NINETEENTH  ANNUAL   REPORT 


TRUSTEES   OF  THE   STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 


DECEMBER,   1851, 


To  His  Excellency  the  Governor  and  the  Honorable  Council : 

The  Trustees  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Lunatic  Hospital,  in  com- 
pliance with  that  injunction  of  official  duty  which  requires  an  "Annual 
Report  of  the  Condition  of  the  Hospital  and  its  Concerns,"  have  the 
honor  to  submit  the  following  communication  : — 

This  humane  and  eminently  beneficent  Institution  has  now  been  in 
operation  for  nearly  the  fifth  part  of  a  century.  The  same  philan- 
thropic spirit  which  prompted  the  Government  of  the  Commonwealth 
to  its  establishment,  has  been  constantly  since  manifested  in  liberal 
appropriations  for  its  improvement,  and  in  the  increase  of  well  devised 
means  for  its  usefulness.  Private  benevolence,  also,  has  not  unfre- 
quently  been  exercised  in  fostering  its  interests,  and  greatly  extending 
the  sphere  of  its  influence.  Eminently  skilful  and  experienced  pro- 
fessional men,  from  the  first,  have  been  engaged  in  its  management, 
and  whatever  of  relief,  or  comfort,  or  solace,  could  be  made  to  result 
from  sympathizing  care  or  a  tender  sensibility,  has,  at  all  times,  been 
freely  administered  to  "  the  mind  diseased,"  to  soothe  the  violence  of 
the  frantic,  and  assuage  the  melancholy  of  the  desponding  of  its  un- 
happy patients.  Over  all,  the  blessing  of  a  gracious  Providence  has 
been  continually  and  most  signally  vouchsafed  to  its  uninterrupted 
prosperity.  A  recurrence  to  the  annual  Reports  of  the  preceding 
eighteen  years,  will  serve  to  show  with  what  degree  of  satisfaction 
we  should  now  regard  the  counsels  and  labors  of  those  devoted  public 
servants,  who,  in  times  past,  have  had  the  more  immediate  conduct  of 
this  noble  endowment  of  charity,  and  how  great  the  obligation  to 
gratitude  and  thanksgiving  for  that  Divine  Beneficence,  which  has

given  to  outward  means  so  large  a  measure  of  success  in  alleviating 
the  saddest  affliction  of  humanity. 

In  the  review  of  the  past  year,  it  is  not  the  least  gratifying  consid- 
eration that  there  has  been  no  change,  nor  occasion  to  desire  change, 
of  any  of  the  principal  officers  or  agents  of  the  establishment.  The 
accomplished  Superintendent,  giving,  as  ever,  his  head  and  his  heart, 
as  his  labor  and  his  time,  to  the  arduous  and  fearfully  responsible 
duties  of  his  place, — with  his  skilful  and  attentive  Assistants,  the  Rev- 
erend Chaplain,  the  efficient  and  provident  Steward,  the  judicious 
Matron,  the  watchful  and  compassionate  Supervisors,  the  diligent 
Clerk,  and  the  able  and  accurate  Treasurer,  have  continued  to  ex- 
ercise their  respective  offices  with  accustomed  fidelity,  and  with  the 
higher  qualifications  and  capacities  for  usefulness,  which  opportunities 
for  enlarged  observation  and  added  experience  could  not  fail  to  impart. 
Indeed,  so  true  to  duty,  and  so  acceptable  in  its  performance,  have  all 
connected  with  the  Hospital  proved,  that  scarce  a  change  has  been 
had,  even  among  the  Subordinates  ;  and,  as  a  natural  consequence,  all 
has  been  harmony,  mutual  confidence,  and  earnest  cooperation.  For 
circiimstances  so  satisfactory  in  the  past,  and  so  auspicious  for  the 
future,  the  Institution  is,  in  a  great  degree,  indebted  to  the  wise  coun- 
sels, the  patient  temper,  and  the  kind  and  affectionate  demeanor  of 
that  truly  great  and  good  man,  now  no  more,  who  first  gave  order  and 
direction  to  the  management  of  its  concerns,  and  built  up  this  fairer 
than  marble  monument  to  his  own  enduring  name  and  memory ;  and 
to  his  yet  only  Successor,  who,  in  the  light  of  his  instruction  and 
example,  and  by  his  own  unceasing  personal  observation  and  enlarged 
experience,  so  worthily  and  successfully  continues  the  superintendence 
of  its  great  and  complicated  interests. 

Although  this  establishment  is  still  over-crowded  with  patients,  far 
beyond  its  desirable  means  of  accommodation,  yet  the  completion  and 
occupation,  the  last  season,  of  the  additional  number  of  strong  rooms 
to  the  south  Johonnot  wing,  and  the  measures  more  recently  taken  by 
the  Government  for  the  erection  of  another  Hospital,  have  precluded 
the  thought  of  a  further  enlargement  of  the  present  buildings.  In  the 
judgment  of  those  professionally  best  qualified  to  decide  on  such  sub- 
jects, this  Institution  is  already  extended  to  the  utmost  limit  at  which  it 
should  be  left  under  one  superintendence.  Indeed,  it  may  well  be 
hoped,  that,  in  the  capacities  of  the  new  establishment,  the  pressure 
now  so  necessary  upon  the  accommodations  here,  may  be  materially  re- 
lieved ;  and  by  a  proper  classification  of  the  patients,  and  a  more  entire 
separation  of  the  classes,  affording  better  opportunity  for  their  appropri- 
ate management,  the  higher  purposes  of  the  Hospital,  in  its  remedial  and 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  5 

curative  influences,  may  be  more  fully  accomplished.  The  Trustees 
would  especially  sanction,  by  their  approval,  the  suggestion  of  the 
Superintendent  in  his  Report,  that  Hospitals  for  the  reception  of  male 
and  female  patients  should  be  entirely  separate,  and  the  control  and 
management  of  them  more  peculiarly  adapted  to  the  treatment  of  the 
sexes  respectively.  It  sui'ely  needs  not  the  expi'ession  of  feeling  or  of 
sentiment,  to  enforce  those  obvious  considerations,  which  give  weight 
to  the  recommendation. 

For  several  years  past,  the  enclosure  of  the  principal  grounds  of 
the  establishment  has  been  unsatisfactory,  from  the  original  imper- 
fect construction  of  the  fences,  their  rapid  decay,  and  more  espe- 
cially, the  dilapidated  condition  of  the  wall  on  the  line  of  the  street, 
in  front  of  the  buildings.  This  wall  had  twice  been  partially  repaired, 
at  very  considerable  expense,  and  it  had  become  again  manifest  that 
a  further  heavy  outlay  would  be  required  to  preserve  it  from  entire 
prostration,  and  for  the  effectual  protection  of  the  grounds  and  the 
beautiful  belting  of  trees,  which  it  was  mainly  designed  to  defend. 
The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  last  and  preceding  years,  had  advised 
to  its  thorough  reconstruction,  but  postponed  engaging  in  the  work 
until  the  additions  and  improvements  then  going  on  upon  the  buildings, 
should  be  completed.  In  the  mean  time,  the  danger  of  the  falling  of 
the  wall  and  the  consequent  exposure  of  the  high  embankment  resting 
against  it,  to  slide  from  its  position,  urgently  prompted  to  the  com- 
mencement of  the  labor,  while  faithful  estimates  of  the  expense,  and 
just  regard  to  eventual  economy,  dictated  the  propriety  of  its  erection 
in  the  most  substantial  and  permanent  manner.  Accordingly,  under 
the  more  immediate  direction  and  supervision  of  the  Trustees  resident 
in  the  city  of  Worcester,  aided  by  the  advice  and  personal  attention  of 
the  Superintendent,  a  new  and  massive  wall,  on  a  foundation  broad  and 
deeply  laid  in  the  earth,  and  rising  to  a  suitable  height,  in  dimension 
courses  of  unhammered  stone,  has  been  constructed  along  the  whole 
line  of  the  land  of  the  Government,  on  Summer  street ;  and  fences, 
of  stone  posts  set  firmly  in  the  ground,  with  rails  of  durable  wood 
secured  to  the  posts  by  iron  clasps  and  bolts  and  covered  with  strong 
paling,  have  been  made,  to  enclose  the  land  on  every  other  side.  The 
opportunity  afforded,  by  the  excavation  for  the  foundation  of  the  wall, 
for  the  procurement  of  earth,  was  improved  to  widen  and  make  con- 
venient an  Avenue  from  the  public  road  to  the  yard  and  rear  of  the 
buildings,  and  thus  permit  the  discontinuance  of  a  former  passage- 
way, through  which  the  establishment  had  been  subject  to  much 
mischievous  intrusion  from  without,  and  the  patients  to  annoyance 
and  exciting  communications  in  their  exercises  and  employments,  and

under  the  very  windows  of  their  apartments.  The  accumulated  bal- 
ances, reserved  partly  for  this  especial  purpose,  have  been  found 
sufficient  to  meet  all  the  expense  thus  incurred,  without  asking  for 
any  additional  appropriation  by  the  Government.  And  the  Trustees 
may  now  express  a  confident  assurance,  that,  without  further  cost, 
except  in  the  inconsiderable  charge  of  an  occasional  coat  of  paint  to 
the  wooden  rails  and  paling,  these  spacious  buildings,  with  their  costly 
improvements  and  adjacent  grounds  of  rich  cultivation  and  ornament, 
covering  an  area  of  more  than  twelve  acres  of  land,  have  received  an 
outward  protection,  as  enduring  as  the  beautiful  eminence  which  pre- 
sents to  the  view,  from  every  side,  the  attractive  and  commanding 
site  of  this  noble  Institution. 

