, soothers,
of humane and natural treatment and of
withstanding the increasing proportion of
cures, the number of insane patients in the,
Province and their proportion to the total
population are on the inoreaee.
111E AVERAGE DAITY NUMBER
of insane patients residing in Provincial
institutions has increased from 3,674 in
1893 to 3,809 during 1894, or an increase of
a 135 patients for the past year. The num.
bac of lunatics and idiots remaining in
residence at the close of the year shows an
increase of 166 when demented with the
previous year, and during the pact five
ears 916, or at the rate of 183 1-5 patients
per annum have been added to the asylum
population.
It is true that during the pest three
years there has been a falling off in the
yearly admissions, the total admitted dam
in the year ending September 30, 1894,
being 781, 39 less than during the previous
year. Bub the inspector attributes this to
the limited accommodation in certain die•

census the insane and idiotic population of
Ontario in 1591 was 6,565, or Dna to every
361 inhabitants. This number no doubt
included a great many harmless patients
who will never be treated in any asylum.
In this respect Ontario compares favorably
with other countries, France with 1 to
every 400 and Germany: with 1 to every
417 of the population being the only conn•

atbe a time when soientifio treatment would
be most effective. The lesson of the retort
is that, as in other dieeasso, prevention is
better than cure. And the necessarily brlef
reports transmited by the eminent special-
fate at the head of the Provincial inatiiu-
tions °entain much valuable advice and
many suggestions whiph should receive a
wider measure of attention from the public.
Hereditary predisposition has been traced
in eo many oases of insanity that repree•
sive laws regarding the marriage of those
afflicted withsuch an inheritance have been
suggested. But while little or no good
could be effected by such measures much
can be aaoompliahed by the general diffusion
of knowledge. One lesion, culled from
many, is that the mental faculties are more'
apt to rust out than to wear out. The re•

\Villiam's agency had been rescinded by

there is no reasons given and no com-

To ordinary business men this circular
can hardly have appeared as libelous, since
it was manifestly necessary that the
company should notifyits clients that Lord

William was no longer connoted with the
concern, and the circular a000mplished this

jury, however, gave a verdict in his favor,
