Annual Reports (Lunatic Asylums).
No. 1593.
GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Bombay Castle, 20th May 1876.
Letter from the Surgeon General, Indian Medical Department, No. S.B.-145,
dated the 1st May 1876—Submitting the Annual Administration and
Progress Report, printed, on the Insane Asylums in the Presidency for
the year 1875.
RESOLUTION.—There is an increase in the total number of
inmates of Asylums from 849 during 1874-75 to 874 in the year
under notice, of whom 734 were males and 140 females. The total
number of discharged was 228, comprising 205 males and 23 fe-
males, but out of these only 91 were cured, 77 males and 14 fe-
males, the remainder being transferred to the care of friends. At
the end of the year there remained in the asylums throughout the
Presidency 464 males and 104 females. Of these the majority are
chronic cases, and may be regarded as incurable. The annual
average number of cured will consequently be diminished, but this
is, under the circumstances, unavoidable.
2. The number of criminal lunatics has slightly increased from
last year, there being 113 males and 4 females, as compared with
101 males and 5 females. Although it is doubtless desirable that
a separate asylum should be provided for lunatics of this class, yet
Government regret that funds will not at present admit of the
proposal being carried out, and criminal lunatics must, as hereto-
fore, be sent from such asylums as Poona and Dharwar to Colaba.
3. Out of 328 admissions into asylums 89 were Europeans, of
whom 84 were British soldiers, the remainder being contributed
from all parts of the East. The causes of insanity are classed as
" unknown " in 420 cases, while physical causes, such as " ganja "
(154), "hereditary" (37), "alcohol" (35), "epilepsy" (33), and
" opium " (9), account for 268 cases. Ague, dysentery, and diar-
rhœa were the chief diseases. The outbreak of cholera in the
Colaba Asylum caused 9 deaths out of 15 attacks. The percentages
of deaths were high, as is usual among insanes.
4. The expenditure from the treasury was Rs. 88,193, but a
sum of Rs. 6,670 was recovered by receipts from patients' sales of
manufactures and garden produce, thus leaving the net cost to the
State at Rs. 82,523, and showing as the average cost of each lu-
natic about Rs. 149 per annum, which is rather less than last
year. The most notable reduction took place at Colaba, viz., from
B 667—i
60
Rs. 199 per head to Rs. 178, which is creditable to the Superinten-
dent, Dr. Murphy, as the well-being and comfort of the inmates
was in no way diminished. In Ahmedabad the cost rose from
Rs. 84 to Rs. 118 per head, but this is in a great measure owing to
the floods there in the monsoon.
5. The average daily number of employed lunatics has risen
this year from 238 to 277, and though the nature of their employ-
ment cannot of course be remunerative, still the benefit to the in-
sanes is marked. The chief occupations of those employed were
gardening by males and grinding corn by females, though in
Colaba, owing to Dr. Murphy's care and discretion, most of the
tailoring work of the establishment was done by insanes, and a
certain amount of basket and mat making accomplished, while at
Hyderabad, the patients having made bricks, are now engaged in
assisting to build a wall round the grounds.
6. Ventilation and conservancy have been carefully attended
to, and, except at Colaba, the water supply has been excellent.
Till the Tulsi water scheme is accomplished an improvement at
Colaba can hardly be expected.
7. His Excellency the Governor in Council has much pleasure
in recording his satisfaction with the diligence and zealous care be-
stowed on the inmates of the asylums by Drs. Murphy, Holmested,
and Wiehe, while the careful inspections made by Dr. Wyllie are
what might have been expected from that officer's well known
interest in, and long connexion with, the treatment of lunatics at
the Ahmedabad Asylum.
8. To Dr. Thom thanks are due for his concise and excellent
report, which gives all the information which Government would
desire to have.
