The Wisconsin State hospital for the In,

age.
Experience has established the fact that
cases of insanity which may be easily cured
if proper steps are taken in their early stages
become incurable if allowed to remain any
length Of time without proper treatment. 1t
is greatly for the interests of the State there
fore, that all cases of this nature should re-
ceive prompt attention, and thereby avoid !
the necessity Of their becoming perma
nent charge upon the State Humanity al
so, demands that the unfortunate class of
persons afflicted with insanity should be
cared for, and if possible re tored to health,
happiness and usefulness. At times of
great mental excitement like the present,
cases Of this nature most frequently occur
An institution for their treatment is more
important, therefore, during our present ma
tional troubles than IN times of peace, lay
before you the interesting reports of the off
GERS In charge Of this institution. 1t will
be a source Of much qualification to all, to
learn from them that the last years labors,
under the present efficient superintendent,
have greatly improved its condition and add
ed much to its usefulness.
Fifty per cent Of the cases received du-
ring the last year have been cured The
If I'll,
stitntions so far as can learn, is 43. 05 per
cent.
The expenses Of the Institution nave also
been reduced These results have been
brought about, doubtless, in measure by
the employment Of the inmates, SO far as
could he properly done in necessary labor
about the hospital aud its grounds. Say
ing nothing Of the economy of giving en-
ployment to tie insane. there is no cues
ton that employment of some kind, as well
as amusement are quite as necessary agents
in restoring them to health and reason as
the drugs Of the physician. believe that
1t Is a well established fact that over fifty
per cent, OF the cases Of insanity that occur
In our country, are the result Of inebrety
lnasmuch as the general Government sane
tions the traffic i'll spirtuous liquors, and is
"eli'll5 large revenues from IL, would Sug-
gest the pr0priety of asking Congress to-
aid IN caring for this class Of cases, by APP
proprlatng certain percentage OF the in
come derived from this trafllc to the state
ior the support OF Lun@ttc or lnebnate asy
l9ms. IL would seem to me to be no more
Than justice that the general Government
should ana IN bearing burden 1t assists and
profits by creating, and that the unfortu
nate victim IF Mt ce, should h., IN,
the enjoyment OF the revenue his folly has
so largely aided in procuring.
