INCREASE OF INSANITY.

Some very startling and suggestive facts set
forth by Dr. X. L. Parsons, Medical Superintendent of
the New York City Lunatic Asylum, in his recent
port II would appear that insanity among women is
increasing fearful rate Tho ATS patients admitted
TO the institution last year were all women and the
entire uuub-r Of patients under reetnsnt tho LIST
OF January last 1850. Of whom only ten were
males During tho past ton the Doctor says the
annual increase in the number OF female patients ad-
mitted to the institution under his has amounted
tho average to moro than ten per
of the number under treatment mt the bcgIu-
ning of each year. Tho number OF female patients at
the asylum on the LIST OF January, 1867, was SIG.
Year by year 1t Increased until 1873, when reached
9S5 The following year there l,O49 female
PATIENTS aud the number Is gradually and steadily
rolling toward second thousand, which will be
reached ut the present ratio Vi Increase la 1884, The
Doctor argues that these facts ought he
fully studied by the authorizes, VINO should make
proper provision for the anticipated increase. Tho
social condition OF :hc women the CITY Asylum
offers an interesting study. Forty-thre are farmers
daughters; 81, laborcrs wives; 20. domcstcs labor
ers daughters, 49, merchants daughters, only the
smallest class Only OF these female patients
were blondes; 157 had brown hair and 10 had gray
