V - Ladies and Htntlflmea pf tbaoaacH of the Charily Organization society: I am grateful for this epportunity to report of the present condition of the Indiana Hospital for.the Jns&net . as I feel . that a wider knowledge of our public institutions and a kindly interest manifested toward them by people generally would be of ad vantage to both. In this , paper-1 shall' only attempt a hastily prepared- description - of things thät kave com utder toy own observation as 'a lf-djljid visitor, and io place before you a few thoughts that have grown out of my j experience, hoping thereby to assist io preparing the way to a better understanding. In obtaiaing information pertaining t ,.,.. . TUB INIMAHA INSANE ASYLUM, I have bad the best of opportunities. For the past three year we have had free access to - all ' partr- of -the institution. During nearly the whole ofthat time we have been there twice a week and at all hours of the lay. . We , have ever been treated with- the utaaosi courtesy by officers and attendants , Erery avenue to information has been open to us. Our visit, however, have been confined chiefly to the woman's department and to the better wards, I have little personal knowlese of the men'g department, and for statistical' information must refer you to ''The Annual Keport of the Superintendent," which is now , duo. The building now occupied by the woman's department is beautifully situated, well constructed, and conveniently arranged. It is divided into twenty-four ward, twenty-one of which are now occupied. Each ward accommodates thirty patients, with two, sometimes threo, attendants in charge. The different- apartments, wards, etc., are comfortably heated by steam, and admirably ventilated. The windows are so arranged thrt i each one admits the sunshine at some honr during the day.- ' There is now abundance of pure water, and every facility for bathing, and the promotion of cleanliness , is . provided. The sleeping-rooms aro of good size, and very comfortably arranged. They aro mostly adapted to the use of but one person. The largest dormitories contain but two or three beds each: The beds and bedding aro of good quality, and are kept in the best of order. A well-lighted dii.- g-room is attached to each ward, and the food is plentiful, of good variety, and is nicely cooked and brought on in a palatable condition. The tea and couTee arc prepared in the dining-rooms, and are certainly of a very good quality The tablo appointments aro good, and everything, when not in use, is "neat and clean. Tbe dish-washing is done in the diningrooms. In this work, as well as in the care of the sleeping-room, th attendants are assisted by such of tbe patients as are able and to whom the exercise may be beneficial. PEMALK ATTENDANTS. There has been, heretofore, a scarcity of intelligent feiu il. supervision, but any criticism on that point is prevented by the fact that three additional supervisors have just take? their places. There are now two ward supervisors proper, and a supervisor of clothing, whose duty will be to look after the clothing of the patients and attend to all correspondence with friends on that subject, and this will supply ft, long-felt want.. A lady bf refinement and good judgment has the general charge of tbe whole. - When these persons become 'adjusted to their positions there will be' little left to wish for in the way of improvement, except what will naturally grow out of such an arrangracnt; as women of intelligence and aknowledge oT" household duties," with time, and power, will fiud many little ways of adding to the usefulness of the institution, especially in the way of furnishing 6uitatle occupation for the inmates. Many attendants have been very successful in interesting their patients by encouraging them in the manufacture of different articles of fancy-work, for themselves or for the ornamentation of their wards. It is interesting to note the many improvements for alleviating the monotony ot confinement in this asylum. The wards are so arranged, with alcoves and open panel in the doors of sleeping-ronis, that the feeling of being prisoners is almost dispelled. The walli, in many ward, are hung with pictures, and bright curtains give them a pleasant, liome-liko appearance. Tbe curtains might well t dispensed with, except in sickrooms or x posed bedrooms, as nothing, in my opinion, is so cht-cring as plenty of sunlight and a good view ot earth and sky. In place of the stitf chairs and settles formerly used there are comfortable chairs, lounges and rockers. There are also in the better wards pianos ami organs. " The benefit resulting from this taute alone is immeasurable. It was our fortune to be present when a piano was intiodueed into a ward of mostly chronic patients. Their inexpressible delight when one of their own number awakened the instrument into harmonious tones will never be forgotten, and although this was one what is called a back ward,' so sabered has the instrument been considered that in three years' time it has not received the least it jury at tbf ir hands. THK EFFECT F MUSIC .. The beneficial eff- cts of music are fully appreciated by the olucers in . charge, and concerts and lilc entertainments are frequently provided. To Mrs. lloers we are indebted for the presence of flowers nd plants in the wards. This adds greatly t-j tbe pleasure of both patient and - attendant. :They are generally cared for by pntients who have a laste for tbnr cultivation. And through this means me are led to a belter understanding of lite. Patients who art coutndlable are taken to stroll about the beautiful grounds generally-twice each day in summer, and whenever tha weather will permit in winter. They are also permitted to visit the Icitcherr, the general dining -room the laundry and the stwin-room. These visits are esteemed a privilege, as is also the permission to assist in the duties of these departments. '.";'v .w. . - '.' : , . ' -.1 MODES Or RK8TRAINT. Witb relation tothe restraints,' of which 'we near so much, I have "seen in useThe "bracelet,, ""th restraining chair," and the'

