Work House, all the labor in doors and

claSS-perSOnS arrested and on short
sentences for drunkenness or disorder.
The asylum has on an average a hundred
servants of both sexes.
The officers of the asylum are few. rs
It's management is simple and systematic.

are permanently maintained there by
their deSpairing friends. Often the in
ebriate voluntarily seeks the refuge of
this quiet home, feeling the necessity of
an altered life, and glad to avail him
self of the advantages here provided.
The medical treatment is confined to
relieving the attacks of acute alcoholism,
which most patients are suffering at the
time of admission, and subsequently to
repairing the ravages of dissipation.
Delirium tremenS and convulsiOns are
familiar aspects of human life here; and
incipient deIiriIm tremenS.
Total abstinence is enforced, except in
eases where it is necessary TO bridge over
the debility, and then only in the form of
nutriment, as egg-nOgg, not one patient
in twenty needing the nourishment.
The printed reports show that in the
first four years there was about 600
paying boarders; in the first year, "a; in
the second, III; in the third, 165, and in
the fourth, 233. OF these 600, about

tendent kellogg, Eleventh Street and
Third avenue.
One-half of the building is used as an
asylum for disabled soldiers.
