Insanity in Chicago is on the in
crease, but only to the extent expected
BY the increase in.the city population
and the changing of conditions there,

: DIR. ID. r. Brewer, professor of men,
tai and nervous diseases in Rush and
the Northwestern Women's Medical
college and the author OF a textbook
on the subject of insanity, said: SIN
sanity tbriyes in urban communities.
Great cities are the hotbeds of degen-
eracy. In New York the proportion
OF insane TO the sane is enc to $40. In
Chicago it is one to 400. The rate is
increasing in all great cities. Briefly,
the reason is that in this day and age
we are living too fast. Modern condi-
ticns of life are enfeebling. We live in
flats in which all the attention is paid
to heating, none at all to yentilating.
We come downtown in the street cars
in which the air is worse than that
OF the. Black Hole of Calcutta. We
bolt our meals, rush from one employ
ment to another, take little or no time
to sit down and pull ourselves together.
Naturally. in every great city, the
tendency is toward an increase of in
sanity Such is the case in Chicago"

In Chicago the method of having
