the New York state commission in

he adds that private sanitariums
would probably show larger proper

DR.. Clarke Gapen, now located st
Madison, Wis. but formerly at the
head of the Illinois Eastern Hospital
for the Insane, at Kankakee, could
find only nine in report covering
four years, and 2,1S1 cases of insan-

the public asylums, but even there
they are usually discharged quickly.
And most of those in these places arr

are merely there to be assisted in
breaking a habit. Some should be-
kept under restraint, at least much
longer than they are, as the only
means of keeping them from dropping
back into the old rut, but you can't
hold in an asylum man, otherwise
mentally sound, just because he has
weak will.
Then what is the fate of the dope

the penitentiary or the asylum, so
what does become of him?
