To the Board of Di1' ectors:

GENTLElIEN- In conformity with the law governing this insti­tution

I submit thi , my · tenth annual report. In 0 doing, I

must express my regret that the re ult , a indicated hy the

per centage. of recoveries, . are not a favorable a In t year;

though this is accqunted for by the fact that a large number of

old, incurable ca e from the Central AAylum, in addition to the

usual number from our own county, were admitted during the

year. In regard to the admission of patient from the Cen­tral

Asylum we were, I think, rather unfairly dealt with; or,

at all events, my understanding of the arrangement and term

of taking them wa very different from what wa actually done

in the matter.

When the Central Asylum wn de troyed by fire we agreed,

in order to accommodate the authoritie of that institution, to

take charge of a certain number of their patient until some

other provision could be made for them; and a it would crowd

our institution and greatly inoonvenience u , and it wa an

accommodation to them simply, and not a matter of right or

obligation on our part, it was distinctly agreed upon and under­stood

that old, incurable ca es should not be sent here, but only

those that there was some hope of curing, or, at lea t, greatly

benefiting, within a reasonably short time. It seemed nothing

more than right that, if our institution wa to be crowded and

our own patients incommoded by the reception of tho a from

abroad, every po ible mean should be u ed for hortening the

time during which we must suffer these inconvenience . Much

might have been done to this end by sending to u only recent

and curable ca es, and letting the rest go to other. in titutions.

This was certainly I my understanding of the terms upon

which we agreed to take patients from the Central Dis­trict,

and it still seems to me nothing more than what

was reasonable and proper. Instead of this being done,

almost the opposite course was pursued, and the recent,

curableicases were sent to the other state institutions, while

we have been burdened with the care of incurables, who

.

LONGVIEW ASYLUM, 7

remain a burden upon the county, until their recovery or death,

with reasonable degree of certainty that their di charge will

only be by death.

In consequence of the e unfavorable circumstance, cau ing

an unusually large number of chronic ca e to be thrown upon

our hands, the per centage of recoverie this year i unu ually

low; but making due allowance for the e unfavorable circum­stances,

our re ult have been quite ati factory, bot; h with

, regard to mortality and recoveries.

The following is a brief ummary'of the re nIts of the year:

Patients remaining at the close of Ill. t year, 425; of th e

219 were male, 206 female. During the year 334 were

admitted- 169 ma. les, 165 female - being an increa e of 1 5 on

the admi ions of last year. Of the whole number, 7 wore

placed in the in titution by their ft'iend , by the county com­mi

ioners, and 172 wet'e committed by order of court; 135 were

received f,' om toe Central Di trict- 63 male and 72 female.

Of the e, 53 were di charged, 27 male and 26 female ; leaving

83, of whom 36 are male aud 47 female. . From previou

admi ions there were transferred 3 female to the Central

Asylum account, making a total of 86, or 36 male and 50

female. From the tate at large, 12 colored patien were

received; 8 males and 4 femaieR. From pI'eviou admi iVIf,

one colored male wa eran ferred to thi account, making a

total of 13; of which 9 were males, 4 female. Total on tate

account, 99; male 45, female 54.

During the year, 248 patient have beon di charged; 179

cured; 10 improved; 59 died. Of tho e cured 96 were male,

83 females; j mproved, 4 male, 6 females; died, 33 male, 26

females. Rate of mortali ty on number treated, 7.77; per cent­age

of cures on admis. ions, 59.52, being 1 per cent. lower than

the previous year; and the rate of mortality i about 1 per

cent. higher. The death were from di ea e of long standing,

the greate t number fl'om consumption.

Endemic dysentery prevailed in the urrounding country,

and aloin the institution, during the cour e of the year. The

disease appeared fir t in the 7th female ward, and then pread

through the whole hou e. Patient, attendants and officors

were affected, and some of the en es were very evere, but none

proved fatal. Small pox prevailed very extensively in Cinpin­"

nati, and also in our iJllmediate neighborhood, and two of the

employes of the in titution, a male and a female, w, ere attacked.

By promptly vaccinating the entire hou ehold, the further

8 TENTH ANNUAL REPORT

spread of the di ea e wa prevented. About one- half of those

vaccinated were affected by it to some extent, and about one­fourth

had the true vaccine disea e, passing regularly through

all its stages.

