kept as clean es it could be in those days.
Patieuts were admitted on the approval of in charge. Witnees hed the
privilege of refusing to ad- mit a patient if he was co disposed. He
bad no specific instruction asto the admis= sion of idiote, emleptics and encb people. He believed a physician in charge of an asylum should oe an expert in mentel dis- eaces, as wellas askilled general prac
titioner. Special knowledge regarding infanity tends to the recovery of the patient. If he were cesireus of becoming
an expert in the treatment of the insane he would take a epecial course in mental and
nervous diseases, The treatment of the insane is mede a specialy by those in charge of an
insane asylum. He would have a resident pbysican and at least one nurse trained in mental and nervous disease and competent to administer medicine. There is too much done at the asylum in the interests of economy. He was told, for instance, that too much money was spent on drugs. The people who bave charge should bave a free Land as to the expenditures and the
treatment of patients. The employes should be free from pelit:ecal control, aleo the Hoepital Board. The Board, with the medica) attendant, should te the proper persons to employ the at- tencants There is opportunity for outdoor work during the summer. Dif-
ferent Occupations have much to do with helping insane persone tcwards recovery. Provision sbould be made for the careof thesick, There sheuld be hospital ac~ commodation there for sick patients.
To Mr. Regers—He thonght the tem-~ perature for sl*eping rooms in the asylum should be between 55 and 65 degreee. A temperature of 32 degrees was rather cola. He would not want to sleepin a room where it was necessary to cover the taps to keep the water f:om freezing.
To Mr. McEachern— He thought it hard for sn atiendant to see al] the patients every bour.
Dr. F. P, Taylor followed. To Dr. Corroy he said he had been practising medicine in the city about thirty years. He had been at the asylum a good deal eome years ego but not often during the last three of four yeare. He sometimes acted for the _ regular physician during the latter's abeence. He attendei mostly to the sick patients. He did not know much about the teod. He tuought that there was about ove tenth of ibe patienis thatcould becurea. It was a mistake to mix the imcuralles and tlos- who could be cured. There were about nine tenths of the patients who did not require any special treatment inasmuch as they were incapable of cure or improve- ment. He would not favor the admission of idiots and such incurables to che asylum. Ail such wanted were clothes and food und ordinary care. He thought the medical man in charge should have a special knowledge of the treatment of insanity and be a good general practi- tioner besides. He thought 1t would be better to have a man there ‘all the time; but it might do if he lived outside and was al- ways On hand to answer telephone calls. He thouzht the employment of tro com- petent trained nurses a good idea. A man should not be hired because he was a friend of the politicians. The doctor should have power to discharge employes if they were unfit and be consulted when tppoint- ments are being made.
To Mr. Rogers—He had no special in- formation regarding insanity or the man- agement of hospitale in otker provinces. There are only about twenty people in the asylum who require special treatment. He thought Doctor Blanchard understood hie business well.
To Dr. Conroy—-In certain cases he thoughtzit was advisable for the attend- ing physician to consult with other medi- cal men inasmuch as insanity is often caused by a disease of organs other than
the brain. A record of all caees should be kept.
To Mr. ee rene is not very much compounding on the part of Mr. masaeie. He _ found Mr. McDonald competent todo ail be
wanted bimto do, Mr. McDonald he thought a very smart man, and he never knew him to make a mistake in sdminis
He did not think the patients should be witbout medical at~ ‘epdant for three or four daye ata time, but no bad consequences might come out The chauces of recovery, how-

nthe porricge fora short while ip the | epripg, Lut itis better now, The milk 's
very good now. There were often grouads
inthe miik. Sheeculd not account for
them be.ng there. Scmetimes the porridge
Is not suficently cooked, but not very often. She did not complain to the
matron about the food, The attendants | porridge is not cook¢«d in the same pot as |
that for the patients. She did not think there was anv difference made in preparing
food for patients or attendants. She never heard the patients et plain that they got
tcod while tbe attendants got good aor She did pot know that the meat was taint ed when it was brovght to the asylum. She did not think it was true that sick patients are not cared for. She believed a'l the attendants did their duty as well as they could. She uever heard the patients complain of being cold in their rooms and bever saw water freeze on the floors while scrubbiny. Sometimes the patients will throw the clothes cff themselves at night. The nigbt watch covers the patients when they do this. The watch has always to wear extra clothes at night. Some of the patients are keptin guarded rooms, but never for & whole day atatime. The beds are examined each night, ard when found to be sciled the eheets are changed. She did not know that any of the patents suf- fered from cold by reason of being confined in there guarded rocms.
To Dr. Conroy—The patients wear iwo woolen ekiits and a dress over them. They also wear woolen stockings aud echoes.
To Mr. Rogers—Never heard patients crying because of the cold nor beard that epow orrain beat in upen them in their beds.
Hon. James R.{| McLean, one of the trustees of the asylum, next gave evidence. To Mr. Rogers he eaid: The trustees
Have to visit the asylum and cee how the institution 1s managed and that everything is all right. Tliese visits are made once a@ month, as a rule, but oftener when necessary. The supplies
generally go by tender, euch as clothing, meat, flour, milk, etc. But in some cases when a better bargain can be obtained by private sale (hey are obtuired in this way. W bere the grade is good the lowest tender is accepied. When the flour did not give satisfaction the contractor, J. A. Farqu- barson, changed the brand. Meat that was not good was returned; uneatisfactory but- ter bad also been returnede They havea refrigerator at the asjlum. He has never bad any complaint from the patients re- garding the food, He had no complaints trom the supervisor regarding the conduct of the employes. He thought the appoints ment of help bad usually been left to the docter, but the Premier, Mr. Peters, may have suggestedecme. He knew of no ap- pointmenis being made because of politice,
There are conplainte this year regarding defects in the heating ap- paraius. It is contemplated to chauge the
beating and ventilating eyetem when the new wingis built. He never heard ct patients Leing cold tillthe grand jury rex ported it, He had. no knowledge of it ever being brought to bis notice that the building was not comfortable. Hethouglt the building was too emall for the number of yatients there. There are no wash basins in the rooms ; the patients wash in the bath tubs. He always thought the time spent by the doctor in the institution was in- sufficient. There was vot sufficient t'me to pay ful] attention 10 individual cases. Ii is impoesible under existing circumstan- ces to separate the idiots and people of that class from the others.
To Dr. Conroy—He always understood that male help was employed by the dector. The premier may have made suggestions. He thonghtthe salary paid the medica] superintendent was small if he was expected to give his whole attens tionto the asylum. Balls supplied the meat. Henderson transferred his contract to Balle. It migit be desiratle to have o medicel man On the board of trustees. The attention cf‘the trusteesis not drawn 10 the fact that an inmate of the institution is in danger of dying. The supervisor has on one or two cccasions reported cases of illness to him.
