The Superintendent of the Madras Asylum does not return any cases under
the heading ' dirty ' ; for the reason that he includes them under violent, noisy and
destructive, or other classes.
He will be directed, in future, to carry out the classification as ordered years
ago, and at least include those whose dirty habits require them to be isolated.
(4) Results of treatment.—Of the 103 patients discharged, 61 were cured
and 42 were discharged otherwise; of the latter, 24 were handed over to their
friends (18 in improved condition), 11 were transferred to England, 6 were put on
the civil list of patients, and 1 escaped from the Madras Asylum, but was brought
back after the opening of the current year.
In all three asylums, the treatment consisted of careful attention to general
hygiene, systematic occupation, and regular recreation. Of drugs, bromides and
the hyoscyamus principles afforded much relief. No case of clinical interest has
been reported during the year.
(5) Escapes.—Two patients escaped from the Madras and 2 from the Calicut
Asylum, all the 4 were recaptured, the last 1 after the beginning of 1898. The
warders concerned were severely punished.

(v) Booh adjustments.—The decrease of Rs. 4,168-9-4 under this item is due
to the less amount spent on works executed by the Public Works Department in
the asylum at Madras.
(vi) Miscellaneous receipts.—The increase of Rs. 52-0-6 under this heading
is due to better sale-proceeds of condemned stores, and to large recoveries in fines
from the contractor of the Madras Asylum. The details of this item are shown

The expenditure has fallen under all heads except ' contingencies*; this points
to careful management. The increase of expenditure under the item noted is
accounted for by the fact that under new arrangements, this includes money
spent on (a) Petty repairs to buildings; (b) Lime-washing of asylum buildings;
(c) Amusements for the insanes; (d) Cost of advertisements; and (e) Miscel-
laneous charges.

(i) Establishment.—The increase in Vizagapatam Asylum was due to the
higher rate of pay on promotion and the personal allowance drawn by the Hospital
Assistant throughout the year instead of for a portion only as in 1896.
(ii) Diet.—The increase under this item in Vizagapatam Asylum was due to
high prices owing to the famine.
(iii) Clothing and bedding.—The expenditure in Calicut Asylum was increased
by Us. 40-13-4, owing to the purchase of new cumblies after the epidemic of cholera.
(iv) Medicines.—The cost of medicines was considerably reduced on the whole.
The slight increase in Vizagapatam arose from extra outlay for stock appliances.
(v) Contingencies.—Expenditure under this bead was increased in Madras and
Calicut Asylums, where petty repairs to buildings were extensively carried out during
the year.
(vi) Hospital necessaries and miscellanies.—The cost of this item was reduced
in all three asylums.
IT. Paying Patients—Madras.—The total number of paying patients was 69
ainst 53 in the previous year. The total amount realized was Rs. 10,638-14-11,—
an increase of Rs. 676-13-7 over the collections of 1896.
Vhagapatam.—Nine patients were treated in all, and the stoppagos recovered
for them amounted to Rs. 647-0^7, against Rs. 338-32-1 in the previous year. A
patient in this asylum who had, for many years, been classed as a pauper, was recog-
nised by a native gentleman visiting the asylum as a man who formerly owned land
in the Kistna district. Enquiries elicited the fact that he still has property; and
the Collector of the Kistna district has undertaken to pay the cost of his mainte-
nance annually during the period of his stay in the institution.

ANN DAL REPORT ON LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
Calicut—There were 3 paying patients with a daily average strength of
1/76 as contrasted with 2*16 in the previous year. The total receipts on their
account amounted to Rs. 213-4-11, or less by Ks. 37-12-0 than the recoveries in
1896, the fall being due to the decrease in the average number.
HI. Manufactures.—Statement XL in the appendix gives details of the

well, but the toties are a constant source of trouble.
Calicut Asylum.—First-class Hospital Assistant Mahomed Ibrahim, No. 307,
was in subordinate charge of the asylum up to the 8th May 1897, and was succeeded
by first-class Hospital Assistant CD. Sigamoney Pillai, No. 136, who in turn was
relieved on the afternoon of the 27th November by second-class Hospital Assistant
A. Gopalan, No. 422. The last-named, being a West Coast man, appears to he
more in touch with the inmates of the asylum than his predecessors ; the Superin-
tendent speaks in flattering terms of the subordinate, and hopes his next report
will substantiate his good opinion.
(b) Hospital.—In the Madras Asylum, Civil Apothecary E. T. Jones was
dismissed the service on the 5th July 1897 for gross irregularities. He was suc-
ceeded by Civil Apothecary B. D'Prazer, who continued in sub-charge until 15th
September, on which date he was relieved by Civil Apothecary W. J. Cooper. Mr.
D'Prazer did his work carefully, and seemed to take great pains and interest in
dealing with the sick. Mr. Cooper performed his duties fairly well. Second-class
Hospital Assistant Ramunni Menon, No. 394, worked throughout the year. He
has improved considerably, and has performed his duties satisfactorily.
There are no special hospital establishments in the Vizagapatam and Calicut
Asylums.
The serious want of a trained staff of male and female hospital attendants
distinct from the general staff is a matter for urgent action, as soon as the present
financial difficulties are past.
(3) Notes on Visitors' Reports.—The Madras Asylum was visited during
the year once by His Excellency the Governor, once by the Inspector-General of
Prisons, and once by me.
The Yizagayatam Asylum was visited once by me, and once by the Inspector-
General of Prisons ; and the Calicut Asylum was visited once by me, once by the
District Collector and Magistrate, and once by the Inspector-General of Prisons.
In addition, the asylums were visited by official visitors—monthly at Madras and
Viza^apatam, and seven times during the year at Calicut. The general tone of the
reports has been satisfactory.
(4) Inventory.—The inventory of the valuable stock of the three asylums
has been duly checked and maintained.
(5) Verification of Service Books.—The service books'of all the servants
of the three asylums have been verified up to the period under report.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
C. SIBTHORPE, C.B., F.E.C.P.T., Surgn.-Major-Genl.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Madras.