The greatest number of inmates at anyone time was 562,

being 101 more than at any time the previous year. The least

number at anytime was 425, being] 8 more than the leastnum­ber

the year previou. Greate t number of males, 292; great­est

number of female , 2 O. Least number of males, 219; lea t

number of females, 206. Daily average for the year, 510.3] ;

being 79.71 more than the year previou. Readmitted, 18;

males 9, females 9; being 4 Ie than the year before.

Cost of each patient, 235.42 per annum, $ 4.45 per week.

In this connection, I deem it proper to notice the report of

the Board of tate Chari tie , in which compari ons are made

between this and other in titutions of a similar character with '

regard to co t, mortality, ratio of recoveries, etc.

The impre. ion conveyed by this report in regard to this

institution are ' entirely incorrect, and one tatement made in

it is alone sufficient to di credit the whole of thi portion of the

report. I refer to the as ertioD that none of the patients \

received from the old Lick Run and Southern Ohio Asylums

had ' died. I pre ume no one i expected to believe thi ) for

almo t all of the e were ca e of long ' tanding, many of them

already quite old and infirm when received.

This statement wa ) of course, not made with any intention

of mi leadi- ng, or of tating anything that was not trictly true,

but wa certainly made without dut) deliberation and investi ­gation-

a thing which ought not to occur in 0 important a

report. The only ground for uch a mi take, that I can see, is

a very hasty glance at the table of di chat'ged, cured and died

in each month. This table commence with the numbers

received from the Lick Run and Southern Ohio A ylum , or, in

other word , tho e patient with whom the institution was

opened. Below thi , the deaths, etc., for each month are given,

without specifying whether the e death occurred among

patients received from the asylums, or tho e committed by

court or by fl'iends, or in any other way.

Of course some of the fatal cn e were of those received at

the opening of the institution from the a ylu~ s mentioned.

Some were received in Ja. nuary, and many deaths in January

are mentioned. In February, March, April, M! ty, and all of

the months of the year following, deaths are recorded, some

LONGVIEW ASYLUM. 9

perhap from tho e received at the opening, others from patients

received afterward, and no di tinction is made in the report.

Similar, though not uch gro s inaccuracies with regard to

other matter occur in the report; a for example, the compar­ison

of co t of medicine, maintenance, etc. The cost of med­icines

in Longview seems large a compared with others,

becau e the medicines are bought not in the crude form, but

manufactured into extract, tincture, etc., 0 that they are con­venient

to di pen e, and no apothecary is required to concoct

and manufacture the different preparation , and 0 the alary

is aved. As far a regard liquors, they are to some extent

used in the place of timulatinO' articles of food. The result

is that taking all expense together, the co t i below the

average of all the a ylums in the tate, and the recoveries,

excluding the old chronic ca e received from other a ylums, is

ab() ve the average. The mortality ha been omewhat greater

than the average, but this is readily accounted for by the num­ber

of old case received, and the more enfeebled condition of

tho e from a large city and its neighborhood a compared with

the rllml di trict.. The summing up of the whole matter

make a very different showing from what appeal' in tho

report of the Board. The total expen e i Ie than the aver­age,

the recoverie are above the average, as are al 0 the deaths.

Taking into con ideration our proximity to a large city, which,

of eour e, increase the price of all article ' of food, and furni hes

us with a more debilitated and broken down o1a s of patients,

it eems to me that our re ults are favorable, and Iluite encour­aging,

whereas the report of the Board, without explanation,

would give exactly the oppo ite impre ion. I repeat, that I

dQ not charge, or believe, that there was any intention of doing

inju tice to our in titution, or to any other, but I do think that

the report wa gotten up ha tily, and without that amount of

care and consideration that ought alway~ to be devoted to a

document of 0 much importance, and that is likely to be so

much relied on and quoted as unque tionable authority on the

ubjects of which it treats.

I can not avoid noticing in thi connection, the report for

1868, of the Board of Public Charities, inasmuch a it, in my

opinion, doe gro s injustice to this in titution. I do not mean to

accuse the Board of intentionally doing anything that was not

right, for I believe the members of the Board to be upright and

honorable men, incapable of such an act, but through ha te or

10 T. E TH ANNUAL REPORT

inadvertence, they have given the anction of their name to

statement entirely incorrect.

The compari on between Longview and imilar in titutions,

is such a to give inaccurate impr ion to the prejudice of the

former with reaard to expen e , both gene1,' al and pecial, a

medicine, etc. That tbere i ome mi take about the relative

cost, is shown by tbe fact of the tate authoritie contracting

to pay for the patients ent from the Central Di trict to Long­view,

a higber price than what i reported a the co t for tbe

former inmate, and a very muth higher rate tban that of other

a ylum which appear from their reports to be able to upport

patients at Ie s co t than tho e of Longview. It eems trange

that the Auditor of tate, who e e timate is formed from the

reports of all the a ylum of tbe tate, should make it higher

tban the actual co t at Longview.

