The Addition TO the ASYLUM.

1t is hard to see how any person, not
governed by inyeterate prejudice, can
examine our insane asylum and all mat
tiers connected with it, and not favor the
improvements necessary to render all
its accommodations fully available
While in some parts of the building the
accommodations are good, yes, superior
for nearly one hundred patients, in other
parts they are wretchedly defective for
even forty. 1t must be remembered
that when that building was planned
the county asylum business was an ex-
pertinent and the planners were not
guided by the light of previous expert
ence, and under such circumstances it is
inevitable that the work of human beings
shall be in some parts defective
The readers of the HERALD, more
especially those into whose charge
the county has intrusted its business,
ought to read carefully the statements of
the three members of the state board,
published in the semi-weekly HERALD.
These gentlemen are evidently actuated
by motives of sincere and deep philan-
thropy-it is impossible to see any rea-
sonable grounds for attributing to them
sinister or selfish motives, and they have
made this subject study for many
years and have much experience and
wide observation to guide them. 1t is
true their impatience with those with
whom they come in contact who, lack
ing their wide experience and knowledge
of the subject, cannot see as they do,
sometimes renders their manner toward
county boards peremptory, dogmatic
and somewhat offensive, thus stirring up
stubborn and unreasoning antagonism;
but men who have been trusted with the
public business of forty thousand people
and the welfare of a very helpless and
unfortunate class, ought to be able to
rise above these feelings.
1t seems indisputablc that if the MEM
bers of the county board will carefully
look over the asylum and the figures
which have been presented in this case
Figures which may easily be verifed)
they will be fully convinced that to re-
fuse to make the addition win be false
and short-sighted economy-saving at
the spigot to waste at the bung

Rheun1afis

It Is an established fact that Hoods Sar.
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
