VI HUDSON hlVeT oLdIe I1OSplCdl
" for the Insane at Poughkeep-
sic, which will be opened next
October, represents the newest de-
parture in the treatment Of mental
faults"
Any man or woman may go there OF
his or her free will and ask to be OBJ
served. 1t will be done free of charge
If the patient cannot pay. IL he or
she can, the charge will run from 5O
cents to ten dollars week.
1t is to be refuge for those who fear
they are going mad, to be observed
and treated before it is too late. 1t
provides the chance to get well after
q nervous breakdown or mental col
lapse without undergoing the stigma
of insanity If there is nothing wrong
the physicians will return the patient
to the world without comment; if
there is any sign of incipient insanity
the patient will be properly treated.
If the treatment fails he or she will
be committed in the regulation way,
as it is done now.
The building is completed now at a
cost of 100000. Only the interior
remains to be finished. 1t is absolute
" fireproof there is nothing infiam-
mabIe but the wooden floors and trim
There are reception rooms, a main
dining-room and dormitories. 1t re
sembles a weil-conducted summer hotel
more than an insane asylum.
No Mere Fetters or Handouts.
A century ago an insane person was
at once put in chains and manacles
end cast into a dungeon cell until
death came as a merciful relief. 1t
was only the other day that a con-
gresham, visiting the Hudson River
State Hospital for the Insane-it is
not called an asylum-asked to see
the letters and handouts used on the
patents. There isn't one.
1t is not prison; it is a place TO
cure. Times have changed
Here is the situation to-day: You
have had a great shock; you have
been immensely worried and you feel
that something is going to snap; you
are afraid there is screw loose
somewhere"
Am / going mad?" you ask your
self.
1t is then time to visit the Acute
hospital.
Suppose you really are insane, the
way you would have been treated in
the past is this: A committee was ap-
pointed for your person. Your estate
was taken in charge. You were regu-
larly passed upon by the physicians,
and a commitment issued. The next
thing you knew you found yourself in
an insane asylum with no chance of
getting out unless the doctors said
you we're cured.
But how is this done now?
You feel that something is wrong.
You find that you can't collect your
thoughts. Your memory fails you.
You are peevish, nervous, eXcitable,
melancholy You are in great distress
over your mental health. Yet you feel
pretty sure you are not insane, though
folks may shake their heads behind
your back and some of your best
friends may remark that you are not
yourself
What is there to do? Just take the
train to Poughkeepsie, ask for DR..
Charles w. Pilgrim, superintendent of
the Hudson River Hospital for the In
sane. and tell him what is the matter.

over her. And if things are favorable
her cure is very simple.
"Of course, some will apply who are
not insane, but think they may be.
1t may be only prostration. Imagine
the relief to them when we tell them
that they are all right mentally
not insane, but mentally tired.
Zone of the great rewards of our
profession is the thanks we often get
from those we have cured. They did
not know at the time what the mat
ter was, but after they had been
cured they realized what had been
done for them. l think there is moth
ing that can satisfy a physician more
than the appreciation of those he has
saved from mental night"
Already there have been many appli-
cants for the new treatment. When
the new hospital opens it will be first
come. first served. If the patients be
found to improve upon treatment they
will not be deemed insane. If they
should fail mentally after period OF
six months, then the regular commit
ment proceedings will ensue, just as
they would have done had the patient
waited till the disease had progressed
too far.
Work When Possible.
To-day Is per cent. Of the men pa
tients and Is per cent of the women
patients at Poughkeepsie are able to
work. This gives their minds some
thing to think about and helps toward
a cure. if this be possible. They are
encouraged to wear their own clothes
If they can afford it, and they are al
lowed to receive as many visitors as
the doctors consider good for them.
There are games for them to play,
and pianos, if they are musicians.
Bathing is insisted upon. If the pa.
tients want to battle they may do SO
as often as they please. If they don't
want to, then they must at regular
periods. Those who can be trusted are
allowed the freedom of the grounds /;
others even may go to town if they
desire.
But, what is best of all, 1t costs
nothing if the patient cannot pay.
Board, lodging, medical attendance,
clothing, rything-the state of
New York will pay for if you cannot.
If you can pay 81, So, SIS, $40, all right.
But all this newest treatment is
free if you cannot pay.-New York

