lum, at Trenton, contains many curious
and interesting facts.
At the close of the last fiscal year the
number of patients was 707, the number
received since, viz, from November /,
1887, to October 81 1888, inclusive, was l9S-
107 men and and 81 women. The whole
number of cases under care during the
past year was o05-of this number, IA
have been discharged, as follows:-As re-
covered, SO; as improved, -; as unlfn-
proved, 5; as not insane, 2. Inc NUMBER
of deaths was 65.
AT the close of this year there remained
under care in the asylum 76l-3S5 men ana
376 women. This is the largest number
under care at any n time since the open
ing of the institution, and necessarily the
accommodations of the main building
have been taxed to the very uttermost.
The completion and occupation OF the new
building will at once afford relief and en-
able the Board properly to classify the
patients and greatly facilitate the treat
ment of the durable cases, and the e
fetal results that cannot fail to follow
will fully Justify the expenditure made
The ratio of ~recoverieS in proportion to
the whole number admitted during the
year was about twenty-siX per cent,
which is considerably below the annual
average in the past decade. or the 81
discharged as recovered 10 have been I'M
der treatment in the asylum before, but
only 3 of these at any time within the two
years Immediately preceding their last
discharge from the Institution.
From a table showing the alleged
causes of the insanity of the new patients
it appears that 10 men and 2 women, or
12 out of a total of 1873 cases, were due to
drink. Religious excitement caused 3
cases Il man and 2 women); overwork
caused 6 a men and 2 womenl; tobacco,
8; domestic troubles, %; ill health, 30,
and hereditary faint, 5 cases.
OF those admitted Is q men and 6 women)

edged decided hereditary tendency, and in

position to insanity.
In 50 cases (27 men and s women) the

ate in the use of alcohol or opium, or
both. In IS cases az men and 6 women)
