunatic; 1 discharged otherwise, escaped. Died 11 (males 7, females 4) ;
remaining at the end of the year 145 (males 114, females 31) against 148 at
the end of 1895.
The largest number confined on any one night, was 161 (males 125, females
36). As the capacity of the Asylum is for 163 at 54 superficial feet per inmate
there was no overcrowding.
The daily average strength was 154.10 against 147.08 of the preceding year
and the daily average sick 4.15 against 4.46.
Percentage to daily average strength cured 12.33 against 8.84; died 7.13
against 7.48. Percentage to admission cured 65.52 against 52.00 ; died 37.93
against 44.00.

females 3), Daily average strength 34.28 (males 31.23, females 3.05); against
30.85 (males 27.85, females 500) in 1895.
The re-admission shewn above was a criminal lunatic who was admitted on
the 13th June, 1890, and escaped on the 9th October, 1894, whilst working in the
Asylum garden. He was pronounced quite harmless and was more of an idiot
( 20 )
Another time he made a large hole in the wall.
The last time he managed to cut through a bar. On this night he was hand-
cuffed to the door of his cell. In the morning the handcuffs were lying open
and the bar of the window opposite cut through. Nothing has been heard since
of him.
I would mention here that with reference to the review of the Chief Commis-
sioner on last year's Lunatic Asylum Reports regarding the order contained in
para. 4, a full report, together with the remarks of the visitors regarding each cri-
minal lunatic was submitted to the Administrative Medical Officer on the 26th
October, for the information of the Local Administration.
STATEMENT III
Shews religion, sex, and district of all lunatics admitted during the year.
Of the 29 admissions and re-admissions, 22 are Hindus, 5 Musalmans and 2
other castes. Of the whole, 14 came from Jubbulpore District, 6 Saugor, 4 Mandla,
2 Narsinghpur, 1 Hoshangabad and 2 from Native States and Central India.

The majority apparently became insane between 20 and 40 ; there is, I think,
no doubt that if there is a tendency to insanity any exclusive excitement will bring
it out, viz., drink, drugs, love, fear, greed or religion.
STATEMENT VI & VII.
These statements have been revised. Columns for types and causes have been
changed by Government of India, Home Department, 16 Medical No. 576/86 of
16th July, 1896.

Chatroo, discharged cured, states that he was accustomed to smoke 2 tolas of
ganja every ten days; also drinks.
Mathura Pershad, the brother, says that he often over-indulged in ganja, the
shape of head would lead one to think that the insanity was hereditary.
Khuda Bux, the report states that he is given to the over-indulgence of
ganja, and from the type of insanity I should say it is a fact.
Buxa, the wife, states that just before he became insane there was a marriage
festival and he drank a large quantity of bhang and smoked ganja for three days
and suddenly left the village.
Gulab Singh, a Malguzar, sent to the Asylum suffering from acute mania.
His exciting cause was ganja-smoking, aggravated by anger. A Tahsil chuprassi
went to his village to realize a debt of Rs.16 and took possession of a horse instead
of a pony which the man was willing to give up. He was eventually prosecuted,
and then in Court became very excited and incoherent. He is a confirmed ganja-
smoker.
Bedyadhur, 23, sent to the Asylum under observation at the report of his
father. His father states that he indulged occasionally in ganja and became un-
manageable.
Drink—1.
Babu Khan, 23, placed in the Asylum by his father, who states that he is
accustomed to occasional bursts of drunkenness and became incoherent, sleepless
and a nuisance to his neighbours.
Starvation—10.
The four criminal lunatics have been described.
1. Unknown, Sookhanya, was found wandering about the serai in an
emaciated condition, violent, noisy and sleepless.
2. Jaganath, very emaciated on admission. His mother states that she
can only account for his insanity by the suffering they have undergone the last
two years. They are professional beggars and the trade has been bad.
3. Chamara came to the Ayslum in a greatly emaciated state. Could
not stand; had dysentery; unable to talk; filthy in habits. Is the owner of 8
acres of land sown with dhan, and has a large family.
4. Kandhya, a cooly on the relief works, very emaciated, was found running
about, crying and disturbing everyone.
( 22 )
5. Mussammat Jasoda: her husband died and she had no means of liveli-
hood. Want of food, I think, exciting cause.
6. Mussammat Sohodra : very emaciated on admission, suffering from
diarrhœa.

I certainly should like to have a little more previous history of admission.
The Chief Commissioner's Book Circular XXXIV, of 18th August, does not seem
to help me much. I admit that in some cases it is impossible to get a previous
history, but when a man's village is known and also relatives, I do not see the
difficulty.

