Tbe question of the reformatlo ( Ue Ine
hriate is one that kM long mt luted tl mind
I not only our prominent philanthropists, bmt
alec of fl sober-minded, right-thinking men,
who make no ostentation of their good deeds,
kut have thoroughly at heart the welfare ef
their fellow-man; which ha been the object of
the fondest wih of the disgraced and mortified
fetter, whose fair name hoe been blasted, whose
waning year have lecn saddened by the wreck
f hie ton; the most fervent prayer of the heart
broken wife, whose misery is multiplied bv each
ftlghtly debauch of her drnnken, besotted hus
band. But it was not until late yean thai this
subject was attempted to be discussed
any practical way, or any pro
ject for effecting Its ends as-
aiied any tangible shape. And when
tt was proposed to Institute a method of re
trieving the unfortunate, whose weaknesses so
debate themselves and those belonging to them;
who should be Its most earnest supporters but
these mothers and sisters whose tears had paid
the price of the son's and the brother's revels?
These, indeed, they were, as is attestod by the
demonstration recently made by the ladles of
Maryland in order to raise means for the estab
lishment of an inebriate asylnm at Baltimore.
Mow, the projoct Is not a mere matter of desire,
r of speculation, but a living, glorious fact,
In successful operation, producing the
Most gratifying results all over the
civilized world. We now have these asylums
la Massaehnsetts, In New York, in Washington,
in Illinois, and in Indiana; we have them In
Ifingrand, in France, in Russia, and we have one
within an hour's ride from our very door, at
Media, of which last we propose to speak. Yes
terday we paid a visit to Media, and of eonrse
called to see its principal feature, the Banlta
tarinm. This asylum was first chartered to the
Cltlzene' Association, having not only the right
to exist as a corporation for the treatment of
habitual inebriates, but being also vested with
vieitorlal powers over nil the almshouses and
jnnblic hospitals of the State, wherein persons
were medically treated at the public expense.
This latter power is now but seldom exercised,
and the asylum is devoted to the revocation of
persons from the influences of strong drink and
narcotics of all klndr, and is under the manage
ment of the following directors: Joseph Par
Tish, M. D., President; John M. Maris and Henry
Lewis, Vice-Presidents; Joshna A. We-olston,
Secretary; John A. Wright, George Milliken,
Matthew Balrd, Samuel Parrlsh, Thomas A.
fAcett, and Thomas T. Tanker, Jr. We were
an fortunate in finding that Dr. Porrish
was in the city when we arrived, but
we were received in the kindest manner by his
affable and efficient assistant, Dr. Orrin Cooley,
who seed every endeavor to make our visit
pleasant and instructive. The asylum is quite a
large building, originally inteuded as a school
for boys, but now refitted, so as to afford every
convenience and comfort for its Inmates. Each
patient bos a room to himself, large, light, and
neatly furnished. The gas consumed in tghtlng
the building is there manufactured, and indeed
H compares very favorably with the luxury for
which we in the city pay so dearly.
The whole house Is heated by steam, so that any
temperature required during the winter season
an be attained. A spacious recreation room is
provided, with a billiard table and other sonrces
ef amusement; the library supplies good reading
matter, and a handsome piano affords opportu
nity for the cultivation of musical talent. The
patients are allowed the liberty of the building
and grounds, and even of the village, and but
little restraint is imposed upon them that would
not at least be exercised at a proper home.
The manner of treatment is not one uni
form, inflexible rule applied indiscrimi
nately to all, bnt it is adapted to
the circumstances of each particular case. The
time of each gentleman is his own to employ
from breakfast until bod-time as he chooses,
provided he is guilty of no excesses that would
be injurious to his health, or any impropriety
that would be scandalous to those about him.