In  the  course  of  the  season,  gas  lights,  which  had  been  partially 
introduced  the  last  year,  have  been  extended  through  other  parts  of 
the  buildings.  Experience  has  shown,  that  although  this  description 
of  light  is  more  expensive  than  the  consumption  of  oil,  yet  its  greater 
cleanliness  and  convenience  in  use,  and  its  pleasant  and  cheering 
influence  upon  the  patients,  abundantly  justifies  its  substitution. 

On  one  of  the  southern  wings,  over  the  halls  of  the  male  depart- 
ment, the  recent  application  of  a  large  ventilator  has  served  to  remove 
the  offensive  odor  of  the  contiguous  rooms,  and,  in  a  great  degree, 
give  circulation  to  fresh  and  pure  air.  Some  considerable  changes 
in  the  position  and  construction  of  the  water  closets  and  bathing  rooms 
have  also  proved  highly  satisfactory.  Occasions  for  alterations  and 
improvements  in  such  an  establishment  are  continually  occurring,  and 
require  unceasing  attention  and  care.  Notwithstanding  all  prudent 
precautions,  insanity,  at  one  moment  quiet  and  apparently  subdued, 
will  suddenly  manifest  itself  in  paroxysms  of  violence,  and  while  the 
wretched  maniac  is  to  be  restrained,  the  mischief  he  has  unconsciously 
committed  remains  to  be  repaired.  The  direction  in  all  these  matters 
has  fallen  within  the  personal  care  of  the  Superintendent,  who,  in  his 
regard  to  the  infinite  diversity  of  the  duties  of  his  office,  gives  but 
renewed  proofs  of  his  untiring  industry  and  fidelity. 

The  farming  concerns  of  the  past  year  appear  to  the  resident  Trus- 
tees, under  whose  observation  they  have  been  more  immediately  con- 
ducted, to  have  been  well  and  successfully  managed.  Much  labor  has 
been  done  upon  the  land  in  the  cultivation  of  farm  and  garden,  and 
the  products,  of  which  the  steward's  books  exhibit  a  particular  account, 
have  been  bountiful.  The  importance  of  furnishing  healthy  employ- 
ment in  the  open  air  to  such  of  the  patients  as  can  be  induced  to  work, 
cannot  be  overstated,  and  the  Trustees,  under  the  promptings  of  their 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  7 

experience,  cannot  forbear  to  reiterate  the  admonition  of  the  Superin- 
tendent, that,  in  the  arrangements  for  the  new  Hospital,  ample  fields 
be  provided  for  the  recreation,  exercise  and  occupation  of  all  its  in- 
mates, amid  rural  scenes  and  in  congenial  employments. 

The  Report  of  the  Superintendent  to  the  Trustees,  which  will  be 
submitted  herewith,  alike  for  the  information  of  your  Excellency  and 
of  the  Legislature,  is  so  full  and  so  minute  in  its  details,  in  respect  to 
the  character  and  condition  of  the  patients,  and  whatever  relates  to 
their  treatment,  the  number  of  admissions  and  discharges,  and  of  those 
who  remain,  as  wholly  to  have  anticipated  the  occasion,  if  not  to  pre- 
clude the  propriety,  of  any  further  notice  of  these  topics,  by  us.  The 
"  thorough  visitations  of  the  Hospital,  monthly,  by  one  or  more  of  the 
Trustees,"  enjoined  by  law,  have  scrupulously  been  attended  to  by 
ioth  of  the  Trustees  residing  in  the  city  of  Worcester,  and  the  records 
contain  "  a  written  account  of  the  state  of  the  institution,  drawn  up" 
at  the  time  of  each  visit.  These  visitations  have  been  made  at  irregu- 
lar periods  in  the  month,  at  different  hours  of  the  day,  and  at  all  times, 
without  notice  or  previous  expectation  on  the  part  of  the  officers,  that 
no  preparation  might  be  made  to  receive  them,  and  thus  the  usual 
treatment  and  condition  of  the  patients  might  be  the  better  seen  and 
understood  by  the  visitors.  Whatever  was  found  satisfactory  was  ap- 
proved, while  if  anything  seemed  to  admit  of  improvement  it  was  as 
freely  suggested.  In  addition,  other  members  of  the  Board,  who  from 
distance,  or  engagements  elsewhere,  were  prevented  opportunities  for 
so  frequent  inspection,  have  occasionally  given  their  presence  at  the 
Hospital,  and  placed  on  the  records  the  results  of  their  observation. 
And  now,  at  the  close  of  the  year,  these  recorded  testimonies  have 
been  brought  to  the  consideration  of  a  majority  of  the  Board,  in  its 
annual  meeting,  and  thus  fulfilled  the  requirements  of  this  portion  of 
our  assigned  duty. 

The  average  number  of  patients,  through  the  months  of  the  year, 
is  found  to  have  been  462,  being  an  excess  of  22  over  the  average 
number  of  the  year  1850.  The  number  admitted  during  the  year 
was  263,  and  the  number  discharged  238,  of  which  latter,  39  were  by 
death.  Notwithstanding  this  apparently  large  amount  of  mortality, 
the  general  state  of  health  in  the  Hospital  has  been  singularly  good. 
There  has  been  no  appearance  of  epidemic  disease,  and  few  instances 
of  acute  attack  or  distressing  sickness,  but  the  ordinary  laws  of  nature, 
age  and  wasting  debility,  here,  as  everywhere,  have  done  their  ac- 
customed office.  When  it  is  considered,  as  is  the  fact,  that  many  per- 
sons of  abused  lives  and  exhausted  constitutions,  of  bodily  as  of  men- 


8  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

tal  imbecility,  and  of  mania  brought  on  by  vicious  indulgence  or  by 
remorse  for  crime,  are  committed  to  this  Hospital,  but  to  be  cared  for 
during  a  brief  season  of  languishment  without  hope  of  relief,  and  then 
to  be  buried  at  the  public  charge,  the  wonder  is,  that  so  few,  rather 
than  so  many,  yearly  die.  It  is  not  a  rare  occurrence,  that  subjects, 
not  for  cure,  but  for  care  and  nursing  only,  reach  the  Hospital  in  the 
last  stages  of  existence,  and  a  few  short  days,  or  weeks  it  may  be, 
add  their  names  to  the  lists  of  mortality.  Whether  such  manifest 
perversion  of  the  purposes  of  the  establishment,  so  prejudicial  to  its 
character,  and  so  injurious  to  its  usefulness  as  a  curative  institution, 
should  be  restrained  by  legislation,  is  not  for  the  Trustees  to  decide. 
As  the  law  now  is,  the  Superintendent  must  receive  all,  who  are  sent 
under  the  forms  of  authority,  to  his  custody,  without  liberty  to  exclude 
any,  however  improper  objects  they  may  be  of  his  charge. 

Another  unhappy  feature  in  the  present  aspect  of  the  institution,  is 
the  great  number  of  old  confirmed  chronic  cases,  which  afford  no 
chance  for  improvement.  These  continue  from  year  to  year,  and  are 
constantly  augmenting,  until,  ere  long,  in  their  increase  by  more  fre- 
quent commitments  than  removals,  unless  different  provision  is  made 
for  their  safe  keeping,  all  the  accommodations  of  the  place  will  come 
to  be  occupied  by  a  hospital  of  incurables.  It  will  be  seen  by  the 
tables  of  the  Superintendent,  that  of  the  116  recent  cases,  of  less  than 
one  year''s  continuance,  91  were  restored,  and  12  improved  ;  while  13 
only  were  pronounced  incurable.  What  force  of  motive  does  not  the 
contemplation  of  these  facts  present  for  preserving  the  accommoda- 
tions and  capacities  of  the  institution  undiminished,  for  the  reception 
and  treatment  of  such  as  may  he  restored  to  soundness  and  usefulness, 
through  admission  to  its  privileges  ? 

