The Care of the Insane

The increase of insanity throughout
the entire country keeps more than
apace with the advance in population,
apd therefore surrounds the question of
the care of our insane with an enhanced
degree of interest. 1t is only compar-
atively few years when MENDOZA Hospi-
tai was sufficiently ample for the accom-
mediation of the insane of the whole
state. Now, however, point is reached
when not only is Mendoza taxed to its
full capacity and the Northern Hospital
is filled with patients, but bill has been
introduced into the legislature by Senator
Warner for the erection o. a new asylum
to meet the positive requirements OF ad-
ditional quarters for the Wisconsin insane.
A visit TO the Northern Hospital is con.
yincing that the new uperintendent, DR..
r. NJ. Wigginton, is supplementing in
that institution the good work he per-
formed for the state and those under his
care while at Mendoza, Being situated
within the jurisdiction of the Northern
Hospital this city and Jefferson county
feel more than an ordinary interest In all
that relates to its management. AT this
this time the Northern Hospital contains
% Jefferson county patients, s of whom
are from this city The institution has
on the average $40 patients and an aver
age of 115 employees. To look after the
details of an institution of this size re-
quires no small amount of energy and
foresight. but DR.. Wigginton and his as
sistants, Drs. H. A. Craig and J. F. Penn
Der, seem fully equal to the task, ex-
ercisihg an able, careful and faithful
supervision Of their most important
charge.
