A HARD CASE,

Brainerd Journal: On Monday
lost Mari Coarse, who lives on section
26, Garrison township, on Mile Laos
lake, was arrested on complaint Of
Clara Walter, mis- step daughter,
charged with being the father Of her
two children, aged three and FIVE
years. The prisoner was examined
before ". A. Warren, justice Of the
peace, and bound over to the district
court. It appeared on examination
that Coarse has kept his fnmily in a
constant condition Of terror, md by
threats aud intimidation he had kept
lis lecherous conduct from coming to
the knowledge Of his neighbors Mr.,
Warren and Constable Il. NJ. DinWid-
die came to town I Tuesday with the
prisoner and lodged him in jail. His
bail was fixed by Mr.. arren at 500
but % the man appears TO have no
friends he will probably remain il

very strong sentiment exists through

reason, and because of the
vast quantity used annually in our

commend itself to you as one desery-

If it should be found that such opera

WASHINGTON, D. c., May


To the Medical Profession:
The various medical associations
and the medical profession will be
glad to learn that DR.. John S. Bill
ings, Surgeon U. S. Army, has con-
sented to take charge of the Report
on the Mortality and Vital Statistics
of the United States as returned by
the Eleventh Census.
As the United States has no system
Of registration of vital statistics, such
as is relied upon by other civilized
nations for the purpose of ascertain
ing the actual movement of popula-
tiU, our census affords the only op-
portunity of obtaining near an ap-
proximate estimate Of the birth and
death rates of much the larger part
Of the country, which is entirely un-
provided with any satisfactory system
of State and municipal registration.
In view Of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue-to the medical profession
throuhout the country ''PhysIcian's
Registers" for the purpose OF obtaining
more accurate returns of deaths than
it is possible for the enumerators to
make. 1t is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part Of the
country will cooperate with the
Census Office in this important work.
The record should be kept from June
I, 1899, to May 81, 1890. Nearly
$4,000 Of these registration books
were filled up and returned to the
Office in 1880. and nearly all of them
used. for statistical purposes. 1t is
hoped that double this number will
be obtained for the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Resisters
can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses to the Census
Office, and, with the Register, all of:
fetal envelope which requires no
stamp will be provided for their re.
turn to- Washington.
If all medical and surgical practi.
TONERS throughout the country will
lend their aid, the mortality and Vita
statistics Of the Eleventh. Cencus will
be more comprehensive and complete
than they have ever been. Every
physician should take Il personal
pride in having this report as full and
accurate as it is possible to make it
Its hereby promised that all in.
formation obtained through this
source shall be held strictly con
fdential.

INSANE ASYLUM ABUSES.

The facts have just come to light
in regard to 4 brutal murder conf
mitted in the Rochester, Minnesota,
asylum for the insane. As is told in
our news columns, a colored inmate
Of the asylum was Killed by his at
PENDANTS early in April, and the facts
were concealed by the authorities,
who did not seem to regard the crime
as very serious affair. Now that
the public have obtained knowledge
of the facts, there is determined de-
mand for the punishment of the per-
retrators of the act, and Of those Off
Gals who would consent to conceal it..
The public is especially careful,
and rightly so, that superintendent
and attendants Of institutions for the
care Of the unfortunate wards shall
deal with the patients in humane
and gentle manner, and nothing will
quicker arouse public Indignation
than substantiated reports Of the I'M
merciful treatment Of the insane.
There is also not much room for doubt
but most attendants and even many
Of the superintendent of asylums be-
come, by long contact with the aggra-
waiting and unreasonable patients,
hardened and brutal in their feelings
toward the poor beings, and on slight
provocation the patients are NAL
treated. Ignorant and vicious at
PENDANTS are apt to resort to punish
ment as means to subduc the insane
into good behavior, and the superin-
tendents in many cases show no sym.
pathy for the victims. Indeed inves
tigatic ms and disclosures in scores of
asylums have shown that patients are
often treated in most horrible man
ner, and the apparent aim Of the
keepers is simply to keep the inmates
subdued by terror, and no proper care
is given them. 1t is known that the
victims can never bring punishment
on their abusers, even if they recover
and are released, and if the punish
mcnt is administered so numerically
US to cause death, as it did in this case
with Coombs in the. Rochester asylum
the attendants will be shielded by
the asylum authorities, If possible.
Now that a definite case has been
established against those in charge Of
the Rochester asylum, their prosccu,
ton should be pushed with all posi-.
BILE vigor, and each officer punished
to the full extent of his deserts. Al
ready those who killed Coombs are
under arrest, and Superintendent
Bowers, Assistant Physicians Collins
Phelps and Randall and Steward
Kerr have been discharged in disgrace
by the state authorities, and will be
punished under the law as they car
be shown guilty. Nothing less than
the most determined prosecution o:
all implicated will meet the demand:
of the people of the state or serve the
ends Of justice. 1t is a general belief
we'll founded, that very few of The
abuses in the asylums are ever mad,
public, and when they are, the pun
ishment should be swift and complete

to prevail upon her husband to send her

his money to his suffering wife. This he
agreed to do, but when asked to give the
treasurer of the Home the authority to
send that amount, he refused and said he
would keep it all and leave the Home. He

and research to this subject Of longevity,
and has arrived at the satisfactory conclu-

virile powers increased and preserved at

today enjoying the blessing Of perfect

almost magical efficacy of Warmers Safe

and to the normal type of constitution,
after they had almost given up hope Of

both renews youth and contributes to the

The strong desire to attain old age mean

would scarcely desire to be old, were the
aged neglected or regarded with mere suf-
ferance. That is a high civilization in
which age is made source Of distinction.

willingly paid, because every one who does
homage to age may himself, eventually, be-
come an object of such homage.
