ANNUAL REPORT ON LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
27
The buildings are in a fair state of repair. The sanctioned amount for repairs
was Rs. 288, which was expended. Besides this a sum of Rs. 89 was spent by the
Hospital Assistant in whitewashing, &c., the buildings as cholera was expected,
and I was anxious to have the asylum in as good a sanitary condition as possible.
Water-supply is ample. Two new wells and one repaired have been finished.
The work was superintended by the Hospital Assistant, and every Engineer has
expressed his entire satisfaction in the manner it has been done.
The accompanying eleven statements show in detail the statistics of the asylum
for the year. Rs. 337-8-4 was obtained by lunatic labor, and of this sum
Rs. 278-11-1 were sent to the treasury and the balance spent in treats and amuse-
ments for the lunatics.
Establishment.—Hospital Assistant M. Lingasen Pillay, No. 957, is virtually in
charge of the inmates, and I cannot give him too much praise for the admirable tact
he displays in the treatment of the unfortunate inmates. They like him, and he
takes an individual interest in them all, knowing each by name, and is thoroughly
acquainted with their case, morbid fancies, &c. He has had a personal allowance
of Rs. 20 per mensem granted to him, which he most richly deserves.
Timothy, Overseer, was confirmed last year ; he works well. His pay is small
(Rs. 18). I will recommend him for an increase next year.
The two Duffadars, Govindoo and Powel, also work well and give satisfaction.
The Warders have, on the whole, given satisfaction.
The establishment of Warders is certainly not sufficient. Two Second-class
Warders were promoted to Duffadars and their place was not filled, and I have had
to employ two temporary Warders since August 1881. I recommend that these
two temporary Warders may be made permanent.
I think one Female Warder should get an increase of Rs. 2 per mensem, as
recommended by the Surgeon-General, so as to give her a little position over the
others.
Escapes.—None.
Epidemics.—None.
Vaccination regularly kept up.
I certify that the orders respecting the custody of poisonous drugs issued by
the Principal Inspector-General, Indian Medical Department, dated 23rd January
1863, were carefully carried out.

GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS.
JUDICIAL
DEPARTMENT.
ORDER—dated 21st November 1882, No. 1914, Judicial.
The Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras submits the annual report
on the administration of the Lunatic Asylums for the year ending March 1882.

The total number of civil insanes admitted during the year was 175, a figure a little
below that (182) for last year. Twenty-eight criminal patients were received against
33 in 1880-81. In all three Asylums there was an increase in the number of this
class remaining at the end of the year. Of the cases treated, 131 are said to have
originated from physical, and 57 from moral, causes. A large proportion of those under
the former head is ascribed to the abuse of narcotics. These cases, it is observed, are
found generally to yield readily to treatment, if the exciting cause is withheld at an
early stage of the disease.
3. Sickness and Mortality.—The total admissions into hospital were 261 against
303 in the previous year; of these 213 were discharged as cured, 34 terminated
fatally, leaving 14 on the sick list at the end of the year.
4. The Government are glad to observe that during the year " the rate of
mortality was lower than in any former year," being 9 per cent. of the average daily
strength, as against 12.81 in 1880-81 and as compared with 18.15, the average of the
previous five years. The excessive rate, 34.5 per cent., in the Waltair Asylum,
though lower by 5 per cent. than the figure for the previous year, is again attributed
to the fact that only a comparatively small number of hopeless and incurable cases are
( 46 )
detained there. It is observed, however, that since 1878-79 the average rate is nearly
double of the average of the seven years preceding that year. A strict inquiry should
therefore be instituted at the earliest opportunity, in view to ascertaining whether,
in addition to the cause assigned, there exist special topical causes tending to produce
excessive mortality.
5. The gross charge for all three Asylums is Rs. 5,632 in excess of last year's
figure, and is ascribed to the revision of establishments and the improved scale of diet
recently introduced. Against this expenditure the Surgeon-General is able to point
to an increase in recoveries for boarding lunatics and in the sale proceeds of manu-
facture, which together reduce this excess to about Rs. 3,500.
6. The Government observe with pleasure the testimony borne by the Surgeon-
General to the care and efficiency displayed by the officers placed in charge of these
institutions.
