Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1854-5, Vol. 11 Number OF patients IN A ward. - AS the total number of patients designed to be accommodated is 250, the average in each of the Sixteen wards would be a little over fifteen, but the number may be varied somewhat by the character of the cases. Of the quiet, or incurable demented, as many as twenty could be taken care of in one ward, with quite as much facility as less than half that number that are highly ex cited. Patients that are excitable rarely do well in large wards, and bet ter discipline is almost invariably preserved in those that have a small number of inmates. Where seclusion is to be carefully avoided, it be comes particularly important that means Should be provided by which even the most highly excited or violent patient may at proper times be out of his room, without being surrounded bya crowd of persons affected like himself. Every one familiar with institutions for the insane, will recall numerous instances of almost daily occurrence, where a single excit able patient introduced into a comparatively quiet ward, will in an hour have almost entirely changed its character.