The  Report  of  the  last  year  presented  to  the  notice  of  the  Govern- 
ment the  very  serious  consideration  of  the  disproportionate  number  of 
foreign  paupers,  who  found  support  here,  at  the  charge  of  the  treasury 
of  the  Commonwealth.  This  burden  is  increasing  in  startling  amount 
and  rapidity.  Its  progression  has  been  constant  and  uninterrupted  for 
several  years  past.  In  1846,  the  number  of  State  paupers  remaining 
in  the  Hospital,  at  the  end  of  the  year,  was  52  ;  in  1847,  it  was  121 ; 
in  1848,  150  ;  in  1849,  167  ;  in  1850,  181  ;  and  now,  in  December, 
1851,  it  has  risen  to  208,  or  more  than  tioo  fifths  of  the  whole  number 
of  patients  in  the  institution!  By  a  statement  of  the  treasurer,  we 
are  informed,  that  the  payments  by  the  State  for  the  support  of  these 
paupers  were,  in  1847,  $11,828  90  ;  in  1848,  $13,259  46  ;  in  1849, 
),729  42  ;  in  1850,  $17,580  69  ;  while  the  estimate  for  the  pres- 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  9 

ent  year  (1851)  is  set  down  at  the  enormous  sum  of  twentp'one  thou- 
sand dollars  !  thus  showing  an  increase  of  expense,  from  year  to  year, 
corresponding  with  the  advanced  number  of  this  continually  increasing 
class  of  patients.  That  the  grossest  impositions  are  practised  upon 
the  country,  in  the  introduction  from  abroad  of  the  abjectly  poor  and 
miserably  helpless,  with  no  other  purpose  than  to  obtain  for  them  sup- 
port in  our  public  charitable  institutions,  is  sufficiently  notorious  ;  and 
instances  are  not  wanting,  within  the  walls  of  this  Hospital,  of  persons, 
insane  or  imbecile  from  birth  or  early  life,  who  have  been  exported 
from  other  States  to  find  food  and  protection  here.  Of  the  263  admis- 
sions, the  past  year,  87  were  foreigners,  or  persons  having  no  legal 
settlement  within  the  Commonwealth.  Of  these,  57  only  have  been 
discharged,  leaving  a  balance  of  30  to  be  added  to  the  accumulated 
mass  of  former  years.  That  many  of  these  miserable  beings  have 
never  been  taught  even  the  decencies  of  life,  is  certain.  That  some 
were  vicious  and  depraved  before  their  derangement,  is  most  probable. 
And  in  the  pre-occupation  of  our  halls,  to  any  greater  extent,  by  sub- 
jects of  this  description,  it  may  well  be  feared,  that  the  friends  of  the 
insane,  among  the  respectable  of  our  own  fellow-citizens,  will  not  wil- 
lingly expose  them  to  such  association.  Some  correction  must  soon 
be  applied  to  this  great  and  growing  evil.  To  arrest  it  seasonably, 
demands  an  exercise  of  the  profoundest  wisdom  of  the  Legislature. 

The  large  progressive  increase  of  patients  since  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees last  reduced  the  charge  for  their  support,  in  1849,  has  given  an 
excess  of  income  over  expenditure,  and  left  an  unanticipated  balance 
in  the  hands  of  the  Treasurer.  The  aggregate  cost  of  supporting  the 
Institution  is  not  in  an  exact  ratio  with  increasing  numbers,  for  while 
the  accommodations  of  all  are  necessarily  abridged  by  a  crowded 
hospital,  the  proportionate  cost  of  maintaining  each  is  somewhat  les- 
sened. The  difference  made  by  few  or  many,  is  seen,  rather  in  the 
measure  of  care  and  attention  which  can  be  bestowed  upon  them 
individually,  and  the  comforts  which  they  are  allowed,  than  in  the 
mere  price  of  their  living.  But  the  more  favorable  terms  upon  which 
large  supplies  can  be  procured,  and  the  practice  which  is  habitual  with 
the  Steward,  of  paying  for  them  as  soon  as  furnished,  with  a  more  ex- 
tended knowledge  abroad  of  the  demands  of  the  Hospital  and  the 
market  it  affords,  have  given  opportunities  for  savings,  of  late  years, 
which  previously  could  not  have  been  effected.  The  Trustees  thus 
find  it  in  their  power  to  propose  a  reduction  in  the  charge  for  the  sup- 
port of  patients,  after  the  first  of  January  next,  by  diminishing  the 
price  for  State  paupers,  confined  less  than  three  months,  from  two  dol-

lars  and  fifty  cents  to  two  dollars  and  twenty-five  cents  per  week,  and 
fixing  the  charge  for  those  of  longer  continuance,  and  all  others, 
at  the  uniform  rate  of  two  dollai's,  instead  of  two  dollars  and  twenty- 
five  cents,  as  heretofore.  A  largei*  reduction,  though  it  might  be 
effected  by  applying  the  whole  existing  balance  in  the  hands  of  the 
Treasurer  to  meet  the  expenses  of  the  ensuing  year,  would  be  putting 
the  price  below  the  actual  cost  of  support,  and  thus  create  a  necessity, 
after  this  balance  was  exhausted,  of  again  raising  the  charge,  a  meas- 
ure oft  times  difficult  and  always  objectionable.  Besides,  the  contin- 
gent expenses  of  such  an  Institution  can  never  be  accurately  estimated, 
in  advance.  New  and  unlocked  for  occasions  for  outlay  are  continu-^ 
ally  presented.  And,  at  this  time,  the  Avenue  to  the  buildings,  in  the 
rear,  remains  to  be  completed  ;  the  waste  water  from  the  drains  and 
cess-pools  must  be  more  effectually  disposed  of,  to  remove  what  is 
becoming  greatly  offensive  ;  the  damp  passage-ways  in  the  cellars  and 
low  basements  should  be  laid  with  flagging-stone,  or  some  hard  sub- 
stance impervious  to  water,  and  conveniences  and  accommodations 
added  to  the  buildings  of  earliest  construction,  which  attention  to  the 
relief  of  more  pressing  wants  has  hitherto  prevented.  The  farm 
grounds  require  improvement,  by  better  fences,  the  removal  of  stones, 
draining,  and  higher  cultivation.  A  new  carriage  is  needed  for  the 
use  of  invalid  female  patients,  and  additional  implements  of  labor  are 
to  be  procured.  Much  of  all  these,  in  the  appropriations  of  the  bal- 
ance on  hand,  may  be  assigned  to  the  acquisitions  of  the  coming  year. 
In  conclusion,  the  Trustees  again  refer  to  the  able  Report  of  the 
Superintendent,  to  his  carefully-prepared  and  minute  statistical  tables, 
the  result  of  personal  observation  and  experience,  and  his  judicious 
and  instructive  remarks  illustrative  and  explanatory  of  the  facts  which 
they  exhibit,  for  all  that  is  most  interesting  in  the  history  of  the  past  and 
present  condition  of  the  Hospital.  This  Institution  has  indeed  proved 
a  BLESSED  CHARITY.  The  Sympathies  of  all  good  men  are  with  its 
ministrations,  and  the  prayers  of  all  will  be  for  the  fullest  accomplish- 
jtnent  of  its  humane  and  greatly  beneficent  ends.

SUPERINTENDENT'S   EEPORT. 


Nineteenth  Annual  Report  of  the  Superintendent  to  the  Trustees  of  the 
State  Lunatic  Hospital. 

Gentlemen, — -In  reviewing  the  events  of  the  past  year,  we  have 
great  and  renewed  cause  to  be  grateful  to  Him  who  overrules  all 
things,  that  its  former  prosperity  and  happiness  have  been  continued 
to  this  large  family.  Although  there  has  been  no  especial  event  to 
mark  its  progress,  it  has  been  a  year  of  labor  and  responsibility  to 
those  entrusted  with  the  direction  and  management  of  its  affairs,  of 
freedom  from  all  malignant  epidemics,  and  of  I'ecovery  of  a  fair  pro- 
portion of  those  who  have  here  sought  relief  from  their  mental  troubles. 
In  our  duties  we  have  not  only  been  counselled  and  advised  in  our 
difficulties,  but  we  have  been  cheered  on  in  our  trials,  by  the  frequent 
attention  and  countenance  of  some  members  of  your  Board.  All 
favors  asked  of  you  have  been  readily  granted,  and  all  our  wants  sup- 
plied. If,  therefore,  there  has  been  any  wrong  done,  or  any  lack  of 
success  in  the  management  of  the  Hospital,  it  did  not  arise  from  any 
want  of  attention  on  your  part. 

My  assistants  in  the  various  departments  have  generally  been  ready 
and  prompt  to  perform  their  several  duties.  We  have  a  corps  of 
sixty-seven,  of  the  most  respectable,  worthy  and  active  persons,  en- 
*  gaged  in  the  various  duties  of  the  Hospital.  There  are  none  in  the 
community  more  so.  More  than  thirty  of  whom  are  employed  wholly 
as  nurses  and  constant  companions  of  the  insane.  Their  duties  are 
peculiarly  delicate  and  responsible,  and  on  whom  the  good  name  and 
success  of  the  Hospital  very  much  depends.  Too  much  praise  can 
hardly  be  bestowed  on  those  who  carry  out  faithfully  the  law  of  love 
and  kindness  to  the  unfortunate  patients  under  their  care,  and  such  are 
the  only  proper  companions  for  the  unfortunate  insane. 

In  view  of  the  prospects  of  the  Second  Hospital's  going  into  opera- 
tion ere  long,  it  may  not  be  improper  for  me  here  to  renew  some  sug- 
gestions made  in  my  report  to  your  Board  in  1848,  in  which  a  separa- 
tion of  the  sexes  in  distinct  establishments  was  deemed  by  me  desira- 
ble. There  are  some  advantages  in  having  the  insane  in  an  institution 
all  of  one  sex,  and  few  or  no  disadvantages.     Three  small  hospitals, 


14  ^  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

in  different  sections  of  the  State,  would  have  some  advantages  over  a 
large  one.  The  third  Hospital  will  undoubtedly  be  called  for  within 
a  few  years,  by  the  increase  among  the  people  of  this  Commonwealth, 
and  by  the  importation  from  abroad  of  the  insane.  If  it  shall  be 
deemed  advisable  to  place  the  sexes  in  different  hospitals,  it  will  be 
proper  that  this  subject  should  claim  some  attention  soon.  This  Hos- 
pital is  becoming  so  much  surrounded  and  hemmed  in  by  the  rapid 
growth  of  this  city,  that  its  farming  operations  are  already  and  will  be 
more  and  more  restricted.  If  this  Hospital  was  a  mile  further  off 
from  the  centre  of  the  population  of  this  city,  our  male  patients  would 
have  more  freedom  in  their  work  and  exercise.  The  labor  of  the 
male  patients  on  the  land  is  not  only  healthful  and  curative  but  is  profit- 
able. New  institutions  should  secure  all  the  land  they  may  ever 
want  as  one  of  the  pre-requisites  of  location  in  any  place. 