Another point wherein there i a very gro error, i that of

tbe mortality of the incurable received from tbe old Lick Run

A ylum, and it i tated in tbe report of the Board of State

Cbaritie , that none of th e have died in nine year, and it i

strange that a tatement a improbable bould have been made

without diligent inquiry a to its cor. rectne .

We have carried out everal much needed improvement

during the year. A table, ico, and milk- hou e have been built

at an expen e of 22,000. A burglar alarm attached to the afe

and loading to my room. A new pUl'ifier ho. been put in the

go. hou e, and two bencbe of retort . In the male ide, fourth

story, an iron fioor 11~ by 12 feet has been put down, al a a

bath- tub, water- cia et, hopper and wa h bowl, and the same

improvement have been made on the female ide, and 76 feet

of 6 inch oil pipe ha been put in. There ha been upplied

360 feet 2 inch ho e to each win'" of the building, leading from

main building to each extremity of the wing, and 550 feet inch

ho e ha been upplied to each of the three tories of the t. er­minatinO"

portion of each winO". The th female wll. l'd ho. been

upplied with an iron floor to pantry, 500 feet wrought iron

pipe for hot and coLd water to tabLe, and 4 0 feet 1 inch pipe,

for gas, have been laid down.

[ rhe entire main building and l'Otunda ha been fre coed, in

a very beautiful and acceptable manner, by Mr. Cbarle Wild.

The colored department of the in titution ha been very

much impl'oved and enlarged by tb er ction of a moke tack,

14 by 13 foet diameter, au ide at ba e, feet clear, 45 feet high,

inclo ing an iron cbimney 36 inche in diameter, and 55 feet

LONGVIEW ASYLUM. I I

high, the pace around erving for the ventilation of the build­ing.

A cellar ha been dug 52 feet by 25, and 10 feet deep,

with tone wall 30 inche thick. A ix flued boiler, 18 feet

long, has been put in, and coil of iron team pipe through tbe

wbole hon e, giving a beating surface of 526 feet. A ci tern

bas been made 9 feet deep, by 16 diameter, witb capacity of 484

barrels, and the bouse a it i now, will compare favorably with

any of the fir t · class in titutions of' the kind in the country.

Under a ; recent law of the legi lature, colored in ane from any

part of the state are ' received, and we have no\ v abundant room

and convonient applia" Ilee for their treatment.

Some amendment to the law in regard to erving legal pro­ce

e on patients, is, in my opinion, very de irable. As it now

stand, the execution is almo t a farce. Take for example, the

ca e of a wife wbo ha been drive" II in ane by the brutal treat­ment

of her hu band, and be applie for a divorce, and ha bel'

subpcnaed while under restraint at the a ylum, to appear at

court on a certain day. he bemg locked up, can not come, or

if he should, the excitement, anxiety, and trouble would have

a very trong influence in increasing the di order of her mind.

If he obey the nmmon, bel' evidence will not be received,

and she will be injured a far a regards her di ell. e. If' she

doe not, ihe suit goes by default. I do not feel , entirely com­petent

to ay exactly whai the form of the law hould be, but

would ugge t that the writ bo served upon tbe uperintendent,

and allow him to make a return upon which the court could

take uch action as wonld ecure the rights of the in ane pel' on.

I desiro al 0 to again renew my ugge tion with regard to the

propriety of some legi tation in behalf of those uffering from

the effect of an inordinate appetite for tron'" drink. I am the

mOl1e urgent in my desire for omething to be done for thi cia s of

patient, a I have been, and still am in the receipt of so many re­que

ts from both friends and the patientsthemselve f01' admi ion

to our asylum, or for ome other relief beyond moral nil. ion,

rem on trance offriend , prayer and entreatie of relaiive , and

such other means a are now available. None but tho 0 whobave

charge of such an institution, bave any idea of the number and

earnestne s of the e reque t. Tbe amount of evil. and suffer­ing

that might be aved by appropriate mea ures taken for the

reliof of the e unfortunate one, can ' 8cal'oely be : real ized. : Many

of the e reque ts . are in behalf of some of both exe, of ' the

be t and brightestjntel1ect , great . acquirements, highest social

po ition, andJgreate t usefulness in the community. So common

12 TENTH ANNUAL REPORT

is it to have these requests come from this class, that it seems

as though this vice was most prevalent among those whd appear

most proteoted from, and least liable to it.