Old Age.
Mussammat Parbati, admitted into the Asylum on 1st November, 1869,
for melancholia, aged 60 ; she had been in the Asylum 27 1/4 years.
Dhiraj, 65, admitted into the Asylum on 2nd December, 1891, for dementia;
he was certainly over 70.
General Debility.
Mussammat Umaria, 50, had been in the Asylum four years for dementia ;
had always to be fed.
Lochan, 55, had only been in the Asylum three months. An extreme case of
melancholia; would not eat; had to be fed; continually trying to escape. The
predisposing cause of insanity was grief from the loss of his son and brother.
Kunjali, 57, had deen 16 years in the Asylum, admitted for chronic dementia;
hopeless.
Dullu, 34, had been in the Asylum four years, admitted for dementia. This
man had been in the habit of eating dead bodies. When admitted, he was very
emaciated and was fed with difficulty up to the day of his death. The other
deaths call for no special remarks.

No local or general injury during the year.
The daily average sick 4.15 against 4.46, and the percentage of daily average
strength 2.6 against 3.0 in 1895.
STATEMENT IX.
Finance.—Total receipts from the Treasury Rs.8,663-0-9, against Rs.8,008-2-5
for 1895, shewing an increase of Rs.654-14-0; this increase is due to the in-
creased daily average and dearness of provisions.
Column 3 represents receipt of paying patients, Rs.2,368-4-0. The Auditor's
notes objecting to the different rates for the maintenance of paying patients in
both asylums was decided during the year by the Local Government, and the
rate Rs.7 was fixed. I would beg to call attention to the Commissioner, Nagpur
Division, letter No. 7461, dated 22nd September, 1896, to the Secretary to the
Chief Commissioner, C. P., and also the Resolution IV. of the Proceedings of the
Official Visitors of the Asylum of 12th November, 1895.
I can quite understand Rs.7 being charged as an ordinary rate, but if people
can afford to partly support their relatives, I cannot see why they should not be
allowed to do so. Again, some relatives might be willing to pay a higher rate, so
that a few luxuries might be provided.
There are some patients in the Asylum at present who could pay something
towards the support, but are not doing so.
Column 4 shows Rs.1,003-12-0, the value of stores received from the Manu-
factory Department of the Asylum, minus the cost of raw materials against
Rs.1,046-7-11 in 1895.
Column 5 represents book receipts Rs.384-13-5, viz., Public Works Depart-
ment charges, medicines received from Bombay, Medical Depôt, and the adjust-
ment by the Comptroller, against Rs.212-2-6 in 1895.
The increase is due to the Asylum being colour-washed outside this year ; it
is a triennial charge.
Column 6 represents the money paid into the Treasury on account of Asylum
Manufactory Rs.394-5-0, against Rs.376-11-0 in 1895.
Columns 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 show the actual expenditure of the Asylum for
the year including the inter-departmental accounts.
Columns 16 and 17 show the amount paid into the Treasury in cash.
Column 19 shews the D. P. W. charges.
STATEMENT X
Shews the sanctioned establishment.
The daily average number of lunatics employed in the Manufactory Depart-
ment was 62.98, against 59.24 in 1895 ; this does not include those employed in
domestic work, such as cooking, tailoring, grinding and cleaning wheat and
sweeping. If these were included, the total number employed would be 120.13 :
males 93.06, females 27.07, out of the daily average strength of 154.10.
Of course, it is not absolutely necessary to employ so many on domestic
employment ; but if the inmates can be made to interest themselves on any kind
of work, there is more chance of a cure being effected. A large number are
employed in the garden, and although there is sometimes some excitement on
the part of a few, the general effect is very good.

* Excludes cost of raw materials purchased.
( 26 )
It will be seen that there is an increase of Rs.200-10-0, which is chiefly due
to the clerk receiving full pay and the compounder half pay, the other half being
paid by the Reformatory, the latter institute having previously paid the whole ;
but calculating the cost per head per annum, there is the very slight increase
of Rs.0-1-2 per head.
There was an increase of Rs.2-11-8 per head for diet, which is due to the
high prices of food-grains (wheat, gram and dall).
Table No. 13 shews clearly the sums obtained from the Treasury, Asylum
and other Departments on account of expenditure during the year 1896.

General Remarks.—Considering cholera and small-pox was very prevalent
during the year in the city and district and the mortality very great, it is satis-
factory to have to record so little sickness in the Asylum. I must attribute this
to the paternal care of the Deputy Superintendent, Rai Sahib Mohan Lal, who looks
upon the Asylum and its inmates as his own and treats them accordingly. I was
very pleased to see that some recognition of his past services has been given in
the shape of Rai Sahibship.
Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel H. K. McKay held charge during the year, and
Deputy Superintendent Rai Sahib Mohan Lal has worked throughout the year
with his usual earnestness and devotion.
The Asylum was visited by the Chief Commissioner, C. P., and Administra-
tive Medical Officer, C. P., and the Official Visitors held monthly meetings and
recorded their proceedings.
H. K. McKAY, SURGN.-LT.-COL.,
Superintendent, Jubbulpore Lunatic Asylum.
