Asylum By the Numbers, After Nine Months Operation

Event date: Nov 24, 1837

The whole number of admissions into the Asylum from December 12, 1836 to Sept 30, 1837, (exclusive of several nervous patients) was 48; of whom 1 has died and 13 have been discharged, leaving in the institution 34. It is certainly remarkable that after being in operation only nine and a half months, there should be 11 cures effected out of 14 discharged, including old cases.
