REMARKS.
B. SIMPSON, M. D.,
Superintendant.
No. 73.
REPORT ON THE CUTTACK LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR 1872.
By Surgeon H. CAYLEY, Officiating Superintendent.
Superintendence.
2. I only took charge of the asylum from Dr. Fleming a few days before the end
of the year, so that I am not able to speak from personal knowledge of the events of the
year; the returns, 21 in number—however, give such minute details on every point connected
with the care of the lunatics that they leave very few matters on which additional information
can be given.
Want of accom-
modation.
3. The most pressing question now requiring settlement is that of want of accommoda-
tion. The asylum has room for 31 males and 13 females. During the year there has been an
average of 39.7 males and 11.7 females ; so that the men were generally overcrowded. On
the last day of the year there were 41 males, or 10 above the proper number. This condition
is not only injurious to the health of the inmates, but it renders proper separation of the noisy
and violent from the quiet patients impossible.
Building
and
grounds too small.
The grounds are very small—too small in fact even now—so that the building could not
be enlarged on the present site. If the criminal lunatics were transferred to another
asylum, it would give temporary relief; but I think that an asylum which only holds
31 males and 13 females is not large enough for the Orissa division.
General health of
the lunatics
Dengue.
4. The general health of the lunatics has been good ; the average daily sick has been
4.84 during the year: but during the months of October and November 20 cases of
dengue fever occurred, and this disease and its after effects has greatly added to the sick
rate. The first case of dengue was on the 3rd of October, one of the warders and the
compounder having been attacked a few days previously. During October, there were 10 cases
of dengue, and in November, 10 cases—in all 20 cases out of an average strength of 51.5 or 38
per cent. The cases were not reported as severe, nor did the disease seem in any way to give
rise to increased maniacal excitement. Many of the patients suffered severely from after pains.
Death-rate.
5. The mortality during the year (Form No. 11; see general statement No. 8) has been
at a very high rate. There have been 13 deaths out of a daily average strength of 51.5
or 25.2 per cent.
Details of fatal
cases.
The first death, January 2nd, seems to have been a case of acute disease—pneumonia
and pericarditis. The man was 38 years of age, had been 7 months in the asylum, and was
always in good health. Mental disease, acute mania.
The second case was a feeble old man of 60, who died January 30th, a month after
admission into the asylum. He had slight intermittent fever, and also was troubled with
round worms. He gradually lost strength, and sank from debility. Mental disease, acute
mania.
No. 3 died, February 20th. He was an idiot, and committed suicide by hanging-. Men-
tal disease, idiotcy.
102
REPORT
ON THE
Attendants.
The lunatics are treated with kindness, and are at the same time firmly and judi-
ciously managed.
Of the 8 keepers, one is a supernumerary, sanctioned only for the present year;
but as the average number of lunatics is now over 50, and 2 of the keepers are females, it
will, I consider, be necessary that the extra warder should be kept on, as 5 keepers would
be insufficient to look after 40 male lunatics, they having to perform both day and
night duty.
The warders are all paid at the same rate of Rs. 6 each per mensem; but I am strongly
of opinion that the pay of 2, at least, should be raised—one to 8 and one to Rs. 7. It
would be a reward for the best men, and stimulate the others to increased exertion in a service
where the duties are both arduous and responsible. Some such incentive to good work is
greatly needed.
