The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1895-08-23

| Very few of the hundreds of visitors to
Toledo on the excursions which run almost
weekly to that city visit the Toledo State
Asylum for the Insane, which Is probably
the most successfully conducted institution
of the kind In the United States. The
grounds are beautifully situated and kept In
perfect order. The buildings, which con-
sist OF the administration building, ten cot
tages, kitchens, boiler rooms, barns, etc., are
all OF brick, kept in elegant shape and make
home for the unfortunate inmates such as
few of thom had before going to the institu-
ton.
In other asylums padded cells. barred
windows and other restraints are much used,
while here none are used and 1t is this free
dom and home-like care that makes the
record of cures so very large. But few are
even kept lock up, and these are taken out
for walks, drives and meals with the others.
DR.. Fred Todd, son of e. A. Todd of this
city, now holds the position of assistant
superintendent and is making fine record.
Recently he discovered cure for melan-
cholia that is proving one of the most
valuable remedies in use, and is being rap
idly taken up by similar institutions. He
has been extremely successful in cases of
commissions, and is hard student in other
lines. A TINES representative was most
pleasantly entertained at the institution
recently by DIR. Todd, who is always pleased
with visit from friends and is royal host
$1,75O, 900 will be paid out to Michigan
veterans for pensions next quarter.
