H. C. CUTCLIFFE, F.R.C.S.,
Supdt., Lunatic Asylum, Dacca.
No. 17.
FROM B. SIMPSON, M.D.,
Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum, Patna,
To THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR-GENEEAL OF HOSPITALS,
DINAPORE CIRCLE.
Patna, dated 11th February 1871.
SIR,
I HAVE the honor to forward the annual report of the Patna Lunatic Asylum for
the year ending 31st December 1870, for the information of the Inspector-General and
Government.
Population.—At the end of the year 1869 there remained in the asylum 160 persons,
against 163 in 1868.
The admissions and re-admissions in 1870 were 99 in number, including 7 criminals, of
whom 5 were males and 2 females.
The daily average number in 1869 was 161, and in the year under review 183.
The daily average number present shews an increase of 22 on the preceding year, and
judging from the statistics of former years, this number is likely to increase.
The daily average number of sick is 10.56, somewhat higher than the previous year, and
the increase is to be accounted for by the fact of a considerable number of the patients arriving
at the asylum in a weakly state.
There were only two cases of cholera during the year; both of the patients, males, were
attacked at the same hour and on the same day, the 16th of July, at the feeding shed. One
of these men died after an illness of 36 hours, the other recovered.
This happened at a time of the year when cholera was raging throughout the station,
even up to the gates of the asylum. Communication with the outside was, as far as practicable,
strictly prohibited, all the servants sleeping on the premises; in fact, it was almost unnecessary
to issue any orders on the subject, as the servants were afraid to leave the asylum unless
ordered to do so on duty. These men had no premonitory symptoms of any kind, nor was
there any form of diarrhœa prevalent at the time in the asylum.
There were three cases of death from dysentery, all occurring in patients who were
admitted in bad health; two of them being sent to hospital as soon as received into the
asylum.
Five deaths are recorded from diarrhœa, but all occurring in patients admitted in a weak
state; in no case can their deaths be attributed to local influences. The same remarks apply
to the deaths from dysentery.
Two deaths occurred from epilepsy; two from paralysis; one from hepatitis; one from
jaundice; one from phthisis; and one from tetanus—idiopathic, as far as I can gather from the
medical history of his case.
