Of the 584 patients remaining at the beginning of the year 441 were civil, and 143
criminal, lunatics. The 158 admissions included 128 of the former, and 30 of the
latter, class. The Surgeon-General's report as to the possibility of handing over to the
care of their friends or relatives the harmless civil lunatics in the three asylums was
recorded in G.O., No. 989, Public, dated 23rd July 1897. Only five lunatics were
thus handed over. The further communication on the subject promised by the
Surgeon-General has not yet been submitted.
3. There was a marked decrease in the number of lunatics discharged as cured
or improved, for which no explanation has been suggested. The statement of
previous occupations of the patients exhibits no noticeable variation from those of
previous years except in the case of soldiers, of whom a large number (10) were
admitted.
4. Mania was again the prevailing type of insanity. The proportion of cases
treated in which it was found possible to assign a specific cause of insanity remained
almost the same as in 1896, namely, 73 per cent. Ganja smoking continues to be
shown as the chief physical cause of insanity, but the Surgeon-General has again
omitted to offer any remarks on the correctness of this diagnosis upon which doubts
were expressed by Government in reviewing the reports for 1895 and 1896.
5. The accommodation in all three asylums was sufficient. Proposals for additions
to, and improvements on, the buildings of the Madras asylum have been received
and are now under consideration. Provision has been made in the Public Works
Department budget for the current year for the execution of the works sanctioned in
G.O., No. 1701, Judicial, dated 28th October 1896.

The reduction in the average cost per head in the Madras and Calicut asylums
has been effected in spite of a great rise in the price of grain and is noted with satis-
faction. The rise in the cost in the Vizagapatam asylum is attributed to the high
prices of food, owing to famine, and to increased establishment charges. In spite of
these additional expenses the total cost per head, as well as the cost per head for
diets, continues to be far less at Yizagapatam than in the other asylums. The high
cost in Madras is partly due to the comparatively large number of European diets
supplied. It is also observed that there has been an increase in the number of paying
patients whose fees are separately credited to Government, so that the actual cost to
the State is somewhat less than appears in the foregoing table.
13. The profits from manufactures declined, the average profit per head of those
employed on remunerative labour being considerably less than in 1896 in the Madras
and Vizagapatam asylums. No reason is assigned for this falling off. In spite of the
remarks in the review of the report for 1896, the number of patients employed on
remunerative labour in the Madras asylum showed no improvement, nor has any
explanation of the smallness of their number been offered. The Surgeon-General has
not explained the great excess in the number of working days in the Madras asylum
as compared with the other institutions, which was referred to in last year's review.
Work is apparently carried on in the Madras asylum on most Sundays, which would
seem undesirable as depriving the establishment of its day of rest. The Surgeon-
General is requested to report on this point.
14. The report is, on the whole, a satisfactory one. Surgeon-Captain Xeet Palk's
administration of the Madras asylum was, as usual, efficient, while the asylum at
Vizagapatam, though labouring under disadvantages owing to famine, continued, under
Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel Leapingwell's capable management, to compare favourably
with the other two institutions in many respects. The Government notes with pleasure
the steady improvement in the Calicut asylum. Since the receipt of the Surgeon-
General's report His Excellency the Governor in Council has heard with regret of the
death of Assistant Surgeon Judge, whose valuable assistance in the administration of
the Madras asylum had on several occasions been brought to the favourable notice of
Government The Surgeon-General's commendation of the hospital assistants in all
three asylums is noted with satisfaction.

