NO MORE INSANE TO BE TAKEN NOW AT MILLEDGEVILLE HAVEN. CUOWDBD conditions which ex ist AT ASYLUM. Condition* There Explain Fully De lay* in Tnktnwr Inane from Chat hum Jail, n Subject Commented on l,y the brand Jury—Brief Descrip tion of Geoigia's Greatest Hnman ilnriHn Inntitntlon— I The Work of the Day—Feeding the Inmate*. In view of the recommendation of the last grand jury regarding the care of the insane confined in the Chatham county jail, and the comments on the fact that the Miliedgeville authorities have declined to receive patients in many cases Tor months after their cases have been passed upon by a jury in the Court of Ordinary, some little account of the conditions that prevail at Georgia’s great humanita rian institution may not be out of place. So crowded are the authorities that they can receive no patients in excess of the number now confined there. In formation to this effect was conveyed to the Chatham county officials in the following resolutions passed by the board of trustees: • Whereas, the cost of provisions and supplies has advanced during the present year, and •Whereas, the cost of 31 cents per capita of the patients now in the san itarium will exhaust the appropriation made for the support of the institu tion for the current year, •Resolved, That in the judgment of this board it will be impossible to maintain the institution with a number of patients in excess of the number now in the sanitarium, and that the superintendent be authorized t r decline to receive patients in ex cess of this number, and that he ex ercise the discretion vested in him in the selection of the class of patients to be received.” These resolutions were passed by the hoard of trustees, only after it was found impossible to conduct the work now going on under the present ap propriation if the number of patients should be increased. Duplicate copies of the resolutions were sent to the ordinaries of all counties as official notice of the action. Something About Sanitarium. To the majority of the people the Georgia State Sanitarium for the In sane is an institution of which little is known. It is looked upon with a vague kind of horror, and the impress sion generally prevails that it is only a large jail in which lunatics are kept until death relieves them of their suf ferings. In reality, it is one of the greatest of the philanthropic work un dertaken by the state. The sanitarium, which is situated at Miliedgeville, occupies a floor space of sixteen acres. There are eleven large buildings covering this area and each of the buildings is sub-divided into wards. There are in all seventy-two wards in the buildings, all in direct communication by telephone with the office of the superintendent, Dr. T. O. Powell. Admitting New Patient*. System prevails everywhere, even to the admitting of new patients, of whom there are many each day. Each day a physician, under the title of the physician-in-charge, together with the superintendent, receive each new pa tient. A brief examination is made, the details of the case noted, and then the patient is assigned to a division. Here he is taken in charge by a division physician and again an ex amination of his condition made. The details of his case are carefully noted, his physical condition commented on,' end he is assigned to his proper ward. Day after day this work goes on, un der experienced physicians, and the whole under the supervision of the superintendent. The physician-in charge changes daily, but the super vising officer, Dr. Powell, is always at his post. Each of the seventy-two wards has at its head a nurse and under her di rection are a special corps of nurses. Each ward has its separate office, its own medicine room, its own hospital room, and all the other requirements which go to make up a great hospital where skilled physicians seek to "min ister to a mind diseased.” The Routine of the Day*. The work at the institution is regu lar, routine duties coming each day at stated hours. At 6 o'clock the rising whistle blows and at once over 3,000 patients, with their nurses and attend ants, rise and the daily life of the great institution begins. Those who Can care for themselves are left to themselves, while the nurses turn their attention to the helpless. The imbecile, the idiot, and all classes of the mentally unbalanced, are wash ed and dressed as carefully as are the Pay patients in the large hospitals of any city. At times the scene Is ludic rous but back of the humorous side js always the pathetic, always the thought that these unfortunates are as dependent on their nurses as is the lK j' v '* )orn babe upon its mother. I he patients are then sent out Into the hallways and the grounds of the ns..muons, while their rooms are thrown wide open and thoroughly air ed. As much attention is paid to the bed rooms of these unfortunates as tnough they were owners of mansions, and every care is given them. The Serving of the Meal*. At i o’clock the call sounds for nrcakfast and the multitude of patients are fed. Thirty-nine dining rooms are required for this, and many of them are exactly similar to those of modern noteis and restaurants. Others are ntted out like the mess tents of sol dierswhere ail the utensils are of tin. In these the more dangerous are utens being used to avoid tn breaking that would follow if glass and china were put on the ta- DiCS. *U r t^ loae w hose physical condition Is , u ”h that they cannot appear at the Tables where the majority are fed, breakfast is served in their bedrooms. f." r 'his purpose small adjustable ta bles have been provided, that project across the beds, thus making eating as comfortable as possible for the inva- As modern a service is supplied ’, e * e , unfortunates as is given to the . * ln the city hospitals and nurses are constantly ln attendance to wait on their every want.

