REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
To the Governor and Legislature of the State of Michigan:
The Trustees of the Traverse City State Hospital have the honor to
submit their report for the biennial period ending June 30, 1914, together with the reports of the Medical Superintendent, Treasurer and
Steward.
The period has been an interesting one, not only because of discoveries in the treatment of certain conditions, but of increased efficiency in the general management of the hospital. The general application of the Wasserman method,—a positive means of clinical diagnosis
of luetic diseases,—and of recently discovered means for the curative
treatment of these disorders, mark, perhaps, the most important advance in the field of neurological medicine. Helpful advance has been
made in the diagnosis of dementia praecox by the use of the FauserAbderhalden defensive ferment test, and in its treatment by the nucleinate of sodium,—the so-called Lundvall treatment. The Abderhalden
test opens a wide field, and will become a part of the clinical routine in.
the investigation of cases. In the Medical Superintendent's report
brief mention is made regarding the treatment of luetic diseases and of
dementia praecox by recent methods.
Although the cost of living continued high, yet the maintenance rate
was not increased. Notwithstanding that the hospital had to pay its
pro rata (f5,193.93) to the State for insurance on its property, etc., in
accordance with the provisions of Act 388, Laws of 1913, yet the actual
cost of maintenance was within 50 cents per patient per day. The
1914-15 rate has been fixed at 50 cents per patient per day, including
fire insurance and workingmen's liability insurance, as provided by law.
We would respectfully suggest to your Honorable Body that the cost of
fire insurance for State institutions and for workingmen's compensation
under the Liability Law, should be charged against the general fund of
the State and not assessed pro rata among the institutions of the State.
This method would be more business like, more direct, and would afford
a saving in overhead charges.
Every effort has been made to increase the efficiency of the hospital in
all its departments. The orchards, dairy, farm and gardens have grown
greatly in usefulness, and a handsome profit has been derived from
them. The fruits grown supplied the hospital with all its fresh fruits
and with much of its preserved fruits. Their value amounts to a considerable sum. The health value of fruits grown to maturity, and consumed in fresh state, is greater than that of fruits imported from a distance. Imported fruits are usually gathered green, and ripen under
artificial conditions, and are not as healthful as fruits matured at home.
In their possibilities these departments are only at the threshold.
8
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
The "Board of Stewards" has made many joint purchases for the institutions of the State. This plan has thus far worked well, and will
continue to work well so long as quality of supplies is regarded of first
importance. Inferior or "old stock" provisions may cost less, but their
use is ever at the expense of the health of the hospital. A few more
cases of illness in the hospital, traceable to inferior foods, would cost
vastly more than the difference between inferior and first class supplies
would amount to. Expert inspection of foods and the proper cooking of
foods are of great importance to the health of the household.
The cooking is supervised by the dietitian, and foods are prepared not
only more scientifically, but in a more attractive and palatable manner.
Quite recently the patients have been arranged in groups, and foods
prepared and served according to the needs of each group. The first
group includes all those who are physically able to eat in dining rooms
and without special supervision. The second group includes those who
were formerly fed from trays because of untidiness or violence; and
the third group includes those confined to bed. The second group cases
require very special supervision, not only in reference to the kind of
foods they eat, but to have them eat in a proper manner. Eggs, soups,
-cereals, vegetables and fruits enter largely into the dietary of this group.
The menus are varied from day to day and their nutritive value carefully estimated, so that there is a just balance maintained in the proteid, carbohydrate and fat contents. For the third group the dietary is
prescribed by the physicians to meet the needs of each case. Women
patients are instructed by the dietitian in the preparation and service
of foods, and assist in many ways in the preparation and preservation
•of fruits, etc. This is one of the most useful diversional occupations
for women patients. So far this period, women patients have largely
assisted in the preparation of fruits for canning, in cake and special
bread making, etc. Instruction in bread, cake and pastry making will
be extended as fast as suitable room for the purpose can be provided.
DIETETICS.
Each year for several years an analysis of food used in certain portions of the hospital for a given length of time has been made, and the
following tables will show the result of these analyses for several of the
cottages. They are informative of the approximate calorie value of the
food materials furnished,—whether too much or too little proteid, carbohydrate, or fat, etc., etc. These analyses furnish a base on which food
requisitions are made, and in the treatment of many patients are of as
much value as is the determination of calorie content of foods used in
the typhoid, diabetic or nephritic patient. If, for example, the analysis
shows too much fat or too much proteid or too much carbohydrate, it is
comparatively easy to correct any deficiency or excess that may exist in
these elements. The dietetic treatment of mental cases is of just as
much value as it is in general diseases. The body metabolism is impaired in the majority of cases, and the patients are, by reason of their
mental state, unable to cooperate with the physicians in properly eating.
We know in many cases without the utmost care in this direction patients go on to fatal exhaustion. Body metabolism is an extremely
^complicated matter in both health and disease. The value of dietetic
TRAVERSE CITY STATE HOSPITAL.
treatment of the insane can hardly be over-estimated. In conclusion we
may say that in arranging dietaries, the first consideration has been to
give the patients a diet suited to their health needs and at the lowest
possible cost.
The following analyses were made by Miss N. B. Clark, dietitian of
the hospital.

Added experience confirms the great value of dietetics in nervous and
physical condition of ill health. It opens tip a field for better foods,
better cooking and for the education and employment, especially of
women patients.
DOMESTIC ARTS AXD SCIENCES.
A department of domestic science and arts was established during the
period, not only to increase the efficiency of the working force, but to introduce as fast as practical, the so-called diversional occupations. All of
the dress-making, repair of clothing, etc., falls in this department. An
effort is made to employ, not so much the willing worker, as the depressed, the indifferent, inhibited praecox cases; all those, in fact, who
require urging if they accomplish any useful thing. It is believed that
every patient who is bodily able, will, under proper supervision, perform
some useful work, and in praecox cases, particularly, the march to
dementia arrested, or even the mental condition of the patient improved.
The work of patients is frequently interrupted by luncheons, music, and
games, and diversified by the teaching of fancy work. This field should
be extended, so that every woman patient will be able to add, by her own
industry, to her own well being and to that of others. The room devoted
to this department, in the basement, is not only too small, but in every
way inadequate for the purpose. As will later appear, we shall ask your
12
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Honorable Body for an appropriation to construct a suitable building
in which to carry on this important work.
OCCUPATION FOR MEN.
To provide occupations for men is not difficult, as the work of the
farm, gardens and grounds are especially suited for all classes of patients. Many men patients work with absorbing interest under the
direction of the orchardist, of the horticulturist, of the herdsman, etc.,
from which they gain not only health and strength, but knowledge
which they can apply in the conduct of their affairs at home. About
one-half of the men are usefully employed every day. Epileptics, imbeciles, seniles, tuberculous and organic patients, are able to do little,
if any, work. With trained nurses and vocational instructors, nearly
every patient save these can be enlisted in work, to their benefit.
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
The training school has been conducted with care, to fit the pupil for
the highest usefulness in mental nursing. Mental nursing is widening
on many lines,—the education of patients, vocational instruction, diversional occupations, various forms of amusements,—all require the highest intelligence and scientific training for their successful attainment.
Because of these demands, more men and women are seeking this special
form of training,—even graduates of general hospital schools are seeking entrance into our school, hoping to gain wider knowledge and to
make a life work of the care of the insane. During the period just
closed there were twenty-eight graduates from the training school.
Many of these nurses, as during former years, severed their connection
with the hospital soon after graduation to enter the training schools
and hospitals of the large cities. As just mentioned, however, graduates of metropolitan schools are seeking post work in our mental
schools, and in this way our service may gain in trained nurses what it
loses.
CLINICAL AND RESEARCH WORK.
This work has been under the general direction of Dr. J. A. Hall.
The following is a brief report of the examinations and other work done.
The Wasserman work has been done in collaboration with the Psychopathic Hospital at Ann Arbor, and it is interesting to note that of the
luetic cases treated, two were discharged cured. These patients were
apparently in normal mental health, and the blood and spinal fluid no
longer gave the Wasserman reaction. It is also interesting to note that
of the total number of cases tested, 15.2% of the men and 7% of the
women gave positive Wasserman reactions. This demonstrates how
vast a place specific disease takes in the etiology of mental disease.

In addition to the Wasserman work the study of alcohol as an etiologic factor in insanity was carried on. Also the heredity of each
and every patient admitted during the last year was carefully studied,
in collaboration with the Michigan Eugenics Commission.
EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
During the months of September, October and November, 1913, there
was a small outbreak of typhoid fever in the hospital. As soon as the
diagnosis of typhoid was established, suitable rooms for the care and
nursing of the patients were prepared, which were sufficiently isolated
to prevent the spread of the disease. The most interesting question to
consider was its source. How did the germs find their way into the
hospital? Samples of the water used for domestic purposes, and
samples of the milk used in the hospital, were immediately sent to the
State Board of Health. Examination proved these specimens negative.
The State Board of Health was requested to send a representative to
investigate the disease and locate its source, if possible. The Board
very kindly sent Dr. C. C. Slemons, Health Officer of Grand Eapids, to
make the necessary investigations. In view of the negative report on
water and milk, and of the localization of the cases in the hospital, Dr.
Slemons first investigated if a carrier had been admitted. He also
inquired into the nursing of the patients previous to their sickness.
It was found that one nurse had cared for all of them, and that this
14
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
nurse never had had typhoid or been in contact with the disease. Bacteriological examinations showed that she was free from typhoid germs,
—that she was not a carrier. It was thought that there might be a
patient who was a carrier and who might have distributed the germs to
the patients attacked. One patient who had been bed-ridden for gome
months from chronic intestinal trouble was strongly suspected. All
tests of this patient proved negative. The Widal test was made of all
patients admitted to the wards where patients were ill during a period
three weeks previous to September 8th. All examinations proved negative. We may say that every effort made to trace the source of the
disease was without avail. It still remains a mystery.
Within a few days 10 patients were attacked. All recovered but one.
This patient, who was an epileptic, had a very severe convulsion in the
midst of her sickness, and if it was not directly the cause of her death,
it probably hastened it. Prophylactic vaccination with typhoid bactuins of all patients was authorized. About 1,500 of these vaccinations
were made, two for each person. The "first dose was of 5 million bacterins, and the second of 1,000 million bacteria. No serious illness or
reaction followed these vaccinations. Whether without them the disease would have limited itself to the 10 cases cannot be said. At any
rate, no further cases occurred.
. Diphtheria made its appearance in the hospital just previous to the
beginning of the period. The disease was controlled by the use of
antitoxins.
VIOLENT DEATHS.
One homicide occurred. C. B. died of strangulation produced by a
fellow patient. There were no suicides. One patient, an epileptic,
suffocated in his pillow during a convulsion.
TRANSFER OF PATIENTS.
Three patients were transferred to the Ionia State Hospital; one
was deported to Europe; one was transferred to the Kalamazoo State
Hospital; and one was returned to Illinois.
The hospital has been able to care for all patients within its district,
and many from the dewberry and Pontiac State Hospital Districts.
INCREASE OF PATIENTS.
The net gain in patients during the period was, men, 79, women, 40,
total, 119. If the patients received from outside the hospital district,
94 men and 53 women, total 147,—are deducted from the total admissions, the net loss in the district during the period was 29. The average
increase of patients for the last twenty-eight years has been 21.7 per
year.
Of the 700 patients admitted:
23 had been confined in county houses.
124 had been confined in jails.
109 had been treated in other asylums.
22 were said to have been destructive.
34 had attempted or threatened suicide.

