REMARKS.
This was one of the only two cases which occurred in the asylum, though
cholera was raging up to the very gates at the time. Dr. Allen died
about six days before this man.
About a year after his admission, began to fall away, and notwithstand-
ing that he got cod liver oil and other comforts in the way of food, &c.,
he died on 26th January 1870, of phthisis, as far as I can make out
from the register.
1st.—Feeble on admission to asylum about end of 1869. He became
paralysed on right side, and gradually grew more and more debi-
litated till death ensued.
2nd.—Subject to epileptic fits. Admitted in a wretched state, found
wandering about by police. Died of " paralysis of insane" with
diarrhœa.
Was attacked with paralysis last May, and was in hospital for the last
four months before his death.
1st.—Subject to constant epileptic fits, from one of which he never
rallied.
2nd.—Subject to constant epileptic fits, became jaundiced before death.
1st.—Was in hospital from time of his admission; very weakly.
2nd.—Had a complication of diseases. Admitted in a very weak state.
3rd.—Sent to hospital on admission, and in a very weak state.
1st—Subject to rheumatism, an elderly woman; anasarca, before death.
2nd.—Very silent and melancholy from the time of his admission; was
taking port wine and milk for some time before his death.
3rd.—Addicted to gunja and eating mud ; admitted in bad health.
4 th.—Admitted covered with syphilitic sores. This was a hopeless case
from the beginnintg.
5th.—Badly affected with secondary syphilis; never well from time of
his admission.
Died of disease of liver; was a cooly at Mauritius for many years.
Had been in asylum for treatment before. Died of jaundice; was in
hospital, suffering from tape-worm for some time before his death.