As wide a variety of edibles as possible Is Niven the Inmates, and In every case meals are of a character to which there ran he no objection. Heerentlon of tlie Inmates, During the times between the serv ing of meals the unfortunates Indulge in all manner of work and amusement. iiMise who can work are given things To do about the grounds. Others con gregate In groups about violins and j**Joc* and the enjoyment they de ■ive from the miulr seems to he as J."T**ut as that of those who are not af* "s-tciS mentally. Now and then sev •'al take the venter of the floor and the old-time break-down holds the boards. In other rooms are gathered those who refuse to dress, and these wander nude about their little hall. Here and there is the man or woman who thinks he or she is part of the animal king dom and whose utter helplessness is pitiable. Others hold weighty argu ments on questions of theology or phil osophy, and still others fight anew the battles of campaign that their more fortunate companions have forgotten ever existed. Others are pleading their causes to visitors and to the physicians, and though many of the arguments as to why they should be released are ludi crous in the extreme, back of it all there is a touch of the deepest pathos. In other parts of the buildings are the maniacs, and their violent shoutings and wild actions lend an added feeling of horror to that which comes even from the presence of the idiot and im becile, harmless but pitiable. Sanitarium Stnt i*tl<*. No better indorsement of the wise management of the large institution could be secured than the figures of the superintendent’s reports, and a comparison of them with those of similar institutions in other states. The report for the eight months end ing Jan. 1, 1904, showed that an aver age of 2,770 patients had daily received treatment. At the beginning of that period there were 2,716 patients in the institution. During the eight months 570 new ones were received and 472 discharged, making a net gain of 108. Since July 1 there have been 670 pa tients received, 242 have died, and 208 were discharged as cured. This leaves the total number now in the sanita rium, 3,044. The percentage of re coveries is 43 per cent. The insane convicts, and the crim inal insane are treated together with the other unfortunates, though recom mendations have been made, and as far as possible carried out, for their separation. There is a lack of accom modation for the treatment of tuber culosis patients, the disease of which more than half of the negro inmates die. Recoveries and Cost*. Sixty per cent, of the recoveries are due to the light employment and the amusements furnished the inmates by the authorities. Nearly 800 acres of land is being cultivated by the sani tarium, the patients doing most of the work. The per capita cost at Miliedgeville is only $.3012. Only four institutions in the country have a lower cost. Two of these receive pay patients, a thing that the Georgia institution does not do, and the third does not include the salaries of nurses, attendants, etc., in the cost, as is done at Miliedgeville. The per capita cost of some of the other sanitariums for the insane shows upon what an economic scale the Geor gia institution is run. The following are a few of them: Washington, D. C., $.759; Boston, $.585; Ward Island, N. J., $.395; Ward Island, east, $.470; Connellsville, Pa., $.865, and Warm Spring, Mont.. $.650.

Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of the blood, or anemia, is common in men and young women, and all those who work indoors, who do not get enough good ox ygen in their lungs, consequently have too many white blood corpuscles. Keep the nerves nourished, the heart strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous, the liver active with a tonic which has stood the test of time and has a wide repu tation, such as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Tonics consisting of Urge portions of alcohol, iron or coa liver oil, do not bring the desired changes in the blood, because they dorfnot enter the system and are not absorbed into the blood, with the excep tion of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red blood corpuscles when it does come in contact with them.

