REPORT
ON
THE RANGOON LUNATIC ASYLUM
For the year 1888.
From Surgeon-Major D. SINCLAIR, M.B., Inspector-General of Jails, with Civil Medical Administration.
Burma, to the Secretary to the Chief Commissioner, Burma,—No. 670-86M., dated the 13th February
1889.
I HAVE the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Rangoon Lunatic
Asylum for the year 1888. During the year under review the system of manage-
ment and discipline maintained in the Asylum remained the same as formerly.
In my absence on tour difficulties occasionally arose through the non-attendance
at the monthly meetings of the other medical members of the Committee. To
obviate this the Chief Commissioner was pleased to add Surgeon Stuart Davis
to the list of visitors.
2. The features of importance in the Superintendent's report appear to
be—
(a) the insufficiency of the accommodation ;
(b) the high mortality ; and
(c) the considerable contribution towards maintenance paid by Munici-
palities and townships.
(a) On the male criminal side there are only 76 cells. The daily average
strength of the male criminal class was 83 and, as only one individual may be
accommodated in each cell, room had to be found for the difference on the male
civil side. In September the Superintendent reported that he could not pro-
vide for more. Dr. Griffith suggests that an upper story should be added to
the remaining single-storied block. The enclosed area gives little more than
100 square yards per man when the present accommodation is full and, looking
to its already cramped condition, it may not be advisable to introduce more cells.
But even if this were done, future requirements would not, I fear, be met, more
particularly if the " Rules for the treatment of recovered criminal lunatics,"
published in the Supplement to the Calcutta Gazette of the 22nd August
1888 and recently submitted to the Asylum Visitors for criticism, are adopted.
By these rules, in the main very excellent, though some of the details are im-
practicable in Burma owing to the protracted periods of probation (from
three to six years) which have to be undergone in the Asylum after all mani-
festations of insanity have ceased, criminal lunatics, the Superintendent informs
me, will tend to accumulate. In the long run it may be found best to have
another asylum for the upper province though, according to Statement No. 3,
the admissions of Burmese from that quarter are singularly few. With the
gradual rise of the population of the Asylum in recent years there have been
difficulties connected with the supply of water not only to the inmates for drink-
ing, cooking, &c., but for gardening purposes. Dr. Griffith is of opinion that
two more wells are absolutely necessary. By the end of April next water from
the lakes under pressure can be delivered at the Asylum. From the experience
gained in the Rangoon Jail it is probable that a more plentiful and permanent
supply would be obtained by deepening one or more of the existing wells than
by digging additional ones.
( 5 )
It is supposed that the disease was brought into the Asylum by a patient
admitted from Upper Burma. This man was sickly on admission and was re-
ceived into the hospital the day he was admitted into the Asylum; his disease
is entered in the register as bronchitis, but he was also suffering from watery
diarrhœa. This was the first case attacked with cholera. The second case was
also a patient in hospital, dying on the same day as the other. Afterwards the
patients came from all parts of the Asylum and there seemed no difference in
any as to the deadly nature of the poison or the rapidity of its operations.
Of the 11 cases admitted eight occurred amongst recent admissions.
With reference to the cause of this outbreak I am unable to offer an opinion.
There is no doubt the Asylum was very full at the time, but there was no over-
crowding. The first case seemed attributable to infection as stated before, but
subsequent attacks occurring almost simultaneously in all parts of the insti-
tution remote from and unconnected with the hospital previously infected are
more difficult of explanation. To the precautionary and preventive measures I
can refer with more satisfaction.
The diet of the patients was entirely changed, white rice was used instead
of that prepared in the Asylum, and all the delicate and weakly patients were
given soup, &c.
The attendants had strict injunctions to watch carefully the patient under
their charge and on the earliest approach of alvine disorder to give immediately
the appropriate medicine, and next to report the case to myself. So soon as pa-
tients were observed in a state approaching or commencing collapse they were
removed to the cholera ward, a building having been set apart for that purpose,
and competent attendants appointed in them with all appliances that might be
required for instant employment. This separation seemed desirable both for
placing the patients attacked away so as to remove a possible source of infection
from among those previously healthy and to prevent the alarm and dread which
the presence of such extreme cases might occasion among other patients.
Disinfectants are habitually and freely employed in all the cleansing pro-
cesses in the Asylum and were distributed in more abundant quantities since the
invasion of cholera.
Phthisis pulmonalis.—It will be seen that a large number of cases of tuber-
cle succumbed during the year. There were altogether eight cases admitted
with seven deaths, or 87.50 per cent. It may be said that all these were chronic
cases of the disease. Three cases were diagnosed as having the disease when first
admitted into the Asylum and one diagnosed shortly after admission; the rest
(four) seemed to have contracted the disease since admission. Nos. 4, 6,11, and
26, as shown in the table of mortality given below, had had the disease for several
years.

Statement X contains the sanctioned establishment at the close of the
year and requires no remarks.
Statement XI.—From the proceeds of manufactures, &c., during 1888
Rs. 6,451-8-8 were remitted to the treasury as compared with Rs. 7,260-15-6 in
1887.
To explain this I should state that, although the crop in the garden was
not so good as it was in former years, there was no demand for roselle during
the past year and it was not sold; in former years the profit from this was
very large. There was no demand for lunatic labour during the rains; people
were afraid of employing them on account of the prevalence of cholera in the
Asylum. Adding together the profit from manufactures and receipts from
miscellaneous sources the amount realized from paying patients and from
Municipalities, which make up Rs. 14,149-12-11, and deducting this from the
total expenditure of Rs. 24,029-7-4, we get a balance of Rs. 9,879-10-5 as the
actual cost to Government on account of the Asylum during the year, and the
average cost of each lunatic is Rs. 42-15-3, or Rs. 13-9-1 less than the previous
year. This difference is of course due to the fact that Municipalities are paying
for the maintenance of a greater number of pauper lunatics.
Taking into account the money received from relatives for the mainten-
ance of patients, the amount received from Municipalities, and the money value
of the labour of the inmates, it is calculated that each lunatic on an average
contributed Rs. 61-6-6.
The following is a detailed comparative statement of the money received
for maintenance, labour, sale of articles produced or manufactured at the Asy-
lum, and from miscellaneous sources :—

N.B.—This includes Rs. 242, the amount realized for calves sold.
Establishment.—There was no change in the establishment. Mr. Goodwin
continues to sustain the reputation which he has already earned for good con-
duct and efficiency. He was particularly attentive in carrying out orders dur-
ing the cholera time.
Jemadar Ismail Sheriff is always active, zealous, industrious, thoroughly
trustworthy, and painstaking to a degree.
Hospital Assistant Abdul Jubbur rendered valuable service during the
year, and so did Hospital Assistant Khuburuddin, who was lent by the Hos-
pital authorities during the prevalence of cholera in the Asylum.