On  the  subject  of  the  proper  classification  of  the  insane  in  hospitals, 
Doct.  Jacobi,  Director  of  the  Institution  for  the  Insane,  at  Seigburg, 
Germany,  in  his  work  "  On  the  Construction  and  Management  of  In- 
stitutions for  the  Insane,"  says,  "  That  the  insane  of  the  two  sexes 
should  be  separated  in  these  institutions,  and,  indeed,  that  the  separa- 
tion should  be  so  entire  that  not  only  all  communication  between  the 
patients,  but  also  between  the  personal  attendants,  should  be  strictly 
prevented,  is  an  object  of  so  much  consequence,  while,  at  the  same 
time,  the  difficulty  of  effecting  such  a  separation  in  an  institution  open 
to  both  sexes  is  so  great,  and  the  difference  of  the  arrangements  requisite 
for  the  two  sexes,  especially  with  respect  to  occupation  and  mainte- 
nance, as  well  as  with  respect  to  many  other  matters  in  the  nursing,  is 
so  considerable  that  it  is  very  desirable  that  there  should  be  entirely 
distinct  institutions  for  the  two  sexes  where  it  is  possible.  This  sepa- 
ration into  entirely  distinct  institutions  can  at  least  be  effected  in  those 
districts  which  contain,  within  their  limits,  so  great  a  number  of  the 
insane  of  both  sexes  as  to  make  an  institution  common  to  both  too 
extensive.  In  Paris,  they  have  the  Bicetre  and  Salpetriere  standing 
near  one  another.  Under  other  circumstances,  economical  considera- 
tions generally  lead  to  the  reception  of  the  two  sexes  into  a  common 
institution  under  one  direction  and  management,  the  separation  being 
kept  as  entire  as  is  practicable." 

The  propriety  of  separating  the  sexes  in  hospitals  entirely  distinct 
will  hardly  be  questioned,  I  suppose,  by  those  most  practically  ac- 
quainted with  their  management  in  hospitals  for  the  insane.  If  then 
this  great  and  leading  feature  in  the  classification  of  the  insane  in  her 
public  hospitals  is  to  be  adopted,  some  modifications  from  the  usual 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  15 

arrangements  should  not  be  lost  sight  of  in  the  new  hospital.  For  an 
institution  for  males  wholly,  a  larger  tract  of  land  would  be  almost 
necessary,  and  the  custodial  arrangements  should  be  more  substantial 
than  would  be  necessary  or  desirable  for  an  institution  to  be  occupied 
by  females  only.  When  the  two  or  three  additional  hospitals,  which 
the  public  want  will  in  a  few  years  demand,  shall  be  erected  in  the 
different  sections  of  this  State,  then  they  may  be  devoted  to  one  sex 
and  this  Hospital  to  the  other.  Such  an  arrangement  would  at  once 
double  the  means  of  classification  in  each  of  the  institutions. 

As  our  Hospitals  now  are,  each  makes  essentially  two  hospitals  under 
one  roof.  On  most  occasions  the  sexes  are  kept  as  separate  as  is 
practicable.

38  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

The  county  of  Worcester  has  furnished  about  one  hundred  per  cent, 
more  inmates  to  this  Hospital  than  any  other  county  according  to  the 
number  of  its  population.  This  is  to  be  accounted  for  from  the  more 
intimate  knowledge  the  inhabitants  in  this  immediate  vicinity  have  of 
the  institution,  and  from  the  greater  facility  of  its  access.* 

Statistics  show  that  some  parts  of  the  State  are  more  healthy  than 
others.  Rural  districts  are  more  healthy  than  cities.  Artizans  of  cer- 
tain trades  are  more  liable  to  diseases,  and  do  not  live  as  long  as  the 
tiller  of  the  soil.  A  large  majority  of  the  male  population  of  Worces- 
ter County  ai'e  engaged  in  husbandry,  and  the  females  are  largely 
engaged  in  domestic  duties  and  the  cares  of  the  household,  which  is 
one  of  the  most  healthful  duties  within  their  sphere.  Children  are  not 
taken  into  the  account,  for  they  enjoy  an  immunity  nearly  perfect 
from  this  scourge  of  the  mind. 

That  section  of  the  State  where  the  '^*  Second  Hospital  for  the  In- 
sane" has  been  located,  has,  however,  always  furnished  her  full  quota 
of  patients,  after  deducting  Worcester  County.  When  that  Hospital 
is  completed  it  will  undoubtedly  have  a  material  influence  in  lessening 
the  number  of  admissions  here.  That  section  of  the  State  is  the  least 
well  accommodated  by  this  Hospital  of  any.  The  access  to  it  from 
that  quarter  is  the  most  difficult.  The  southeastern  part  of  the  State, 
including  Norfolk  County,  has  in  this  Hospital  now  about  one  hundred 
and  fifty  inmates.  The  removal  of  that  number  would  give  our 
crowded  family  a  long  wished  for  relief.  Then  we  shall  be  able  to 
discontinue  the  use  of  seventeen  rooms  designed  for  and  occupied  by 
the  more  violent  class.  These  rooms  are  as  good  as  they  were  when 
erected.  But  they  have  not  all  the  requisites  for  the  purposes  to 
which  they  are  put,  that  rooms  for  a  similar  use,  more  recently  erected, 
have.  The  necessity  occasioned  by  our  crowded  house  has  hitherto 
compelled  us  to  occupy  them.  Then  too  there  will  be,  it  is  hoped,  a 
little  breathing  time  from  our  now  crowded  state,  to  do  some  more 
of  repairs  in  the  galleries  occupied  by  patients. 

*  About  ten  per  cent,  of  those  committed  from  Worcester  County  were  accidentally  thei?© 
when  sent  to  the  Hospital.

The  number  of  admissions  has  been  about  an  average  for  the  eight 
years  past.  But  the  number  left  at  the  end  of  the  year  has  been 
almost  uniformly  larger.     Two  hundred  and  sixty-three  were  admitted

STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 


and  four  hundred  and  sixty-six  remain  at  the  close  of  the  year.  There 
is  a  class  in  this  institution  growing  larger  every  year.  It  is  made  up 
mostly  of  the  destitute  who  have  no  friends  to  assist  them,  and,  unless  - 
they  recover  so  as  to  take  care  of  themselves,  they  remain  in  the 
Hospital.  They  are  improper  subjects  for  almshouses,  but  still,  if 
they  had  relatives  able  to  support  them,  many  of  them,  after  a  suffi- 
cient trial  for  their  recovery  or  during  the  lucid  intervals,  would  be 
taken  back  into  private  families,  to  be  got  along  with  there  as  best 
they  could.

By  this  table,  it  is  shown  that  the  number  of  residents  and  the  aver- 
age number  of  patients  have  been  constantly  increasing.  The  increase 
has  been  more  than  one  hundred  over  the  average  number  five  years 
ago.     The  past  year  the  average  has  been  four  hundred  and  sixty-two. 

When  I  took  charge  of  the  Hospital,  July  1st,  1846,  the  rooms  were 
all  occupied,  and  we  thought  it  crowded.  Since  then,  thirty-six  addi- 
tional rooms  have  been  built  and  six  of  the  former  ones  have  not  been 
used  of  late. 

The  expenses  this  year  have  been  considerably  enhanced  by  our 
being  able  to  accomplish  several  permanent  improvements  which  had- 
become  necessary.  The  Treasurer's  accounts  show  a  large  item  under 
the  head  of  improvement  and  repairs.

street,  was  such  that  a  part  of  it  would  undoubtedly  have  been  thrown 
out  by  the  frosts  of  another  winter.  A  most  substantial  bank  wall, 
eight  hundred  ninety-seven  and  a  half  feet  long,  has  been  set  in  place 
of  the  old  one.     The  new  wall  is,  on  the  average,  fourteen  inches

more  on  the  Hospital  land  than  the  old  one,  and  fronts  on  the  county 
commissioners'  line  of  the  street  as  surveyed  in  1888.  The  founda- 
tion is  three  and  a  half  feet  deep,  and  is,  most  of  the  length,  made  of 
large  stones,  five  feet  long,  laid  cross-w^ise,  reaching  from  front  tOf 
back  of  the  w^all.  Above  the  foundations  the  stones  are  all  laid  in 
New  Jersey  cement,  and  all  crevices  grouted  so  as  to  form  one  solid 
mass.  Above  ground  it  show^s  a  face  of  four  courses  of  split  North- 
bridge  granite.  The  two  lower  courses  are  each  eighteen  inches  thick 
and  the  two  upper  ones  are  sixteen  inches.  From  the  foundation 
stones  to  the  surface,  the  wall  is  about  four  feet  thick,  then  up  two 
courses  of  the  face  it  is  nearly  three  and  a  half  feet  thick,  and  from 
the  third  course  to  the  top  it  is  two  and  a  half  feet  thick. 