I can honestly recommend ‘Safe Cure.’ MICHAEL F. SHANAHAN, 146 Bradford St.. Albany, N. Y.” “Safe Cure” is a most valuable and effective tonic. It repairs the tissues, soothes inflammation and irritation, awakens the torpid liver, aids diges tion, stimulates the enfeebled organs and heals at the same time. "Safe Cure” is purely vegetable and contains no harmful drugs. It is free from sediment and is pleasant to take. You can buy "Safe Cure” at any drug store or direct. 50c and $1 a bottle. Beware of so-eallod kidney cures which are full of sediment and of bad odor—they are positively harmful and do not cure. WARNER’S SAFE PILLS move the bowels gently and aid a speedy cure.

Gaests of Mr. Peabody and Mr. Spen cer NVnnt to Foster Such n Univer sity Spirit in Georgia nn That Which Prevail* In Wisconsin— Seek Larger Appropriation* From the State Legislature—Agricultu ral Department Particularly Need* Development. Atlanta, Nov. 26.—The trustees of the State University and members of the Georgia Legislature, who went to visit the Universities of Wisconsin and and Chicago as the guests of Hon. George Foster Peabody and Samuel Spencer, returned to the city to-d‘ay, enthusiastic over their trip. Gov. Terrell, Judge S. B. Adams, Col. P. W. Meldrim, in fact all the members of the party, said that the system and methods pursued at the University of “Wisconsin were a revela tion to them. All the members of the party spoke particularly of the Agri cultural Department there and its won derful development. It is development in this department, they think, that the University of Georgia particular ly needs. There the state experiment station is a part of the state univer sity. The same is true of the state Geological Department. That the same thing would redound to the great bene fit of the Georgia University and the farmers, as well as all other classes in Georgia, they # believe there is no doubt. Judge Hamilton McWhorter was more impressed with the fact that so much money had been got from the State Legislature than anything else. But in Wisconsin there is a sentiment all over the state in favor of the uni versity, and it can get anything it w*ants. The trustees of the Georgia institution say they are going to try to build up a similar sentiment in Georgia. Fine* for Counterfeiter*. In the United States court to-day Judge W. T.

Statesboro, Ga., Nov. 26.—The cot ton crop of Bulloch county at a fair estimate will hardly exceed 1,500 bales, 8,000 of sea island and 7,000 of upland. Of this amount about 5,000 is stored by farmers and country merchants, with possibly 3,000 yet to be ginned, and in the fields. With a promise of good weather, Dec. 1 will find little in the fields. Less than 200 bales, either sea is land or upland, has been stored in the Statesboro storage warehouses thus far, against 2,000 to 8,000 bales of the previous year, and the general im pression is that this is due to an ab sence of a speculative market. The farmers are satisfied to dispose of their cotton at the prevailing prices, which has in many cases proven the best thing for all interested and especially when they have been able to sell for a profit. Statesboro Hotel Change* Hand*. Statesboro, Ga., Nov. 26.—The hotel building in which Mrs. Ida Jaeckle, has been running under the name of Drum mers Home, has passed from the hands of Mr. R. Simmons to th*at of Mr. J. W. Rountree. Mrs. Jaeckle’s lease extends to Oct. 1, 1905. NOT FOR BEST FARM In the State. “I saw so much in the papers about the wonderful cures effected by Py ramid Pile Cure I determined to give it a trial. I bought from my drug gist one 60-cent box and used it as directed, and by the time I had used the last ‘pyramid’ I was entirely cured; in four days after I began to use the ‘pyramids' all inflammation was gone. I was perfectly easy all the time, the excessive discharge stopped at once, and stools became easy and gentle. ”1 was unable to get my own fire wood for four months, and half the time when I could walk at all I had to walk half bent. I used many pile remedies, salves and ointments, all to no effect until I used one 50-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure and was cured. “I would not be afflicted as I was four months ago for the best farm in the state of Arkansas. I can give proof and reference of the wonderful cure to all who are afflicted as I was. Please publish my letter that I may advise the afflicted.”—W. E. Wallis, Piggot, Ark., Box 26. The experience of Mr. Wallis is that of thousands of others who suffer for years with the most painful forms of hemorrhoids, or piles, and after try ing everything they hear of, give up all hope of a cure and look for tem porary relief only. To all such a little book published by Pyramid Drug Cos., Marshall, Mich., brings glad tidings, as it tells all about the cause and cure of piles, and is sent free for the ask ing. >4.#% AUTOS’ that are thoroughly up-to-date in every detail, and absolutely reliable.
