PHYSICIANS REPORT

To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the
Grant County Asylum and County Home:
Gentlemen The Wisconsin system of county
asylums for the insane is success and blessing,
and not fully appreciated by the people of our
county. The serious doubts as to the permanent
vanished.
The measurements Of results give us the
answer looked for and the past year has verified
it time and again. The inmates like limited
family, are all known and easily watched. Those
that able to work are employed ard become
interested in the daily duties. l know the ratio
of employment is much greater than in the state
hospitals and therefore more reStful for patients.
Many of the violent patients from the state hos
pitfalls have become wonderfully quiet, and TO
such extent that restraint IS not necessary.
The standing prescription daily and constantly
carried out IS, " Kindness, liberty and work"
There are a great many old inmates in the
Asylum. Thirteen over eighty and three over
ninety and one hundred and three and large
number over seventy-five. These decadent

fresh air and perfect nourishment. There has
Your Superintendent is Watchful and kind and
Mrs. Burrls certainly possesses hypnotic power,
calming patients when the attendants utterly
fail. There is one suggestion wish to make and
that is the employment of trained nurse for the
hospital. 1t would add greatly to the comfort
taxed. The everyday attendant cannot care
Tor the sick, however willing they may be- The
inmates human and should have the same
attention, when sick, that they would have at
home. Following are the deaths for the past
year:

February 5th, 1911, Mr.. Herman Grimm died
at his home in Cassville Mr.. Grimm had served
trustee for great many years. We recog-
nze that his services have been of incalcuable
value to Grant county and in his death the Grant
County Asylum and County Home and all con-
nected with it have suffered loss that cannot be
estimated. He truly has earned the reward
melted out to all good and faithful servants and
this county owes to Herman Grimm lasting re
membrance.
Your trustees have expended a considerable
amount on repairs to the Asylum, which when
viewed by the committee we believe will meet
their approval:
The report of the Superintendent will give in
detail the general condition of the institution and

Accordingly, we have had the building thoroughly
repaired at an estimated expense of three thou
sand dollars. The bills for this work will be be-
fore the committee on claims for allowance. In
ordering this work done we have tried to be eco
nomical, but have made the repairs permanent
and have put the building in a condition that will
make it serviceable to the county for many years.
Your Trustees have only commentator for
Superintendent and Matron Mr.. and Mrs. Burrls,
for their faithful service to the county in the in
terest they take in the unfortunate under their
charge. We desire to return our sincere thanks.
Their contract with Trustees expired in April

for another year ending April II, 1912.
