The establishment of state home
for inebriates and state colony for
epiIeptics, and the confinement of
idiots and imbeciIes in county insti-
tutions are recommended in the bien-
NAL report of DR.. Charles GOrst, super
intendent of the Mendoza state hos.
pital for the insane, just transmitted
to the board of control at Mad
lson. DR.. Gorst was formerly a resi-
dent of Baraboo. Daring the last BIZ
ennial period DR.. GOrst found that
1851 per cent of the male patients
committed belong to the alcoholic
class, and that 8 percent are epileptic.
The report is the most exhaustive
analysis of the causes of insanity
ever filed with the board. Disre-
garding previous methods of CLASH
fication, DR.. Gorst has made an indie
pendent investigation of each case.
OF the 1929 patents admitted to the
Mendoza hospital in 1911-1913, DR..
Gorst found that 1918 percent of
those admitted in 1911 and I4.74 per
cent admitted in 1912 suffered from
aIcoho lism. This is an average per
centage for the two years of 1851.
