houses for the insane. They perform
the philanthropic work of keeping
their afflicted patients comfortable
and neglect the essential features of
cure. Comfort and even luxury is
secured at great expenditure, but there
is little evidence offered of scientific
enquiry into diseased conditions of the
brain. All asylums are provided with
plentiful means of recreation, but
none of them are provided with hos-
pitals for the treatment of recent and
scute cases. The duties of the medical
superintendent are far too multifarious
and the medical portion of his work
is rendered subordinate to other claims,

kospitals. The entire time ' and
eaergy of the medical superintendent
shduld be reserved for his professional
duties, and the staff ample and experi-
encied. Every case demands and
should obtain separate individual -
treatment. The result of these im-
provements would be a rapid increase
in the number of recoveries, the grad-