You are conducted to the Acute hos
pital, or Psychopathic ward Gas they
choose to call it up there. You tell
your history and what you fear is the
matter You are asked to step inside
a reception room. No attendants are
about, and you are your own master
or mistress-and a few questions are
asked. Perhaps physician takes
specimen of your blood to ascertain
the condition Of your health.
If your case demands it you are as
signed to quiet room furnished as
well as the Waldorf-Astoria and just
as clean, with hardwood floors, hand
some enameled bed, bureau, chairs
and the like. The physician comes in
and chats with you. You tell him
frankly what your worries are. You
are afraid of yourself; your mind
doesn't seem to work just right. You
are hysterical; you can't sleep; you
can't eat; you want to scream out
every minute.
"Take this lady to her room and
we'll try the continuous bath" says
the physician.
After you have put on your bath
robe pretty trained nurse in smart
little cap and trim blue uniform puts
her arm around your waist and off
you go TO most wonderful ROOM
filled with all sorts of taps and faucets
and quiet as the grave.
In the middle of the room is bath
tub of the finest porcelain, fitted with
nickeled plumbing. Near by is some
electric apparatus with thermometer,
which rings a bell should the water
in the tub go above the temperature
which the physician has ordered.
Hammock in the Bath.
But this is no ordinary tub. Within
it is a canvas hammock with head
on any summer porch. You lie down
in it and the water is turned on, just
the right temperature and just the
right force. There you lie, with the
warm water softly enveloping you.
The nurse puts a rubber pillow be-
meath your head.
Nov, go to Sleep" she tells you.
You sleep. At supper time there is
a dainty tray with just a silver of
chicken and bit of lettuce, slice of
toast and a dab of strawberry JAM
You haven't eaten for a month. You
have slept, however, for perhaps two
hours. You are hungry. You start to
get out of the BATH
mo, lie right where you are" eau
lions the nurse, this is going to be
your home until we get you well
again"
All the old-fogy notions about not
eating before you battle are cast to
the winds. You stay in the hammock
in the bathtub, getting calmer every
minute. You sleep for six hours;
more than you have slept at stretch
for months. Next morning, breakfast
is served to you in the tub, then din
ner, then supper. If you are calm
enough you may read, but you must
stay in the tub. You find yourself
growing calmer and calmer and calm
er. The doctor drops in occasionally
and chats with you. Perhaps he takes
sample of your blood again to see
if you are we'll nourished or not.
Signs of Improvement.
You notice that birds are singing
outside in the trees. You are taking
maps, when before you couldn't sleep
at all. You are hungry before meal
times. You are beginning to feel that
you have rested long enough. You
haven't the slightest desire to scream

Swollen Streams Remedied Defects In
Law REGARDING Fish Season.

April 1 is usually considered as the
date for the opening of the trout season
and in the past the state law pro-
hibited angling prior to that date.
However, this year no such law mas
been in effect, owing to the blunder OF
the legislature, and nimrods coui1
have fished sooner had they desired.
However, the regard for the former
custom, together with the fact tha'
the streams have been too hlgh 1or
good fishing, have kept the anglers a.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Gladys.
Countess Szechenyi, is tired of Hun

goes to make the life of nobility in that
delightful country all that a real hardy
person would wish for-when one has

an interview with the countess. She is
homesick, i'll, and apparently disguised
with her isolated life; she is suffer

husband to return to America with her
but Szechenyi refused.

manned there" she sighed. But the
counts answer was: In America L

become a great politician.
When the countess suggested that he
might engage in politics in America,
the count is said to have shrugged his
shoulders, twisted his moustache and
replied: "Oh. [ could not listen to
such a thing; l could not think of MAX
ing such a move"
Szechenyi's villa, near the ancient
Szechenyi castle is said to have been
built more than a century ago. Every
body in Hungary knows that the place
has never been any too comfortable