DISCHARGE OP PATIENTS,, READMISSIONS,, ETC.
There were 581 patients discharged during the period,—337 men and
244 women. Of this number 83 were discharged recovered, 150 improved,
49 unimproved and 299 died. The percentage of recoveries on the whole
number under treatment was 4%; on the number admitted 11.8%. The
death rate was 88 per thousand, 1912-13, and 80 per thousand, 1913-14.
The readmissions for the period, were, men, 55; women, 52; total, 107.
The readmissions from the beginning have been, men, 369; women, 356;
total, 725. The total number of admissions, 6,530, represents 5,805
individuals.
The daily average of patients for the period was 1,492. The number
of weeks spent in the institution by patients was 155,599 1/71. This was
an increase of 101 in daily average, and an increase of 10,196 2/7 weeks'
board over the preceding period.
On June 30, 1914, there were 1,486 patients under treatment at State
expense, and 31 at private expense.
There were 271 persons employed at the hospital on June 30, 1914, in
the positions and at the wages given in the schedule accompanying this
report.
ORDINARY REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
During the year ending June 30, 1913, the cost of repairs was $18,329.53, and for the year ending June 30, 1914, $17,435.33. A number of
minor repairs and improvements were made during the period. Among
the more important was the purchase of a flag staff, construction of a
small garage for Steward's use, purchase of new hose and increased
fire protection, electric lighting of main avenue, replacing floors and
general repairs in Administration Building, replacing of stalls and
mangers in cow stables, repairs to Steward's residence, and replacing of
floors and closets in laboratory, fitting up room in basement for domestic science department, repairs and enlargement of gardener's cottage,
spraying utensils for orchards and gardens, and other little repairs too
numerous to mention. Beds and bedding, chairs and other furniture
were required to meet the increase of patients in the hospital.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $38,137.80.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for the construction of a side track from the Peve Marquette main line to the institution. The right of way was purchased by the State at a cost of $22,738.46, and the cost of construction to June 30th, 1914, was $9,580.86.
There still remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this
fund at the close of June 30th, 1914, $5,818.48. The road is nearly completed and well within the appropriation. There will be a large number
of city lots crossed by the track, for sale. Their total market value is
not less than $10,000" Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested
to pass an act enabling the hospital to sell these lots, and to return the
money accruing from such sales either to the State treasury or to the
institution. This road is the most important improvement made at the
institution in years. At this writing, (Sept. 13, 1914), freight is being
delivered at the hospital.
TRAVERSE CITY STATE HOSPITAL.

SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $1500.
This appropriation was provided by the last Legislature for the purchase of track scales. It has not been drawn, and it is not yet fully
determined whether it will be necessary to use it.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $6000.
This appropriation was authorized by the last Legislature for the
completion of the heating plant in the "main building. The contract for
this work was awarded to the Thomas Heating Company of Eacine, Wisconsin, in the sum of $5,535.00. This work was completed within the
amount appropriated, and in a most satisfactory manner. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this fund on June
30th, 1914, $160.44.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2500.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for a shed for
storage of wagons and implements. Work has been commenced on this
building, but it will not be finished till September of this year. There
remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this fund, at the
close of the biennial period, $2,370.70.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2500.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for repairs to
roofs and gutters of the hospital. A part of the work has been completed. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of
this fund, on June 30, 1914, $1,741.43.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $500.
This appropriation was granted by the Legislature for sinking an
artesian well. This work is about completed. An excellent flow of
water has been obtained which- will be of the greatest service to the
hospital. There remained in the hands of the treasurer at the close of
the biennial period to the credit of this fund, $53.70.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $6400.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for roofing
cottages 24, 25, 26 and 28. The work of re-roofing these buildings was
done on contract, and in a highly satisfactory manner. The roofs are
of the best Peach Bottom Pennsylvania slate. The work was finished in
November, 1913. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the
credit of this fund on June 30, 1914, $494.53.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2000.
This appropriation was made for laundry extension and for laundry
dry room. No part of this money was used during the period, but a contract has been made for a drying machine, and further additions will
be made to the laundry as fast as possible.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $600.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for the construction of a porch at Cottage 32 for tuberculous patients. This porch
3
18
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
was partially completed and at the close of business on June 30th, 1914;
$329.25 remained to its credit in the hands of the treasurer. The porch
will be finished within a few weeks.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $10,000.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for a dining
room for cottages for men. An architect was employed, and it was
found that a building of necessary size to meet the present needs of the
hospital, to say nothing of future needs, was entirely inadequate, and
therefore the appropriation has not been drawn. This is a very much
needed improvement, and we respectfully request your Honorable Body
for an additional appropriation of $14,125.40, to build a dining room
for 500 men patients.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $1,000.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature to reimburse
the hospital for culvert built in the rear of the hospital to divert storm
water or flood water around the institution to the north. This money
has been placed to the credit of the hospital to replace money expended
in the purchase of material used in the construction of the culvert.
NEEDS OF THE HOSPITAL.
The hospital is very greatly in need of a building for a chapel and
amusement hall, of additional farm lands, and of a home for women
nurses. We would respectfully call your attention to these needs without requesting appropriations for them. The following requests for appropriations are to meet the absolute needs of the hospital. The hospital is growing in numbers, and conditions of care and treatment are
changing, all of which necessitates improvements.
CARPENTER AND PAINT SHOP.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to appropriate the
sum of $8,452.00 for the construction of a building to be used as a carpenter and paint shop. The present room occupied as a carpenter shop
is entirely inadequate for the purpose. We cannot too strongly urge in
the interests of economy, and safety from fire, the granting of this appropriation. As reported to previous Legislatures, the present blacksmith shop and carpenter shop can be converted into a blacksmith shop
and store room for engineering materials.
GENERAL DINING-ROOM FOR COTTAGES FOR
MEN.
An appropriation of $10,000 was passed by the last Legislature for
the construction of a central dining-room for men. Subsequently the
preparing of plans for the building was placed in the hands of Mr. Wm.
T. Cooper, of Saginaw, Mich. After his plans were drawn and estimates
made, it was found that a dining room such as would meet the needs of
the hospital, would cost $24,125.40. This would necessitate an additional
appropriation of $14,125.40 to complete the building. If this diningroom is authorized, the old dining-rooms and kitchens, store rooms, etc.,

COTTAGES FOR MEN

19
in connection with each cottage, can be converted into dormitories, and
additional room made for 140 men patients. If new accommodations
were built for this number of patients, the cost would be about $70,000.00. It may be seen from a purely economic standpoint, that the
construction of the new dining room would be greatly to the advantage
of the State. This dining room, if authorized, would also enable the
institution to abandon the old central kitchen and change it into a
special department for cold storage and domestic science work. The
domestic science work includes the instruction of patients in cooking,
also in the preparation of fruits and vegetables for canning, bread and
cake making, pastry making, etc. Further, the dining room, if authorized, would concentrate the work that is now carried on in a number of
dining rooms, and at less cost for labor, skilled cooks and oversight, etc.
HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEMS FOR COTTAGES 24 AND 26.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriaation of f 12,000 for the installation of a new heating and ventilating
system in these buildings. The cost of this work is estimated on bids
that were made for its installation by the Thomas Heating Co., of Racine,
Wis., two years ago.
ADDITIONS TO DINING ROOMS
NORTH AND SOUTH.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of $2,394.75, for an addition to the south dining room, and the
same amount for an addition to the north dining room of the main
building. These dining rooms were built from the appropriations made
for the extensions to the north and south wings, and were only intended to provide dining room space for two wards on each floor of the
main building. After they came into operation they were found so useful that all the patients of the wing were crowded in them. The object
of these additions is to make sufficient serving room space for them.
This will require a room about 15x25 feet, and the construction of a new
elevator shaft for each. This is a much needed improvement. We doubt
if there is any more desirable system for the serving of food to a large
hospital population that the one to be found here.
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.
During the past few years industrial and diversional occupations
have become a very important part in the treatment of patients as well
as in the economy of the hospital. We have been obliged to use for this
department basement rooms. They are much too small and are not as
sanitary as they should be to accommodate large numbers of patients.
The domestic science work is so very important that we feel it imperative to request of your Honorable Body an appropriation of $9,000 to
build a small building in which this work may be properly conducted.
DAIRY BARN.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of $5,000 for the construction of a dairy barn. The present barns
are fully occupied. The dairy must be increased if it is to produce all of
20
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
the milk used by the hospital. The number of patients has increased
quite rapidly, and the hospital has been buying milk for some time. We
would strongly recommend this appropriation as an economic proposition.
FENCING.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of f 1,500 to construct 1,320 feet of iron fence in front of the hospital grounds. The present fence is built of wood. It has been in use 28
years, and is practically decayed. It must be replaced. The cost of an
iron fence would be only slightly greater than that of a wooden one,
and would be very much more durable.
LAUNDRY MACHINERY.
Your Honorable Body is requested to grant an appropriation of
$2,500 for the purchase of five washing machines and for the installation
of the same. The machines we now have have been steadily in use since
1895. They have been repaired and re-built until they can no longer be
made serviceable. They will have to be replaced.
GRATE FOR BOILER NO. 3.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to make an appropriation of $2,500 for the re-setting of Boiler No. 3, and the installation of
an automatic chain grate under same. The present grate is worn out.
Chain grates are in use under the other boilers, are economic and highly
efficient as stokers.
ADDITION TO COLD STORAGE PLANT.
In case your Honorable Body grants the appropriation for a new
dining room for male patients, we would respectfully request an appropriation of $5,500 to re-fit part of the rooms in the old central kitchen
into cold storage rooms. Our cold storage plant is too small. There is
not a proper room at present in which the hospital can store fresh fruits
and vegetables or canned goods which are put up from its gardens and
orchards. At the present writing there are about 10,000 quarts of
canned fruits which have been put up from the farm, and which are
stored in the basement. Additional cold storage is an imperative necessity for the hospital.
FIRE PROTECTION FOR FARM BARNS.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of |8,000.00 for the purchase and installation of fire protection for
the farm barns. The farm buildings and the stock have a value of not
less than $75,000, and are practically without fire protection. The
Board especially recommends this appropriation for the installation of
an automatic fire sprinkling apparatus, and for the construction of a
reservoir and purchase of necessary pumps, etc.

