The Community Of Five Hundred.
1t would be useless to attempt to describe in a
single paper all that there is Of interest about
this immense establishment, with it's eccentric
community of five hundred people. Not the
least interesting features of the place are the
perfect arrangements for cooking, ventlating,
and heating; the admirably ordered workshops.
stables, laundries &c, &c. The bakeries the
kitchens, and the store rooms are certainly mo-
dels Of their kind. DIR. Nichols holds that good,
wholesome food, well digested, Ia one Of the best
medicines for the insane, hence the care
given to the quality OF the food md its prepare
ton. .,-..,.... r..L-.
The laundry Is an institution worth special
visit in its completeness and the ingenious nature
war, and when the asylum undertook the pat
riOtic work OF caring for a large number of our
sick soldiers, as well as the insane OF the army,
something like thirty thousand garments per
week were cleansed here.
The Mode Of Treatment.
The Government Hospital excludes no form
of insanity, nor h any distinction made between
acute and chronic cases, so far rs their general
care and treatment are concerned The doabt-
full policy of building large receptacles for the
chronic, incurable cases has never been enter
tanned here. t..'t i'''
