Committee on Epilepsy Treatment
! Makes Public Appeal for Funds
for Southern California,
Project

The establishment of a state insti-
tuition for the treatment of epilepsy
is being agitated in this part of the
state by a number of prominent people
and physicians.
on epilepsy Is working hard to bring
conditions to the point Where the peo-
pie at large will see the necessity OF
establishing an institution, centrally
situated for the treatment of epilep-
tics in this state. The committee was
appointed at a meeting of representa-
tive citizens of Los Angeles october
29, to investigate and report upon the
need for further provision for the cpl
leptics in California, and particularly
the southern part of the state. The
members of this committee are: Miss
Katherine r. Fisher, chairman; Mrs.
l.. H. Dutton, secretary; DR.. Ross
Moore. G. c.. Desmond and Miss Fran
ces Wills.
The committee has formulated the
following circular to be sent to the
physicians and prominent institutions
of the state:
Colony Plan Advised
"As you are aware, great advances
have been made in recent years in the
care and treatment of epileptics. 1t
has been found that their welfare and
that of the community is best pro-
moted by providing special institutions
for them on the colony or village plan.
There are a number of such colonies
i'm Europe and at least fifteen of our
own states have made or are making
colony provisions for INDECENT and
semi-dependent epileptics. By means
of colony life the condition of these
persons may be improved and their
capacity for self-support increased.
"There being in California no spe-
cial' provision for epileptics, repre-
sentative citizens met on October 29,
1906, to consider the needs of this un-
fortunate class. At this meeting a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate and report upon the condition of
epileptlcs throughout the state as a
step toward bettering this condition.
This committee asks you to CO.
operate in this humane and important
work"
1t is expected that the committee
will meet about December 10 and that
the colony question for epileptics in
this state will be discussed by promi-
nent physicians and others interested
in the subject.
DR.. Ross Moore, a member of the
committee, regarding epilepsy said
yesterday afternoon:
Epilepsy is a disease that has many
causes. II does not run
who'll in the line OF fits as many sup
pose. The fundamental cause OF epi-
lepsy the physicians do not claim to
1t must be realized that
each case must be treated on its own
merits
Are Social Outeasts
"One very bad feature of the dis
ease is that the person who Is af-
hicted with 1t is practically a social
outcasts People do not want him
around even to NOV their lawns for
fear he will have flt. This condi-
lion makes 1t impossible for him TO
earn his livelihood unless by mental
abor An epileptic child cannot attend
school for the same reason.
MANY OF the victims are people OF
nigh intelligence, and II Is a great
hardship for them TO be treated as they
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-26

are now. The most feasible plan for
caring for this unfortunate class lies
in their colonization, namely, in bring
ing them together on large tract of
land to live in cottages and teaching
them useful occupations which do not
subject them to danger, and to give
the younger epileptics good general
education and provide permanent
home for all cases which demand it,
1T is natural that great influence
is brought to bear in wealthy families
that the afflicted members should be
treated at their homes. But to look
at it in a beneficial standpoint for the
wealthy patient, he can be much bet
ter treated at an institution adapted
to all the necessities, which could not
be provided in private home.
Home Not Best
While it is recognized that it is the
duty of the relatives and family to
support such a person to the best of
their ability, it is not necessarily a
duty that he should be treated at
home And an institution of this kind
is certainly the best place for the
treatment of the poorer classes
In speaking of the work of the COM
mittee and the proposed state institu-
tion, Miss Fisher, the chairman, said
yesterday afternoon:
Whatever further action the COM
mittee may recommend, it will urge
guarding against drawing epileptics
from other states to California by the
establishment of an institution here.
1t will seek to make such an institu-
tion, if established as nearly self-sup-
porting as possible. The proposed in
stitution would not be in any way OBJ
1ectionable in d community. 1t should
be placed on such an area of land as
to be removed from surrounding resi-
dences and the epieptics segregated
under proper care.
Southern California is just the place
for such an institution.
Open Air Needed
"One-story buildings, which are
suited to epileptics, avoiding, falls on
stairs and lessening the number of at
tendants necessary, are practicable in
this climate. They are i'm easy access
to the outer air, which is important
for the sufferers. Real camp life for
this class has never been tried.
DIR. Clifford Scott superintendent
of a private charitable colony for epi-
leptlcs near Philadelphia, extolls the
climatic conditions of Southern Cali
fornia because of its outdoor chances
for patients
THE committee would recommend in
the case of an institution being duly
established here the reduction of
housework to minimum; that the
women patients might profit equally
with the men by outdoor facilities"
The committee having made a for
NAL application for membership in the
national association has received
favorable word of acceptance, which |

''Van" was one of the most reliable of
employees in a printing office and was
competent and trustworthy. He is sur.
vived by wife, daughter and son, who
have the heartfelt sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement.
Funeral services were held at Eliza

Rev. j. w. Pressly, and the remains were
inferred in Elbert cemetery in the after

grave here.