To  correspond  with  this  new  vv^all  a  flight  of  eighteen  new  steps,  ten 
feet  long,  and  buttresses  eighteen  inches  thick,  of  stone  from  the  same 
quarry  as  the  face  of  the  wall,  have  been  substituted  for  the  old  one. 
The  steps  rise  each  eight  inches  and  have  a  tread  of  thirteen  inches. 
The  steps  and  buttresses  are  hammered. 

In  the  face  of  this  wall  and  in  the  headers  there  are  8,724  cubic 
feet  of  stone.

A  picket  fence,  2,160  feet  long,  which,  with  the  bank  wall  above 
mentioned,  surrounds  the  thirteen  acres  on  which  the  Hospital  stands, 
and  which  was  presented  by  the  inhabitants  of  this  city  to  the  Com- 
monwealth, has  also  been  built.  The  posts  of  this  fence  are  of  stone, 
and  were  quarried  in  Northbridge.  They  are  split  eight  inches  square 
at  the  top  and  eight  by  twelve  inches  at  the  bottom.  They  are  set 
four  feet  out  of  ground  and  four  feet  in  the  ground,  except  seventy-five 
in  the  clayey  soil  on  the  northeast  side  of  the  lot,  which  are  set  five 
feet  in  the  ground.  They  are  placed  eight  feet  apart.  The  bottom 
rails,  which  are  two  inches  by  seven,  are  laid  in  iron  hooks  on  the  front 
face  of  the  posts,  fastened  in  three  inches  with  melted  lead.  The 
other  rails,  which  are  two  inches  by  seven,  are  held  on  the  beveled 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  45 

top  of  the  posts  by  an  iron  bolt,  which  does  not  come  up  through  the 
rail.  The  pickets  are  six  feet  long,  one  inch  and  seven  eighths  wide 
by  one  inch  and  a  half  thick,  sharpened  down  nine  inches.  The  lum- 
ber for  the  rails  and  pickets  is  all  of  the  first  quality  white  pine,  and 
of  Canada  growth,  costing  $32  per  thousand  feet  in  Albany,  N.  Y. 
The  posts  cost,  set  and  ironed,  thirteen  shillings  each.  The  whole 
cost  of  the  fence,  including  painting,  is  about  f  1  per  foot,  besides  the 
eastern  gate,  which  is  not  made. 

The  whole  brick  exterior  of  the  Hospital  has  been  oiled  over  with 
two  coats  of  the  best  linseed  oil.  About  350  gallons  were  used.  The 
cost  of  the  oil  and  the  labor  of  putting  it  on  was  $426.  It  gives  a 
fresh,  bright  appearance  to  the  building,  and  the  oil  fills  up  the  pores 
of  the  brick,  which  keeps  them  from  being  saturated  with  water  dur- 
ing storms.  The  north  Johonnot  wing  has  been  painted  outside  and 
in.  The  outside  of  the  chapel  and  Johonnot  Hall  have  been  painted. 
Two  of  the  kitchens  have  been  painted,  and  the  three  upper  stories  of 
the  centre  building  and  the  floor  and  standing  wood  work  in  the  north 
middle  gallery. 

In  the  south  L  the  sink  rooms  and  water  closets  have  been  trans- 
ferred to  the  southeast  corner  room,  in  which  there  are  two  windows. 
New  plumbers  work  has  been  substituted  for  the  old.  Three  new  iron 
bath  tubs  have  been  put  in,  and  a  bath  kettle  placed  in  the  basement, 
so  that  the  patients  in  that  part  of  the  Hospital  can  bathe  in  their 
own  galleries  now  as  they  can  in  all  the  other  galleries. 

A  large  ventilator,  two  feet  and  a  half  in  diameter,  of  galvanized 
iron,  has  been  placed  on  the  top  of  this  wing,  and  thus  far  it  gives 
promise  of  being  useful. 

To  afford  a  more  easy  and  agreeable  access  to  the  rear  of  the  estab- 
lishment, the  drive-way  from  the  east  has  been  widened  out  from 
about  twenty-four  to  forty-two  feet,  by  tipping  in  on  each  side  many 
loads  of  earth  taken  mostly  from  the  foundation  of  the  new  bank  wall  on 
Summer  street.  This  will  hereafter  be  the  principal  business  entrance 
to  the  Hospital.  A  gravelled  sidewalk,  eight  feet  wide,  has  been 
graded  in  the  streets  by  the  new  bank  wall,  and  by  the  new  picket 
fence. 

Bordering  on  the  Hospital  land,  in  Pine  street,  we  placed,  in  the 
spring,  sixty  white  cedar  trees,  and  in  Central  and  Mulberry  streets  we 
sat  out  sixty  rock  maple  trees.

STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  47 

Th3  ordinary  causes  of  insanity  have  not,  the  past  year,  failed  to 
produce  their  ordinary  results.  To  ill  health,  from  whatever  source 
brought  on,  has  been  assigned  by  their  friends  the  largest  number  of 
cases.  The  brain, — the  instrument  by  which  the  mind  is  manifested, — 
sympathises  more  or  less  immediately  with  the  general  prostration  of 
the  body,  whether  from  over-exertion,  loss  of  sleep,  or  mental  disturb- 
ance, that  prostration  is  induced.  When  weakened  or  rendered  sus- 
ceptible by  sickness  the  brain  is  very  liable  to  respond  in  a  disordered 
tone  ;  and  if  continued  mental  efforts  are  made  while  the  brain  is 
weakened  by  disease,  the  responses  may  become  permanently  disor- 
dered. It  is  but  seldom  that  we  see  patients  in  whom  some  physical 
disease  was  not  noticed  in  the  early  stage  of  their  insanity. 

Intemperance  sends  a  few  of  its  victims  to  us  every  year.  A  singu- 
lar case  in  respect  to  the  long  continuance, — now  nearly  a  whole 
year, — of  the  peculiar  symptoms  of  delirium  tremens,  has  been  under 
our  care.  When  his  attention  is  not  diverted  by  the  presence  of 
others,  he  almost  constantly  sees  "  the  pistols  of  the  villains  who  are 
trying  to  shoot"  him  "  pointing  right  towards"  him.  He  often  holds 
the  building  from  tipping  over  on  to  him,  as  he  says,  and  he  will  exert 
himself  for  hours  to  prevent  his  wagon  from  turning  over.  His  con- 
fiding wife  said,  and  she  probably  believed,  that  "  John  never  drank 
any  spirits  in  his  life."  It  is  truly  a  lovely  passion  that  blinds  our 
eyes  towards  the  failings  of  our  wedded  friends. 

Some  seek  in  the  artificial  but  temporary  excitement  of  the  intoxi- 
cating cup,  relief  to  their  mental  distress  occasioned  by  the  reverse  of 
fortune.  This  is  always  injudicious,  for  mental  depression  is  very 
sure  to  fellow  mental  excitement  artificially  produced.  Besides,  func- 
tional or  organic  disease  of  the  brain,  in  sympathy  with  the  stomach, 
follows  sooner  or  later  the  use  of  intoxicating  liquors,  accompanied  by 
excitement  or  depressions  of  mind  or  feelings  which  constitutes  in- 
sanity, if  long  continued. 

Two  cases  have  come  to  us  the  past  year,  resulting  from  disease  of 
the  bowels  contracted  in  California.  The  disease  of  the  bowels  in 
each  case  has  been  removed,  but  the  sympathetic  affection  of  the  brain 
will  remain.  Within  the  last  three  years  the  wives  of  nine  men  have 
come  to  our  care,  in  consequence,  in  almost  every  instance,  of  their 
husbands  going  to  California.

The  remains  of  those  w^hose  life  closes  while  under  our  care,  are, 
in  all  instances,  sent  to  their  friends  vv^ho  desire  it.  The  remains  of 
those  who  have  no  friends  to  wish  the  removal,  are  decently  buried  in 
the  part  of  one  of  the  cemeteries  in  this  city  appropriated  to  the  use 
of  this  Hospital  soon  after  its  commencement. 

The  mortality  in  hospitals  for  the  insane,  where  the  patients  are  not 
removed  after  a  short  residence,  must  always  be  seemingly  large.     In- 


54  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

sanity  with  many  is  but  one  of  the  symptoms  of  a  general  breaking 
up  of  the  physical  constitution.  The  incurable,  if  not  removed,  must 
sooner  or  later  be  included  in  our  bills  of  mortality.  Of  such  is  a 
large  per  cent,  of  our  deaths  this  year.  Insanity  usually  consumes 
the  vital  principle  rapidly.  But  there  are  a  few  exceptions  where  the 
physical  powers  are  but  little  affected  by  many  long  years  of  mental 
disturbance.  The  average  age  of  the  36  who  died  the  last  year,  the 
duration  of  whose  insanity  was  known,  was  49  years  and  8  months. 
The  average  time  insanity  continued  in  the  28,  in  whom  it  lasted  more 
than  one  year,  was  9  years  and  3  months  ;  and  the  average  time  it 
continued  in  the  8,  in  whom  it  did  not  continue  one  year,  was  4  months 
and  7  days. 

