From
SURGEON-GENERAL W. McCONAGHY, M.D., I.M.S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
General Department, Bombay.
Bombay, 30th April 1904.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward, for the information of Government, the
Annual Report on the Lunatic Asylums of the Bombay Presidency for the
year 1903, prepared in accordance with the Resolution of the Government of
India, Home Department (Medical), No. 21—31, dated 12th January 1904,
forwarded with this Government Resolution No. 518, dated 2nd February 1904,
General Department.
2. The health of the inmates during the year under review and the two
previous years has remained good, and considering the average population of
the Asylums, there has been a marked decrease in the amount of sickness. The
percentage of daily average sick to the daily average strength was 4.3, as com-
pared with 4.7 in 1902 and 5.3 in 1901. The total number of insanes treated
in the Asylum hospitals for diseases other than those of insanity was 514 against
487 and 387 in 1902 and 1901 respectively, the chief causes of admissions being
malarial fever, dysentery, diarrhœa, phthisis, epilepsy, debility and anæmia.
The cases of fever treated numbered 249 against 272 in 1902 and 84 in
1901. Phthisis caused 21 admissions with 15 deaths as compared with 17 cases
and 8 deaths in 1902 and 21 cases and 14 deaths in 1901. Bright's diseases
accounted for 5 cases and 3 deaths in each of the years 1902 and 1901, whereas
in the year 1903 there were only 2 admissions which proved fatal. There
were 16 cases of cholera treated, at Hyderabad and 1 at Naupáda during the
year 1902. The Superintendents of the Hyderabad and Naupáda Asylums were
unable to trace the origin of the outbreak of cholera. There was a slight
reduction in the cases of diarrhœa treated, but a large increase in those of
dysentery and debility.
There were 66 deaths from these complaints as compared with 73 in 1902
and 77 in 1901, whereas in the year 1900 they numbered 139, or nearly double
the mean of the three years 1901—1903.
3. Among the Europeans at Colaba there were 2 deaths, one from debility
and another from cirrhosis of the liver and paralysis. The 4 deaths among
natives were due to cerebral hæmorrhage, remittent fever, tubercle of lungs
and pernicious anæmia.
At the Poona Asylum the causes of the 16 deaths were as follows:—
tubercular phthisis 4 ; dysentery and debility 2 each; leprosy, apoplexy, para-
plegia, epilepsy, heart disease (fatty), acute bronchitis, diarrhœa and Bright's
disease 1 each.
At Dhárwár the 3 deaths resulted from tubercle of lungs, epilepsy and
Bright's disease.
At the Ahmedabad Lunatic Asylum there were 4 deaths, viz., 2 from
dysentery, and 1 each from plague and valvular disease of the heart.
At Hyderabad, dysentery caused 4 deaths, debility 2 and septicæmia
1—in all 7.

the Public Works Department.
5. The water-supply of all the Asylums was reported to be good and ample
for all ordinary purposes, with the exception of the Colába Asylum in Bombay,
where, the Superintendent says, the supply is occasionally rather limited. Steps
are being taken to have this remedied.

in 1902 and Rs. 1,62,157-12-11 in 1901. There was an increase in the cost of
establishment over the preceding two years, owing to the entertainment of addi-
tional servants at different asylums during the year 1903. Rupees 58,207-1-0 were
expended on diets, as compared with Rs. 56,297-2-7 in 1902 and Rs. 60,942-9-4

respectively over that of 1901.
If the sums of Rs. 15,506-2-2 received from paying patients, Rs.
1,639-0-8 on account of the sale of manufactured goods to the public, etc.,
Rs. 1,749-11-7 made over to the Asylums for asylum purposes, and Rs. 749-1-8
received from miscellaneous sources—total Rs. 19,644-0-1—be deducted from
the amounts received from the treasury together with that adjusted to Govern-
ment as " book charges," the net cost would be Rs. 1,20,926-3-5 as compared
with Rs. 1,18,919-1-9 in 1902 and Rs. 1,14,162-4-5 in 1901. The net cost per
head of daily average strength was Rs. 151-11-8 against Rs. 146-11-0 in 1902
