unhealthy owing to the high inundation of the river Indus. The causes of mor-
tality were debility 4, pneumonia and diarrhœa 3 each, remittent fever and
epilepsy 2 each and cirrhosis of the liver and anœmia 1 each. Of the 16
deaths 9 occurred in the months of January and February 1893. The ratio of
deaths per mille was 114.3 compared to 167.7 of the preceding year.
Statement No. IX is the cash account of the asylums for the year under
report. The total income amounted to Rs. 1,38,394-7-2. Of this, Rs. 1,07,257-9-1
were received from the treasury, Rs.14,023-3-6 from paying patients, Rs. 8,869-13-3
from the manufacturing department, Rs. 8,218-6-6 were " book receipts " on
account of Europe medicines, forms and stationery and work done by the Public
Works Department, and Rs. 25-6-10 were miscellaneous receipts. The total
expenditure was the same as the income. The cost of establishment was
Rs. 45,929-10-3 as compared with Rs. 44,073-4-4 in 1892, the increase being due
to the payment of the exchange compensation allowance to the Superintendent
of the Colába Lunatic Asylum, being a Surgeon-Major, throughout the year.
Rs. 49,849-10-4 were expended on diets, or Rs. 1,596-5-9 less than in the
previous year, notwithstanding the fact that the diet scale sanctioned for the
Sir Cowasji Jehangir Asylum at Hyderabad in Government Resolution No. 2077,
dated 10th June 1891, General Department, which is now in use, costs more
than the former scale. Clothing and bedding cost Rs. 5,378-14-3, the increase
of Rs. 1,360-7-4 over the previous year being attributed to the increased number
of European and paying patients in the Colába Lunatic Asylum and to the extra
supply of clothing to the lunatics in the Sir Cowasji Jehangir Lunatic Asylum
at Hyderabad as per Government Resolution No. 317, dated 30th January 1893,
General Department.
There is an increase of Rs. 155-6-6 in the cost of medicines while contin-
--nces show a decrease of Rs. 1,136-5-2 over the preceding year. The follow-
ing is the abstract of cash account required by the Government of India :—
