7. There were 194 deaths against 107 in 1925. The ratio of
deaths per cent. of the daily average strength was 12.6 as compared
with 6.9 in the preceding year. The unusually large death rate
at the Mental Hospitals at Thana and Dharwar has been found to
be fortuitous and is not likely to recur. At the Mental Hospital,
Hyderabad, it was due to an out-break of Influenza. The following
table gives the ratio of deaths per cent. to the daily average strength

other tubercular diseases (32), Nervous diseases (12), anæmia
(12), Dysentery (10), Influenza (9), Pneumonia (7) and Diseases
of the Heart (5). The high death rate at Naupada is attributed to
the admission of several moribund cases and deaths among chronic
cases. Of the total number of deaths (88) at this Mental Hospital,
32 were due to bowel complaints and 29 to T. B. of the lung and
other tubercular diseases.

Employments and amusements
17. Gardening, weaving and cane work continue to be the chief
occupations of the insanes. They are also employed in helping in

the domestic work of the institutions. Rs. 3,059 were spent during
the year on the amusements and recreation of the insanes as
compared with Rs. 2,724 expended for the purpose in 1925.
Visitors
18. The official visitors were regular in their attendance at the
several Mental Hospitals.
General Remarks
19. As the accommodation for insanes is not quite sufficient steps
are being taken to increase it beginning with the Central Mental
Hospital, Yeravda. It is hoped also gradually to improve the
accommodation available in the other Mental Hospitals.
20. A summarised report of the Central Mental Hospitals,
Yeravda, is published as an appendix.

APPENDIX
Annual Report of the Central Hospital for Mental Diseases,
Yeravda, for the year 1926
I have been in charge of the Hospital throughout the year.
Statement I.—On January 1st 1926, the population of the
Hospital was 589. During the year 170 new cases, 124 males and
46 females, were admitted as compared with 166 for 1925. The
total number treated in 1926 was 759 as compared with 721 for
1925.
During the year 85 patients were discharged recovered, 16
improved, 11 not improved, and 15 otherwise, giving a total of 127,
as compared with 110 in 1925. The deaths numbered 28 leaving
a total of 604 on 31st December 1926. The causes of deaths were
as shown below :—

The general health of the patients was good throughout the
year.
The total accommodation on 31st December 1926 was 572. No
additional accommodation has been provided during the year.
Statement I-A.—Shows the number of cases sent for observation
during the year ; the total was 32 ; of these 2 died and 4 were
discharged as they were not insane. It is deserving of notice that
these observation cases are increasing every year ; there were 11
in 1924, 27 in 1925 and 32 in 1926. Many of these cases are
brought to the Hospital by parents or relatives in the same way
as other cases are taken to General Hospitals for diagnosis and
treatment. It is an indication that the work and purpose of the
Hospital are becoming more widely known to the general public
and signs are not wanting that the old stigma, formerly attached
to patients admitted to this Hospital is gradually disappearing, as
public opinion becomes more educated about mental diseases and
their treatment.
It is even more gratifying to note that during the year we have
admitted 11 voluntary boarders, none of whom asked to be
discharged until they had completely recovered and until I had
informed them that they could derive no further benefit from
remaining in Hospital. These figures 32 plus 11 or 43 in all,
represent 25 per cent. of our total admissions who were admitted
without previous certification.
6
Statement II.—Criminal patients. The total number was 37
during the year ; 9 were discharged and 2 died, leaving 26 in
Hospital. A large proportion of these remaining cases are old or
demented patients who can no longer be considered dangerous in
the least degree. I have recently recommended that these should
have their charges withdrawn and be made ordinary civil patients.
If this is done, I expect the relatives of some will come forward
and take them out of Hospital.
Occupation for patients.—This consists of gardening, working, in
the farm lands, assisting in the office, in the stores, library, kitchen,
carpenter's shop, etc., some spinning and weaving and caning of
chairs is also done. The women do needle work, knitting, corn
grinding, spinning, etc., etc. Occupational therapy is a well recog-
nised method of treatment and one which yields excellent results
in Mental Hospitals in European countries, but here, the facilities
for carrying out this kind of treatment are very poor indeed. A
Hospital of this size should have a workshop with a trained
Overseer in charge whose duty would be the organising of work
and the instruction of the patients. In the same way, a work
mistress should be employed on the female side.
Hospital Out-turn.—The value of garden produce supplied to the
Hospital as well as to the public in 1926 was Rs. 9,288-9-1 as
compared with Rs. 10,049-13-9 in 1925. The decrease is mainly
due to the sewage-bound plots for vegetables being given a rest
under the expert advice of the Government Agricultural authorities.
The jaggery made from our sugarcane crop has been very
satisfactory and is estimated at Rs. 2,600 against Rs. 2,250 of the
previous year. The cereal crop of jowari has fetched a price of
Rs. 2,200 the highest yet realized—against a sum of Rs. 600
in 1925.
Recreation and Amusements.—The amount spent from the special
grant this year was Rs. 1,559-3-0 as compared with Rs. 1,187-15-0
in 1925.
The usual weekly recreation hall entertainments have been held
regularly and there has been a distinct increase lately in the number
of patients playing tennis, cricket, football and badminton. Once
a month a party of over 100 men and women have gone out into
the surrounding country for picnics lasting the whole day ; these
are greatly appreciated and I have even permitted selected patients
to go swimming in the river, under supervision, of course.
Mr. Mody the Proprietor of the Empire Cinema, Poona, continues
to provide us with a weekly Cinema show free of charge. We
now have an efficient projector of our own the funds for the
purchase of which were sanctioned by Government last year ; but
for films, we are entirely dependent on the generosity and kindness
of the abovenamed gentleman who sends every week his own
operator with sufficient films for two hours continuous entertain-
ment. The patients are most grateful for this weekly show and
I desire to express again my thanks to Mr. Mody.

During the year we have received numerous small gifts such as
musical instruments from ladies and gentlemen interested in the
Hospital. The Red Cross Society of India sends us quarterly a
number of useful articles such as hospital comforts, invalid chairs,
games, writing materials, etc., etc.