Of  the  number  who  have  closed  their  earthly  accounts  the  past  year, 
was  one  whose  character  was  so  distinctly  marked  by  his  singulari- 
ties as  to  be  recognized  by  many  who  had  but  a  slight  acquaintance 
with  him. 

His  extreme  timidity  made  good  the  old  proverb  of  "  a  faint  heart," 
and  brought  to  bear  upon  himself  the  ridicule  of  his  own  sex.  The 
jeers  of  his  "  shop-mates"  prevented  his  tender  passions  from  mani- 
festing themselves  towards  the  object  of  his  affections.  This  was  said 
to  have  been  the  cause  of  his  insanity.  At  the  age  of  25,  he  was  so 
beside  himself  as  to  require  seclusion,  and  he  was  placed  in  this  Hos- 
pital. His  prominent  symptoms  then  were  timidity,  fear  of  being 
killed  by  violence  or  poison,  fear  of  doing  wrong,  &c.  He  was  penu- 
rious to  a  fault.  Phrenologists  at  that  day  said  these  traits  of  charac- 
ter were  indicated  on  his  head  by  very  prominent  bumps.  In  carrying 
out  these  manifestations,  he  gave  his  attendants  and  the  officers  of  the 
Hospital,  a  vast  deal  of  trouble  and  anxiety.  Many  a  time  he  eloped 
from  the  custody  of  his  attendants,  by  his  mechanical  ingenuity  and 
his  skill  in  the  use  of  tools  acquired  in  his  trade  of  comb-making. 
And  more  than  twice  he  started  to  go  ofT,  leaving  all  his  clothing  be- 
hind him,  for,  as  he  afterwards  said,  he  thought  his  clothes  belonged 
to  the  Hospital.  For  only  a  small  part  of  his  eighteen  years'  residence 
in  the  Hospital  could  he  be  induced  to  take  his  food  with  others  at  the 
table,  but  would  wait  until  the  others  had  swept  the  board,  and  then 
he  would  make  his  meal  of  the  broken  bits  left  by  them.  The  crumbs 
on  the  floor  he  would  gather  when  he  was  allowed  to  do  so.  Wasting 
of  the  food  was  with  him  one  of  the  most  enormous  sins. 

A  characteristic  anecdote  is  related  of  him  by  steward  E.,  who,  on 
their  way  to  the  meadovvs  to  work,  induced  N.  to  get  into  the  wagon 
to  ride  ;  but,  on  coming  to  rising   ground,  N.  insisted  on   getting  out, 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  B5 

and  did  so,  and  gave  his  reason  in  the  following  question  : — "  Don't 
you  think,  Mr.  E.,  the  horse  would  eat  more  hay  for  drawing  me  up 
the  hill  than  he  would  if  he  didn't  ?"  That  economy  which  consists 
in  saving,  was  most  rigidly  observed  by  him.  He  was  industrious  too. 
For  years  he  spent  his  evening  and  the  best  day  of  the  week  in  mak- 
ing buttons  of  soup  bones  found  in  his  walks.  With  a  small  instru- 
ment he  had  prepared  from  a  saw-plate,  he  worked  out  many  quarts  of 
very  tolerable  button  moulds.  Of  late  years  it  was  a  favorite  employ- 
ment with  him,  if  not  an  amusement,  to  sift  over  the  anthracite  coal 
ashes  and  save  the  small  pieces  and  partially  consumed  lumps.  He 
demonstrated  to  us  that  more  than  one  quarter  of  the  coal  was  usually 
thrown  away  unconsumed  in  the  ashes.  This  last  spring  several  of 
the  farmers  called  to  get  him,  with  a  seed  sower  that  he  had  fitted  up, 
to  go  and  sow  their  carrot  ground  for  them,  as  he  had  done  before. 
This  shows  that  his  life  had  been,  in  one  respect,  useful,  and  that  his 
death  had  left  a  void  in  the  world.  He  wished  to  be  useful,  and  was 
so  in  many  things  about  the  Hospital  the  last  few  years  of  his  life. 
But  to  induce  him  to  take  sufficient  food,  and  to  keep  him  even  com- 
fortably clad,  required  the  constant  coercive  influences  of  the  Hos- 
pital. As  his  constitution  had  been  undermined  by  his  defiance  of 
most  of  the  laws  of  health,  he  fell  a  sacrifice  to  a  change  in  the  cli- 
mate, although  he  had  protected  himself  with  a  leathern  suit  for  the 
cold  winds,  and  oil  cloth  for  the  wet  weather.  He  died  begging  hard 
to  live  longer  that  he  might  be  further  useful  to  his  fellow  men  ;  and 
before  the  last  dreaded  change  should  take  place, to  be  carried  back  to 
the  farm  where  he  was  born,  and  to  die  in  peace  at  the  home  of  his 
fathers. 

Another  man,  remarkable  in  the  history  of  this  Hospital,  has  just 
closed  his  earthly  career.  Peter  Sibley  was  indicted  and  tried  for  the 
alleged  crime  of  homicide  "  at  the  September  term  of  the  Supreme 
Judicial  Court,  holden  in  the  county  of  Worcester,  A.  D.  18 17,  and  was, 
by  the  jury,  found  not  guilty  on  account  of  insanity  ;  and  it  appearing 
to  the  court  that  the  going  at  large  of  said  Sibley  would  be  dangerous 
to  the  citizens  and  peace  of  the  Commonwealth,  it  was  ordered,  by  said 
court,  that  he  be  committed  to  the  prison  within  said  county,  there  to 
to  be  detained  until  he  be  restored  to  his  right  mind,  or  otherwise  dis- 
charged by  due  course  of  law."  In  "  a  room  thereof,  occupied  by 
himself  alone,  he  was  ever  since  confined,"  until  he  was,  by  the  Gov- 
ernor's proclamation,  transferred,  on  the  16th  of  March,  1833,  to  this 
Hospital.  "During  this  whole  time  he  has  been,"  said  the  high 
sheriff  of  the  county,  "evidently  deranged,  and  a  considerable  portion 


56  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

of  it  '  furiously  mad.'  His  turns  of  madness  have  not  been  periodic 
cal  but  occasional,  though  frequent,  and  generally  characterized  by 
great  noise  and  boisterousness.  It  was  found  impracticable  to  keep 
him  decently  clad.  He  has  been  repeatedly  clothed  in  suits,  the  ma- 
terial and  fashion  of  which  seemed  best  adapted  to  prevent  a  removal 
by  him,  but  all  to  no  purpose.  His  health  generally  has  been  good, 
very  good,  and  his  appearance  that  of  a  well  fed,  athletic  man." 

After  coming  to  the  Hospital,  his  general  physical  health  continued 
good  up  to  the  last  few  months  of  his  life.  He  manifested  but  little 
intellect,  and  that  constantly  grew  more  dim.  He  showed  some  pride 
in  his  dress  and  generally  kept  himself  decently  clad,  although  his 
destructive  propensity  would  occasionally  expend  itself  on  his  clothes. 
He  never  read  anything,  seldom  made  conversation,  and  usually  an- 
swered questions,  when  he  gave  any  answers,  in  the  simple  monosylla- 
ble. The  last  few  years  of  his  life,  he  did  not  probably  know  the 
names  even  of  those  constantly  with  him.  He  would  walk  out  with 
his  attendant,  and  a  few  times  attended  our  religious  meetings.  He 
was  at  times  prone  to  halloo  and  scream  without  any  apparent  cause, 
and  manifested  violent  passion  by  uttering  oaths  and  by  beating  his 
head.  He  was  not  a  difficult  patient  to  manage,  and  never  used  physi- 
cal violence  upon  any  one  here.  He  stood  much  of  the  time  in  his 
own  room,  see-sawing  or  walking  forwards  and  back  three  steps,  each 
way,  without  changing  his  position  two  feet. 

His  days  were  closed,  as  many  of  that  class  of  the  insane  are,  by  a 
series  of  epileptic  fits,  which  had   been  increasing  upon  him  for  years. 

At  the  time  of  the  outrage  for  which  he  was  arrested,  his  insanity 
was  known  to  a  few  of  his  neighbors  only,  and,  at  his  trial,  it  was 
questioned  by  the  whole  vicinity  ;  but  the  result  shows  that  he  was 
ever  afterwards  deranged.  He  died  at  the  age  of  63  years,  and  for 
more  than  34  years  of  it  he  was  confined  ;  for  nearly  half  of  which 
confinement  he  remained  in  one  room  without  much  clothing  or  fire. 
But  few  of  the  insane  survive  so  many  years  in  mental  darkness  as  he 
did.  His  physical  powers  were  strong,  upon  which  it  is  probable  his 
imbecility  of  mind  and  his  disregard  for  the  opinions  of  others  had 
but  little  effect.  He  had  no  keen  susceptibility  of  the  head  to  destroy 
his  digestion. 

His  wretched  condition  in  the  old  prison,  in  the  very  centre  of  the 
business  of  the  county,  was  a  common  subject  for  speculation  to  vari- 
ous classes  in  this  community.  To  the  thoughtless  and  cruel,  his 
provoked  ravings  and  cries  gave  a  kind  of  pleasure.  To  the  kind- 
hearted,  his  seemingly  helpless  and  hopeless  condition  gave  pain,  but 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  57 

to  the  reflecting  his  very  woful  state  was  suggestive  of  plans  for  his 
amelioration. 

