All the patients that are not Frustrated by
their insanity, Except those that cannot be
trusted, are allowed to work none are COM
PEELED; it must all be done freely. Those
that are allowed TO work deem it a privilege,
and some, that for good reasons, are not al
lowed to work, beg and tease to be allowed
to try Those that work are allowed few
extras by way of tobacco and tea. The men
work mostly on the farm; some are allowed
to go to the mountain for wood. The women
work in the laundry, ironing and sewing
rooms. This class of help is not profitable, for
it costs as much to look after them as the
work amounts to. 1t is called n part of the
treatment TO get them out doors and give
them exercise. The labor does as much
towards recovery as the medicine; it gets
their attention and takes their minds from
themselves; it gives them new ideas, also
fresh air and freedom to a certain extent The
confinement is the greatest complaint the pa
tients make. The work removes this cause
and among the working class good appetite,
good nights sleep and smiling face will
almost always be seen. Some have suggested
that the State be allowed pay for this work
that it should go towards the support of the
patient. On the same ground the State should
receive pay for the medicine, for the work is
q medicine and the best one we have.
