THE INCREASE OF INSANITY
Is STARTLING.
Figures Show That Number of Cases Has Doubled
In Eight Years In Stark county--More
AsyIums Needed.

subject of study to the physicians,
especially those who make a special
ty of minds diseased. During the
past year in Stark county excessive
drinking has sent seventeen persons
to the Massillon asylum. In four 9TH
ers opium, morphine and whisky fig
ured. In a number of other cases ex-
cessive alcoholic indulgence was the
indirect cause.
OTHER CAUSES.
Some Of the causes assigned In the
medical certificates filed are given:
Domestic infelicity and mental de-
ficiency; unhappy marriage; crossed
in love; religious mania; heredity' Do
mestic trouble; opium and morphine;
religion; insomnia. Many persons be-
come deranged from diseases, especial
ly those resulting from evil and vi
cious lives.
One cause given Is rather amusing.
A doctor solemnly made oath that the
cause of a woman becoming insane
was "Overeating of dumplings and
cheese for supper, causing insomnia. y
The probate Judge is compelled 10
record whatever the doctors swear to
and many wise physicians who do not
know the exact cause say so, with the
entry Cause unknown" Others in CT
der to fill out the blank. write mental
trouble" which is doubtless true II
not conclusive.
Judge NJ Z. Aungst, who has been
in the probate Office number of years
and passed upon many interesting
cases. when asked as to the remark
able increase and the causes leading to
1t said:
ALCOHOLISM.
"The increase is large enough, but
is not so great as the figures indicate.
Persons are now taken care of In asy-
lums who are but mildly affected with
insanity, and then another class suffer
from mania apotia, or insanity result
ing from drinking are cared for at the
state institutions. They are taken
there and in great many cases the
cure Is affected in short time. 9th
ers never recover. In spite OF this fact
and counting this class out, the num-
ber of insane Is increasing.
Drinking is the cause of fully 80
per cent. of the insanity; that is, it
is directly responsible for that pro-
portion. 1t is indirectly responsible
for 30 per cent. more Many of the
cases of so-called hereditary insanity
are found among children of dissipat-
ed parents. DR.. Eyman superintendent
of the Massillon asylum, says that the
records and Investigations among ex-
perts show that intemperance is the
cause OF the greater part of insanity"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-10-20

The number of insane patients In the
Stark county inflrmary is quite urge.
Among them are persons who are
violent and dangerous and have to. be
restrained. Others are idiotic or weak
minded. An effort was made to un-
load them upon the state last July but
the state simply could not care for
them and they remain where they
werc.
1t is expected that when the legis-
lature meets this winter some steps
will be taken to enlarge the capacj-
ty of the asylums so as to take care Of
the increase and relieve the infrm-
aries.

with the approval of almost all who
were present, and the indications are
that Alliance will soon have an organi-
zation of that kind. After the busi-
ness session. the visitors, local mem

Fellows were served delicious lunch
by the ladies of Rebekah lodge.

The increase in insanity in Ohio is
becoming alarming. What is true OF
the state at large is true also of Stark
county. The numbers sent to the asy-
luns from this county has doubled and
more than doubled in the last ten
or twelve years. The startling state
ment is made that the increase in the
state in each year is over 200 over the
year previous and at this rate the
state of Ohio will have to builo an
asylum with the capacity of that at
Massillon every FIVE years to care for
the people who are suffering from dis
eased minds.
At the present time the asylums can
not take care of all those who are adj
judged insane 1t was the intention of
the legislators that after the Massllon
asylum was built to take all The pa
tients from the various infirmaries
of the state, and in anticipation of
this the law was so amended that af-
ter July 1, 1903, no more insane should
be kept in the infirmaries. New cot
tage5 have been added year after year
TO the asylum In anticipation of this,
but in spite of the fact that new build
ings have been erected and millions of
dollars spent by the state. not only
cannot the insane in the infirmaries
be cared for, but the persons found to
be insane by the probate judges all
over the state cannot find a refuge in
the state institutions. There is hardly
county that has not overrun it's
quota and in this county before an in
quest is held it Is always a question as
to weather the patient can be cared
for.
STARTLING FIGURES.
The situation in Stark county can
be best illustrated by the figures as
bate office. Going back to 1895 the
number of inquests held were 80 in
the county. In 1896 the number was
43. The next year 33 and In 1893 4S.
From this on the increase is quite
marked. In 1899 there were 62 tried
as 10 their sanity. In 1900 there were
50, an increase of 20 over the previous
year.
In 1901 the number was 81. The
next year it dropped back to 70 and
then this year the number jun. ed TO
81. The years are figured up until
June l. The records for the last eight
and half years at the court house
have the cases numbered consecutively
and the total number for that time is
sos. Some Of these inQGests dill not
result in finding the party insane. but
these are but small per cent. of the
total number.
The causes leading tc insanity are