The general management of the farm is under the direction of Mr.
G. B. Pike, the Steward, and under him, Mr. Kelley has the management
of the general farming operations, Mr. Tobler of the horticultural department, gardens and grounds, Mr. Pennell of the orchards, and Mr.
Hatch of the dairy and dairy barns. A goodly amount of food supplies
has been raised on the farm. The above report shows that $7,725.30
worth of cattle were sold during the period. The value of milk produced exceeded $35,000.00. The orchards have come into bearing
rapidly, and practically produce all of the fruits used by the hospital
population. We mention as a matter of pride that during the period
the hospital received a silver medal from the exhibition of the International Apple Shippers' Association at Cleveland for the best individual display of fruits; gained 11 prizes for its cattle from the Chicago
cattle show in 1913; and also a blue ribbon from the Boston exhibition
of the International Apple Shippers' Association, 1914.
As previously mentioned in this report, the farm, orchards, etc., form
a vast workshop for men patients, and with their growth, still larger
numbers of patients will find employment in connection with them.
During the last season a large number of men patients were engaged in
gathering the fruit, and quite a number of women patients assisted in
the preparation and canning of fruits.
We regret to report that during the period a thorough test of the
herd for tuberculosis showed that about 20 head of the cattle were infected. These cattle were turned over to the State Live Stock Commission, and through them were slaughtered under the supervision of the
United States Sanitary Inspectors of Detroit. This was a great loss to
the dairy. Every effort is made to prevent the invasion of the disease
among the cattle, and tuberculin tests are made once or twice a year of
the entire herd.
During the last season two sections of the dairy barns have been refitted with modern sanitary stalls. This includes a complete outfit for
caring for calves. The stalls are of iron and concrete, the floors are of

concrete covered with cork brick where the cattle stand. These stables
are perfect in their appointments and sanitation.
There were several voluntary admissions during the period, and we
believe if the law providing for such admissions were more generally
known, that a large number of patients would take advantage of it. We
believe that the hospital should be open to the treatment of all forms
of nervous and mental diseases, and we would especially urge the Legislature to consider the feasibility of establishing a general hospital department in connection with the hospital, where patients suffering from
any form of disease, or in need of care and treatment, would find a suitable place. It seems a pity that the hospital, with its magnificent equipment, should be restricted to the care and treatment of one class of our
afflicted citizens.
RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.
The total receipts of the hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1913, including cash on hand and credits on special appropriations
accounts, were f311,954.68; and the total disbursements for the same
period, including special appropriations, were $305,771.12.
The total receipts of the hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1914, including cash on hand and credits on special appropriations
accounts, were $371,113.70; and the total disbursements for the same
period, including special appropriations, were $340,826.82.
There was at the close of the biennial period ending June 30, 1914,
$30,286.88 in the hands of the treasurer; $17,258.06 of which amount
was to the credit of the current expense account, and the balance of
$13,028.82, unexpended balance to the credit of special appropriations
accounts.
OFFICERS.
In 1913, Hon. Wm. Lloyd, of Manistee, Mich., was reappointed to
the Board. Mr. Lloyd had served as member of the Board since 1907,
and was at the time of his reappointment, and is at the present time,
President of the Board.
In 1913, Hon. C. D. Alway, of Traverse City, Mich., was appointed to
the Board. Mr. Alway is a lawyer by profession, and brings with him
much experience in his profession.
In July, 1913, Dr. R. F. Wafer was appointed assistant physician.
He came highly recommended.
Dr. S. C. Mies resigned July 1st, 1913. We regret to state that the
services of Dr. G. V. Sigler, who was appointed to the staff in February,
1913, were dispensed with in June, 1913.
We regret to report the death of Mr. T. T. Bates, who was a member
of the Board for many years. Mr. Bates became a member of the Board
of Building Commissioners of the hospital in 1885, and after the work
of the Building Commission was finished, he was continued as Trustee.
During all those years he was a faithful officer of the State. His general knowledge, together with his information concerning the hospital,
was a source of inspiration to those associated with him, and to the
officers of the hospital. Mr. Bates felt a deep interest in all that pertained to the institution. He was a true and loyal friend to all those
in trouble; he always favored every movement that looked to the better-
24

ment of the hospital in every direction. By his death the State and the
institution lost a valued servant.
In closing this report, we can only say that we believe that each and
every Trustee, and each and every officer and employee of the institution, has appreciated the necessity for giving his best to the institution.
We are conscious that steady progress is being made in hospital management, and in the care and treatment of the insane, and we further
believe it is the duty of every employee of the State, from Trustee down,
to direct, as far as possible everything that pertains to the welfare and
improvement of patients.

If these statistics are compared with those of the last period it will
be found that there were 150 more admissions and 46 more discharges.
If the patients admitted from the Pontiac and the Newberry State
Hospital districts are counted, there was a net gain of 119 patients
under treatment in the hospital. The percentage of patients discharged
recovered on the whole number under treatment was slightly greater
than for the last period. The smallest number of patients under treatment in any one day was 1,398, and the largest number was 1,535. The
death rate was slightly greater than for the previous period.

One hundred fifty-three patients or 51% of those who died, were over
55 years old; 21 of the number were over 80 years old. The deaths from
tuberculosis were 19% of the deaths from all causes, an increase of
4.9% during the last two years. We are unable to account for this increase. It is possible that more patients were admitted suffering from
the disease during the period, and it may be due to causes entirely acci-

dental. We do not believe that there has been appreciable increase in
the occurring cases in the institution. As during many years past every
effort is taken to prevent the development or spread of the disease in
the hospital. Separate departments for each sex are maintained for the
care and treatment of tuberculous cases. Syphilis caused 14.6% of
deaths, nearly as many as tuberculosis. Arterial degenerations and
consecutive organic disease caused 51% of the deaths. Diseases of the
circulatory organs are the cause of a large percentage of mental disease. An analysis of the above summary would show that nearly 90%
of all the deaths were due to organic and incurable diseases.
The following table showing the forms of mental disease is no longer
in use, but is inserted to show the classification of patients up to June
30, 1906, since which time a modification of the well known classification
of Kraepelin has been used in all the asylums of Michigan.

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Table IV shows that 27.8% of the patients admitted were suffering
from organic diseases, 17% from dementia praecox, 9.7% from paranoia
and paranoid states, 6.5% from epilepsy, 22% from manic depressive
insanity, 5.5% from alcoholic and drug insanity, and 11% from
arrested mental development. This table does not show that there
has been any marked increase in the various forms of insanity other
than that in the imbecile group. During the previous two years 6.4%
of the patients admitted were classified as mentally defective. This
shows an increase of nearly 5% in the admissions of the imbecile class.
As mentioned in our last report, it is becoming increasingly evident
that the segregation of the feeble-minded is a matter of the utmost importance to the social welfare, and that a most definite economy would
be secured by providing adequate accommodations. Undoubtedly, the
opening of the colony for epileptics at Wahjamega will relieve the stress
at Lapeer and that institution will be able to receive a much larger
number of feeble-minded than has heretofore been possible. It should
be the duty of the State to see that adequate provisions are made for
the care and safeguarding of this class. "Poverty and crime grow in
direct proportion to the freedom the State gives to feeble-minded, subnormals and morons." The State should attend that these individuals are not only properly cared for but that they should be heldin suitable institutions. We also hope that the colony at Wahjamega
will soon be able to relieve the hospital of many of its epileptic patients.
A great deal of clinical work has been performed during the last two
years, and arrangement is being made to introduce the Abderhalden
method of diagnosis of dementia praecox and other nervous statesOther research work is being carried out in collaboration with the
Eugenics Commission of the State, and with the Psychopathic Hospi'tal
at Ann Arbor, Mich. You have incorporated in your report an outlineor summary of the work accomplished in the laboratory during theperiod; therefore, it will not be necessary to repeat it. About the usual
number of surgical operations was performed during the period, and
there was one obstetrical case.
The work in the training school for nurses was carried on with enthusiasm, and successfully. The field of instruction has been enlarged,,
and the teaching has improved with the increased experience of thestaff. There were 14 graduates from the school in both 1913 and 1914.
A list of the graduates is appended to this report.
The medical work is carried on as carefully as possible, and effort is
made to keep pace with the most modern methods of treatment. The
detailed reports presented herewith will demonstrate that the strictest
economy has been practiced in all departments, and that the aim has
been to maintain the highest efficiency in the hospital.
The following tables will give a brief analysis of the clinical forms of
mental diseases admitted during the period. These statistics have been
presented in this form for several years, and are of increasing value for
comparative purposes. We are enabled from these statistics, accumulated from each of the hospitals of Michigan, to determine with considerable accuracy the percentage of each of these types of mental disease to the total population of the State. The principal lesson learned:
from the past two years is that luetic diseases and alcoholic derangements are two of the principal causative factors of insanity and degen-

eracy. The constantly increasing numbers in the imbecile group all
show the great necessity for supervision of marriage, and the necessity
for careful eugenic statistics. All these matters require the most careful thought from our Legislators, teachers, social workers and professional men, and from all those interested in the upbuilding of the race.
From the Wasserman tests made on patients in the State of Michigan
during the last year, the astonishing fact is revealed that about 15%
of all patients admitted to the institutions are infected with luetic
disease.

Act 84, Public Acts of 1912, made provision for the reception in the
State Hospitals of cases of inebriety and of drug addiction. We
have had sent to us a few patients under this Act. There is no
special form in the classification for their reception, and they have been
placed in the alcoholic group under alcoholic paranoid conditions.
There were 11 men committed by the various counties, principally
Grand Traverse, and 2 women. A few of the cases of chronic alcoholism
were committed on regular insane orders.
MORPHINISM.
There were received into the hospital during the past biennial period
4 men committed because of addiction to the vise of opium. Of these
four, two had been with us on one or more previous occasions; the
other two were committed for the first time. One after a short residence was discharged, and has remained well up to date. The fourth
patient is still with us and shows other mental involvement than that
due to the use of opium.
There were three women entered because of the use of opium in one
form or another. One of the three had been a patient here on two previous occasions, and after a residence of about 6 months was discharged.
Thus far she has remained well as far as we have been able to learn.
One of the other two has been away from the institution for over a vear

and is perfectly free from any indications of the return of the habit.
The third woman remained with us but a short time, less than a week,
and was taken home improved. She has not been heard of since.

