REPORT OF MEDICAL SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31ST, 1916. Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale, B.C., January 31st, 1917. The Honourable the Provincial Secretary, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—As Acting Medical Superintendent of the Mental Hospitals of this Province, I have the honour to submit to you the Forty-fifth Annual Report, ending December 31st, 1916. This embodies the reports of the Provincial Hospital at New Westminster and the Mental Hospital and Colony Farm at Essondale, and in it will be found the usual statistical and financial tables showing the exact movement of the Hospitals' population, an exact accounting of the various moneys received and disbursed during the year, and statements from the heads of the various departments. Before proceeding further, sir, permit me to again, this year, call attention and pay just tribute to the large number who have enlisted from our staff for overseas service. Six of whom have entered their names upon the roll of honour by paying the supreme sacrifice, and to the relatives of these gallant men I wish to express my sincere sympathy. To the others who are still with the colours I extend my best wishes and hope for a speedy and honourable termination of hostilities, so that they may again resume their duties which they so readily gave up to serve their King and country. With your permission, I am going to, in a sense, deviate from the stereotyped form that we have followed for a number of years, and will make some suggestions, based wholly upon my experience during nine years' service in these Hospitals. Our admissions during the year totalled 353; 233 being men and 120 women. This exceeds that of 1915 by twenty-one, and makes a total in residence at the end of December, 1916, of 1,205, showing a residential increase for the year of 115, and during the past nine years an increase of 780, or nearly 200 per cent. These figures are of such magnitude that they demand serious consideration on the part of the Government, so that every effort may be made to educate the people with the idea in view of lessening the percentage of admissions from the population in future years. To do this with any degree of success they must be made aware of the causes. The one which is paramount from an etiological standpoint is heredity, and of those admitted during 1916 we were able to obtain an heredity history from sixty-nine, or practically 20 per cent. This question is a delicate one, and mentioning it may savour of eugenics; nevertheless, it is infinitely better that the matter should be called in some manner to the attention of the coming generations than that they should continue in ignorance, to the detriment of the human race and the finances of the Province. With the exception of senile conditions, the other great cause is syphilis, which is now conceded to be the only factor entering into general paresis, and of which last year we admitted thirty-two cases, or 9 per cent, of our total admissions. Statistics show that only about 4 per cent, of syphilitics develop general paresis, and this means that we have a considerable number throughout the Province, many of whom, particularly through ignorance, and possiblv on account of no outward manifestations, neglect themselves and do not receive proper treatment. I personally feel that for the benefit of these cases, as well as for the protection of the public, they should be reported to the health authorities, the same as cases of smallpox or any other contagious or infectious disease. Figuring the cost of maintenance at $200 per capita per annum, and the average duration of hospital treatment in cases of paresis (which are invariably fatal) at three years, it will cost the Province over $20,000 to care for those paretics admitted during 1916. Every effort is being made to stamp out tuberculosis and to prevent epidemics of typhoid, but we are allowing to go practically unnoticed a condition which, directly and indirectly, is playing havoc with the physical and mental stamina of the present generation. There is also another class of cases, idiots and imbeciles, which go to make up a large percentage of the population of our Hospitals, and we now have in residence forty-three, twenty of whom are under fifteen years of age. Many of these cases, if they were segregated and trained along educational and mechanical lines, could be made more or less self-supporting, but to do this successfully it would be necessary to have a separate institution with special instructors. This cannot be done under the present system, and I would strongly recommend that a hospital for the care of the feeble-minded be constructed where this work could be carried on, as the ordinary psychopathic hospital must necessarily devote its attention to the acute and subacute cases that come under its care. During the past few years there have been called to my attention quite a number of cases of morphinism, cocainism, and chronic alcoholics, which cannot be successfully treated in the general hospitals, nor can they be legally committed to the mental hospitals under the present "Mental Hospitals Act." I would therefore respectfully suggest that an amendment be made to the present Act permitting voluntary admission for such cases, with a protective clause requiring the notification of your Department within twenty-four hours of their acceptance for treatment. Many of these cases are not only willing but are anxious to undergo institutional treatment, fully realizing that they have not the mental stamina to combat the habit which is slowly but surely making them derelicts and a menace and expense to the community in which they reside. Dentistry^. During the past year we have overcome a long-felt want by arranging for the regular care and attention of the patients' teeth. Since the appointment of Dr. F. P. Smith to this department he has devoted one day each week to the examination and treatment of all the new admittances, as well as care for the oral treatment of many of the patients older in residence. I personally feel very grateful to Dr. Smith for the deep interest he has taken in the patients, and commend him for establishing so thorough a system in this department. Appended is a detailed account which the doctor has submitted of the work accomplished at both institutions during the past five months. Table showing Dental Work done at both Institutions.