Although  he  had  lifted  his  hand  against  his  fellow  man,  and  had 
been  immurcd  for  years  in  a  cold,  damp  cell,  subject  to  the  taunts  and 
scoffs  of  the  thoughtless  and  vicious,  kind  feelings,  for  those  he  knew 
could  not  have  injured  him,  remained  in  his  bosom.  A  ray  of  tender 
regard  for  the  confiding  fowls  of  the  air,  and  his  own  lonely  lot,  may 
have  induced  him  to  build  the  house  for  her  young  in  his  window. 
This  incident  of  poor  Sibley  was  beautifully  alluded  to  some  years 
since,  by  one  early  devoted  to  the  best  interests  of  this  institution,  as 
follows  : — ^^'  Those  who  are  curious  in  tracing  the  steps  by  which  great 
effects  proceed  from  apparently  slight  causes,  may  imagine,  not  wholly 
without  reason,  that  the  mud  bird's  nest,  described  in  one  of  the  early 
Reports  of  the  Prison  Discipline  Society,  built  on  one  of  the  bars  of  the 
grated  windows  of  his  loathsome  apartment  in  the  old  Worcester  jail, 
by  one  of  the  present  inmates  of  this  Hospital,  then  in  nakedness  and 
filth,  now  clothed  and  comfortable,  was  the  foundation  of  this  noble 
structure,  and  the  -effects  of  that  scene  may  yet  be  felt  on  the  other 
"fide  of  the  globe.""

STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  59 

With  the  idle,  time  passes  slowly  ;  so  it  is  with  such  of  our  household 
as  are  not  employed.  It  has  been  our  constant  endeavor  to  occupy  as 
much  as  possible  the  hands  and  minds  of  our  patients  with  labor  or 
amusement.  The  former  habit  of  most  of  our  females  in  the  use  of 
the  needle  continues  with  them  here  a  constant  source  of  enjoyment 
as  well  as  of  usefulness.  Many  are  also  daily  engaged  in  the  various 
domestic  duties  of  the  establishment.  The  male  patients  also  perform 
a  large  amount  of  the  farming  and  other  out-door  work,  but  a  part  of 
the  year  their  resources  of  manual  labor  are  much  restricted.  The 
various  games,  and  our  library  of  several  hundred  volumes  of  miscel- 
laneous books,  do  much  to  while  away  the  otherwise  vacant  hours  of 
many,  and  make  them,  for  a  time  at  least,  forget  their  troubles. 

The  proprietors  of  the  following  newspapers  continue  to  be  very 
kind  and  liberal  in  sending  our  patients  regular  copies  of  their  publi- 
cations. They  are  always  cordially  welcomed  and  perused  with  inter- 
est. They  contain  a  variety  of  matter  which  interests  and  instructs 
without  fatiguing  their  minds  as  many  books  do.  In  behalf  of  our 
patients  we  heartily  thank  those  who  I'emember  them  in  the  distribu- 
tion of  such  acceptable  favors.  The  Daily  Advertiser,  Evening  Ga- 
zette, Olive  Branch,  Puritan  Recorder,  Christian  Witness  and  Church 
Advocate,  Christian  Watchman  and  Reflector,  Youth's  Companion, 
Monthly  Religious  Magazine,  Zion's  Herald,  New  England  Farmer, 
and  Christian  Observer,  from  Boston  ;  Register  and  Essex  County 
Gazette,  from  Salem  ;  Lynn  News,  from  Lynn ;  Old  Colony  Memo- 
rial, from  Plymouth  ;  Gospel  Messenger,  from  Utica,  N.  Y. ;  ^gis, 
Daily 'and  Weekly  Spy,  Palladium,  Cataract,  N.  E.  M.  T.  Journal, 
Daily  Transcript,  from  Worcester. 

The  printing  offices  of  this  city  give  us  of  their  exchanges,  and  the 
Rev.  T.  F.  Norris  sends  us  a  large  bundle  of  his,  often.  From  the 
Hon.  John  Davis  we  have  received  the  Patent  Office  Report  of  1849- 
50,  the  President's  Annual  Message  and  accompanying  documents, 
1850-51,  and  Reconnoisances  in  New  Mexico,  &c.,  which  is  Foster 
and  Whitney's  Report.  And  Mr.  Thomas  Drew,  Rev.  Charles  R. 
Fisher  and  Doct.  Curwen,  each  sent  us  a  valuable  book. 

Our  patients  walk  out  daily,  in  parties,  with  their  attendants,  and  we 
aim  in  the  pleasant  season  to  get  out  of  doors  daily  all  who  are  in  a 
condition  to  walk  or  ride  out.  Our  coach  is  devoted  to  the  use  of  the 
females,  and  the  feeble  men  are  carried  out  mornings  in  our  single 
carriage. 

One  afternoon  in  two  weeks  about  seventy  female  patients,  with  their 
attendants,  have  been  accustomed  to  meet  the  Matron  in  the  Johonnot

Hall,  and  enjoy  about  two  hours  in  social  intercourse  with  the  pro- 
fessed object  of  making  up  linen  for  the  use  of  the  Hospital. 

On  the  4th  of  February  last,  the  "  Swiss  Bell  Ringers"  gave  a  very 
interesting  entertainment  to  our  chapel  full  of  our  household.  The 
audience  listened  to  their  novel  performance  with  astonishment  and 
delight. 

On  the  19th  of  July,  Professor  Arnold  Guyot  put  up  a  set  of  Me- 
teorological Instruments  at  one  of  the  north  windows  of  our  office. 
These  instruments  are  one  of  the  twelve  sets  furnished  by  Massachu- 
setts, and  it  was  put  up  by  Prof.  Guyot,  under  the  direction  of  the 
Smithsonian  Institution  at  Washington.  The  instruments  consist  of  a 
barometer,  thermometer,  psychrometer,  rain  gauge,  two  graduated 
glasses  for  measuring  rain  water,  portfolio  for  blanks,  table  of  reduc- 
tion and  directions  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution  for  making  meteoro- 
logical observations,  according  to  the  system  established  by  order  and 
at  the  expense  of  the  Commonwealth. 

Hereafter,  the  meteorological  observations  will  be  noted  in  the 
weather  table  kept  here  according  to  the  above  system. 

Ever  since  January  3d,  1839,  observations  of  the  weather  have 
been  regularly  noted  three  times  every  day  or  more,  and  printed  in 
the  annual  reports. 

Our  farming  has  been  as  successful  as  ever,  and  the  results,  as  esti- 
mated by  the  Steward,  are  as  follows  : 


Potatoes,  259  bushels,  at  50  cents. 


Peas,  48

The  religious  worship  of  our  family  has  been  conducted  with  dis- 
tinguished ability  and  propriety,  by  the  same  Chaplain  who  has  been 
with  us  for  many  years.  The  seats  in  both  rooms  of  the  chapel  are 
usually  crowded  with  a  very  quiet  and  attentive  audience,  and  the 
reserved  seats  for  strangers  are  often  occupied  too. 

In  conclusion,  I  say,  we  have  entered  upon  another  year  with  a 
family  of  five  hundred  and  thirty-six  persons,  enjoying  great  freedom 
from  all  acute  disease,  and  otherwise  blessed  with  favorable  auspices. 

Most  respectfully, 

GEORGE   CHANDLER.

Revised  Statutes,  Chapter  48. 

GOVERNMENT. 

Sect.  1.  The  government  of  the  State  Lunatic  Hospital  at  Worces- 
ter shall  be  vested  in  a  board  of  five  trustees,  to  be  annually  appointed 
and  commissioned  by  the  governor,  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
council  ;  but  the  trustee,  who  is  first  named  in  the  commission,  shall 
not  be  appointed  for  the  succeeding  year  ;  and  the  trustees  who  are  in 
office  when  this  chapter  takes  effect  as  a  law,  shall  continue  to  exer- 
cise their  powers,  according  to  the  tenor  of  their  commissions,  until 
others  are  appointed. 

Sect.  2.  The  said  trustees  shall  take  charge  of  the  general  inter- 
ests of  the  institution,  and  see  that  its  affairs  are  conducted  according 
to  the  requirements  of  the  legislature  and  the  by-laws  and  regulations 
which  the  trustees  shall  establish,  for  the  internal  government  and 
economy  of  the  institution,  and  they  shall  be  reimbursed  all  expenses 
incurred  in  the  discharge  of  their  official  duties. 

Sect.  3.  The  trustees  shall  appoint  a  superintendent,  who  shall 
always  be  a  physician,  and  shall  constantly  reside  at  the  hospital,  and 
a  treasurer,  who  shall  give  bonds  for  the  faithful  discharge  of  his  du- 
ties ;  and  they  shall  also  appoint,  or  make  provision  in  the  by-laws  for 
appointing,  such  other  officers,  as  in  their  opinion  may  be  necessary 
for  conducting  efficiently  and  economically  the  business  of  the  institu- 
tion ;  and  all  appointments  made  by  them  shall  be  made  in  such  man- 
ner, and  with  such  restrictions,  and  for  such  terms  of  time,  as  the 
by-laws  shall  prescribe  ;  and  the  salaries  of  all  the  officers  of  the 
institution  shall  be  determined  by  the  trustees,  subject  to  the  approval 
of  the  governor  and  council  ;  the  trustees  shall  also  establish  by-laws 
and  regulations,  with  suitable  penalties,  for  the  internal  government 
and  economy  of  the  institution. 

