The admissions from acute mania and acute dementia are more numerous than from all the
other forms of insanity put together. As might be expected, the discharges cured are propor-
tionately greater, and the death-rate less among the acute than among the less robust chronic cases.
The greatest mortality is among those suffering from chronic dementia; out of 10 admissions, there
have been 10 deaths.
17. Alleged causes of insanity (Statement No. 7).—In 9 cases only is the cause of insanity
known; of these, 1 is supposed to be due to grief, 1 to spirit-drinking, 2 to ganja-smoking, 2 to
jealousy, and 3 to the excessive use of opium. Of the 15 unknown we have found since admission
that 2 had been in the habit of consumimg opium and 2 ganja in large quantities; nearly all the
males have been accustomed to more or less opium or ganja. Since tho Asylum was established, 50
were admitted whose insanity was supposed to be due to the excessive use of opium (0), spirits (12), and
ganja (32); of the remainder, in 2 cases fever is supposed to have been the cause, in 4 jealousy, in
8 epilepsy, and in 11 grief. In 93 cases tho cause is not known, or only suspected; of these a great
number have been insane so long that their history has been forgotten.
