during the year 1915 in addition to his onerous duties as Superintendent of the
Central Jail, and of Captain Fleming, who for the last two years has carried
on the work single-handed with marked ability and success. The female
portion of the asylum continues to be in the charge of the Franciscan Sisters
whose devotion and self-sacrifice are beyond praise.
ORDER.— Ordered that a copy of the report and of the foregoing remarks
be forwarded to the Government of India, Home Department, for information
also that the review be published in the Punjab Gazette.
Ordered also that a copy of the foregoing remarks be forwarded to the
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, for information.

deseased got his fatal dose. The Superintendent has taken steps to ensure
that as far as possible the drug is not introduced by attendants or friends in
future.
Sickness.
7. There were no epidemics of disease during the 3 years under report,
and taking into consideration the tendency of the
insane to suffer from diseases such as diarrhœa,
dysentery and tubercle, which frequently end fatally, the health of the Asylum
may be considered to have been satisfactory. As I was not very satisfied that
the deaths occurring from tubercle did not indicate some increase in the
disease over former years, Major Forster, Deputy Sanitary Commissioner, was
asked to make an inquiry, the result of which has been communicated to Gov-
ernment. He did not consider there was any cause for alarm but he indicated
directions in which it is necessary to take action, and his recommendations are
under consideration.
8. In paragraph 4 of the Punjab Government review of the report of
the Lunatic Asylum for 1916, the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals was
asked to look into the reasons for the falling off in the contributions for paying
patients. This was done and a report submitted to Government in September
last.
Staff.
9. Captain Fleming has had very arduous duties to perform since he
was given sole charge of the Asylum and I have
much pleasure in stating for the information of
Government that his management of the institution has been in all respects
very satisfactory. I concur in his reference to the staff immediately under
his orders.

Superintendent and staff.
14. Major E. L. Ward, I.M.S., held the post of Superintendent of the
Asylum during the year 1915 and was relieved
of these duties by Captain J. F. Fleming, I.S.M.D.,
in January 1916, who has continued to hold charge to the end of the period
under report.
Mr. Moores has given every satisfaction in his duties as European
Warder, since 8th December 1916, from which date he has continuously held
charge of this appointment, and Lala Ram Saran Das, the Asylum Clerk, has
been extremely efficient in coping with the ever increasing amount of clerical
work.
The Female Asylum continues under the care of the Franciscan Sisters
who, as usual, have evinced the utmost devotion and care for the unfortunate
inmates in their charge.

SIR,
I AM directed to forward, for the information of the Government of
India, the statistical tables of the Punjab Lunatic Asylum for the year 1918,
with a note by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, and to convey
the following remarks of the Lieutenant-Governor.
2. Two years ago the daily average strength of the asylum amounted
to 831.27, the highest then on record. During 1918 it has risen to 876.44 or
60 in excess of the total number for whom accommodation is provided. There
has thus been a certain amount of overcrowding in the male section, but it is
reported never to have been acute. The maximum number of insanes confined
on any one day was 904. The large number of military patients suffering from
aberrations due to shell shock and similar causes goes far to account for this
increase in the population, and as these are for the most part cases of rapid
recovery it is not unlikely that despite the growing popularity of the institu-
tion the number of inmates will tend temporarily to diminish in the immediate
future. The same factor is reflected in the number of patients discharged as
cured, which amounted to 201 or nearly twice the number of the year before.
3. The sums received from paying patients have declined by Rs. 557
chiefly owing to the transfer of European insanes to the Ranchi Central
European Asylum. Sixteen patients were thus transferred during the year.
From a report recently received from the authorities at Ranchi it appears
that sufficient discrimination has not in some cases been exercised in the
selection of patients for transfer, and the Lieutenant Governor hopes that care
will in future be taken by District Magistrates that none but Europeans are
sent to Ranchi where the accommodation is strictly limited.
4. The asylum did not escape from the ravages of the influenza
epidemic. Largely owing to this scourge the daily average of sick rose
from 66.75 to 82.74, while the total number of deaths was 130 compared
with 103. A satisfactory feature of the year is an appreciable decrease in the
admissions to hospital for tubercle.
5. Besides the improvements mentioned by the Inspector-General of
Civil Hospitals as completed the Lieutenant-Governor has now sanctioned the
acquisition of an unsightly and insanitary plot of land measuring nearly 50
acres which adjoins the asylum on the south. This will be utilized for the
erection of a new block for suspected tubercle cases and possibly in due course
for the construction of a separate criminal section, while the remaining area
will be levelled and put under cultivation in part by asylum labour. Money
has also been provided in the current year's budget for the remodelling of
