A Lunatic Aejrlum Fnuntlcxi <>n H . |.fl r-l U :!. REVOLTING REVELATIONS. Dr. George A.

Dr. Tuoaer does not give a captivating descrip- tion of Gheel, which is a rather gloomy, dirty place, with narrow, ill kept streets. The commune of Obeel has a popnlaiioa of over 100,000, of whom nearly 2,000 are lunatios. Tbs town itself has a popu- lation of 0.000. Tbe leading feature of tbe plaoe is tbe frequent drinking affope. Tbe hospital, to wbiou tbe new patients are nrat brought, iia building lUtfgeative of melancholy. New comers are retained (or a while at the bo|iital, and then drafted out among tbe cottagers, one or two patienta, and eomtimss three ben - ajwigued to each cottage, lu euoieut time* the patients were at nrat lodged in an old bouae near tbe clmrcb, xlll called In tbe r if u, mb language tl> " /.lekeLkamer," or ick room, wutre tbey underwent religious treatmeut (or nine dayi with a view of their cure. Soiuetiuiea a isoond course t f mue days' nuiilar treatmeut was goue tbrowtu, and it tbey '.ill showed no ngni of recovery they were committed to tbe care of some tatuily in tbe neighborhood of tbe church which they daily attended to participate in the benefits of tbe prayeri penally cilered on tbsir behalf. Tbe bouae is itiil need as of old, though not to tbe lame exttnt. In addition to tbe medical director, wbo resides at the boepital, there are four medical aatietautt living in tbe town, aud to each of these a quarter ot tbe oolony is assigned, which tbey are expected to visit twice a month and percoually to inipect eaoh patient. Tbere are, besides, an inspecting atten- dant!, wbo are also iu| posed M IBII each patient twice a month. Dr. Tucker impeded tbe hospital very tboruugbly and went about among the people treely, talking with mauy of them. Be found tbe dnluess aud monotony universal. Tbsre is nothing to occupy the time or attention of tbe patients but tbe almost enforced labor imposed upon them, wbiob in mauy instances is repugnant to their feelings and unsuitable to tbeir mental aud physical condition!. In other rsapeeote tbey are left to their own resources in tbe familiee and amongst the frequenters of tbs bousee in wbicu they are lodged. Thsir life (rom day to day and year to year is a mere torpid emtenoe, davud of variety in tbe present aud of hope in tbe future an siistsnos as stagnant and nnwbolssoms as tbst of tbe water in the dirty pooli scattered all over tbs plaoe. At tbs hospital be learned tbat tbe patients on their tint coming are detaiuad tbere from nvs to eight days. Evsry Wednesday ibe medical staff meet and decide what patients aball be dratted out. At tbs lime ol hu visit then were in tbs hospital v! men and 't'l women. Tbe drinking ihops referred to are very freely patronised by the pa tienU, number! of whom are domiciled therein. Generalizing on tbe aspects o( tbe place Dr. Tucker nays: "Many if not most of tbe patients I HSW looked neglected. cold, dirty and miserable. A number ol them seemed to bave no object or pur- pose m life bat that of utting near tbe smoky stove (il tbers is oce, which is not alwayi the ease) of the kitchen, with notb ing to divert the mind or break tbe eternal monotony of their existence.