In explanation it may be said that 12 cases were treated with neosal=
varsan from January 1, 1914. Cases include general syphilis, cerebrospinal syphilis, and general paresis. These cases received intensive
treatment of neosalvarsan. Method of treatment consisted of the intravenous administration of neosalvarsan, given weekly, from 6 to 12
doses being given. In addition, 3 cases of general paresis received intradural injections of autoserosalvarsan, bi-weekly, according to
method of Swift-Ellis, in all 8 injections being given in each case.
Three cases of general paresis received intradural injections of from
8 to 12 milligrams of neosalvarsan, according to the method of Bavaut,
two injections being given in each case, systemic treatment being carried out in all cases, as mentioned above.
In the cases of general syphilis and cerebro spinal syphilis, all showed
subsidence of specific symptoms and improvement in general health. In
the cases of general paresis treated by the Swift-Ellis method, two cases
showed marked improvement, complete restoration of mental faculties,
with, however, a persistence of the physical signs of lesser degree. Onecase, late in the disease, showed pronounced remission for several
months with later a return of the symptoms.
One case of general paresis treated by Eavaut method has shown improvement mentally. Two cases have shown no especial change.
In two of the cases of general syphilis the patients at time of discharge did not react to the Wasserman test.

During the last few months the treatment of dementia praecox by the
so-called Lundvall remedy has been used. Treatment consists of the
use of sodium nucleinate for the production of hyperleucocytosis. In
all, five cases of dementia praecox (hebephrenic form) are receiving
treatment. Subcutaneous injections of the following solution are given:
Sodium nucleinate 10.000; arsenous acid 0.005; sodium cinnamate
1.000; distilled water 40.000. From 2 to 15 c. c. of the solution are
given at intervals of 4 days. A moderate rise in temperature from 2 to
4 degrees of from 2 to 3 days' duration, is usually noted. In one case,
on several occasions temperature reached 105 degrees, with nausea and
vomiting. In three cases no notable change in leucocyte count; in one
case moderate leucocytosis up to 12,000. In one case leucocyte count
reached 18,000.
All cases have been under treatment for several months. All show
some loss in appetite and weight. No noticeable improvement in
mental condition.
It goes without saying that this experience is not wide enough to
justify any conclusions in regard to the value of the Lundvall remedy.
As before mentioned, the Abderhalden tests are being applied and
further treatment of cases will be continued with the nucleins as well
as with the hormones. We anticipate that there are many cases that
will be benefitted by these newer methods of treatment of dementia
praecox.

MELANCHOLIA.
One male patient was diagnosed as a case of melancholia, the first
attack of insanity occurring late in life, about 50, characterized by the
usual ideas of personal unworthiness and many visceral delusions.
This patient, according to the latest ideas, might have been placed in
the manic depressive group.

UNCLASSIFIED GROUP.
Seven men and one woman were not classified during the biennial
period.
Two men were with us but a short time, were defective criminals, and
escaped.
One' man was a foreigner, and was deported by order of the United
States authorities.
One man was a syphilitic case and came before the officials of a neighboring county for repeated thefts, undoubtedly a case of kleptomania.
He improved very much under specific treatment and was finally discharged.
The other cases were not sufficiently clear to be placed in any of the
groups of our classification.
NOT INSANE.
One patient, a Pinlauder, committed from the Upper Peninsula following a state of illness or debauch, not clear, who did not appear to be
mentally involved while in the institution. He was therefore classified
as not insane and discharged about one month after he came.

The following is the report of the State Board of Corrections and
Charities on the above requests for appropriations:
STATE BOARD OP CORRECTIONS AND CHARITIES,,
LANSING, MICHIGAN, November 6, 1914.
Dr. James D. Munson, Medical Superintendent, Traverse City State
Hospital, Traverse City, Michigan:
Dear Sir—The estimates of appropriations for the Traverse City
State Hospital for the biennial period ending June 30, 1917, as presented to the members of this board at the time of the inspection of
your Hospital on September 10, 1914, have been approved with the exception of item No. 7, the same being a request for an appropriationi
of $1,500 for 1,320 feet of iron fencing for front of grounds.
By order of the board.
Verv respectfully,
" JNO. N. McCORMIOK, .
Chairman.

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
CHAPEL SERVICES.
Religious services have been conducted regularly by the Chaplain, Kev.
D. Cochlin, assisted by Eevs. Mr. Slade, Mr. Irving, Mr. Lay and Mr.
Coates, all of Traverse City.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
To all those who have in any way contributed to the welfare and comfort of our patients our best thanks are extended.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion we may say that our relations with the State, with
other hospitals, with the county officials, etc., have been harmonious,
and there has been cordial cooperation between the institution and the
county and state officials in everything that pertains to the best interest
of the hospital.
As a Board, you have given unusual attention to the hospital and its
management, and it was due to your efforts largely that the right of
way for the side track was secured and railway connection accomplished between the hospital and the railroads entering Traverse City.
I am not unmindful of my obligations to you and to my associates on
the staff and to all the employes of the hospital. It is a matter of
great gratification to me to be able to state that there have been few
occurrences during the last two years that have required special attention at your hands. The hospital was never at a higher standard of
efficiency than it is at this time.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
J. D. MTJNSON,
Medical Superintendent.
Traverse City State Hospital, October, 1914.

APPENDIX.
The asylums of Michigan are organized and governed under organic law.
an act known as Act 217, Laws of 1903. This act has for its
title "An Act to revise and consolidate the laws organizing
asylums for the insane and to regulate the care, management
and use thereof, and to provide for the apprehension of persons believed to be insane, and for their care and custody."
The above act was modified in no essential respect as regards commitment of patients by the Laws of 1907, but Section 72, Public Acts of 1907, contains very important provisions regarding the care of persons who are not legal residents of the State of Michigan. The act is too long to
justify its insertion, but all officers and persons interested
in the commitment of patients, whose residence is in doubt,
are requested to study the different sections of this act.
The government of asylums is vested in boards of trustees Government.
appointed by the Governor. (Section 3.)
The State is divided into districts by the Joint Board of j
Trustees. (Section 8.) The counties comprising the district
of the Traverse City State Hospital are:

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
A patient is not to be committeed to an asylum of a district other than that of which he is a resident unless the
court adjudicates that there is no room in the latter, and
that there is in the former. (Section 8.)
Patients are divided into three classes: Public'patients,
private patients, and voluntary patients. (Section 13.)
Voluntary patients are patients who are not insane. They
are kept and maintained without expense to the State, but
cannot be received so long as there may be applications for
the admission of public or private patients not cared for because of lack of room. In other words, there must be room
for all others seeking admission before any voluntary patients can be received.
Sec. 14, Act 155, Laws 1911, as amended by Act 94, Laws
1913, "Provides that such persons as may have been or may
hereafter be adjudged to be so addicted to the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors, or narcotic or noxious drugs, as to be
in need of medical and sanitary treatment and care, for
whose person a guardian has or may be appointed with
power to restrain his said ward in some suitable hospital or
asylum for treatment."
Both public and private patients can be received only on
an order from a probate court declaring the patient insane
and stating the method of support,—whether public or private. Such an order is void unless patient is sent to the asylum within thirty days after it is issued. (Section 16.)
Besides the order of commitment from the court, there
must accompany a private patient a bond guaranteeing the
payment of his bills. The law (Section 16) makes it incumbent upon the court to see that this bond is furnished.
Until this bond is furnished the patient is regarded as a
public charge. There is also required an advance payment
of fifty dollars. Future payments are made at the close of
each quarter.
New bonds may be called for at any time by the medical
superintendent, and the law requires the court to see that
such new bonds are provided. (Section 16).
Provision is made (Section 16) for the reception of both
public and private patients on temporary orders wherever
conditions demand immediate attention.
Section 21 provides for the transfer of a patient from private expense to public expense where conditions warrant such
a change.
Section 30 provides for the temporary reception and care
of insane who are not residents of this State.
Section 32 provides for the return to the asylum without a
new order of patients who have been discharged on trial,
where the duration of the temporary absence does not exceed
six months.
TRAVERSE CITY STATE HOSPITAL.

The attention of county officers is particularly called to the insane women
provisions of Section 40 regarding the state of bodily cleanli'
ness and the clothing of patients brought to the asylum, and
more particularly to that clause of the section providing for
a female attendant for insane women.
In conveying a patient to the asylum do not deceive him. Removal of
Truth should not be compromised by professing a visit to the gome"ts 'rom
institution, and, on arrival, suggesting to the patient the idea
of staying, when his admission has already been decided
upon; nor should patients be induced to come and "stay a
few days to see how they like it," under the impression that
they can leave at pleasure. This.course not only destroys
confidence in friends, but also in the officers of the asylum,
by giving patients an impression that they are parties to the
deception.
Removal to the asylum should never be attempted when the
patient is much prostrated or laboring under severe bodily
illness., and care should be taken that the excitement attending acute mental disease be not mistaken for physical
strength.
As friends of patients are often in doubt as to what arti- clothing,
cles of clothing it is necessary to provide the following suggestions are made:
Male patients require 3 new shirts, 1 new and substantial
coat and vest, 2 pairs of pantaloons, 3 pairs socks, 2 pairs
drawers, 2 undershirts, 1 hat or cap, 1 cravat, 3 collars, 6
handkerchiefs, 1 pair of shoes or boots, 1 pair slippers, 1
overcoat.
Female patients should have 3 calico dresses, 3 chemise, 3
pairs drawers, 4 pairs hose, 3 night-dresses, 3 cotton-flannel
skirts, 6 handkerchiefs, 4 collars, 1 pair shoes, 1 pair slippers,
1 shawl or cloak, 1 hat, hood or nubia, 4 aprons.
The outfit should be liberal when circumstances permit.
As nearly all the patients go regularly into the open air each
day, it is desirable that they be furnished with clothing of a
character to enable them to go comfortably in all weather,
and also to appear at little social gatherings. When desired,
articles of clothing, etc., will be furnished at the institution.
Jewelry should not be brought with patients. // such articles
are left in their possession the asylum cannot be responsible
for their safe keeping.
All letters concerning patients, from individuals having con-espondthe right to make inquiry, will be answered at once; and encefriends are promptly advised of any severe illness, accident,
or event of moment or interest. The postoffice and telegraphic addresses of one correspondent in each case .are reforded, to whom such communications are sent. Letters are
frequently received to which replies cannot be mailed, for the
reason that the postoffice address is not clearly given. A
little care on the part of friends will often save them disappointment and the asylum unmerited censure. Information

