doctor prescribed a wash and salve. My
head at this time was SO sore could not
touch 1t. After trying several doctors
and many patent medicines, nothing
would cure it and I lost much time from
work.
Then / decided to go to the hospital.
Several doctors were called in to look at
1t, and after some consultation they said
that had seborrhoea in its worst stage.
They began to treat it but it improved
very slowly. For over three years was

wing to the county home in addition
to the present structure would mean
an expenditure in round numbers Of
about twenty thousand dollars. The
expense for a month per insane in
mate would be six or seven dollars
month however and this would mean
a saving of over sixty dollars q year
for one insane person. This would
mean saving OF 81 500 year and in
q few years, the new wing would be
paid for and the tax payers under
much less expense, the levy per tax
payer being about three mills.
The Importance of such an addition
to the Lee county home cannot be UNI
derestimated and much favor has al
ready been shown toward the new
project of caring for insane patients
at the county home instead of at the
state hospitals. Scott county, Polk
and Des Moines also to certain ex-
tent care for their insane patients and
none of them have tbs same good
facilities as the Lee county home for
such an undertaking
The Lee county home is located five
miles from Keokuk and is on rail-
road switch too, giving good railroad
transportation and within easy access
of this city. These are two of the
strongest arguments in favor of the
construction of the proposed wing.
There are 245 acres Of ground belong
ing to the county on which the home is
located and the situation could not be
better.
