Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras,
To
THE CHIEF SECRETAEY TO GOVERNMENT,
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the statistical
returns of the Lunatic Asylums in the Madras Presidency, for the year 1909, with
the following notes supplementary to the same.
2. statements I—VII—There remained at the beginning of the year 145
criminal and 509 civil lunatics, the females in each class numbering 14 and 152
respectively. Admissions included 41 male and 3 female criminals with 132 male and
51 female civil lunatics, the total being 2 more than in the previous year. Among
them the proportion of Muhammadans rose by 5*2 per cent, and that of Native
Christians by 1*7 ; that of Europeans and Eurasians fell by 5*9. The sex vari-
ations among the classes were also very marked, the proportion of females being
advanced among Europeans and Eurasians by 23 per cent, and among Muhammadans
by 16'5, while among Native Christians it was reduced by 7 5. As in previous
years Madras City and the Malabar district supplied the largest number of entrants
(55"5 per cent.); while agriculture and general labour had been the occupation of
28*7 per cent, among those in employment prior to admission. The grouping under
age-limits present no marked variation; and the " type of insanity " statement
(No. VI) varied only in the admission, for the first time since 1898, of two cases
of general paralysis of the insane. The cause of insanity was more often traced
than heretofore, only 37 per cent, being returned as " unknown " in contrast with
51 and 46 in the last two years respectively ; sequentially the tabulation for known
causes varies, the percentage under intoxicants and epilepsy being much increased.
Two admissions found to be suffering from leprosy were lodged in the Leper
Hospital, Madras, The results of treatment were satisfactory, and the mortality
was a reversion to the ordinary rate after the exceptionally high figures of the
last triennium.
3. The population of the asylums is steadily increasing; the daily average
strength of inmates in 1909 contrasted with that of 1900 shows an advance of 24
per cent, no less than 12 of which occurred within the last three years, and 20 at
Madras alone; the relative increase among females has been double that of the
other sex. Concomitantly the number of inmates requiring hospital treatment
is increasing each year, the daily average sick for the past three years being 56*69,
60*83 and 67*86 respectively; the statistics of Madras alone account for the whole
difference. The accommodation has up to now proved sufficient. His Excellency
the Governor on visiting the Madras Asylum in January 1910 suggested that the
ground to the north of that institution be secured for its future extension, and the
matter is now under the consideration of Government.

STATISTICAL RETURNS OF THE LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
4. Statements VIII—X.—The amount recovered from paying patients formed
9*25 per cent, of the income in 1909 as contrasted with 7'54 in 1908 and 7*78 in
1907; and the value of asylum manufactures and products realised respectively
4*08, 327 and 3*64 per cent, during the same periods. The profits per head of insanes
employed on remunerative labour were, for Madras, Rs. 34-0-6, for Vizagapatam,
Rs. 44-1-1, and for Calicut, Rs. 51-15-8 ; an increase in each case on the figures
for 1908. The total expenditure amounted to Rs. 1,65,388-9-2 ; deducting there-
from Rs. 20,122-2-3 remitted to the Treasury, the balance shows an expenditure
lor the year on each inmate of Rs. 164-8-9. The corresponding figure for 1908.
was Rs. 174-1-11. The strength of the establishments was maintained without
change ; but the lower scale of pay drawn by the Superintendent of the Madras
Asylum accounts for the large fall in the charge for " Superintendence," and an
earned addition to the pay of the Deputy Superintendent in the same place for the
latter half of the year led to an increase under " Establishment proper." The
average daily cost of each diet was off annas as in the preceding year. A
small increase under " Contingencies" resulted from better provision being made
for the comfort and amusement of the inmates at Madras.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
P. H. BENSON, M.IL, V.H.S.,
Surgeon-General, I.M.S.,
Surgeon- General with the Government of Madras,
