OF the IL in large room of Ward 3,
a number are more or less violent and
should have rooms to themselves.
A new ward for refractory cases is
needed. capable of holding at least 40.
Ward No. that now has the most
violent cases, is in very bad condition,
and all cells should be repaired.
On October 25 DIR. Day wrote letter
to Chairman Lansing of the Insane
Asylum committee, regarding the ne
cessity for increased accommodations
for patients at this institution. He
said:
"The situation is critical, and |
don't see any way of properly reliev-
ing it short of building a new ward of
strong cells. Something could be ac-
complished by, wedding out a number
of chronic idiots and harmless cases.
That ought to ne done at once, but It
will not relieve the situation much, be-
cause the pressing need is for more
strong rooms for the violently insane,
such cases as cannot be put into a
general ward, like Ward No. 2.
Several such cases are now obliged
to spend the nights in the chairs used
for refractory patients.
Nothing short of another building,
with separate cells will meet the re-
quirements, as they should be met.
eff, however, that is impossible ut
the present time, / would suggest re-
storing the separate cells in Ward No.
2, walling in the eating pavilion and
converting that into dormatory for
harmless cases. and erecting new
eating room on the other side of the
kitchen.
These changes could probably be
made for less money than would be
required to put up new building. and
might serve to tide us over until we
can put up handsome new ward.
with accommodations for 40 or so pa
tents, similar to Ward No. L."
The Board of Health held a brief eX-
ecutive session before adiourning.

Mrs. w. b. Meek, who resides at
Camptonville, Cal, says her daughter
was for several years troubled at times
with severe cramps in the stomach,
and would be in such agony that it
was necessary to call in physician.
Having read about Chamberlaiu's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
she concluded to try it. She found
that it always gave prompt relief. It
was seldom necessary to give the sec
ond dose. ut has not only sayed us
lots of worry and time" she says ''Dut
also doctor bills. 1t is my opinion
that every family should have bot
tie of this remedy in the house. For
sale by all druggists and dealers. Ben