They are permitted to indulge in tobacco moder
ately, and have as good food, well and cleanly
cooked, as the country can afford. The prin
ciple of cure is one built upon the bases ot
hygienic, medical, and moral treatment. If a
patient is so far gone that his drink is to him
almost a second nature, he is given liquor,
not as his appetite craves, but as his physical
condition absolutely requires. At the same
time, the proper medicines are prescribed for
him and applied in such manner as will
soonest and most surely rebuild his shattered
eenstltation. He Is subjected daily, or every
other 4av. to a bath vapor, plunge, douche.
shower, or medicated, as the clrcninstances of
the case call for the facilities for all which are
admirable. Then the reereatlon, social inter-
coarse with each ether, and the uniformly kind
and gentle manner in which they are
reatea by Dr. Parrish and his family,
and Dr. Cooley, tend to keep the
vaticnts in a cheerful mood, which doubtless is
erne of the greatest aids to the cure. The mana
gers do not advocate the total abstinence system
in every case without distinction, as they believe
it would be productive of more harm than bene
fit: nor do they adopt the plan in vogue In a
Boston establishment, where the patients are
given liquor charged with emetics, fearing the
effects of much such treatment would in a short
space of time ruin even the strongest const!'
tution; nor do they approve of the Russian
method of pursuing the mnfortunates with
that drink which has been their bane,
saturating every morsel of food with the liquor,
flavoring all beverages with that which has been
the patient's specialty, and filling the atmo
sphere of his room with the odor of it; the
object being to create the most perfect disgust
and abhorrence; which seems, however, too
much like making one need to a thing,
Jer If a surfeit were called a cure it might
te reasonable to suppose that every man
who drinks to excess is upon each succes
sive drunk cured, for then he certainly
Has Had a suneit. out ue pian adopted
here Is of the simplest, gentlest, and most
natural character, applying mild restoratives to
the debilitated constitution, removing all temp
tations to drink, encoaraging recuperation by
the most grateful means that can be devised,
and relying in a great measure upon the hearty
-operation of the patient, for this latter is as
accessary as the medicine, bath, or diet; and so
confidently do the doctors rely npon it that the
patients are permitted to stroll over the county
freely, even seyond the limits of the village,
where liquor Is to be obtained for
the asking. It is the rarest
occurrence that a patient betrays this confl
uence by gratifying his passion. A pleasing
feature of the whole is that a vast majority of
the patients who have thus far been treated at
the Sanitarium have been voluntary patients.
coming of their own free will to be redeemed
from the most ruinous of vices, there having
been bnt two or three persons placed there by
order of the courts, who are authorized by a re
ent act of Assembly to make this disposi
tion of Inebriates in certain cases. And
for the success of the system it is
only necessary to say that, so far, from 43 to
45 per cent, of the cases treated have resulted
In complete cures. As to the inmates, we
fonnd them seventeen in number, and gentle
men of means, most of them of culture and re
finement. Several were professional men, who
had travelled Europe, and one, an old sea cap
tain, seventy-seven years of age, who has sailed
the world over, is of considerable wealth, and,
singularly enough, was one of the first and most
liberal contributors to the establishment
f a similar institution in a neighboring State,
They intermingle rreeiy with, each other, are
social and pleasant; they have a literary clnb.
both burlesque and serioas. and have an almost
inexhaustible stock of jokes and stories with
which to while the hours away, and to a
visitor they seem as happy, comfortable, and
contented as men could wish to be. We may
safely say, that a person who willingly enters
the asylum and submits himself to the treat
ment prescribed, will, at the proper time, come
wsy improved la u4l fid body.
We smderttand that there ts at present before
the Legislature a bill for the recognition of the
asylam. and the appropriation to it of f irads suf
ficient to meet the expenses of requisite enlarge
tents and Improvements of the building; and the
nature oi the asylnm and its efficiency demand
that this bill should meat with the fall and
speedy approbation of onr lawmakers. There
is at present accommodation for only twenty-
two patient, and from the past sceces of the
project we feel that the more the facilities era
increased the greater will be the good effected.

with other nations, should express any sympathy
