Those of Toxic causation numbered 73 of which the hemp drugs were
responsible for 61. Cases of traumatic origin numbered 8, "diseases of the
nervous system " 28, and " other general affections." 2.
Statement VIII.—Cash account.
9. The total receipt from all sources is Rs. 1,70,788 as against Rs.
1,79,229 in 1914 and Rs. 1,76,642 in
1913. This diminution is due to a smaller
receipt under head Public Works Department and superintendence. The
charges on account of dietary are larger than the two previous years and this
is only natural considering the steady increase of the asylum population and
the prevailing high prices for food stuff during the year under report. Establish-
ment proper shows an increase of approximately Its. 6,000 on the previous
year's expenditure which is mainly due to the entertainment of additional staff,
improvement in their emoluments and on account of compensation due to
dearness of provisions. The receipts from paying patients were advanced by
nearly Rs. 3,000 as compared with the figures for the previous year.
Statement X.—Manufactures.
10. These have been carried on on the usual scale, affording as they do
a very suitable occupation for a large
number of the inmates. A cash profit
of Rs. 1,095 realized on account of sale of articles was deposited in the treasury
A sum between Rs. 500 to 600 still remained to be realized from the sales, a
fact which accounts for the falling off of the figures when compared with
those for the previous year.
General.
11. During the year cubicular accommodation to the number of 90 was
added by the conversion of some of the
sleeping barracks. This change, though
it has very materially added to the comfort and safety of the inmates, has
however substantially decreased the total accommodation and with the rapidly
increasing number of inmates it is evident that extra accommodation will
doubtless become a matter of urgency at no very distant date.
The asylum has now been fitted with electric lights and fans; needless
to say that this has proved a great boon and is appreciated both by the staff
and the inmates. The addition of four annexses to the female asylum has
been of great value and has definitely diminished the congestion that was
being felt in that section of the institution.
12. Major Ward held charge as Superintendent throughout the year
in addition to his onerous duties of Superintendent of the Lahore Central Jail
and in spite of the dual charge he gave much time and attention to his duties
connected with the Asylum. He was very ably seconded by Lieutenant J. F.
Fleming, I.S.M.D., whose long connection with the Asylum and valuable
experience make his services invaluable in dealing with the inmates.
The Franciscan Sisters in charge of the female asylum continue to
devote themselves, regardless of self to their trying and arduous duties with
their accustomed zeal.

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 1916, with a note
by the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, and to convey the follow-
ing remarks of the Lieutenant-Governor.
2. The rise in the number of inmates and in the daily average strength
of the Asylum still continues, the latter which amounted to 831.27 being the
highest on record and 15 in excess of the total number for whom accommodation
is provided. There has been an appreciable increase as compared with last year
in the number of patients discharged as cured, although in this respect the
figures of 1912 have not been reached again.
3. The year was free from epidemics and on the whole a healthy one.
The daily average of sick was much below that of last year, while the death rate
up to the end of August was as low as 4.72 calculated on the average population
for these months. During the latter part of the year, however, mortality was
high, 21 deaths having been reported in November alone, out of which 7 were
due to disease of a definitely tuberculous nature. Major Forster, I.M.S., has
been asked to make enquiries and submit a report with reference to the pre-
sence of tuberculous disease in the Asylum.
There were no serious cases of escape.
4. During the year quarters for 10 attendants and 8 sweepers were con-
structed, and also a cottage for the European Warder. With a view to economy
the steam engine used for pumping up the supply of drinking water is being
replaced by an electric motor. The Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals is being
asked to look into the reasons for the falling off in the contributions for paying
patients which is difficult to reconcile with the increase in the total and average
number of patients.
Accommodation in the male asylum has been very congested but some
relief will be afforded by the provision of a block of 20 cubicles on the upper
storey of the Quarantine block which is nearing completion. The Inspector-
General of Civil Hospitals has also been asked to formulate proposals for the
acquisition of more land adjacent to the Asylum in view of its probable expansion
in the near future.
5. The chief cause of insanity in the patients admitted during the year was
again the use of hemp drugs though the number of patients in whose case
hereditary insanity was the predisposing cause has also increased considerably.

6. His Honour wishes to express his appreciation of the efficiency with
which Lieutenant Fleming, I.S.M.D., and his staff have carried on the work of
the Asylum during the year. His acknowledgments are also due to the
Franciscan Sisters who continue to look after the welfare of the female patients
with their usual devotion and unremitting self-sacrifice.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
L. FRENCH,
Additional Secretary to Government, Punjab.
