The total mortality was 36, giving a death-rate of 11 per cent. Of these 36
four had not been in the asylum one month, three less than two months, and five
eight months or less. Only three deaths were due to tuberculosis. In many in-
stances the deaths from debility or debility plus diarrhoea have occurred in the
persons of those who refused their food. Feeding by tube had to be resorted to
with much greater frequency this year than formerly, and it increases one's diffi-
culties when, in addition to disease or decline, one has to combat an obstinate
refusal to swallow even water.
23. Statement IX, showing the cash account, &c.—The total expenditure
for the year, excluding book debit, was Rs. 42,355-1-0 as against Rs. 36,615-11-0
for 1896.
The increase occurred under establishment, diet, and contingencies; that
under the latter is accounted for by larger purchases of raw materials and furniture
for the new hospital building, while under establishment the rise is due partly
to the employment of a gardener and partly to payments made to certain cured
criminal lunatics as stipends. The cost per head is decreased under clothing and
medicines. The average cost per head is considerably over that of last year.
The cause of the increase in the cost of diet is still under enquiry.
24. Statement X, showing the sanctioned establishment, &c.—No changes
have been made in the sanctioned establishment.
25. Statement showing receipts and expenditure on account of manufac-
tures, &c.—The manufacture credits were Rs. 8,197-11-5 as against Rs. 7,526-5-2,
showing a slight increase.
26. Concluding
remarks.—Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel
Thomas held
charge up to 12th April 1897, when he was relieved by Surgeon-Captain Sellick.
I took over from the latter on the 19th June 1897 and was in charge until the end
of the year.
Assistant Surgeon Prins was Deputy Superintendent up to 10th September
1897, when he was recalled to military duty. Although in some respects he did
his duty well, he had not the capacity to supervise and control those under him.
The Overseer and Sub-Overseer have not done well, and I regret I am unable
to report favourably of them.
