CARE OF TILE INSANE.

DIR. MACDoNALD's TESTIMONY ABOUT THE AsfLCMs
on BLACKwEITs AND WARDS ISLANDS.
At Yesterdays session of the COroners jury in the
inquest in the case OF Maria Ottmer, who was kllied
by another insane patient in the BlackwelFS island
Lunatic Asylum DR.. Macdonald, temporary Super
intendent. was examined The Doctor said that he
had been put in charge in November to correct
abuses that had crept into the management OF inc
asylum. Besides his Office as Medical Superntend-
ent of the Backwelps Island and the Wards Island
Asyums he holds the position of Professor of Medi-
cal Jurisprudence and Insanity in the University OF
the City of New-Yorl. Since he took charge all the
male patients on Blackwels Island have been
transferred to Wards and .RandalPs Islands and
provided with temporary quarters there to relieve
the over-crowding. The buildings on Wards Island
are not fit for the use thew put to. Eight hum
dred patients are packed into building that
should hold only 900.
The Doctor described the routine OF receiving pa
tients and assigning them TO the wards Ill tnls
work the physician is guided by the symptoms OF
insanity exhibited by the newcomer There are
six assistant physicians, each having charge Oh
about 200 patients. Last year fifty patients were
DISCHARGED cured, 100 as improved ana l4V
died. About so per cent of the patients received
suffer from the effects of alcohol but the pTnclpal
cause of all mental disease is found IN hereditary
pTedsposition. The average number OF patients re-
quiring restraint is twenty-five; The )acket, tne
belt the wrstlets and the mutf are the means IN
use. The &" crib has been used, but is not now.
There is about one attendant to twelve patients.
They receive from SIS to 500 a month, and seldom
remain long. They are appointed by the CommiS-
soners and have usually no previous experience.
The diet at the asylum is tea and coffee, with mix
and sugar bread and butter and mush for break
fast meat five days the week. fish on the others,
potatoes and assorted vegetables, and two DAYS III
the week, pudding soup about every other day Tor
dinner; tea milk and sugar, bread ana Dutter'
cheese or dried apples for supper.
The County ASYLUM on Wards Island must admit
all applicants whether there Is room or not. When
the witness took charge, there was only one night
nurse in the whole asylum on BlackwelPs Island
now there is one in each ward In three years there
have been three deaths from violence but no sui
cides About two reports are made each day oil IN
iures received by patients.
On Blackwells Island assaults are most numerous
on account of the greater Overcrowdlng, though
that has been greatly relieved All the patients
sleep now in BEDS none on the floor. About one
new patient day is the average of admissions.
want of system prevailed when witness took charge,
and lack of discipline. Oyercrowded as the asylum
still is the patients cannot be classified as they
should be. m
The inquest was adjourned till next Monday
when the Commissioners of Charities and COrreC-
ton will be put on the stand.
