MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
To The Senate and House Of Representatives. :
GENTLEMEN II have this day approved
senate Bill No l3l, mn act abOlshinR the
State Hos pital NJ Natchez and Vicksburg.
This bill provides for transferring the
chronic insane who have been cared for in
those Institutions TO the State Lunatic
Asylum.
This accession OF chronic cases will crowd
to overfiowing the Asylum, and the State
VIII be able to afford no better facilities for
the treatment of new acute cases than were
presented before the two new wings were
completed. The object for which the new
wings for the Asylum were constructed was
10 provide for the treatment of fresh cases
before the disease had fastened upon the VIC
tim, and destroyed all hope OF cure. 1t Is
very desirable that this class of patients
should have prompt treatment. 1t Is GER
talnly not Use charity which Is withheld
from the unfortunate lunatic, until the mall
ady has been established. and beyond the
reach of skilled treatment to control. That
the state may not be placed In the attitude |
of holding out deluSiVe promises of relief to
the afflicted people who are so justly entitled !
to her charity and tender care, urge upon
you the recommendation contained in my !
annual message that immediate provision |
be made for the establishment OF Branch |
Lunatic Asylum. / also recommend that /
temporary provision be made for the sick, |
idiotic and blind in the hospitals abolished, |
until such time as the cities of Natchez and |
VGcksburg can make suitable provision for |
them.
