RESTRAINT
UPON
INSANE
PERSONS.

was the result Of their perverted mentality.
Their condition had been known in the
community for some time, but no one re-
garded it as his business to interfere and
seek to restrain those poor creatures be-
fore they would DO harm to themselves OF
to others. This Indifference, or. reluctance
to meddle in the private affairs OF reo-
pie, especially in a case OF this sort, is
haps,in less degree. People are naturally
sensitive in this respect, and the more
refined they are the greater is their
delicacy. And yet, it becomes public
duty to put restraint upon persons whose
reason is awry, in order TO put it out OF
their power to commit an act which ii
a sane person would be accounted a
crime. Incipient insanity is regarded all
too lightly. 1t presents one of those cases
in which an ounce of prevention is worth
several pounds OF cure.
1t is not alone from consideration for
their immediate family OF for their neigh
bors that such unfortunates should be
placed under duress as soon as the de-
ranged state of their minds manifests it,
self, but on account of themselves They
should be protected against them selves as
well. 1t is an act of kindness, not IN
act of oppression or even improper inter
ference, to bring a case OF this character
to the notice OF the proper authorities.
Moreover, it is a civic duty, for II is
done for the benefit of the community
no less than for he benefit of the indi-
vidual Had Guiteau been taken in hand
in time. Garfield might be living this day.
Another point is also to be noted in
this connection. Sufficient care is not
exercised to separate the Grimm insane
from those that are not so. II IS a
grievous mistake committed in many
asylums to make no distinction in the
classification of the more violent patients,
suspected of homicidal mania AS to make
their fellow patients or nurses safe against
i sudden ebullit ion of the homicidal
spirit Many life has paid the penalty
of this disregard of proper precaution.
The problem of properly caring for hose
whose reason is dethroned presents m
Vulnerable difficulties There is all the
more cause, therefore, for the exercise
of strict vigilance and prompt Interference
when the first indications show On the
surface.
