director told me. The second and
most important one was the desire
for more humane treatment Of the
sick in mind as they hold that shut

increases the malady. 1t is calculat-
ed that each lunatic costs us in Eng

from 300 francs to 1000 francs per
annum 1850 to $4,000, the sum paid
depending on the position of the fam

THE colony is under the direction

six specialists. who live in separate
houses, but are not allowed any pri-

"The medical director 'nspscts this
colony at least once a year. The
members OF the permanent committee,
in two series. each pay visit once
year. The doctor in charge of the
sections visits the incurables at least
once month, while those who show
any signs of cure are visited once a
week.
in addition there are seven gardes,
who must visit all the patients of
their section at least twice a month.
while two others charged with the
hydropathic service, aid another garde

In addition to this, if necessary, other
visits are paid, the incurables being

reports to the director and meetings

"As the results of the system, it
may be of interest to mention that the
death rate has averaged about four per
cent. during the past few years. while
in England and Wales the rate has
been seven per cent for the past ten
years. With regard to reeoveries. in
