No. 619, PUBLIC, 22ND MAY 1897.
GOVERNMENT OF MADRAS.
PUBLIC DEPARTMENT.
READ—the following papers :—
From the Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras, Nos. 231-A and
T 5, dated 15th April and 1st May 1897, respectively.
ORDER—No. 619, Public, dated 22nd May 1897.
The report on the working of the Lunatic Asylums in the Presidency for the
year 1896 was punctually submitted. A new arrangement of the matter which it
contains has, in accordance with the instructions conveyed in G.O., No. 983, Judicial,
dated 8th June 1896, been adopted, and the various aspects of the administration are
thus placed under more appropriate heads than was formerly the case. There is,
however, still room for improvement in this respect. Food and weighments, clothing,
industries and employments and amusements form sub-sections under the head of
Sanitation—an arrangement which is obviously anomalous. These four subjects might
well form a separate sub-division, Miscellaneous, under Part I.
2. Population and Accommodation. —The statistics of the population of all the
asylums for the last two years are compared below :—

* G.O., No. 2499, Judicial, dated 6th December

G.O., No. 1324, Judicial, dated 17th May
1883.
Of the 608 patients who remained under treatment at the beginning of the year,
448 were civil and 160 criminal lunatics: the 156 admissions included 123 of the
former and 33 of the latter class. Of the 584 patients remaining at the end of the
year, 441 were civil. In reviewing the annual report for 1895, the Government
commented upon the great preponderance of civil insanes. The Surgeon-General in
page 19 of his report points out that
previous orders * of Government tended
rather to encourage than to check the
admission into asylums of this class of
patients. The wishes of Government,
however, expressed in paragraph 2 of G.O., No. 983, Judicial, dated 8th June 1896,
had reference solely to lunatics of whose harmlessness there could be no doubt and
in no way affected the existing orders regarding the early removal to asylums of
No. 619, PUBLIC, 22ND MAY 1897.

There was a marked and satisfactory decrease in the sickness in the Madras and
Vizagapatam asylums, not only as compared with 1895, when epidemics raised the
figures to an abnormal height, but also as compared with 1894. The proportion of
sick in the Calicut asylum, however, continues to increase year by year. The
Surgeon-General suggests that this is due to the admission into hospital of weakly
inmates : this explanation, while it might account for a high, does not do so for an in-
creasing, proportion of sick. The Surgeon-General should direct his attention to this
matter, especially as it appears from 1 (b) under section II, Statistics of Health and
Treatment of the Sick, that the increase of admissions in the hospital at Calicut has
added considerably to the cost of diet in that institution.
The mortality in all three asylums fell to about half of what it was in 1895.
Tubercle of the lung was again the cause of a large number of the deaths in the
Madras asylum. The Surgeon-General has not replied to the enquiry in last year's
review whether the appearance of these cases in the list was due to changes in the
nomenclature of diseases or to the effect of dampness or insufficient clothing or
bedding.
There was no epidemic of any sort in any of the asylums. A solitary case of
cholera occurred in that at Madras, but the steps taken to prevent the spread of the
disease were successful.
The reply of the Surgeon-General to memorandum, No. 654, dated 15th March
1897, has been recently received and orders on the proposal to increase the nursing
establishment of the Madras asylum will issue at an early date. Any definite recom-
mendation which the Surgeon-General may have to make regarding trained hospital
attendants in the Calicut and Vizagapatam asylums should be embodied in a separate
communication as soon as the final decision regarding the retention of those institu-
tions is known.
4. Finance, including Manufactures.—The total cost of, and the cost per head of
average strength in, each of the three asylums, as compared with 1895, is shown in the