concerning inmates will not be given to casual visitors, except at the written request of friends.
Where relatives of patients desire friends who are not
members of the family to visit patients, they should, in every
instance, furnish these friends with a letter of introduction,
authorising the interview.
Application for admission should ~be made before the patient is brought to the asylum. A blank will be furnished
the friends which provides for a complete history of the patients trouble.
All correspondence in reference to patients should be addressed to Dr. James D. Munson, Northern Michigan Asylum,
Traverse City.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
To the Governor and Legislature of the State of Michigan:
The Trustees of the Traverse City State Hospital have the honor to
submit their report for the biennial period ending June 30, 1914, together with the reports of the Medical Superintendent, Treasurer and
Steward.
The period has been an interesting one, not only because of discoveries in the treatment of certain conditions, but of increased efficiency in the general management of the hospital. The general application of the Wasserman method,—a positive means of clinical diagnosis
of luetic diseases,—and of recently discovered means for the curative
treatment of these disorders, mark, perhaps, the most important advance in the field of neurological medicine. Helpful advance has been
made in the diagnosis of dementia praecox by the use of the FauserAbderhalden defensive ferment test, and in its treatment by the nucleinate of sodium,—the so-called Lundvall treatment. The Abderhalden
test opens a wide field, and will become a part of the clinical routine in.
the investigation of cases. In the Medical Superintendent's report
brief mention is made regarding the treatment of luetic diseases and of
dementia praecox by recent methods.
Although the cost of living continued high, yet the maintenance rate
was not increased. Notwithstanding that the hospital had to pay its
pro rata (f5,193.93) to the State for insurance on its property, etc., in
accordance with the provisions of Act 388, Laws of 1913, yet the actual
cost of maintenance was within 50 cents per patient per day. The
1914-15 rate has been fixed at 50 cents per patient per day, including
fire insurance and workingmen's liability insurance, as provided by law.
We would respectfully suggest to your Honorable Body that the cost of
fire insurance for State institutions and for workingmen's compensation
under the Liability Law, should be charged against the general fund of
the State and not assessed pro rata among the institutions of the State.
This method would be more business like, more direct, and would afford
a saving in overhead charges.
Every effort has been made to increase the efficiency of the hospital in
all its departments. The orchards, dairy, farm and gardens have grown
greatly in usefulness, and a handsome profit has been derived from
them. The fruits grown supplied the hospital with all its fresh fruits
and with much of its preserved fruits. Their value amounts to a considerable sum. The health value of fruits grown to maturity, and consumed in fresh state, is greater than that of fruits imported from a distance. Imported fruits are usually gathered green, and ripen under
artificial conditions, and are not as healthful as fruits matured at home.
In their possibilities these departments are only at the threshold.

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
The "Board of Stewards" has made many joint purchases for the institutions of the State. This plan has thus far worked well, and will
continue to work well so long as quality of supplies is regarded of first
importance. Inferior or "old stock" provisions may cost less, but their
use is ever at the expense of the health of the hospital. A few more
cases of illness in the hospital, traceable to inferior foods, would cost
vastly more than the difference between inferior and first class supplies
would amount to. Expert inspection of foods and the proper cooking of
foods are of great importance to the health of the household.
The cooking is supervised by the dietitian, and foods are prepared not
only more scientifically, but in a more attractive and palatable manner.
Quite recently the patients have been arranged in groups, and foods
prepared and served according to the needs of each group. The first
group includes all those who are physically able to eat in dining rooms
and without special supervision. The second group includes those who
were formerly fed from trays because of untidiness or violence; and
the third group includes those confined to bed. The second group cases
require very special supervision, not only in reference to the kind of
foods they eat, but to have them eat in a proper manner. Eggs, soups,
-cereals, vegetables and fruits enter largely into the dietary of this group.
The menus are varied from day to day and their nutritive value carefully estimated, so that there is a just balance maintained in the proteid, carbohydrate and fat contents. For the third group the dietary is
prescribed by the physicians to meet the needs of each case. Women
patients are instructed by the dietitian in the preparation and service
of foods, and assist in many ways in the preparation and preservation
•of fruits, etc. This is one of the most useful diversional occupations
for women patients. So far this period, women patients have largely
assisted in the preparation of fruits for canning, in cake and special
bread making, etc. Instruction in bread, cake and pastry making will
be extended as fast as suitable room for the purpose can be provided.
DIETETICS.
Each year for several years an analysis of food used in certain portions of the hospital for a given length of time has been made, and the
following tables will show the result of these analyses for several of the
cottages. They are informative of the approximate calorie value of the
food materials furnished,—whether too much or too little proteid, carbohydrate, or fat, etc., etc. These analyses furnish a base on which food
requisitions are made, and in the treatment of many patients are of as
much value as is the determination of calorie content of foods used in
the typhoid, diabetic or nephritic patient. If, for example, the analysis
shows too much fat or too much proteid or too much carbohydrate, it is
comparatively easy to correct any deficiency or excess that may exist in
these elements. The dietetic treatment of mental cases is of just as
much value as it is in general diseases. The body metabolism is impaired in the majority of cases, and the patients are, by reason of their
mental state, unable to cooperate with the physicians in properly eating.
We know in many cases without the utmost care in this direction patients go on to fatal exhaustion. Body metabolism is an extremely
^complicated matter in both health and disease. The value of dietetic
TRAVERSE CITY STATE HOSPITAL.
treatment of the insane can hardly be over-estimated. In conclusion we
may say that in arranging dietaries, the first consideration has been to
give the patients a diet suited to their health needs and at the lowest
possible cost.
The following analyses were made by Miss N. B. Clark, dietitian of
the hospital.

Added experience confirms the great value of dietetics in nervous and
physical condition of ill health. It opens tip a field for better foods,
better cooking and for the education and employment, especially of
women patients.
DOMESTIC ARTS AXD SCIENCES.
A department of domestic science and arts was established during the
period, not only to increase the efficiency of the working force, but to introduce as fast as practical, the so-called diversional occupations. All of
the dress-making, repair of clothing, etc., falls in this department. An
effort is made to employ, not so much the willing worker, as the depressed, the indifferent, inhibited praecox cases; all those, in fact, who
require urging if they accomplish any useful thing. It is believed that
every patient who is bodily able, will, under proper supervision, perform
some useful work, and in praecox cases, particularly, the march to
dementia arrested, or even the mental condition of the patient improved.
The work of patients is frequently interrupted by luncheons, music, and
games, and diversified by the teaching of fancy work. This field should
be extended, so that every woman patient will be able to add, by her own
industry, to her own well being and to that of others. The room devoted
to this department, in the basement, is not only too small, but in every
way inadequate for the purpose. As will later appear, we shall ask your
12
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Honorable Body for an appropriation to construct a suitable building
in which to carry on this important work.
OCCUPATION FOR MEN.
To provide occupations for men is not difficult, as the work of the
farm, gardens and grounds are especially suited for all classes of patients. Many men patients work with absorbing interest under the
direction of the orchardist, of the horticulturist, of the herdsman, etc.,
from which they gain not only health and strength, but knowledge
which they can apply in the conduct of their affairs at home. About
one-half of the men are usefully employed every day. Epileptics, imbeciles, seniles, tuberculous and organic patients, are able to do little,
if any, work. With trained nurses and vocational instructors, nearly
every patient save these can be enlisted in work, to their benefit.
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
The training school has been conducted with care, to fit the pupil for
the highest usefulness in mental nursing. Mental nursing is widening
on many lines,—the education of patients, vocational instruction, diversional occupations, various forms of amusements,—all require the highest intelligence and scientific training for their successful attainment.
Because of these demands, more men and women are seeking this special
form of training,—even graduates of general hospital schools are seeking entrance into our school, hoping to gain wider knowledge and to
make a life work of the care of the insane. During the period just
closed there were twenty-eight graduates from the training school.
Many of these nurses, as during former years, severed their connection
with the hospital soon after graduation to enter the training schools
and hospitals of the large cities. As just mentioned, however, graduates of metropolitan schools are seeking post work in our mental
schools, and in this way our service may gain in trained nurses what it
loses.
CLINICAL AND RESEARCH WORK.
This work has been under the general direction of Dr. J. A. Hall.
The following is a brief report of the examinations and other work done.
The Wasserman work has been done in collaboration with the Psychopathic Hospital at Ann Arbor, and it is interesting to note that of the
luetic cases treated, two were discharged cured. These patients were
apparently in normal mental health, and the blood and spinal fluid no
longer gave the Wasserman reaction. It is also interesting to note that
of the total number of cases tested, 15.2% of the men and 7% of the
women gave positive Wasserman reactions. This demonstrates how
vast a place specific disease takes in the etiology of mental disease.

In addition to the Wasserman work the study of alcohol as an etiologic factor in insanity was carried on. Also the heredity of each
and every patient admitted during the last year was carefully studied,
in collaboration with the Michigan Eugenics Commission.
EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
During the months of September, October and November, 1913, there
was a small outbreak of typhoid fever in the hospital. As soon as the
diagnosis of typhoid was established, suitable rooms for the care and
nursing of the patients were prepared, which were sufficiently isolated
to prevent the spread of the disease. The most interesting question to
consider was its source. How did the germs find their way into the
hospital? Samples of the water used for domestic purposes, and
samples of the milk used in the hospital, were immediately sent to the
State Board of Health. Examination proved these specimens negative.
The State Board of Health was requested to send a representative to
investigate the disease and locate its source, if possible. The Board
very kindly sent Dr. C. C. Slemons, Health Officer of Grand Eapids, to
make the necessary investigations. In view of the negative report on
water and milk, and of the localization of the cases in the hospital, Dr.
Slemons first investigated if a carrier had been admitted. He also
inquired into the nursing of the patients previous to their sickness.
It was found that one nurse had cared for all of them, and that this
14
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
nurse never had had typhoid or been in contact with the disease. Bacteriological examinations showed that she was free from typhoid germs,
—that she was not a carrier. It was thought that there might be a
patient who was a carrier and who might have distributed the germs to
the patients attacked. One patient who had been bed-ridden for gome
months from chronic intestinal trouble was strongly suspected. All
tests of this patient proved negative. The Widal test was made of all
patients admitted to the wards where patients were ill during a period
three weeks previous to September 8th. All examinations proved negative. We may say that every effort made to trace the source of the
disease was without avail. It still remains a mystery.
Within a few days 10 patients were attacked. All recovered but one.
This patient, who was an epileptic, had a very severe convulsion in the
midst of her sickness, and if it was not directly the cause of her death,
it probably hastened it. Prophylactic vaccination with typhoid bactuins of all patients was authorized. About 1,500 of these vaccinations
were made, two for each person. The "first dose was of 5 million bacterins, and the second of 1,000 million bacteria. No serious illness or
reaction followed these vaccinations. Whether without them the disease would have limited itself to the 10 cases cannot be said. At any
rate, no further cases occurred.
. Diphtheria made its appearance in the hospital just previous to the
beginning of the period. The disease was controlled by the use of
antitoxins.
VIOLENT DEATHS.
One homicide occurred. C. B. died of strangulation produced by a
fellow patient. There were no suicides. One patient, an epileptic,
suffocated in his pillow during a convulsion.
TRANSFER OF PATIENTS.
Three patients were transferred to the Ionia State Hospital; one
was deported to Europe; one was transferred to the Kalamazoo State
Hospital; and one was returned to Illinois.
The hospital has been able to care for all patients within its district,
and many from the dewberry and Pontiac State Hospital Districts.
INCREASE OF PATIENTS.
The net gain in patients during the period was, men, 79, women, 40,
total, 119. If the patients received from outside the hospital district,
94 men and 53 women, total 147,—are deducted from the total admissions, the net loss in the district during the period was 29. The average
increase of patients for the last twenty-eight years has been 21.7 per
year.
Of the 700 patients admitted:
23 had been confined in county houses.
124 had been confined in jails.
109 had been treated in other asylums.
22 were said to have been destructive.
34 had attempted or threatened suicide.

