73 Hindus, 121 Muslims, 4 Europeans and Anglo-Indians, 6 Indian
christians and 3 others) and 220 were discharged and 54 deaths
incurred leaving 1,202 patients in the Hospital at the close of the year.
The maximum number of patients in the Hospital on any one night was
218(947 men and 271 women). Of 307 patients admitted to the
Hospital 7 8 were admitted for observation, 75 were admitted as "certifi-

141, There was no outbreak of any epidemic, no suicide, no escape or
health by violence.
2. Cardiaozol, ammonium
chloride and Sulphosine treatment
were continued as in previous years with encouraging results. During
the year under report the mass treatment for round worms was given as
fairly large number of the population was infected with these worms
due to generally unclean habits of mental patients. In about 80 of the
patients oral hygiene was not up to standard owing to dental caries
treatment for which was given in the outdoor department of the Punjab,
Dental Hospital through the kindness of Dr. Marshall Day.

Proceedings of the Punjab Government in the Medical Depart-

READ—
The Report of the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, on the
working of the Punjab Mental Hospital, Lahore, during the year 1943.
REMARKS—One thousand five hundred and fifty-one patients
underwent treatment in the hospital during 1943, an increase of 75
on 1942. The daily average number of patients was 1,226 an increase
of 33. There were no cases of infectious disease during 1943, no
suicides and no escapes. There was one death by violence. The
percentage of deaths due to ordinary causes was 5.7 as against 4.5
in 1942. Statement VI shows that 111 patients were discharged
during the year as recovered.
2. The total cost of the institution during 1943 was Rs. 5,83,000,
an increase of Rs. 1,94,000 on the preceding year due to the general
rise in prices. (The cost of maintenance per patient has risen during
the last three years from Rs. 277 to Rs. 476). Income on the other
hand (receipts from local bodies, paying patients, garden produce
and the proceeds of the patients manufactures) was Rs. 2,88,000.
The net cost of the institution during
1913 was, therefore,
Rs. 2,95,000.
3. It is stated in the report that more persons might enter the
institution as voluntary boarders if the charges for this class could
be reduced. The present charges no more than covered the cost of
such patients. The possibility of allowing some reduction where the
patient cannot pay the full charges will, however, be considered.
4. Government take this opportunity to acknowledge the in-
terest in the patients welfare shown by the members of the board of
visitors.
ORDER—Ordered that a copy of the report and the review be
forwarded to the Government of India, Home Department, for
information, also that the review be published in the Punjab
Gazette.
Ordered also that a copy of the review be forwarded to the
Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, for information.
By order of the Governor of the Punjab
E. A. R. EUSTACE,
Secretary to Government, Punjab,
Medical and Local Government Departments
