could not, look after the manufactures, and so blankets and summer clothing had
to be bought instead of being made up by the lunatics themselves, as usual.
The high expenditure on contingencies is only partially explained by the failure
of the crops sown for feed of bullocks, so that fodder had also to be bought.
8. The number of paying patients in the Lahore Asylum during the
year was 13, of whom 11 were sepoys and 2 were private patients. The amount
received from these was Rs. 405. In Delhi the number was 7, all of whom
appear to have been private patients, and the amount realized from them was
Rs. 557.
9. The profits on account of manufactures at the Lahore Asylum
amounted to Rs. 1,380-13-6, or an increase of Rs. 136-6-0 over last year's
profits. At Delhi they amounted to Rs. 876-5-7, or Rs. 211-7-9 more than last
year. These figures are very satisfactory, especially for Delhi, where the number
of lunatics is so much smaller than in Lahore.
10. A ward for European lunatics, which was much wanted in the Lahore
Asylum, was begun in November last, and will soon be ready for use. Six
additional solitary cells for dangerous lunatics, which were much needed, have
also been begun in this asylum. In Delhi no change has occurred.
11. It was feared that owing to the great expense of bringing a main
from the Municipal Water-Works for the use of the Lahore Asylum, the scheme
would have to be abandoned; but recently (1st May), and since the Annual
Report was written, Dr. Center has been able, in communication with the
Railway authorities, to arrange for a pipe from their main, which will give a
sufficient supply for the wants of the asylum. The estimated cost is only
Rs. 885, and the Chief Engineer of the Railway has kindly offered to see the
work carried out. The proposal is now before Government for sanction.
12. At Delhi, Dr. Ross has also proposed a scheme for supplying a
purer water to the lunatics, as the well they have hitherto used has become
brackish. It will be necessary for him, however, first to obtain an analysis of
the water from the well from which he proposes to obtain his supply, and then
submit a plan and estimate for the work.
5
The number of solitary cells in the dangerous ward was formerly insufficient.
Six new ones have been begun. This will prevent the necessity of using any
other form of physical restraint.
A work-shed in the criminal ward has been sanctioned, but has not been
begun to be built yet, as there were no funds available during the year.
Water-supply.
12. With reference to the Lieutenant-Governor's remarks regarding a
new water-supply, enquiries were made as to the possibility
of getting the municipal water. It was replied that it could
not be given from the Railway main, which was scarcely large enough for
the Railway. The Municipality had no intention of laying down a larger main,
even if it was asked for, as there were no funds. The cost of a separate main
from the Yakki gate would be Rs. 11,600. As a temporary measure, arrange-
ments will be made to get drinking and cooking water brought from the
municipal hydrant in a water cart, and distributed and stored in a cleanly
manner. Water for washing and cleaning purposes will be supplied, as before,
from the well in the asylum.
Establishment.
13. Dr. Gray held the office of Superintendent from the beginning of the
year till the 25th July, when I took over charge. The
Matron, Mrs. A. E. Sinnott, died on the 2nd October of
pneumonia, and Mrs. M. Mahon was appointed in her place on the 2nd November.
The Deputy Superintendent, Assistant Surgeon Abdul Hamid, and the Clerk
Javand Lál, have done their work satisfactorily. First class warder Shamshere
Khán is now old and sickly, and has been off work from sickness for prolonged
periods. He will be recommended for gratuity. A younger man who is physically
fit for the duties is required in his place.

No. 31, dated 3rd February 1885.
From—The DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, Delhi,
To—The COMMISSIONER and SUPERINTENDENT, Delhi Division.
I HAVE the honor to submit, for favor of transmission to the Surgeon-
General of the Punjab, the report and returns submitted by Surgeon-Major
G. C. Ross on the working of the local Lunatic Asylum during the year 1884.
2. At the close of 1883, 87 lunatics were under treatment, and during
the year under notice, 62 new cases were admitted and 2 old ones re-admitted,
thus bringing up the total number of insanes treated during the year to 151.
Of the number thus treated, 17 were discharged during the year as cured, 10
were made over to the care of friends and relatives, 6 were discharged as not
being insane, and 100 remained under treatment at the close of the year.
3. The year under notice proved an unusually unhealthy one. The
number of admissions into hospital was 157, and the death-rate was the highest
since 1878, the heaviest mortality being from pneumonia.
4. The cost per head has again been reduced, the expenses for the year
under report having fallen by Rs. 5-3-0 when compared with those of 1883.
5. The figures giving the receipts for the year are very satisfactory.
The profits on labor aggregated Rs. 847-14-7, and Rs. 557 was received on
account of " paying lunatics." Dr. Ross complains of the general expenses
connected with the up-keep of the asylum garden, but these expenses form but
a very small item of the sum of Rs. 401 realized from the garden ; and as he is
able to grow jowár for the feed of the bullocks in years of sufficient rainfall, the
item of expense noted is a matter of very little importance.
6. Seventy lunatics, out of a daily strength of 96.33, were employed on
some sort of labor during the year, and five looms were worked by the patients
for the manufacture of cloth. The employment of lunatics on light labor is one
of the most satisfactory features of the present report, and the practice has
already shown very good results. The plan of affording lunatics recreation by
supplying them with musical instruments and cards is also a good one, and helps
to recovery in many instances.
7. The Deputy Superintendent, Mr. Cousins, was dismissed on the 9th
November, Mr. Bernard being appointed in his place.
8. Dr. Ross takes a keen interest in the management of the asylum, and
the excellent results recently achieved are in great measure due to his careful
and constant supervision.
Endorsement by COMMISSIONER, Delhi Division.
No. 119, dated 9th February 1885.
COPY of above, with the enclosures in original, forwarded to the Surgeon-
General, Punjab, with the remark that Commissioner has nothing to add to the
Deputy Commissioner's remarks.
2. Commissioner thought the asylum in a most satisfactory state when
he visited it.