DISCHARGE OP PATIENTS,, READMISSIONS,, ETC.
There were 581 patients discharged during the period,—337 men and
244 women. Of this number 83 were discharged recovered, 150 improved,
49 unimproved and 299 died. The percentage of recoveries on the whole
number under treatment was 4%; on the number admitted 11.8%. The
death rate was 88 per thousand, 1912-13, and 80 per thousand, 1913-14.
The readmissions for the period, were, men, 55; women, 52; total, 107.
The readmissions from the beginning have been, men, 369; women, 356;
total, 725. The total number of admissions, 6,530, represents 5,805
individuals.
The daily average of patients for the period was 1,492. The number
of weeks spent in the institution by patients was 155,599 1/71. This was
an increase of 101 in daily average, and an increase of 10,196 2/7 weeks'
board over the preceding period.
On June 30, 1914, there were 1,486 patients under treatment at State
expense, and 31 at private expense.
There were 271 persons employed at the hospital on June 30, 1914, in
the positions and at the wages given in the schedule accompanying this
report.
ORDINARY REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
During the year ending June 30, 1913, the cost of repairs was $18,329.53, and for the year ending June 30, 1914, $17,435.33. A number of
minor repairs and improvements were made during the period. Among
the more important was the purchase of a flag staff, construction of a
small garage for Steward's use, purchase of new hose and increased
fire protection, electric lighting of main avenue, replacing floors and
general repairs in Administration Building, replacing of stalls and
mangers in cow stables, repairs to Steward's residence, and replacing of
floors and closets in laboratory, fitting up room in basement for domestic science department, repairs and enlargement of gardener's cottage,
spraying utensils for orchards and gardens, and other little repairs too
numerous to mention. Beds and bedding, chairs and other furniture
were required to meet the increase of patients in the hospital.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $38,137.80.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for the construction of a side track from the Peve Marquette main line to the institution. The right of way was purchased by the State at a cost of $22,738.46, and the cost of construction to June 30th, 1914, was $9,580.86.
There still remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this
fund at the close of June 30th, 1914, $5,818.48. The road is nearly completed and well within the appropriation. There will be a large number
of city lots crossed by the track, for sale. Their total market value is
not less than $10,000" Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested
to pass an act enabling the hospital to sell these lots, and to return the
money accruing from such sales either to the State treasury or to the
institution. This road is the most important improvement made at the
institution in years. At this writing, (Sept. 13, 1914), freight is being
delivered at the hospital.

SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $1500.
This appropriation was provided by the last Legislature for the purchase of track scales. It has not been drawn, and it is not yet fully
determined whether it will be necessary to use it.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $6000.
This appropriation was authorized by the last Legislature for the
completion of the heating plant in the "main building. The contract for
this work was awarded to the Thomas Heating Company of Eacine, Wisconsin, in the sum of $5,535.00. This work was completed within the
amount appropriated, and in a most satisfactory manner. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this fund on June
30th, 1914, $160.44.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2500.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for a shed for
storage of wagons and implements. Work has been commenced on this
building, but it will not be finished till September of this year. There
remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of this fund, at the
close of the biennial period, $2,370.70.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2500.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for repairs to
roofs and gutters of the hospital. A part of the work has been completed. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the credit of
this fund, on June 30, 1914, $1,741.43.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $500.
This appropriation was granted by the Legislature for sinking an
artesian well. This work is about completed. An excellent flow of
water has been obtained which- will be of the greatest service to the
hospital. There remained in the hands of the treasurer at the close of
the biennial period to the credit of this fund, $53.70.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $6400.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for roofing
cottages 24, 25, 26 and 28. The work of re-roofing these buildings was
done on contract, and in a highly satisfactory manner. The roofs are
of the best Peach Bottom Pennsylvania slate. The work was finished in
November, 1913. There remained in the hands of the treasurer to the
credit of this fund on June 30, 1914, $494.53.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $2000.
This appropriation was made for laundry extension and for laundry
dry room. No part of this money was used during the period, but a contract has been made for a drying machine, and further additions will
be made to the laundry as fast as possible.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $600.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for the construction of a porch at Cottage 32 for tuberculous patients. This porch
3

was partially completed and at the close of business on June 30th, 1914;
$329.25 remained to its credit in the hands of the treasurer. The porch
will be finished within a few weeks.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $10,000.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature for a dining
room for cottages for men. An architect was employed, and it was
found that a building of necessary size to meet the present needs of the
hospital, to say nothing of future needs, was entirely inadequate, and
therefore the appropriation has not been drawn. This is a very much
needed improvement, and we respectfully request your Honorable Body
for an additional appropriation of $14,125.40, to build a dining room
for 500 men patients.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATION, $1,000.
This appropriation was granted by the last Legislature to reimburse
the hospital for culvert built in the rear of the hospital to divert storm
water or flood water around the institution to the north. This money
has been placed to the credit of the hospital to replace money expended
in the purchase of material used in the construction of the culvert.
NEEDS OF THE HOSPITAL.
The hospital is very greatly in need of a building for a chapel and
amusement hall, of additional farm lands, and of a home for women
nurses. We would respectfully call your attention to these needs without requesting appropriations for them. The following requests for appropriations are to meet the absolute needs of the hospital. The hospital is growing in numbers, and conditions of care and treatment are
changing, all of which necessitates improvements.
CARPENTER AND PAINT SHOP.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to appropriate the
sum of $8,452.00 for the construction of a building to be used as a carpenter and paint shop. The present room occupied as a carpenter shop
is entirely inadequate for the purpose. We cannot too strongly urge in
the interests of economy, and safety from fire, the granting of this appropriation. As reported to previous Legislatures, the present blacksmith shop and carpenter shop can be converted into a blacksmith shop
and store room for engineering materials.
GENERAL DINING-ROOM FOR COTTAGES FOR
MEN.
An appropriation of $10,000 was passed by the last Legislature for
the construction of a central dining-room for men. Subsequently the
preparing of plans for the building was placed in the hands of Mr. Wm.
T. Cooper, of Saginaw, Mich. After his plans were drawn and estimates
made, it was found that a dining room such as would meet the needs of
the hospital, would cost $24,125.40. This would necessitate an additional
appropriation of $14,125.40 to complete the building. If this diningroom is authorized, the old dining-rooms and kitchens, store rooms, etc.,

COTTAGES FOR MEN

in connection with each cottage, can be converted into dormitories, and
additional room made for 140 men patients. If new accommodations
were built for this number of patients, the cost would be about $70,000.00. It may be seen from a purely economic standpoint, that the
construction of the new dining room would be greatly to the advantage
of the State. This dining room, if authorized, would also enable the
institution to abandon the old central kitchen and change it into a
special department for cold storage and domestic science work. The
domestic science work includes the instruction of patients in cooking,
also in the preparation of fruits and vegetables for canning, bread and
cake making, pastry making, etc. Further, the dining room, if authorized, would concentrate the work that is now carried on in a number of
dining rooms, and at less cost for labor, skilled cooks and oversight, etc.
HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEMS FOR COTTAGES 24 AND 26.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriaation of f 12,000 for the installation of a new heating and ventilating
system in these buildings. The cost of this work is estimated on bids
that were made for its installation by the Thomas Heating Co., of Racine,
Wis., two years ago.
ADDITIONS TO DINING ROOMS
NORTH AND SOUTH.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of $2,394.75, for an addition to the south dining room, and the
same amount for an addition to the north dining room of the main
building. These dining rooms were built from the appropriations made
for the extensions to the north and south wings, and were only intended to provide dining room space for two wards on each floor of the
main building. After they came into operation they were found so useful that all the patients of the wing were crowded in them. The object
of these additions is to make sufficient serving room space for them.
This will require a room about 15x25 feet, and the construction of a new
elevator shaft for each. This is a much needed improvement. We doubt
if there is any more desirable system for the serving of food to a large
hospital population that the one to be found here.
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING.
During the past few years industrial and diversional occupations
have become a very important part in the treatment of patients as well
as in the economy of the hospital. We have been obliged to use for this
department basement rooms. They are much too small and are not as
sanitary as they should be to accommodate large numbers of patients.
The domestic science work is so very important that we feel it imperative to request of your Honorable Body an appropriation of $9,000 to
build a small building in which this work may be properly conducted.
DAIRY BARN.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of $5,000 for the construction of a dairy barn. The present barns
are fully occupied. The dairy must be increased if it is to produce all of
20
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
the milk used by the hospital. The number of patients has increased
quite rapidly, and the hospital has been buying milk for some time. We
would strongly recommend this appropriation as an economic proposition.
FENCING.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of f 1,500 to construct 1,320 feet of iron fence in front of the hospital grounds. The present fence is built of wood. It has been in use 28
years, and is practically decayed. It must be replaced. The cost of an
iron fence would be only slightly greater than that of a wooden one,
and would be very much more durable.
LAUNDRY MACHINERY.
Your Honorable Body is requested to grant an appropriation of
$2,500 for the purchase of five washing machines and for the installation
of the same. The machines we now have have been steadily in use since
1895. They have been repaired and re-built until they can no longer be
made serviceable. They will have to be replaced.
GRATE FOR BOILER NO. 3.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to make an appropriation of $2,500 for the re-setting of Boiler No. 3, and the installation of
an automatic chain grate under same. The present grate is worn out.
Chain grates are in use under the other boilers, are economic and highly
efficient as stokers.
ADDITION TO COLD STORAGE PLANT.
In case your Honorable Body grants the appropriation for a new
dining room for male patients, we would respectfully request an appropriation of $5,500 to re-fit part of the rooms in the old central kitchen
into cold storage rooms. Our cold storage plant is too small. There is
not a proper room at present in which the hospital can store fresh fruits
and vegetables or canned goods which are put up from its gardens and
orchards. At the present writing there are about 10,000 quarts of
canned fruits which have been put up from the farm, and which are
stored in the basement. Additional cold storage is an imperative necessity for the hospital.
FIRE PROTECTION FOR FARM BARNS.
Your Honorable Body is respectfully requested to grant an appropriation of |8,000.00 for the purchase and installation of fire protection for
the farm barns. The farm buildings and the stock have a value of not
less than $75,000, and are practically without fire protection. The
Board especially recommends this appropriation for the installation of
an automatic fire sprinkling apparatus, and for the construction of a
reservoir and purchase of necessary pumps, etc.

