LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN BENGAL.
19
Fatal cases.
95. Dr. Payne, who superintended the asylum throughout the year, reports that of the
three fatal cases, one was due to cholera, another to exhaustion from mania brought on by
intemperance, and the third mainly to sunstroke.
Nationality of
patients.
96. Of the sixty patients treated, thirty-one (twenty-four males and seven females)
were European, twenty-four (ten males and fourteen females) East Indian, and five males
Armenian.
Cost.
97. The total cost of the asylum was Rs. 28,517. Rs. 5,253 were recovered for the
maintenance of patients. The whole of the amount due to Government by the estate of
Mr. N. Kallonas, with the exception of Rs. 10, has now been received. Dr. Payne writes :—
" It has taken many years and much contention to accomplish this task, which seemed almost
hopeless in the outset."
Subordinates.
98. The superintendent reports that Mr. D'Vere, the deputy superintendent, continues
to give entire satisfaction. His wife has been appointed matron. Dr. Francis inspected the
asylum on the 28th of January 1875, and found it in admirable order.
Transmission of
lunatics viâ
Bombay.
99. It has become the practice now to send all military insanes direct to Bombay for
transmission to England by troop-ships. This accounts for the small number of military
admissions into Bhowanipore as compared with former years. At the suggestion of the
Government of Bombay a somewhat similar arrangement is about to be made for the
removal to England of civil lunatics (seamen excepted). They are to be sent over to
Bombay annually, and detained in the Colaba asylum until proper arrangements can be
made for the passage of lunatics belonging to both presidencies. This will be a more
economical arrangement than that now in force.
Date of submission
of reports and
returns.
100. I append a memorandum of the dates on which the several annual reports and
returns were received from asylums.
I have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
K. McLEOD, A.M., M.D.,
Secretary.
R. COCKBURN,
Deputy Surgeon-General, in charge of the Office
of the Surgeon-General, Indian Medical Department.

11. Cuttack, Moydapore, and Berhampore.—The small asylums at Cuttack
and Moydapore call for but few remarks. Both asylums were unusually
crowded during the year, but in both the death-rate was small, being 5.2 and 6.6
respectively. The Berhampore asylum was opened only towards the close of
the year. There were six deaths, an excessive number, considering the smallness
of the number of patients. It appears, however, that all the patients who died
were over 40 years of age, with one exception, and that half of them died
within a month of their arrival in the asylum.
12. The management of the Bhowanipore asylum for Europeans continues
to be satisfactory. The number of patients admitted and re-admitted during
the year was 36, and, including those who remained from the previous year,
the total number treated was 60. Of these, three were discharged cured, 13
were transferred to their friends improved, and 18 were sent to England. The
number of deaths was three only. The total cost of the asylum was
Rs. 28,517, but of this sum Rs. 5,253 was recovered for the maintenance of the
patients.
13. In conclusion, the Lieutenant-Governor has much pleasure in
acknowledging the efficient services of the several Superintendents who have
managed the asylums committed to their care, and he has also to thank the
Officiating Surgeon-General for the careful report submitted by him.
ORDERED that a copy of this Resolution, together with a copy of the report,
be forwarded to the Secretary to the Government of India in the Home Depart-
ment for information.
Ordered that an extract, paragraph 2, of the above Resolution be forwarded
to the Secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Assam, in continuation of
previous correspondence on the subject, with the intimation that the
Lieutenant-Governor hopes that the Chief Commissioner will be able to make
early arrangements for the reception into the Tezpore asylum of the lunatics
belonging to the Assam Province, now detained in the Dacca asylum.
Ordered that a copy of the above Resolution be forwarded to the Surgeon-
General, Indian Medical Department, for information and guidance.

Calcutta:

No. 369½.
FROM THE SURGEON-GENERAL,

To THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BENGAL,

Dated Fort William, the 13th June 1876.
SIR.
1. Dullunda.
2. Bhowanipore.
3. Dacca.
4. Patna.
5. Cuttack.
6. Moydapore.
7. Berhampore.
I HAVE the honor to submit my annual report on the working of the Lunatic
Asylums (marginally noted) situated in the province of
Bengal for the information of His Honor the Lieutenant-
Governor.
2. In order to explain more clearly the text of this
report, I have retained most of the statistical forms which have been in use in former
years; but in the appendix will be found all the asylum statistics entered in the forms
approved of by the Government of India, as directed in Home Department resolution
No. 419F, of 31st August 1874.
3. Similarly as in last year's report, I now submit the annual reports received from
the Superintendents in a summarized form, and on them I shall offer such observations as,
I trust, will assist in clearly explaining the working of the asylums during 1875.
4. In statement No. 1 the principal statistical events of the six asylums (Bhowanipore
Asylum for Europeans not included) are shown individually and collectively, and in the
appendix, in table No. I of the new asylum forms, this collective information is again given,
and can be compared with the statistics of the preceding decennial period.
5. Before making any remarks on the statistics contained in statement No. 1, I must
observe that owing to the transfer of patients from the Dacca and Patna Asylums to the asylum
at Berhampore, the totals of columns 6 and 7E (the former representing the total population,
the latter the total discharged,) are not sums of the subsidiary figures. The figures denoting
the numbers transferred are properly included in the total population of individual asylums,
but if included in the general total they would vitiate the return of 1875 for the purpose of
comparison with other years.

15. The total expenditure on all asylums during the year under review
is reported to have been Rs. 1,16,019 against Rs. 1,16,474 in the previous year.
There has been an improvement, as shewn in the
margin, in the amount of receipts realized from
the friends and relatives of insanes for their main-
tenance, as well as in the profits derived from
the manufactures carried on at the asylums.
The result has been that the average nett cost of
each patient has been reduced from Rs. 99-7-8 to Rs. 86-11-7, which is
satisfactory.

16. As regards the management of individual asylums, there is nothing in
the report calling for special remark. The attention of Superintendents should
be specially called to the table given at paragraph 57 of the report, shewing the
comparative cost of each patient under the several heads of charge at each of
the asylums. Recent revelations at Dacca in some measure account for the
excessive charge under the head of " Diet." The differences in the average cost
of each patient under the several heads in the different asylums has not been
explained. The matter, however, seems to call for enquiry, and should be
investigated.
17. At the Bhowanipore Asylum for Europeans, the total number of patients
treated during the year under review was 71 against 60 in the previous year.
Of the whole number, 6 only were discharged as cured, 23 were transferred to
their friends as improved, and 12 were sent to Europe. The Lieutenant-Governor
is glad to observe the high testimony borne by the Deputy Surgeon-General to
the kind and judicious manner in which insanes in this asylum are treated.
Dr. Payne continues to merit the high reputation which he has so long borne
for the management of this and the neighbouring institution at Dullunda.
18. Reviewing the results of the year generally, the Surgeon-General
remarks that they could hardly have afforded more positive evidence of the
favourable conditions in which the insanes under treatment have been placed,
whether for the cure of their mental derangement by skilled attention to
every detail, or in lessening the hardships of their sad lot by gentleness and
kindness. The Lieutenant-Governor believes that Dr. Beatson's inference is
perfectly warranted, and he fully appreciates the labours of the Superintendents
who have had charge of the asylums during the year under report.

the Report, be forwarded to the Secretary to the Government of India in the
