Fntnurest details. Concerning the fnstitas-
ttcn. DR. Whiting says ia his report:
THE beneficial results obtained ssnsr
the new building was made ready for oc-
capanry are very apparent The term of
treatment required In individual diseases
has been materially shortened. as com
pared with similar cases in the old hos
pisai. This is especially observable in pa
tients undergoing the more severe sufyi-
cal procedures. and is attributable 10 the
excellent hygsenic influences furnished ~
the more modern structure. The death
rate has likewise been lessened, bur Is sin
large. due mainly to previous life and
habits of inmates. the great majority of
whom are, or have been. alcoholics and
syphilisics. and these. together with these
who have deferred application for admss-
sion until their atirnent has progressed
beyond control. necessarily swell the NOR
tally TO a greater extent than * would
otherwise be.
Contrary 10 expectations, the number
OF applications for admission has not in

Or. Whiting gives an interesting ac-
count OF the arrangement of the various
rooms on the different floors and the fact
Is brought out that the male and female
inmates are kept strictly apart: also that
patients suffering from like ailments are
kept together and separate from other In
mates; thus the corsumptives are In one
ward. incurabie aud loathsome diseases in

the hours should run from one up to to
twenty-four. instead of from midnight
up to twelve noon. and then, beginning
again, up to twelve midnight. The idea
did not meet with much favor. A few
clocks were made on this plan. but
they were regarded merely as curiosi-
ties. In the Dominion of Canada they
were taken up by one or two railways,
and are still used.
