The number treated in 1903 and 1904 was the same while in 1905 it rose
by 268. This, however, includes the 205 patients transferred from
Lucknow, so the correct figure should be 63. The number recovered in
1905 was 19 less than in 1903, but 10 more than in 1904. The number
discharged as not improved in 1905 is stated as 222. If from this is
excluded the 205 patients sent to Agra the number will be 17 as
compared with 15 in 1904 and 11 in 1903. The deaths also amounted to
105 in 1905 against 50 in 1904 and 67 in 1903.
The largest number of patients during the three years was under the
head Mania—other forms, then dementia—other forms and melancholia—
other forms. The 2 cases of general paralysis of the brain in 1903 were
in the Bareilly asylum, while the 2 in 1905 were in the Agra asylum.
The Agra cases were both Europeans. Of the 105 deaths in 1905, 41
were at Benares and 34 at Agra.