Sect.  4.  The  trustees  may  take  and  hold,  in  trust  for  the  Common- 
wealth, any  grant  or  devise  of  lands,  and  any  donation  or  bequest  of 
money,  or  other  personal  property,  to  be  applied  to  the  maintenance  of 
insane  persons,  and  the  general  use  of  said  institution. 

Sect.  5.  There  shall  be  a  thorough  visitation  of  the  hospital, 
monthly,  by  one  or  more  of  the  trustees,  and  semiannually  by  a  ma- 


4  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

jority  of  them,  and  annually  by  the  whole  board  ;  and  at  each  visita- 
tion, a  written  account  of  the  state  of  the  institution  shall  be  drawn 
up,  which  shall  be  presented  at  the  annual  meeting,  to  be  held  in  the 
month  of  December  ;  and  at  the  said  annual  meeting,  a  full  and  de- 
tailed report  shall  be  made,  to  be  laid  before  the  governor  and  council, 
during  the  first  week  of  the  then  next  session  of  the  legislature,  for  the 
use  of  the  government,  exhibiting  a  particular  statement  of  the  con- 
dition of  the  hospital  and  of  all  its  concerns  ;  and  at  the  same  time, 
the  treasurer  shall  present  to  the  governor  and  council  his  annual 
report  on  the  finances  of  the  institution,  both  of  which  reports  shall  be 
made  up  to  the  thirtieth  day  of  November  inclusive. 

ADMISSION    OF    PATIENTS    TO    THE    HOSPITAL. 

Sect.  6.  The  judges  of  probate  in  the  several  counties,  except 
Suffolk,  and  in  that  county  the  judge  of  the  municipal  court,  may  com- 
mit to  the  hospital  any  lunatic,  who,  in  their  opinion,  is  so  furiously 
mad  as  to  render  it  manifestly  dangerous  to  the  peace  and  safety  of 
the  community  that  he  should  be  at  large  ;  and  all  lunatics,  ordered 
to  be  confined  by  any  court,  according  to  the  provisions  of  the  one 
hundred  and  thirty-sixth,  and  one  hundred  and  thirty-seventh  chapters, 
shall  be  committed  to  said  hospital ;  and  no  tribunal,  other  than  the 
judicial  officers  mentioned  in  this  chapter,  shall  have  authority  to  com- 
mit any  lunatic  to  said  hospital ;  and  in  all  cases,  the  judges  of  probate 
and  the  judge  of  the  municipal  court,  respectively,  shall  certify  in 
what  town  the  lunatic  resided,  at  the  time  of  his  commitment,  and  the 
judges  of  the  supreme  judicial  court  and  court  of  common  pleas,  re- 
spectively, shall  certify  in  what  town  he  resided,  at  the  time  of  the 
arrest,  in  pursuance  of  which  he  was  held  to  answer  before  those 
courts  ;  and  such  certificate  shall,  for  the  purposes  of  this  chapter,  be 
conclusive  evidence  of  his  residence. 

Sect.  7.  Any  person  who  shall  apply  for  the  commitment  of  any 
lunatic,  under  the  provisions  of  the  preceding  section,  shall  first  give 
notice,  in  writing,  to  one  or  more  of  the  selectmen  of  the  town,  or 
mayor  of  the  city,  where  such  lunatic  resides,  of  his  intention  to  make 
such  application  ;  and  satisfactory  evidence,  that  such  notice  has  been 
given,  shall  be  produced  to  the  said  judges,  respectively,  at  the  time 
of  making  such  application. 

Sect.  8.  Any  lunatic  who  is  supported  as  a  town  pauper,  may, 
with  consent  of  the  trustees,  be  committed  to  the  Hospital  by  the  over- 
seers of  the  poor  of  his  town,  and  shall  be  kept  for  a  sum,  which 
shall  not  in  any  case  exceed  the  actual  expense  of  his  support ;  and 
the  trustees  may  also,  in  their  discretion,  receive  into  the  hospital,  for 
a  less  sum,  any  poor  persons  suffering  under  recent  insanity,  whether 
supported  or  not  by  any  town  or  city. 

expenses. 

Sect.  9.  The  expenses  of  the  hospital  for  the  support  of  all  luna- 
tics committed  by  any  of  the  judicial  officers  mentioned  in  this  chap- 
ter, or  by  virtue  of  a  proclamation  of  the  governor,  or  by  a  resolve  of 
the  legislature,  or  by  two  of  the  justices  of  the  peace  and  of  the  quo- 
rum, shall  be  paid  by  the  town,  in  which  such  lunatics  had  their  settle- 
ment, at  the  time  of  their  commitment,  unless  in  cases  when  other 
sufficient  security,  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  trustees,  shall  have  been 
taken  for  such  support ;  and  if  any  town  or  city  shall  neglect  or  refuse  to 


STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL.  6 

pay  whatever  sum  may  be  charged  and  due,  according  to  the  by-laws 
of  the  hospital,  on  account  of  the  support  of  any  such  patient  at  the 
hospital,  or  for  the  removal  of  any  patient,  whom  the  trustees  are 
authorized  by  law  to  remove,  for  the  space  of  thirty  days  after  the 
same  shall  have  been  demanded  by  the  treasurer,  in  writing,  of  the 
selectmen  of  the  town,  or  of  the  mayor  and  aldermen  of  the  city 
liable  therefor,  the  same  may  be  recovered  for  the  use  of  the  hospital, 
in  an  action  to  be  brought  in  the  name  of  the  treasurer  against  such 
delinquent  town,  in  which  action  the  declaration  may  be  in  a  general 
indebitatus  assumpsit,  and  judgment  shall  be  rendered  for  such  sum  as 
shall  be  found  due,  with  interest  from  the  time  of  the  demand  thereof 
made  as  aforesaid. 

Sect.  10.  Eve^-y  town,  which  shall  pay  any  expenses  for  the  sup= 
port  or  removal  of  any  lunatic,  under  the  provisions  of  the  preceding 
section,  shall  have  the  like  rights  and  remedies,  to  recover  such  sums 
with  interest  and  costs,  as  if  such  expenses  had  been  incurred  in  the 
ordinary  support  of  the  lunatic. 

Sect.  1L  Whenever  any  lunatic,  not  having  a  legal  settlement  in 
this  State,  shall  be  supported  at  the  hospital,  he  shall  be  personally 
liable  for  all  expenses  incurred  by  him  at  said  hospital,  to  be  recov- 
ered by  an  action  in  the  name  of  the  treasurer  thereof,  as  provided  in 
the  ninth  section  ;  and  the  district  attorneys,  or  other  prosecuting  offi- 
cers of  the  Commonwealth,  shall  institute  any  suits  in  their  respective 
districts,  whenever  they  shall  be  thereto  requested  by  the  trustees. 

Sect.  12.  No  keeper  of  any  jail  or  house  of  correction  shall  make 
any  contract  for  supporting,  within  the  county  buildings,  any  lunatic, 
who  is  supported  as  a  town  pauper,  without  first  obtaining  the  appro= 
bation,  in  writing,  of  the  commissioners  ;  and  for  every  offence  against 
this  provision,  such  keeper  shall  forfeit  a  sum  not  less  than  one  hun- 
dred dollars. 

DISCHARGES. 

Sect.  13.  No  pauper  shall  be  discharged  from  the  hospital  without 
suitable  clothing  ;  and  the  trustees  may  furnish  the  same  at  their  dis- 
cretion, together  with  such  a  sum  of  money,  not  exceeding  twenty 
dollars,  as  they  may  think  necessary. 

Sect.  14.  Any  two  of  the  trustees,  or  either  of  the  justices  of  the 
supreme  judicial  court  or  of  the  court  of  common  pleas,  at  any  term 
held  within  and  for  the  county  of  Worcester,  may,  on  application  in 
writing  for  that  purpose,  discharge  from  confinement,  after  the  cause 
of  such  confinement  shall  have  ceased,  any  lunatic  committed  to  the 
hospital ;  and  the  trustees  inay  also  remove  any  idiot  or  other  patient  to 
the  town,  where  the  judge  or  court  committing  him  shall  certify  that  he 
resided,  whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  the  trustees,  he  shall  cease  to  be 
dangerous,  within  the  intent  of  the  law,  and  shall  not  be  susceptible  of 
mental  improvement,  by  remedial  treatment  at  the  hospital  :  provided, 
that  such  town,  after  reasonable  notice,  in  writing,  from  the  trustees, 
shall  not  remove  such  idiot  or  other  patient. 

Sect.  15.  If,  at  any  time,  the  lunatics  in  the  hospital  shall  be  so 
numerous  that  they  cannot  all  be  suitably  accommodated  therein,  and, 
in  the  opinion  of  the  trustees,  it  shall  be  proper  that  some  of  them 
should  be  removed  therefrom,  the  trustees  may  remove  to  the  jails  or 
houses  of  correction  in  the  respective  counties,  from  which  such  luna- 


6  STATE  LUNATIC  HOSPITAL. 

tics  were  sent,  so  many  of  them  as  may  be  necessary,  in  order  to 
afford  suitable  accommodation  for  the  remainder  of  them  ;  and  the 
keepers  of  the  jails  and  houses  of  correction,  in  the  said  counties,
