by timely action. The difficulty of ap-
plying the remedy will never be less,
and the blame should not be laid ut the

INCREASED APPROPRIATION
FOR INSANE ASYLUMS,

The recent revelations made by the
Worlds reporter, Nellie BY, who made a
tour OF the city insane asyums on Black

much cruelty, deprivation Of food, and In
sufllclency Of clothing, have Mortified the

Mayor Hewitt in appropriatlng the full
amount asked for Insane asYlums became
almost matter Of course.
That very decided reforms are TO be made
in the management Of these Asylums can
no longer be doubted. With the increased
appropriation, which will insure good food,
plenty OF clothing, proper nurses and physi-
clane, and the adoption for use by all physi-
clans Of the great nerve remedy, Scotch
Oats Essence, will make this certain. IL has
for long time been patent fact to many
people who are posted, that IL Scotch
Oats Essence were used more largely by
the people generally, there would be a
smaller number OF cases In our Insane Aey.
