* The only three districts in which cattle deaths are registered.
† There is no system of registration in force in Burma. Military Police register 33 deaths from Surra,
5 from Anthrax, 2 from other contagious disease and 77 from other causes. Katha, Myitkyina and
Southern Shan States report 8, 15 and 35 deaths from Surra, respectively.
X These diseases are not differentiated by villagers or headmen, but are considered as different
manifestations of Anthrax, and so are included under this heading.

No. P.—8 OF 1924.
OFFICE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL
WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF BOMBAY.
Poona, 29th July 1924.
From
MAJOR-GENERAL A. HOOTON, C.I.E., K.H.P., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
GENERAL DEPARTMENT, BOMBAY.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Govern-
ment, the Triennial Report on the Mental Hospitals in the Bombay
Presidency for the years 1921-1923.
Buildings and Repairs.
2. The annual repairs to the hospital buildings have been
carried out by the Public Works Department.
3. New works, etc., as shown below were carried out at various
hospitals during the triennium.
(a) A ward for 12 female criminal insanes and a dining shed
were built at the N. M. Mental Hospital, Naupada, and some minor
improvements, such as covering the rafters over the barred
gangways leading to the privies in the cells and barbed wire fencing
round the quarters of the clerk, compounder and Brahmin cook,
marble flooring to the sick room, expanded metal screens round two
workshops and trellis work for two bathing platforms were
effected.
(b) At the Ratnagiri Mental Hospital the verandahs of barracks
and cells and the Office buildings, etc., were paved with Shahbad
stone. Additional fire buckets and shelves in the store-room were
provided, six old pattern latrines were converted into new pattern
ones. An iron barred gate in the southern compound wall and iron
webbing to windows of servants' quarters were provided. The
compound wall between the hospital and the Senior Medical
Officer's quarters and a partition wall in servants' quarters were
raised and special repairs to the compound gates were carried out.

(c) At the Central Mental Hospital, Yeravda, the following
works were carried out :—
(1) Rebarring of some windows in the male acute section.
(2) A new block of six rooms in the Indian male section.
(3) Observation blocks outside the enclosing walls.
(4) A block of 'unmarried' quarters for 16 male attendants.
(5) New and superior quarters for Steward, Supervisor and
Nurses.
(6) Division of the European male dining room into two
dining rooms.
(7) Conversion of a block 48 (extra Day room) into two
dormitories for Indian males.
(8) Improvement and enlargement of Deputy Superintendent's
quarters.
(9) Improvement of bathing platforms in Indian wards.
(10) The electrical installation which has proved very efficient
since 1913 has been to some extent re-organised during the
triennium owing to the supply of electric power outside the
Hospital and the Central Prison, the engines have been trebled
in strength, thereby enabling the Mental Hospital to obtain the
current required for the electric heaters for bath water now
being installed and the Cinema. The staff of the Power House
have rendered very satisfactory and harmonious work throughout
the triennium.
(d) At the Dharwar Mental Hospital the quarters of the
two S. M. S. Officers were stone-paved.
(e) At the Hyderabad Mental Hospital the barracks for
convalescent criminal insanes was converted into four cells.
Water supply.
4. During the triennium under review the supply of drinking
water has on the whole been good and sufficient at all the Mental
Hospitals, though it was somewhat defective at Yeravda and
Ahmedabad, specially during the hot seasons.
5. It is understood that a new tank is to be erected near the
Central Prison, Yaravda, and the main augmented, so that it is
hoped sufficient water would be available after the rains. The
present site of the Central Mental Hospital, Yeravda, was selected
mainly because river water was available for gardening, flushing
and other purposes. This has not yet been accomplished for want
of funds and the continued use of the filtered water for gardening
p urposes and flushing W. Cs is obviously costly. It may, however,
be stated that the vegetable out-turn and saving of water cost
would speedily pay for the cost of the river water installation.
6. The well water at Hyderabad Mental Hospital is liable to
contamination. A pipe supply from the Indus was recommended
and sanctioned. It is hoped the work will now be taken up.

STATEMENT No. I.

compared with 1,443.0 in 1922 and 1,436.2 in 1921. The mean
daily average strength for the triennium was 1,453.7 against 1,425.0
for previous three years.
Discharges and Cures.
10. On an average there were 330 males and 28 females cured
during 1921-1923 against 253 males and 37 females in 1918-1920.

1923, against 4.0 in 1922 and 4.3 in 1921, the average for the
triennium being 4.0 against 3.4 for 1918-1920.
12. The health of the inmates at the Naupada Mental Hospital
was very indifferent during 1921, owing to the prevalence of
influenza for which 76 were admitted during the year. Bowels
complaints (99) were also largely responsible for this condition.
Influenza prevailed in Ratnagiri Mental Hospital from 26th January
to 11th February 1921, giving 36 cases of which 3 proved fatal.
Of the 36 cases 15 were inoculated with influenza vaccine in
February 1920 and 21 were uninoculated. The general health of
the insanes at other Mental Hospitals was satisfactory during the
triennium.

average strength was 6.6 as compared with 8.2 in 1922 and 10.9 in
1921. The mean death rate on the daily average strength during
the three years 1921-1923 was 8.6 against 13.9 in 1918-1920.
