port:
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Feb. 5, 1885.
To Hon. RoBERr w. DAVIS,
Speaker Of tie assembly:
SIR: Your Committee appointed especially to
investigate the condition and status Of the State
Asylum for INDECENT lunaiics have visited the
same, have thoroughly inspected the premises
and patients, have made diligent inquiry by the
examination OF witnesses into the mauagement
and conduct OF the institution, and make this.
euf report:
We found. upon visiting the Asylum, the
wards In cleanly condition, the bedding neat
and orderly, with sufficient covering; bat The
testimony taken by this committee tends to
prove that such Ii not always the case TSee

stone. 10ur committee is OF the opinion that
too much care cannot be taken to keep the
wards clesnly and the bedding in good sanitary
condition. The inmates of the institution should
receive every care and attention in this .iirec-
ton.
We found upon our first visit the diet of the
inmates rather poor. There was not . sufficient
variety Of food and the soup 700 thin Our sec-
ond visit discovered On improvement In the
quality Of the soup, but not in the variety of
food. We had no means of personally judeins
the quality of food furnished the sick. but The
evidence proves conclusively that the food fur
nished to the sick Of the institution 10 mot the
proper food and diet for them. Use evidences Of

Foreman, assistant physician Of the Asylum. W.
d. Tuoiville, 7. A. Morgan and Daniel McDon-
aId) Your committee think that this matter
should be remedied at the earliest possible mo-
ment and earnestly urge speedy reformation
in this matter Of proper diet for the sick upon
the broad basis Of common humanity.
Evidence 10 the hands of your COMMITTEES
leads your committee to believe that the fnoa
and diet OF the physicaliy healthy portion Of The
inmates c0uId DO materially improved and such
Improvement should Be made. We believe Il
wrong and inhumAne to subject The inmates Of
the tnssituiswtO one course Of diet day afler day
and month after month The diet should 6e
changed at least twice per week. The testimony
shows carelessness In preparing food. (See tes.

thak 10 or - milch cnws be purchased for The
useof the Asylum, TO furnish milk for the beDe.