I 9 Laboratory. Unfortunately, for the greater part of the year, it has been impossible to keep this branch of the work up to our usual standard on account of Dr. Crease, our Bacteriologist, having to devote a great deal of his time to routine ward-work. This condition we hope to relieve so that he may be able to devote more attention to the Laboratory, but, nevertheless, he did 150 Wassermann blood-tests on new admissions, as well as numerous bacteriological and pathological examinations, urinalyses, and blood-counts. It is most essential that this branch of the work be attended, and you, sir, being a physician, will particularly appreciate the inestimable amount of valuable knowledge to be attained through this channel, particularly in cases of paresis. We hope during the present year to pick out a few of the most suitable paretics with the idea of trying the Swift-Ellis treatment on them. This has been reported as giving a fair amount of success in selected cases. Amusements and Occupation. It is oftentimes difficult to find just what line of treatment would be most beneficial in certain cases, and it is absolutely essential that occupation and amusement be a portion of this treatment. The fact that we have so much land at our disposal permits us during the summer months to find suitable employment amidst surroundings which cannot help but be beneficiall In the Westminster Hospital we have recreation-grounds which give the patients exceptiona. opportunities to amuse themselves in such games as tennis, bowls, cricket, etc., and we hope during the coming summer to have the same establishment at Essondale. It is in the winter months that we find it most difficult to get suitable amusements, but it has been fairly well overcome by the installation of kinematographs and the giving of shows weekly, which are highly appreciated by the patients. These, in conjunction with concerts at intervals throughout the winter, make a pleasant pastime and deviation from the usual surroundings, and no doubt are very beneficial to many cases. During the summer months we give weekly open-air concerts in the recreation-grounds on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Expenditures. The necessity for economical administration, particularly at this time, has been fully realized, and we have endeavoured in every way, without interfering with the efficiency or care of the patients, to minimize all expenditures, with the result that our gross per capita cost has been only 64.15 cents per diem. This not only includes amounts paid out by voucher, but also all products obtained from the farm-gardens and nursery, at prices based upon those had we to purchase same in the open market. The total expenditure was as follows: $259,114.15 paid out by voucher and a credit to the farm-garden and nursery of $12,636.43, making a total of $271,750.58; but we have collected on account of maintenance and remitted to the Treasury Department the sum of $40,025.65, thus making a net per capita cost to the Province of 54.39 cents per diem. Estimates. In submitting for your approval our estimated expenditure for the coming fiscal year of 1917-18, we have found it necessary, after having studied the markets and interviewed those who have been supplying the institutions during the past fiscal year, to add an increase in prices of approximately 30 per cent, on all foodstuffs, and from 35 to 50 per cent, on clothing, ■medical, and surgical supplies. I 10 Mental Hospitals Report. 1917 Estimating our population at a daily average of 1,275, it will require $167,210.15 for the Mental Hospital at Essondale, and $130,838.76 for the Provincial Hospital at New Westminster ; these amounts cover maintenance and salaries. For the usual upkeep, which comes under the head of general repairs, we shall require for the two institutions respectively $8,200 and $9,000. For the maintenance of Colony Farm and the Wilson Ranch we shall require $38,600, all of which should be returned to the Government either by produce or milk furnished to the Hospitals, or sale of stock. In addition, we shall require for general repairs the sum of $4,000. For the construction of a laundry building, so that we may have at our disposal in the main building another ward which will accommodate fifty beds, I have estimated an expenditure of $3,800. This would only be for the purchase of supplies, as we propose to construct the building with our own labour; the