crjD, ' wua very lew exceptions, in a way

to make me feel that theyrere'B,urnane and bcnclall have teen', patients- free go about the. wards, with their hands confined by leather bracelets, ;whjwould otherwise o necessity have been confined to their rooms, in order , that they might not injur their companions. As soon as their excitement is 'over, they are .liberated, and I have never ßcea ay ill-feeling manifested toward attendants on, account of their use. ' . The restraining chair, too, is comfortable, and .very useful ' in the care of estless patients," who are liable to wear themselves out with constant movement. I have Been patients confined in the crib. This is simply an enlarged infant's crib, with slats across the top, and from the fact that patients do not speak of it with dread, I am of the opinion, tljprt its use tevnldotn abased.' However, as attendants become better informed as to their duties, and patients gainconfidene and respect for tbem, the use of ' restraints is less general, , and . are seldom needed, except for new and-very excitable paticntsW e sometime? hear comment pa the want of "religious exercises'' in these, institutions. The great . difficulty in finding clergymen who have, sufficient knowledge of the natura of Insanity to be able to adapt their discourse to the peculiar needs of these people, many ' of 'whom are insane from doctrinal perplexities, has induced the present Superintendent to dispense with religious exercises altogether." There exists, however, in my ' imagination, a chaplain so " imbued with the spirit of Christ that . bis very presence in the w ard would bring a blessing. His kindly pressure of the hand, hi3 cheerful, hopeful manner, with an occasional reading of suitable texts of Scripture and a few words of prayer, would carry healing to many minds who are brought to their present state more from a misunderstanding of their true relation to the Almighty Father than from bodily disease. And I feel like saying this I have never yet seen a case so hopeless but that I could, in the wretched sufferer, by patient kindness catch at intervals instant glimpses of the "Image of the Father." And I am bound to believe that proper medical treatment is necessary, "to iIiq greater number of cases, vet there are some who can

only be reached through the heart. I think, too, that merely devotional exercises would bo profitable to nearly all the controllable patients. The kindest- and roost humane treatment is required of tbe attendant, and the many instances of tho'" expression ot kindly: feeling between patients and attendants is proof that the order is obeyed.. ' And, indeed, thero is an air of pleasant understanding and cheerful good-will parvading the whole house, which is very grateful to the sensitive visitor. . SMALLER BUILDINGS PREFER A Hi K. It has been our lot, within the last ten years, to know something of different hospitals for the insane, both public and private, and we are well satisfied that at the present time this one is certainly, all things considered, equal to the best. The Stute has, we think, made a great mistake in erecting so large a building. A number of smaller buildings so arranged that each ward could have access to an out-door garden, or balcony even, would have been preferable. There aro many advantages in such a plan which I will not stop to name. Still, alarge majority of the persons confined here are much more comfortable than they could possibly be at their own homes, even with reason restored; and many have no homes or friends. To all such tbe good of the institution is beyond estimate. In the last year's time the present buMding (though erected) has been prepared for occupancy, the patients removed thereto.and their number almost doubled by the addition of illconditioned and disorderly patients trom County poor-houses. This great increase of numbers has necessitated the employment of a large number of inexperienced attendants, which has greatly added to the perplexities of the situation. You will readily seo that institutions of this kind should not bo at tbe play of partisans, and whatever you can do as a society or as individuals to prevent this will be truly charitable work. 1 PROFESSIONAL CHARITIES. There is a tendency in this age to what may be termed "pr fessional charity," which, except as it serves to stir up the people to thought on subjects of this kind, is productive of much harm. As one who has made this matter a study for years, I would sav, that while int-lligent and kindly criticism is often helpful, the fault-finding spirit, which assumes that all such institutions med reforming, when the critic, perhaps, has never been inside the walls of but few of them, shows an ignorance of true "Christian charity," to say the least, and I have found too, that no knowledge derived frtm books ca l take away the necessity of actual experience in judging of th so things. The fact that your society exists for the purposo of informing your elv a and others on tbe subjects of this kind is proof that the world is awakening to an appreciation of their importance. When the thought of making a report of this kind occurred to me it was merely with a view to interest our "society of visitors" in becoming better acquainted with the management of our city benevolent institutions, with which our duties frequently biingus into contact. It has been suggested, however, that this was the proper place to sub-. mit such a paper. If I have said anything that will help to bring about a better understanding of this one - public institution," I Lthall be most happy, and your time will have been well spent. lut of whatever use this informal report may be to you, to me it has become one more opportunity for the furthering of the object of my life, the amelioration of the condition of the insane, and the BWlhing of the agony of their suffering friends. For this I have fought against disease, and husbanded my strength. For this cause am I here. The thought of those friends and discharged patients 'has been uppermost in my mind in making this report, which is strictly in accordance ' with the facts as they now stand. BAD EFFECT OF CUASOE. But to the suffering and distress brought alout by the sudden sweeping political reVolution of eigeteen months ago I wish to call your earnest attention. I will not take up your time, or harrow your feelings by any description of the evils of such a coarse. Your own juJgment willenable y utose thtt where scores of ambitious persons are placed in position entirely through party influence, without regard totheir fitness to properly fill lb-m, that instance of gross neglect or even rm-lty would be likely to ensue, and though Providence has intervened, and fortb'v sake of suffering innocence brought good out of thi great evil, lie will not hold us guiltless if we ailently allow such a course to aain bo carried into effect My friends, I say we are not guiltless in tbat, for all these years this institution has been lelt to party influence, without question whether all things were as they should be or not. Nor are we free ' from blame that we have permitted the innocent alike with the guilty to go out into the world, tainted with the breath of fuapicion. Is faithfulness to dut, and bonesty-of purpose I of so littl- value in this great oov.ntry that 4 if a l .1- - - - we can auora to aotniK i - Khiill we. "the ieoole' bv WRr6 moneV I these institutions are kept in existence, -stand

