VISITING PHYSICIANS REPORT
To the Trustees of the Asylum for
the insane and poor.
To the Honorable Board Of Trustees of
Grant County Asylans and poor House:
GENTLEMEN: In compliance with
your request submit to you the follow
ing report as visiting physician and
health officer of the above charities.
The health of the inmates in both the
ASYLUM and alms-house has been re-
markably good during the past year.
In the poor-house have to report the
death of Banner Ellidge from general
anasarca; in the asylum those of Joe.
Lamkins and Annie Ohlert from con-
sumption and Frank Muffiey from acute
peritonitis. But deaths occurring in
population of over 140 insane and intirm
people speaks very highly for the
management of these institutions.
For the further comfort of the in
mates of the asylum l would suggest
that some means of separating those OF
filthy habits from the clearly and we'll
behaved is desirable. | am satisfied
that in some instances an improvement
in the observance of cleanliness would
result, if the patient understood that
living in the general wards of the
asylum and associating with the better
class of patients was the reward for so
doing and the comfort of the attendants
and the general impression received by
visitors as to the management OF the
asylum would be materially improved.
| also wish to again reiterate my
opinion as to the necessity of new
poor-house, There can be no question
in the mind of any candid person as to
the utter unfitness of the present build
ing for the purpose, or as to the I'M
possibility of repairing or remodellng
it so as to make it in keeping with the
other charitable institutions provided
by the generosity and humane con-
sideration of the citizens of Grant
County for her unfortunates.
am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
A. II. BARBER, Nj. ID.