building to be 100 x 45 feet, one story, double-walled, using concrete blocks with 2-inch air-space. New Buildings. The Hospital building at Essondale, which is one unit of a proposed series, was completed and first occupied in April, 1913. It is now carrying a greater number of patients than its originally intended capacity, and it will be necessary to make some arrangement for the future increase of population. The present building is specially constructed for the care of chronic cases only, and is not at all adapted for the treatment of acute and subacute conditions. I would therefore suggest that steps be taken for the erection of the proposed acute building, with a capacity of 150 beds. We could then admit all male cases at Essondale and devote the New Westminster institution to the care of female cases. This would in many ways minimize the cost of maintenance and do away with the constant transference of male patients to and from Essondale. Regarding the erection of a laundry, which I have mentioned in our estimates, I might state that it is the intention to locate and construct one, so that in future, should it be necessary to enlarge the building, it can be done without spoiling its appearance or efficiency. Colony Farm. Since its inception the farm has been carried altogether under a separate vote. This, I believe, is not the most satisfactory way, as it is a very necessary part of the institution, not only from a standpoint of supplying proper milk and vegetables, but it places us in a position whereby we can find outdoor occupation for the patients, which in mental cases is an essential part of the treatment, and I would suggest that the whole vote for maintenance of the farm be incorporated with that of the Mental Hospital, but segregate the accounts on our books. This, I believe, would simplify matters considerably and assist in obtaining greater efficiency in many ways. The farm during the past year has been successful in a sense, but has not quite offset the expenditure in a direct way. It has supplied to the two institutions milk, butter, vegetables, and horse-labour in grading operations on Hospital grounds to the value of $23,462.09, and in addition to this there has been $10,764.11 cash remitted to the Provincial Treasury from sale of stock. This is less than in former years owing to the fact that we are increasing our milking herd to 100 head, and have therefore not disposed of any females. Our dairy herd shows an increase over that of 1915 by twenty-eight head, sixteen of which are females, and this will in itself more than offset the difference between the revenue and expenditure. Our milking cows have averaged for the year 14,013 ft. of milk per head, and this is 50 per cent, higher than the average for the dairy herds owned by the mental hospitals throughout Ontario, thus going to show that the climatic conditions of the Coast are especially well adapted for dairying purposes. •e 00 SZi o-Vci : 7 Geo. 5 Mental Hospitals Report. I 11 Our horses show an increase over the beginning of the year by five head, in addition to five sold. The present market, especially for heavy horses, shows a good demand, and I believe that we shall be able during the coming summer to dispose of some to good advantage. Under the statistics will be found an itemized report of crop and milk production. The cost as related to the various departments of production. Acknowledgments. Before closing my report I wish to extend to the staff in general my most sincere appreciation of the able assistance that has been given me in every department during the past year, for it is only by co-ordinated action that efficiency can be maintained. I wish particularly to thank my colleagues Dr. H. C. Steeves and Dr. A. L. Crease, Assistant Medical Superintendents at New Westminster and Essondale respectively, for the indefatigable interest that they have taken in the welfare of the patients and the Institutions in general. In conclusion, Sir, permit me to thank you for the able assistance that you have so readily given us during your regime as Provincial Secretary in endeavouring to alleviate the condition of those who are mentally afflicted, and who must necessarily undergo treatment in these Hospitals which come under the administration of your Department. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. G. McKAY, Acting Medical Superintendent. I 12 Mental Hospitals Repor L\\ 1917 Table A.
