REPORT
ON
THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR 1880.
RANGOON: PRINTED AT THE GOVERNMENT PRESS, 1881.
RESOLUTION
ON THE
REPORT ON THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR 1880.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner, British Burma, in the Judicial Department,—
No. 74-C., dated the 8th March 1881.
READ—
Report on the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for the year 1880.
RESOLUTION.—The report on the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum was punctually
submitted by the Superintendent on the 14th January 1881. It contains an
interesting and generally satisfactory account of the year's doings. The accommo-
dation of the asylum has been considerably increased, and the overcrowding, which
has formed an unsatisfactory feature of the reports of previous years, now no longer
exists. Careful attention has been paid to sanitary matters, and the Superinten-
dent is satisfied with the present arrangements for conservancy, water-supply, and
bathing. The death-rate, which equalled 10.58 per cent. of the average strength,
though less than that of either of the two previous years, was yet somewhat high.
It may be hoped that with the increased accommodation which has now been
provided, and with continued attention to sanitary arrangements, the death-rate
will be further reduced.
2. The daily average number of patients was 179.61, which is less than it
has been since the year 1876. This result is no doubt in some part due to
compliance with the orders issued in the Government of India letter of the
14th September 1877 regarding the kind of lunatics who should alone be received
as unpaying patients into the asylum. The special attention of the Superinten-
dent and of all Magistrates throughout the province has of late been called to
these orders.
3. Such of the patients as were fit for work were suitably and profitably
employed in gardening and other forms of light manual labour. The result of
the year's work was a profit of Rs. 3,160-10-7, or an average of Rs. 19-10-1 for each
lunatic at work. These figures include the profit derived from the garden as well
as that obtained from manufactures proper. Fuller particulars with regard to the
employment of the patients, the area and produce of the garden, the success
attained in each of the different classes of manufactures which were carried on,
and the like, would have been of interest. The general results of the employment
of the prisoners appear to have been satisfactory.
4. Owing to an increase in the cost of rations and to the reduction in the
number of patients, the annual cost of each inmate was somewhat higher than in
the previous year. The net cost of each patient to Government, after deducting
the amounts realized from manufactures and the sums received from the friends of
paying patients, was Rs. 70-6-8 in 1879 and Rs. 72-13-6 in 1880.
5. The statements showing the residence, religion, sex, and age of the
patients, their occupation previous to admission, the types of insanity from which
( 2 )
they were suffering, and the supposed causes thereof, present no features of special
interest. The number of patients under treatment in the asylum is scarcely
sufficiently large to justify any general deductions from these statistics. The
attention of District Officers will be invited to the Superintendent's remarks in
paragraph 11 of the report on the subject of the unnecessary committal of aged
imbeciles to the asylum.
6. The Chief Commissioner has noticed with pleasure that Dr. Griffith is
able to report a marked improvement in nearly every detail of the asylum manage-
ment. The conduct of the establishment has been good, the health of the
inmates has improved, and their general well-being has been most carefully and
successfully provided for. There have been no escapes. Credit is due to
Dr. Griffith and Mr. Robinson, the Overseer, for these results.

REPORT
ON
THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
FOR THE YEAR 1880.
From Surgeon-Major H. GRIFFITH, Superintendent, Lunatic Asylum, Rangoon, to the Deputy Surgeon-
General, Indian Medical Department, British Burma division,—dated the 14th January 1881.
THE accompanying papers and tables, which I have the honour of submitting
for the information of the Chief Commissioner, show in figures the statistical facts
of the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for the year 1880 and such details of its manage-
ment, financial and otherwise, as can be reduced to tabular form.
Annual Report on the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum for the year 1880.
1. Situation and buildings.—During the year under review there has been no
change in the buildings occupied by the civil inmates; they are kept in proper
repair.
Twenty-eight additional cells for criminals, sanctioned in 1878, were com-
pleted during the course of last year. The building, which runs north and south
and at right angles to the older cells, is constructed of brick, is well raised from
the ground, and has a good asphalte floor. It consists of a double row of cells,
with a commodious passage between them, measuring 8 feet wide, each cell being
10 feet by 10 feet and 15 feet high.
The only fault I have with them is that in the south-west monsoon the
rain beats in through the ventilators at the top of the building, rendering those on
the weather side quite uninhabitable. This has been brought to the notice of the
Executive Engineer, who has designed a plan to prevent water entering without
interfering with the ventilation. This much-needed alteration will be carried out,
it is to be hoped, before the rainy season sets in.
The dead-house, which was asked for eight years ago, has not yet been
erected. The money for building a wooden structure has been long ago sanctioned;
but the Burmans and Chinese decline to build it, because, as they say, men and
women are cut up in it. To get over this difficulty it was suggested that it should
be built of brick.
Observation-rooms and cells for violent civil insanes have been completed
and frequently occupied during the year under review.
The building, which runs east and west, has two observation-rooms, 11 feet
by 11 feet, and eight strong rooms, 11 feet by 8 feet, within the walls. The front
part is protected from the weather by a covered verandah; they are cool, com-
fortable, well-ventilated from above and below, and are in every way suitable for
Natives.
The asylum, as regards buildings, may be said to be very complete just now.

The contractor of the Rangoon Jail supplies the articles of food. The prices
of 1880 were higher than in 1879, that of beef especially. The raw provisions
supplied were of good quality, but at the beginning of the year the contractor gave
a good deal of trouble.
The rations are well cooked. No change has been made in the scale of diet
during the year. Every attention has been paid to the diet. The rations are
inspected and passed by the overseer, both in their raw and cooked state. The
meals have been issued at regular hours twice a day, and the same order and
decency of conduct during meals has been enforced.
POPULATION ADMISSIONS, &c.
Statement No. I.—On the 31st December 1879 there were 189 inmates in

From Statement No. I it will be seen that the number admitted was less by
22 than during 1879 and the number cured less by 13; the number of deaths
was also less by 6.
The daily average strength is 20.81 less than last year.
The percentage of cured to daily average strength and to admissions is less
than those of the preceding year; but the percentages of deaths to both daily
average strength and admissions have also decreased.
A percentage of recoveries somewhat below the average is to be accounted for
by a reference to the character of the cases admitted. A large proportion, when
received into the asylum, were obviously far beyond all hopes of treatment in its
curative sense, and the most that could be done for them was to bring about, if
possible, some improvement in their exhausted bodily condition,—a result which is
usually attended by a mitigation of the worse mental symptoms even when recovery
is out of the question. Agreeably with former experience, the movement towards
termination and discharges of cases in whatever way has been mainly confined
to the admissions of late years. Amongst patients received within two years the
movement was active, rather more than seven-eighths of all discharges coming
from them.
It must be stated that the term " recovered " has been applied only to those
cases when the patient has been so far restored as to appear fully capable of perform-
( 8 )
as increased confidence in those looking after them and reliance on their advice ;
in a diminution of attempts to escape from the building, although the facilities
to escape are great ; an improved bodily health, diminution of sickness, and dimi-
nution of deaths.

Note.- The capacity of the Rangoon Lunatic Asylum is, at 80 superficial feet per patient, 219 for males, 36 for females : total, 255.
The maximum number of lunatics confined on any one night was 170 males, 20 females : total, 190.
Note—The percentages in this statement differs from those of previous reports, owing to the calculations being made on the entire population instead of separately on male and female population of the
Asylum.
