EPLEPTlC

The Epileptic asylum at GallipoEs.
Ohio, may be set down as one of the
greatest institutions in that State.
Though located there only a few
years ago, wonderful work has beer
done in buildings and the grounds
have been so improved and beauti6ed
that the lawns, walks and evergreens
are second to none anywhere. The
cottages are kept in the cleanest
condition, the attendants are polite
to visitors, the patients are well cared
for and it is a pleasure to visit this
institution. We sometimes think
that citizens of GallipOlis do not APP
preciate or realize the beauties of this
grand home for the unfortunate.