(1) Military and Civil Lunatics.—From the above it will be seen that of
Military and Civil Lunatics there remained on the 1st January 318 males and
118 females; admissions during the year numbered 86 and 26, respectively, and
I female was re-admitted; 29 males and 7 females were discharged cured;
II males and 1 female left the asylums much improved; 1 male from the
Madras Asylum was taken over by his relations without any improvement in his
condition. Of ' discharged otherwise,' there were 13 males and 2 females ; of
this last group, 4 Military lunatics were transferred to England. 29 males and
14 females died during the year. At the end of the year there remained under
treatment 321 males and 121 females. The average daily strength of the sexes
was 323*49 and 118*38, the ratio per cent, being 73-21 males and 26*79 females, as
compared with 72*05 males and 27*95 females the average ratio for the preceding
ten years.
(2) Criminal Lunatics.—The above details in relation to Criminal Lunatics
may be gathered from Statement II. It is only necessary to remark here that of
the admissions, 4 had been tried and acquitted, 12 were under-trial prisoners incap-
able of a making a defence, and 3 were cases that became insane during confine-
ment in jail.
(3) General.—(a) The religions of new admissions are given in Statement III.
The Madras Presidency furnished 16 European and East Indian and 10 Native
Christians, 67 Hindus, 15 Muhammadans, and 11 of ' other castes.'
(b) In Statement IV are detailed the previous occupations of insanes admitted
during the year. In 24 cases the occupation was not known, and 18 others were
reported to have no occupation. Of the remainder—92 in number—there were
unskilled labourers 15, cultivators 13, and sepoys 11.
(c) In Statement Y is tabulated the ages of new admissions. 96 were admitted
between the ages of 20 and 40 years, and 28 between 40 and 60 years, forming,
respectively, 71*64 and 20*90 per cent, of the total. The corresponding ratios for
the preceding ten years are 70*40 and 22*62.
(d) The distribution of the lunatics, according to types of insanity (vide
Statement VI), gives the following particulars :—

The lower set of figures is interesting as showing the steady increase in the
epileptic population of the asylums.
(e) In Statement VII the causes of admission are tabulated as far as can be
ascertained. Cases of insanity attributable to intoxicants do not occur so frequently

Moral causes also have declined in frequency ; but a larger proportion of cases
are set down as of * unknown ' origin—a fact due to the want of observation in
cases when they first occur.
6. The escapes during the year numbered 3 from the Madras Asylum, 1 from
Vizagapatam, and 4 from Calicut. Two of the Madras insanes, the Vizagapatam one
and two of the Calicut inmates were captured during the year 1898, and another
Calicut male was brought back after the beginning of the current year. The warders
concerned were severely punished, and the police have been informed of the parties
still at large.

(2) New constructions.—(a) Of completed works there are in Madras a new
room added to the office block ; the hospital assistant's quarters and the nurses'
day-room in the female hospital enclosure. In Vizagapatam a cook-room on the
standard plan for jails was completed by the Public Works Department, but had
not been handed over at the end of the year.
(b) The following works are in progress:—In Madras, a new block in the
criminal enclosure; a ward for European males in the hospital enclosure; the
extension of the general kitchen, and the isolation section. In Calicut, the office
building is in course of construction.
(3) Repairs executed.—The usual annual repairs such as lime-washing, tarring,
shifting and replacing tiles, &c, wore carried out in all three asylums. In Vizaga-
patam the repairs to the main femalo ward were completed. In Calicut wooden
screens were fitted to all the the cells ; and 4 open cooking-sheds (not in use) were
converted into female bath-room, lamp-room, gardener's store-room, and fowl-house.

(a) The sale of manufactured goods was less than in the previous year owing
to the return to original sale prices as contrasted with the reduced rates of 1897.
(b) The increase under this item was almost wholly due to the laudable
efforts made at the Madras Asylum for the extended sale of lucerne; it would have
been greater but for the fact that new lucerne seed had to be purchased after the
heavy monsoon rains.
(c) The value of clothing supplied to the asylums was increased owing to the
severe monsoon and the necessary protective measures.
(d) In Madras the asylum kitchen was supplied with vegetables for almost
the whole year. In Vizagapatam a large crop of cumboo was grown in the asylum
compound for use of the inmates. In Calicut gardening realised less than in 1897
owing to certain outstandings at the end of the year.
(e) This has fallen owing to less demand for and sale of manufactured goods.
(v) Booh adjustments.—The increase under this item is due to the outlay by
the Public Works Department on new constructions at the Madras Asylum.
(vi) Miscellaneous receipts.—The details of this item are shown in the sub-
joined statement:—•