A ide from the benefit to the individuals themselves who are

snffering from this evil, and to their immediate friends and rela­tive

, theremoval ofa bad moral example from the community, the

prevention ofwa te of means andsquanderingofe tates, and even

the prevention of the greatest crimes, all call for some effort

stronger and more efficient than has yet been made, to rescue

these unhappy victims from their be etting sin. I will not say

exactly what should, or ought to be done, but I am convinced

by an experience of year, that the enactment of a judicious

law for the benefit of inebriates. would result in a much good

as the be t and mo t efficient of our Il ylum for the insane.

This law might be such a sugge ted in my last report, pro­viding

for the application of private mean to the end sought,

if not thought advisable to use the public funds for thi pur.

po e, and e pecially providing for the 1' e traint for a certain

definite time of such patient as are deemed fit ubjects for an

inebriate a ylum.

It i absolutely nece ary for the accomplishment of any per ·

manent good re ult, that the patient should remain not only

until the immediate effects of intemperance have pa ed away,

but until the strong, almo t irre istible appetit for liqllor is

entirely or nearly subdued, and their habit and a sociations

brokon up. As the law tand at present, there is no way of

r estraining these patient after they have temporarily recovered

their self- control.

N otwith tanding the stigma which re t upon those who have

been inmates of an inebriate a ylum, we do not find much

repugnance on the part of patient to go into them, and none

at all on the part of their friend. This i fa!' from being the

case with regard to in ane asylums, for not only the patients,

but their friend, have a great repugnance to committing them

to tho e places whcre only they can be p!' operly treated, and

where, if anywhere, they have a pro pecp of recovery. The

rea on for thi difference may be found partly in the different

mental condition of the two clas e of cases, but depends prin ­cipally

upon the tro. ditional idea of " mad- hou es," which has

been in tilled into the mind of the people at large, by pictures

and storie. pro e and poetry, for years and generations, and

invested with a romantic hOl'ror, which impre ses so deeply

LONGVIEW ASYLUM. 13

as to prevent its being lost or eradicated by any subsequent

impre ions.

This old popular idea of a lunatic asylum as a place of terror,

of chains and whips, pains, torture, and unutterable woe, was in

former times correct. For in those good old time that we hear

so much of from the men" who have come down to us from a

former genel'ation," the idea of torture was much more familiar

than in these degenerate days, and it was not only considered I'

quite the thing to torture a man into the confe sion ( perhaps

false) of a crime, but to burn one at the stake for the glory of

God and the crime of having differed in religious belief from tho

pa'rty in power. It is no wonder, then, that madmen who were

considered by some as po sessed of devils and by others as being

simply obstinate and wicked, without any demoniacal po session,

should have applied to them the same ( or similar) means of per­suasion

and reformation that were used in cases of difference of

faith or di regard of the rights of property. Thus it came that

partly from a want of understanding of the disease and the

knowledge of a better way of treatment, and partly from the

barbarous habits and customs of the time which hardened the

hearts of men to their suffering fellow creatures, the insane

were treated worse, if pos ible, than criminals, and the attempt

was made to coerce them into acting like reasonable being, and

by severity and brute force to repress the manifestations of dis­ordered

intellects. The treatment of these poor creatures was

horrible, and resulted in the aggravation of the disea e, render-ing

many of them incurable who might under judicious treat-ment

have speedily recovered; torturing without effect those

who were already in the lowest stages of insanity, and · shorten-ing

the lives of all. In addition to the evils wrought upon the

insane, there were others, affecting even tho e of sound mind

who happened to stand in tho way of some unscrupulous heir, .

or be in possession of knowledge dangerous to other persons, or

who were for any cause desired out of the way by' parties pos-sessed

of fllll purses and small or no conscience. Seclusion in

a lunatic asylum was a safe and easy way of di posing of all

such troublesome or dangerous customers. No one can over

know how many have been thus disposed, nor imagine the suf­fetings

undergone by them. Enough, however, has been ascer-tained

to form the foundation of many thrilling stories and

scenos for striking though melancholy pictures, and thus the

impression has been made and perpetuated that lunatic asylums

were places full of unimaginable horrors, and that no one should

TEl'lTH ANNUAL REPORT

be put into them except as 8; la t resort, and when n() J other means

were found sufficient for the protection of the patient and those

about him from his own violence. This opinion, erroneous as

it is, has been productive of great ha~' m. by keeping insane per­son

away from the only mean a. t all likely to restore them to

reason so long that they become uncontrollable, and by the

lap e of time and injudicious management the disease is so

firmly fixed, and deeply- seated, that it can not be cured by any

treatment.

