REPORT 01 T10 PHYSICIAN OF 819E 19000E 00 BEFOGS. Daring the past year there has been many ohengeo among the inmates and altogether there have been 107 enrolled. Among the new ones is no idiot, two con• eumptivee, one of which died. I made 74 visite during year. There have been two epidemics of la grippe, one prevail- ing at present, with which 68 have been 0r are effected. During July, Aug. and September a severe form of dysentery went through House, nearly all being at- tacked with more or less severity, but by diligent search and vigilance the cense oonld not be discovered, Extra sanitary precautions were adopted and it is slowly disappearing, but not without loss. The accommodation ie becoming less and lase and those who are compelled to sleep in the basement are certainly hard to be kept warm and comfortable though the weather has been most favorable, besides owing to so many cases neceseitatiog partial isolation, crowds other roome. There were 13 deaths in the past year. The average age of 12 of the deceased was 77, one having reached 101.. One in• mate was sent to jail as a dangerous lunatic. Some remedy must be f000d in the very near future, partionlarly so if no restrictions are to be made as to who shall be admitted, for reoent infect- ions Oa8ee compel them to be separated from the rest and thereby lessen the space for the remainder. 3.
