"lum," aud to act Commissioners TO receive sub

lum for the poor and destitute inebriae, where his
physical and moral condition will be alike the OF
the physician and the phanthropist, and where his
labor may be rendered productive and Of service to
his family.
With the Asylum there will be connected work.
shops in which each patient, as his condition
will permit, will be employed-thus making the Asy-
lum self supporting institutions
Ii will be seen that the community will thus be re-
lieved of the burden of maintaining inebrates in
aims houses and prisons who will be separated from the
society of those ncsrcersted for public crimes, and
placed where their inebriety will be treated as
disease and where no efforts will be wanting to pro-
duce in them a reformation and where an income from
their labor will be secured to their families who other
wise would be left to penury and suffering.
To carry out successfully the great aim of the nst
tuition ESQ 600 must be aisod-ths being the amount
of capital stock required by the charter This amount