In order that tbe public sbould be di abu ed in regard to the

real condition and management of our asylums, and the preju­dice

against them removed, it is only nece ary to circulate

freely and widely correct accounts of the mode of treatment

practiced, and the arrangement and urroundings of these insti­tution.

The pr~ judice again t them wouJd be speedily removed

if it were generally under tood that the treatmont was of tbe

milde t and most ootbing kind; that no punishment is ever

u ed, that tbe re traint i only ju t enough to secure the safety

of the patient and tho e about him, that every exe. li'tion is made

to promote the comfort and happine s of the inmates, and that

persuasive mea ures are' so effective that it is carcely ever

necessary or even expedient to u e force, and many of them

are placed in more agreeable conditions than they ever enjoyed

before, with the exception of the pal, tial deprivation of the

society of their friends and relatives. In our institution, for

example, in tead of whips, chains, dungeons, manacle, cold,

starvation, stench, filth, and all that can make life uncomfortable,

desolate and dreary, there are birds, flowers, ~ re hair, wat'mth,

exercise, nouri hing and palatable food, amusements of various

kinds, mu ie, book, newspapers, games, all that can divert thtl

mind and make life comfortable and plea ant, <> far as is

con istent with the nece ary medical treatment. Could a

knowledge of the true tate of things, the really delightful

surroundings, be widely disseminated, the reluctance to · end

friends or relatives sufferinO' from mental di ea e to an asylum

would be done away with; patieuts would be sent at an early

stage of the di ease, and their chance ot recovery increa ed ten­fold..

Let people once understand that this is II> home and not a

prison, that there i not only security, but enjoyment during ~ be

continuance of' the di ell. e, and they will tben cheerfully con­sent

to wha. t they now re ist a~ long as po sible.

The best, and I may say the only way of accompli hing this

is by making the public generally acquainted with the real ch8. l'-

•

LONGVIEW ASYLUM.

acter of our In titution, and it is the duty of every one con­nected

with it to diffu e thi knowledge widely as pos ible,

even though it should look like vanity. Nor would I confine

this duty to tho e who are officially connected with the in titu­tion.

All who have visited it and know its advantages should

a far as possible make them known to others, and every citi­zen

of the South- western Di trict should take a pride in point­ing

out the advantages and facilities' for treatment enjoyed by

our a ylum.

There was an appropriation of 28,000 made for the sup ·

port of the patient from the Central Di trict in Longview, as

as will be seen by the foregoing statement. There had been

expended 14,268.39, up to October 1; 1869, leaving a balancee

of 13,731.61, and it will require a further appropriation of

15,000 to carry us through next year.

Of the sum of 10,000 appropriated for the support of the

colored insane of tho state outside of the Longview District,

there has been expended 960.~ 8 up to October 1, leaving a bal­al!

ce of 9,039.12, and it is not probable that any further appro­priation

will be necessary.

The increased number of patients this year over former years

is due to the fact of our receiving patients from the Central Dis­trict,

and not to an increase of insanity. Deducting those

16 TENTH ANNUAL REPORT

received from the Central District from the whole number, and

we have about the same a la t year.

In conclusion, I desire to return my thanks to the Board ef

Directors, who by their uniform kindness and courte y at all

times, and their advice and support when needed, have mate­rially

lightened my labors and greatly assisted in making the

fulfillment of my duties a pleasure.

To my Assistant, Dr. Courtright, I am also greatly indebted

for the zeal and efficiency he has displayed in performing not

only his usual duties, but for those additional one which

devolved upon him in consequence of sickne s prevailing in the

house during part of the year.

The Steward, Mr. Thorburn, and the Engineer, Mr. Stickney,

also deserve especial mention for the care and attention shown

and efficiency di played in their departments. The employes

of the institution also deserve mention for their prompt and

cheerful attention to their everal duties.

I desire to return my thanks to the publishers of the Oatholic

T elegraph for furnishing the institution with the paper during

the past year.

Weare also under obligations to Mr. Thos. H. Foulds, post­master,

for newspapers furni hed during the year. To Col. A.

D. Bullock, for pictures; and Mr. Strauch for Christmas tree,

etc.