idlyly and see" them degraded td ittoh base purpoaeel, - r ; f ?. Join with me now in this appeal o the justice and humanity of the now victorious party, which Las ever been first fn gkrieus deeds, and insist that honest worth and true competency shall alone decide the appointments to be made under their control. . A PLEA FOR XON-PARTISAX . , XDMINISTRAtiox. : Suffering and wrong most be unavoidable until some influence, moral ' or legal, is brought to lear by which this matter can be taken out of tbe hands cf designing politicians and so arranged tbat removals can only be made for just cause, and some wise supervision be made for securing correct knowledge of the internal affairs of such institutions, to. that abuses may not grow to such an extent as to necessitate these abrupt changes. This is a subject upon which I ask your lst thought, and whether it is better to give every effort towards securing the appointments of competent and incorruptible officers, and by upholding them seek to promote confidence between officers and people, and ' so carry out . the intention of the present law, or to attempt to rearrange and put in force other laws on this subject, is a matter of such great importance that it would be unfaithful to the duty imposed upon me by this opportunity if I did not urge your immediate attention' thereto. Already the gloom of the coming cjoud is affecting the atmos phere of the Hospital for the insane. Perhaps nowhere else is there as much at stake. Every unea?y or anxious thought of physicians or attendants will be reflected on the sensitive minds of the helpless patients. Already selfish, hungry eyes, are looking toward a comfortable position here, and stealthy subtle influences are at work laying coil after coil. Some day when you are resting in your comfortable homes the coils will be tightened. M Gentlemen, upon you, because of your added privileges, rests heavily this, and like responsibilities. - Yet, I too, like you, am an instrument, however weak, in God's hands. ' an I look, without flinching, into the trustful, beseeching faces of ihoso upon whose innocent heads tbe weight ot tbisduaster must fall, if I did not thus publicly t. peal to you? No, after the whirlwind of tbe exc.tement of the past few months, in the stillness which follows the late storm of rejoicing, there comes to me the ''still small voice," like a memory of the Christian training of years gone by, but which I know comes directly from my Father and yours: Open thy mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed unto destruction." Jly heart echoes the command. With a Superintendent who did not seek the place, but accepted it because of his interest in nervous diseases, a gentleman whose character is above reproach, and whose every move has been toward improvement, we have nothing to fear but that a blind political influence may rcfolve again into chaos the hard work of the past eighteen months. And if my full sense of the importance of the situation (affecting as it does all public institutions), shall have so permeated my words as to encourage you, each one, not only to consider but to do the thing nearest him in this matter, I shall go back with renewed strength to that retired, yet to me exalted position, wherein I have the power to look into the souls of these God-stricken ones, and so learning their needs, am able to minister unto them of that portion from the blaster's table which is mine to bestow. -

After using one bottle I was free from all pain, and although this was three years ago, I have seen no trace of disease and have not had to take any medicine since. I believe Hunt's Remedy to be the best kidney and liver medicine ever known." . - .
