"Your coming to Baltimore at

in the general welfare of our insane.
Much is being done, but unfortun

almshouses and .jails are still ten
anted by the idiotic and distraught,
and the county asylums perpetuate
their denominations without even
justifying the poor excuse for their
existence in lessened cost. Some
effort is being made to awaken the
conscience of the State to it's further
duty toward those of the insane
who are deprived of the opportunity
for betterment in wards of well
equipped hospitals. Our ultimate
aim is the aim of all alienists and
philanthropists the world over
