ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE IN
SANE.
No now institutions have been establish
"a during the past year. Addltohs no"
49, 10 each of the State hospitals hav
been erected in order that care ana tlea'
mont may be provided for all the indi
sent insane of the state. At presen
2 900 insane people O.121 whites ana y
negroes) are provided for at the fou
hospitals at an annual cost OF $4,000.
one of the asylums for the Whlte lhsah
there IS In course Of erection hospl'o
college. which I'm points OF construcuo
and appliances will. when completed
compare favorahly with almost any othe
hospital In this country.
EPILEPTICS.
At the Central Hospital. Petersburg
Va. for the colored insane, separat
building. exclusively for insane ephel
lies. will probably be erected this sun
mer. Public thought has OF late bee
directed towards the care of epileptic'
and a humane sentiment has been arou'
cd I'm the interest OF those unfortunate
of whom there are no less than 1000 J
the State.
The Legislature passed n bill providin
for a commission whose duty II is TO "
yestieate the matter Of State provision K
epileptics. Eventually we shall doubles
have a colody. for already the matte
has been much agitatcd. and the pla
has a large number of advocates.
INSANITY ON THE INCREASE.
That insanity In the state is on y
increase there can be no doubt. In Is
l.ss than coo white and 80 colored ID
sane were In our asylums. while as poin
ed out above there are now 1125 OF II
former and S25 Of the latter. II
ratio OF the white insane 20 the who
population is one 20 $50; that OF n
negro. one to 30. 1t is a significant IA
that there are now more insane negro
IN Virginia than We're reported IN 1860
the entire United states. SO here n
problems for the serious consideration