The general management of the farm is under the direction of Mr.
G. B. Pike, the Steward, and under him, Mr. Kelley has the management
of the general farming operations, Mr. Tobler of the horticultural department, gardens and grounds, Mr. Pennell of the orchards, and Mr.
Hatch of the dairy and dairy barns. A goodly amount of food supplies
has been raised on the farm. The above report shows that $7,725.30
worth of cattle were sold during the period. The value of milk produced exceeded $35,000.00. The orchards have come into bearing
rapidly, and practically produce all of the fruits used by the hospital
population. We mention as a matter of pride that during the period
the hospital received a silver medal from the exhibition of the International Apple Shippers' Association at Cleveland for the best individual display of fruits; gained 11 prizes for its cattle from the Chicago
cattle show in 1913; and also a blue ribbon from the Boston exhibition
of the International Apple Shippers' Association, 1914.
As previously mentioned in this report, the farm, orchards, etc., form
a vast workshop for men patients, and with their growth, still larger
numbers of patients will find employment in connection with them.
During the last season a large number of men patients were engaged in
gathering the fruit, and quite a number of women patients assisted in
the preparation and canning of fruits.
We regret to report that during the period a thorough test of the
herd for tuberculosis showed that about 20 head of the cattle were infected. These cattle were turned over to the State Live Stock Commission, and through them were slaughtered under the supervision of the
United States Sanitary Inspectors of Detroit. This was a great loss to
the dairy. Every effort is made to prevent the invasion of the disease
among the cattle, and tuberculin tests are made once or twice a year of
the entire herd.
During the last season two sections of the dairy barns have been refitted with modern sanitary stalls. This includes a complete outfit for
caring for calves. The stalls are of iron and concrete, the floors are of

concrete covered with cork brick where the cattle stand. These stables
are perfect in their appointments and sanitation.
There were several voluntary admissions during the period, and we
believe if the law providing for such admissions were more generally
known, that a large number of patients would take advantage of it. We
believe that the hospital should be open to the treatment of all forms
of nervous and mental diseases, and we would especially urge the Legislature to consider the feasibility of establishing a general hospital department in connection with the hospital, where patients suffering from
any form of disease, or in need of care and treatment, would find a suitable place. It seems a pity that the hospital, with its magnificent equipment, should be restricted to the care and treatment of one class of our
afflicted citizens.
RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.
The total receipts of the hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1913, including cash on hand and credits on special appropriations
accounts, were f311,954.68; and the total disbursements for the same
period, including special appropriations, were $305,771.12.
The total receipts of the hospital for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1914, including cash on hand and credits on special appropriations
accounts, were $371,113.70; and the total disbursements for the same
period, including special appropriations, were $340,826.82.
There was at the close of the biennial period ending June 30, 1914,
$30,286.88 in the hands of the treasurer; $17,258.06 of which amount
was to the credit of the current expense account, and the balance of
$13,028.82, unexpended balance to the credit of special appropriations
accounts.
OFFICERS.
In 1913, Hon. Wm. Lloyd, of Manistee, Mich., was reappointed to
the Board. Mr. Lloyd had served as member of the Board since 1907,
and was at the time of his reappointment, and is at the present time,
President of the Board.
In 1913, Hon. C. D. Alway, of Traverse City, Mich., was appointed to
the Board. Mr. Alway is a lawyer by profession, and brings with him
much experience in his profession.
In July, 1913, Dr. R. F. Wafer was appointed assistant physician.
He came highly recommended.
Dr. S. C. Mies resigned July 1st, 1913. We regret to state that the
services of Dr. G. V. Sigler, who was appointed to the staff in February,
1913, were dispensed with in June, 1913.
We regret to report the death of Mr. T. T. Bates, who was a member
of the Board for many years. Mr. Bates became a member of the Board
of Building Commissioners of the hospital in 1885, and after the work
of the Building Commission was finished, he was continued as Trustee.
During all those years he was a faithful officer of the State. His general knowledge, together with his information concerning the hospital,
was a source of inspiration to those associated with him, and to the
officers of the hospital. Mr. Bates felt a deep interest in all that pertained to the institution. He was a true and loyal friend to all those
in trouble; he always favored every movement that looked to the better-

ment of the hospital in every direction. By his death the State and the
institution lost a valued servant.
In closing this report, we can only say that we believe that each and
every Trustee, and each and every officer and employee of the institution, has appreciated the necessity for giving his best to the institution.
We are conscious that steady progress is being made in hospital management, and in the care and treatment of the insane, and we further
believe it is the duty of every employee of the State, from Trustee down,
to direct, as far as possible everything that pertains to the welfare and
improvement of patients.

If these statistics are compared with those of the last period it will
be found that there were 150 more admissions and 46 more discharges.
If the patients admitted from the Pontiac and the Newberry State
Hospital districts are counted, there was a net gain of 119 patients
under treatment in the hospital. The percentage of patients discharged
recovered on the whole number under treatment was slightly greater
than for the last period. The smallest number of patients under treatment in any one day was 1,398, and the largest number was 1,535. The
death rate was slightly greater than for the previous period.

One hundred fifty-three patients or 51% of those who died, were over
55 years old; 21 of the number were over 80 years old. The deaths from
tuberculosis were 19% of the deaths from all causes, an increase of
4.9% during the last two years. We are unable to account for this increase. It is possible that more patients were admitted suffering from
the disease during the period, and it may be due to causes entirely acci-

dental. We do not believe that there has been appreciable increase in
the occurring cases in the institution. As during many years past every
effort is taken to prevent the development or spread of the disease in
the hospital. Separate departments for each sex are maintained for the
care and treatment of tuberculous cases. Syphilis caused 14.6% of
deaths, nearly as many as tuberculosis. Arterial degenerations and
consecutive organic disease caused 51% of the deaths. Diseases of the
circulatory organs are the cause of a large percentage of mental disease. An analysis of the above summary would show that nearly 90%
of all the deaths were due to organic and incurable diseases.
The following table showing the forms of mental disease is no longer
in use, but is inserted to show the classification of patients up to June
30, 1906, since which time a modification of the well known classification
of Kraepelin has been used in all the asylums of Michigan.

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
Table IV shows that 27.8% of the patients admitted were suffering
from organic diseases, 17% from dementia praecox, 9.7% from paranoia
and paranoid states, 6.5% from epilepsy, 22% from manic depressive
insanity, 5.5% from alcoholic and drug insanity, and 11% from
arrested mental development. This table does not show that there
has been any marked increase in the various forms of insanity other
than that in the imbecile group. During the previous two years 6.4%
of the patients admitted were classified as mentally defective. This
shows an increase of nearly 5% in the admissions of the imbecile class.
As mentioned in our last report, it is becoming increasingly evident
that the segregation of the feeble-minded is a matter of the utmost importance to the social welfare, and that a most definite economy would
be secured by providing adequate accommodations. Undoubtedly, the
opening of the colony for epileptics at Wahjamega will relieve the stress
at Lapeer and that institution will be able to receive a much larger
number of feeble-minded than has heretofore been possible. It should
be the duty of the State to see that adequate provisions are made for
the care and safeguarding of this class. "Poverty and crime grow in
direct proportion to the freedom the State gives to feeble-minded, subnormals and morons." The State should attend that these individuals are not only properly cared for but that they should be heldin suitable institutions. We also hope that the colony at Wahjamega
will soon be able to relieve the hospital of many of its epileptic patients.
A great deal of clinical work has been performed during the last two
years, and arrangement is being made to introduce the Abderhalden
method of diagnosis of dementia praecox and other nervous statesOther research work is being carried out in collaboration with the
Eugenics Commission of the State, and with the Psychopathic Hospi'tal
at Ann Arbor, Mich. You have incorporated in your report an outlineor summary of the work accomplished in the laboratory during theperiod; therefore, it will not be necessary to repeat it. About the usual
number of surgical operations was performed during the period, and
there was one obstetrical case.
The work in the training school for nurses was carried on with enthusiasm, and successfully. The field of instruction has been enlarged,,
and the teaching has improved with the increased experience of thestaff. There were 14 graduates from the school in both 1913 and 1914.
A list of the graduates is appended to this report.
The medical work is carried on as carefully as possible, and effort is
made to keep pace with the most modern methods of treatment. The
detailed reports presented herewith will demonstrate that the strictest
economy has been practiced in all departments, and that the aim has
been to maintain the highest efficiency in the hospital.
The following tables will give a brief analysis of the clinical forms of
mental diseases admitted during the period. These statistics have been
presented in this form for several years, and are of increasing value for
comparative purposes. We are enabled from these statistics, accumulated from each of the hospitals of Michigan, to determine with considerable accuracy the percentage of each of these types of mental disease to the total population of the State. The principal lesson learned:
from the past two years is that luetic diseases and alcoholic derangements are two of the principal causative factors of insanity and degen-

eracy. The constantly increasing numbers in the imbecile group all
show the great necessity for supervision of marriage, and the necessity
for careful eugenic statistics. All these matters require the most careful thought from our Legislators, teachers, social workers and professional men, and from all those interested in the upbuilding of the race.
From the Wasserman tests made on patients in the State of Michigan
during the last year, the astonishing fact is revealed that about 15%
of all patients admitted to the institutions are infected with luetic
disease.

Act 84, Public Acts of 1912, made provision for the reception in the
State Hospitals of cases of inebriety and of drug addiction. We
have had sent to us a few patients under this Act. There is no
special form in the classification for their reception, and they have been
placed in the alcoholic group under alcoholic paranoid conditions.
There were 11 men committed by the various counties, principally
Grand Traverse, and 2 women. A few of the cases of chronic alcoholism
were committed on regular insane orders.
MORPHINISM.
There were received into the hospital during the past biennial period
4 men committed because of addiction to the vise of opium. Of these
four, two had been with us on one or more previous occasions; the
other two were committed for the first time. One after a short residence was discharged, and has remained well up to date. The fourth
patient is still with us and shows other mental involvement than that
due to the use of opium.
There were three women entered because of the use of opium in one
form or another. One of the three had been a patient here on two previous occasions, and after a residence of about 6 months was discharged.
Thus far she has remained well as far as we have been able to learn.
One of the other two has been away from the institution for over a vear

and is perfectly free from any indications of the return of the habit.
The third woman remained with us but a short time, less than a week,
and was taken home improved. She has not been heard of since.

