SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the report and returns of the lunatic

42. Types of insanity.—The table given below shows the types of insanity.
Most of the patients, it will be seen, suffered from mania either acute or chronic,
which is the most common form of insanity. None of them come under the
class of idiots owing to the circumstance that persons afflicted with this form
of mental disease are usually harmless and are not admitted into the asylum: —

43. Sickness and mortality.—There was not much bodily sickness of any
kind during the year, there having been only 9 admissions into hospital, against
7 in 1889. There was no epidemic visitation, and the inmates did not suffer
from influenza which was so prevalent in Calcutta at one time of the year. All
the patients gained in weight after admission. There were three deaths—one,
an old woman who had been resident in the asylum for 20 years, died of
general paralysis; and two others died from apoplexy. There were no deaths
among the male patients. There are no accidents, injuries or escapes to
record. None of the three deaths were caused or hastened by the want of
room, which was felt to a certain extent in the female division.
44. Expenditure.—The following table shows the expenditure of the
asylum :—
Average daily number of inmates through-
out the year ... ... ...
Total expenditure for the year ...
Average yearly cost of each lunatic ...
Average yearly cost of each lunatic after
deducting payments by friends of paying

seemed happy and contented, and the general cleanliness of the institution and
sanitation seemed to be all that could be desired. Mr. Lawton, the Deputy-
Superintendent, is highly spoken of by Dr. Clarke, and is praised for his tact
and discernment in the management of the inmates. Mrs. Lawton, the matron,
also performed her duties very satisfactorily. The Overseer, Mr. Chapman,
was found to be unfit to have charge of lunatics owing to want of good
temper and judgment, and was allowed to resign. His successor, Mr. Tottle,
is a steady, hard-working man, and after a little more experience will probably
be a very useful subordinate. The other members of the staff are well spoken
of by the Superintendent.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
A. HILSON, M.D.,
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Bengal.
