and is a relic Of past superstition which
should be eliminated from the legal IT,
ties of all institutions where the unfor
tunate insane are cared for and under
treatment.
The great State of New York, appre-
ciating the more humane and advanced
conception of institutions for the care
and cure of her insane, has recently
passed law authorizing the changing
of the legal style and title of the Estate
Lunatic Asylum at Utica, to the Utica
State Hospital and this has led to the
remaining of all similar State Institutions
in that State. They are now called
Estate Hospitals" instead of : unatic
Asylums'' Other States are making sim
liar changes.
therefore respectfully suggest to your
Board the propriety of making applica-
ton to the next session of the Legislature
to change the legal style and title of
this Institution, and re- naming it West
ern Insane Asylum" or western Asy-
lum for the Insane Western Insane
Hospital or Western Hospital for the
Insane" Staunton, either one of which
would be more in accord with the ad-
vances of medal science and the progress
of modern civilization than the present
name western Lunatic Asylum"
The belief that there is "a come elton
between the moons phase and the men
tai condition of the insane seems now so
absurd that the word, lunatic, In which
that belief was embodied, has come to
have ludicrous associations, to which the
insane are painfully sensitive. To con-
tinue its use is needless. which are in
many cases already heavy enough. and !
cannot but believe that the suggestion
make, embodied in the form of a motion,
will meet the hearty approval of every
member of the Legislature.