In explanation it may be said that 12 cases were treated with neosal=
varsan from January 1, 1914. Cases include general syphilis, cerebrospinal syphilis, and general paresis. These cases received intensive
treatment of neosalvarsan. Method of treatment consisted of the intravenous administration of neosalvarsan, given weekly, from 6 to 12
doses being given. In addition, 3 cases of general paresis received intradural injections of autoserosalvarsan, bi-weekly, according to
method of Swift-Ellis, in all 8 injections being given in each case.
Three cases of general paresis received intradural injections of from
8 to 12 milligrams of neosalvarsan, according to the method of Bavaut,
two injections being given in each case, systemic treatment being carried out in all cases, as mentioned above.
In the cases of general syphilis and cerebro spinal syphilis, all showed
subsidence of specific symptoms and improvement in general health. In
the cases of general paresis treated by the Swift-Ellis method, two cases
showed marked improvement, complete restoration of mental faculties,
with, however, a persistence of the physical signs of lesser degree. Onecase, late in the disease, showed pronounced remission for several
months with later a return of the symptoms.
One case of general paresis treated by Eavaut method has shown improvement mentally. Two cases have shown no especial change.
In two of the cases of general syphilis the patients at time of discharge did not react to the Wasserman test.

During the last few months the treatment of dementia praecox by the
so-called Lundvall remedy has been used. Treatment consists of the
use of sodium nucleinate for the production of hyperleucocytosis. In
all, five cases of dementia praecox (hebephrenic form) are receiving
treatment. Subcutaneous injections of the following solution are given:
Sodium nucleinate 10.000; arsenous acid 0.005; sodium cinnamate
1.000; distilled water 40.000. From 2 to 15 c. c. of the solution are
given at intervals of 4 days. A moderate rise in temperature from 2 to
4 degrees of from 2 to 3 days' duration, is usually noted. In one case,
on several occasions temperature reached 105 degrees, with nausea and
vomiting. In three cases no notable change in leucocyte count; in one
case moderate leucocytosis up to 12,000. In one case leucocyte count
reached 18,000.
All cases have been under treatment for several months. All show
some loss in appetite and weight. No noticeable improvement in
mental condition.
It goes without saying that this experience is not wide enough to
justify any conclusions in regard to the value of the Lundvall remedy.
As before mentioned, the Abderhalden tests are being applied and
further treatment of cases will be continued with the nucleins as well
as with the hormones. We anticipate that there are many cases that
will be benefitted by these newer methods of treatment of dementia
praecox.

MELANCHOLIA.
One male patient was diagnosed as a case of melancholia, the first
attack of insanity occurring late in life, about 50, characterized by the
usual ideas of personal unworthiness and many visceral delusions.
This patient, according to the latest ideas, might have been placed in
the manic depressive group.

UNCLASSIFIED GROUP.
Seven men and one woman were not classified during the biennial
period.
Two men were with us but a short time, were defective criminals, and
escaped.
One' man was a foreigner, and was deported by order of the United
States authorities.
One man was a syphilitic case and came before the officials of a neighboring county for repeated thefts, undoubtedly a case of kleptomania.
He improved very much under specific treatment and was finally discharged.
The other cases were not sufficiently clear to be placed in any of the
groups of our classification.
NOT INSANE.
One patient, a Pinlauder, committed from the Upper Peninsula following a state of illness or debauch, not clear, who did not appear to be
mentally involved while in the institution. He was therefore classified
as not insane and discharged about one month after he came.

The following is the report of the State Board of Corrections and
Charities on the above requests for appropriations:
STATE BOARD OP CORRECTIONS AND CHARITIES,,
LANSING, MICHIGAN, November 6, 1914.
Dr. James D. Munson, Medical Superintendent, Traverse City State
Hospital, Traverse City, Michigan:
Dear Sir—The estimates of appropriations for the Traverse City
State Hospital for the biennial period ending June 30, 1917, as presented to the members of this board at the time of the inspection of
your Hospital on September 10, 1914, have been approved with the exception of item No. 7, the same being a request for an appropriationi
of $1,500 for 1,320 feet of iron fencing for front of grounds.
By order of the board.
Verv respectfully,
" JNO. N. McCORMIOK, .
Chairman.
72
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
CHAPEL SERVICES.
Religious services have been conducted regularly by the Chaplain, Kev.
D. Cochlin, assisted by Eevs. Mr. Slade, Mr. Irving, Mr. Lay and Mr.
Coates, all of Traverse City.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
To all those who have in any way contributed to the welfare and comfort of our patients our best thanks are extended.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion we may say that our relations with the State, with
other hospitals, with the county officials, etc., have been harmonious,
and there has been cordial cooperation between the institution and the
county and state officials in everything that pertains to the best interest
of the hospital.
As a Board, you have given unusual attention to the hospital and its
management, and it was due to your efforts largely that the right of
way for the side track was secured and railway connection accomplished between the hospital and the railroads entering Traverse City.
I am not unmindful of my obligations to you and to my associates on
the staff and to all the employes of the hospital. It is a matter of
great gratification to me to be able to state that there have been few
occurrences during the last two years that have required special attention at your hands. The hospital was never at a higher standard of
efficiency than it is at this time.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
J. D. MTJNSON,
Medical Superintendent.

APPENDIX.
The asylums of Michigan are organized and governed under organic law.
an act known as Act 217, Laws of 1903. This act has for its
title "An Act to revise and consolidate the laws organizing
asylums for the insane and to regulate the care, management
and use thereof, and to provide for the apprehension of persons believed to be insane, and for their care and custody."
The above act was modified in no essential respect as regards commitment of patients by the Laws of 1907, but Section 72, Public Acts of 1907, contains very important provisions regarding the care of persons who are not legal residents of the State of Michigan. The act is too long to
justify its insertion, but all officers and persons interested
in the commitment of patients, whose residence is in doubt,
are requested to study the different sections of this act.
The government of asylums is vested in boards of trustees Government.
appointed by the Governor. (Section 3.)
The State is divided into districts by the Joint Board of j
Trustees. (Section 8.) The counties comprising the district
of the Traverse City State Hospital are:

STATE OF MICHIGAN.
A patient is not to be committeed to an asylum of a district other than that of which he is a resident unless the
court adjudicates that there is no room in the latter, and
that there is in the former. (Section 8.)
Patients are divided into three classes: Public'patients,
private patients, and voluntary patients. (Section 13.)
Voluntary patients are patients who are not insane. They
are kept and maintained without expense to the State, but
cannot be received so long as there may be applications for
the admission of public or private patients not cared for because of lack of room. In other words, there must be room
for all others seeking admission before any voluntary patients can be received.
Sec. 14, Act 155, Laws 1911, as amended by Act 94, Laws
1913, "Provides that such persons as may have been or may
hereafter be adjudged to be so addicted to the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors, or narcotic or noxious drugs, as to be
in need of medical and sanitary treatment and care, for
whose person a guardian has or may be appointed with
power to restrain his said ward in some suitable hospital or
asylum for treatment."
Both public and private patients can be received only on
an order from a probate court declaring the patient insane
and stating the method of support,—whether public or private. Such an order is void unless patient is sent to the asylum within thirty days after it is issued. (Section 16.)
Besides the order of commitment from the court, there
must accompany a private patient a bond guaranteeing the
payment of his bills. The law (Section 16) makes it incumbent upon the court to see that this bond is furnished.
Until this bond is furnished the patient is regarded as a
public charge. There is also required an advance payment
of fifty dollars. Future payments are made at the close of
each quarter.
New bonds may be called for at any time by the medical
superintendent, and the law requires the court to see that
such new bonds are provided. (Section 16).
Provision is made (Section 16) for the reception of both
public and private patients on temporary orders wherever
conditions demand immediate attention.
Section 21 provides for the transfer of a patient from private expense to public expense where conditions warrant such
a change.
Section 30 provides for the temporary reception and care
of insane who are not residents of this State.
Section 32 provides for the return to the asylum without a
new order of patients who have been discharged on trial,
where the duration of the temporary absence does not exceed
six months.
TRAVERSE CITY STATE HOSPITAL.
85
The attention of county officers is particularly called to the insane women
provisions of Section 40 regarding the state of bodily cleanli'
ness and the clothing of patients brought to the asylum, and
more particularly to that clause of the section providing for
a female attendant for insane women.
In conveying a patient to the asylum do not deceive him. Removal of
Truth should not be compromised by professing a visit to the gome"ts 'rom
institution, and, on arrival, suggesting to the patient the idea
of staying, when his admission has already been decided
upon; nor should patients be induced to come and "stay a
few days to see how they like it," under the impression that
they can leave at pleasure. This.course not only destroys
confidence in friends, but also in the officers of the asylum,
by giving patients an impression that they are parties to the
deception.
Removal to the asylum should never be attempted when the
patient is much prostrated or laboring under severe bodily
illness., and care should be taken that the excitement attending acute mental disease be not mistaken for physical
strength.
As friends of patients are often in doubt as to what arti- clothing,
cles of clothing it is necessary to provide the following suggestions are made:
Male patients require 3 new shirts, 1 new and substantial
coat and vest, 2 pairs of pantaloons, 3 pairs socks, 2 pairs
drawers, 2 undershirts, 1 hat or cap, 1 cravat, 3 collars, 6
handkerchiefs, 1 pair of shoes or boots, 1 pair slippers, 1
overcoat.
Female patients should have 3 calico dresses, 3 chemise, 3
pairs drawers, 4 pairs hose, 3 night-dresses, 3 cotton-flannel
skirts, 6 handkerchiefs, 4 collars, 1 pair shoes, 1 pair slippers,
1 shawl or cloak, 1 hat, hood or nubia, 4 aprons.
The outfit should be liberal when circumstances permit.
As nearly all the patients go regularly into the open air each
day, it is desirable that they be furnished with clothing of a
character to enable them to go comfortably in all weather,
and also to appear at little social gatherings. When desired,
articles of clothing, etc., will be furnished at the institution.
Jewelry should not be brought with patients. // such articles
are left in their possession the asylum cannot be responsible
for their safe keeping.
All letters concerning patients, from individuals having con-espondthe right to make inquiry, will be answered at once; and encefriends are promptly advised of any severe illness, accident,
or event of moment or interest. The postoffice and telegraphic addresses of one correspondent in each case .are reforded, to whom such communications are sent. Letters are
frequently received to which replies cannot be mailed, for the
reason that the postoffice address is not clearly given. A
little care on the part of friends will often save them disappointment and the asylum unmerited censure. Information
