Frequency
of
mental depression
among natives of
India.
Dr. Wise makes some interesting observations on the phases of insanity which natives exhibit,
and remarks that mental depression culminating in suicide is very common both among
Mahomedans and Hindoos. This circumstance would argue that natives are more under the
influence of emotion than Dr. Bird's remarks would indicate. The truth of the matter probably
is, that the emotional manifestations of natives of India are milder than those of Europeans
and Negroes, and that the influence of emotion is more apparent in the latter than the former.
Assigned causes
of insanity.
Fallacies in ta-
bular statements of
causes.
30. Causes of Insanity.—A cause has been assigned in 355 or 67.6 per cent. of the cases
admitted, and in 805 or 59.6 per cent. of the cases treated during the year. Of the 805 treated,
the insanity of 681 is attributed to physical and of 124 to moral causes, or 84.6 and 15.4 per
cent. This table is subject to two serious sources of error. In the first place, it is framed
for the most part on information recorded in the documents which accompany lunatics to
asylums. These are most unreliable. Drs. Wise and Coates have supplemented, or corrected,
the information thus obtained by further inquiries ; but in the case of the remaining asylums,
the causes assigned by the police have been recorded and tabulated without further inquiry. A
second cause of error consists in the difficulty of assigning the true cause of any case of lunacy,
or, in many cases, determining which of many causes—hereditary, physical, and moral—is the
principal or potent factor of the insanity. A true knowledge of causation of insanity can only
be obtained from a very careful investigation of particular cases and their antecedents, and an
extensive knowledge of the social peculiarities and practices of individuals and communities.
Observations, such as Drs. Wise and Coates have recorded, contribute more to the elucidation of
the causes of insanity than any number of" tables " which have an appearance of precision, but
are really most inaccurate and unworthy of trust. Statement No. 10 shows the usual large
proportion of cases attributed to the use of ganjah and spirits. The remarks of Drs. Coates and
Indian hemp.
Wise would go to show that Indian hemp is in many cases erroneously credited with madness
otherwise caused. It would also appear that this drug has little or no influence as an
incentive to crime; and the figures given in Statement No. 10, show that the proportion of
ganjah—caused insanity among criminal, is less than among non-criminal lunatics. No doubt,
as Dr. Wise states, thieves and murderers smoke hemp in order to nerve themselves to criminal
deeds previously resolved on, but the drug does not appear specially to arouse any homicidal or
criminal propensities. Dr. Wise's observations regarding the influence of dengue in causing
insanity are worthy of notice.

61. Moydapore.—Surgeon J. Coates, M.D., who held the medical charge of this asylum
throughout the year, has submitted
a very careful and complete report.
The principal events of the year are,
an increased population, large num-
ber of admissions, a reduced number
of recoveries, and a small death-rate.
Sub - Assistant
Surgeon of Berham-
pore appointed vi-
sitor.
62. The difficulty as regards
the legal discharge of lunatics has
been met by appointing the Sub-
Assistant Surgeon of Berhampore
as a medical visitor.
Inspection.
63. Mr. Saunders inspected
the asylum in July, and found the
sanitary state of the institution and health of the inmates satisfactory. The darogah is a
careful and deserving subordinate. The efforts made to educate the lunatics in this asylum
indicate a desire to do as much as possible for the unfortunate people confined in it.
64. Dr. Coates' remarks at paragraph 16 appear to deserve notice.
65. Bhowanipore.—Dr. Bird's report gives a very complete account of the events
of the year, whose statistics are summarized in the following statement:—

Remarks by the

66. Mr. Buckle, in forwarding Dr. Bird's report, remarks:—" This asylum is in a
thoroughly satisfactory state. Diet scales and the system of contracting for supplies on public
tender have been introduced with good effect.
The number of inmates of the asylum during 1872 has been the same as in the previous
year.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
Of the admissions, 22 belonged to the military class, which shows a diminution with
respect to previous years, and which is explained by the cause assigned by the superintendent.
The management of the institution is carefully and ably conducted. The comfort of the
inmates is sedulously attended to, and the state of the asylum and appearance of the inmates
indicate that they were receiving all the attention and indulgences that their unfortunate
condition admits of. The superintendent gives deserved praise to Mr. De Vere, and the
establishment generally have worked well.
Employment of
the inmates.
The want of employment or rather of some occupation to amuse the inmates is
apparent; at the same time considering the class and habits of the lunatics the difficulty of
providing this is fully acknowledged, and the remark is merely made with the view to
calling attention to the subject.
The management of the asylum during the past year has been very satisfactory."
In these remarks I cordially concur. The question of providing the inmates with occupation
would be an easier one, were the institution a place of permanent residence until recovery
or death, rather than a mere resting house, until arrangements can be made for sending
them elsewhere.
67. The asylum has sustained a great loss in the death of the matron, Mrs. De Vere.
Mr. De Vere continues to render excellent service.
68. The accounts of the asylum compared favorably with previous years.
69. The reports of the several institutions included in this report were received on
the dates specified in the appended memorandum.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
K. McLEOD, A.M., M.D.,
Secretary.
J. CAMPBELL BROWN,
Inspector-General of Hospitals,
Indian Medical Department.
Date of receipt of the reports and returns of asylums:—

DULLUNDA LUNATIC ASYLUM.

* Inspector-General's
Annual Report, Lunatic
Asylums, for 1871.
Only one death is due to cholera. Dysentery and bowel affections have been the chief
causes of mortality*. The statistics for the last ten years are
shown in Table No. 1. It has been remarked that " both the recovery
and death-rates of earlier and shorter periods are larger than those
of later and longer periods."
Events according
to duration of resi-
dence.
This is well shown in the present return—
Of 70 cured during
53 improved
44 died
the year,
ditto,
ditto,
52 are
46
21
during first 12 months of residence.
ditto
ditto
ditto
ditto.
And in this is probably the explanation of the difference of the rates of mortality at respec-
tive asylums, so that, unless all the circumstances are considered, and the disturbing causes
eliminated, it is difficult to make a comparison on this point between any two asylums with-
out being liable to error.
3. The superintendent has detailed the management of the institution. This is in all
respects excellent. The objection to adopting mechanical means of restraint is admitted ; this
is to cease. Measures are also being taken to secure a supply of wholesome water, which,
during the hot weather, is much wanted at the asylum.
4. The overseer, Mr. Bancroft, deserves praise for the manner in which he discharges
his duties, and the management, kindness, and watchfulness, displayed in his care of the
insane.
H. B. BUCKLE,
Deputy Inspector- General of Hospitals.
