CITY BULLETIN.
PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL FOR, THE IN-
S/um—The twenty-ninth annual: report of
Thomas S..Hirkbride, M. D. Physician' in
Chief and Superintendent of this institution,
:has been received. It says:
"At the, date of the last report there were
336 patients in the -institution, since which
220 have been admitted and 243 have been dis
charged or have died, leaving 133 under care
at the close of the year.
" The total number of patients in the
Hospital during the year was 556, The high
'est' number at any ono time was 347 ;
the lowest was 310; and the average number
under treatment during the whole period was
330-159 males and 171 females.
," The number of males in the Hospital
during the year was 288, and the number of
females was 268. The highestnumber of males
at any one time Was 167, and the highest
number of females was 180. At the beginning
of the year there were 166 males and 170
females. At this date there are 157 males and
156 females. The number of males admitted
during the year was 122, and the number of
females 98.

Of the patients discharged " cured,' forty
'mine were residents of the hospital not ex
ceeding three months ; thirty-two between
„three and six mouths; twenty between six
months and one year, and fourteen for more
than one year.
'Of those discharged much improved,'
six wore under- treatment less than three
months; six between three and six months
four between six mouths and one year ; and
five for more than one year,
"Of the ' improved,' fifteen were under
care leas than' three months; six between
three and six mouth.; fourteen between six

Of -. those ' discharged and reported
'stationary,' ten were .under care less than
three ;nonths ;- three between three and six
mfinti* ; nine between six months and one
year; anti eleven for a longer period than one
year.
'‘Eighteen males and thirteen females have
died during the year. Of these deaths, eight
resulted from acute mania;
four from organic
&theist+ 'of the brain ; three froM the -ex
haustion of chronic mania and a refusal of
foCid.; live from old age ; one from suicide ;
three from consumption ; two from apoplexy;
one from epilepsy; one from py:emia ; one
frOnipnetinionia ; one from strangulated in
testine ; and one from dry gangrene.
"Of the patients who died, sixteen were tid
nutted for mania; six for melancholia; aud
nitre "r dementia.

.'. those who died, nine were in the house
less t an one month; six between two and
three months ; four between three and six
' months ; two between six months and one
year ; three between one and two years ; one
between two and three years; one between
three . and four years; one between five and
_six years; one seven. years;. one nine .years;
one; nearly twenty years ; and one twenty
three years and nine months.
"In scarcely any one year, since the open
ing of the institution, has it had under care
cases of higher interest, or iu which the results
of _hospital treatment have been more,satisfac
tory than in that just closed. The number of
patients of liberal cultivation, and with all the
characteristics likely to render them the spe
cially cherished favorites in the home circle,
Lea not been small, and one.of the most plea
sant features of their residence here has been
the fact that they have realited, in a high de.
gree, the benefits they have received, and have
left,. with an enlightened appreciation of
the advantages which every well-regulated
institution oilers for the care and treatment
of those muttering from mental disorder.
" Another matter of special interest is the
increased number who have come to the insti
tution at their own request. Every year has
brought to us more or less of this class. The
number of such, in any institution where con
firmed cases only are received, must always
be small, for the reasoning powers have then
generally become too much perverted to per
mit the patient to realize the importance of
such a course, or else, making him quite un
conscious of the existence of mental disor
der, would lead him to regard all attempts to
give him the benefits of treatment as oppres
•
save and uncalled for. Many of these cases of
voluntary entrance wore just in, or approach
ing the first stage of insanity ; but, realizing
the danger to which they were exposed, and
convinced, from their own studies and obser
vatiOns,, of the extreme importance of judi
cious treatment at the earliest ;Vied of this
disease, they availed themselves, unhesi
tatingly, of what they believed all expe
rience had shown was most likely to
benefit them, ' just .as . they would
have resorted to travel, or sought a
change of climate, or what they supposed
might be the best practical knowledge in any
other form of disease. In addition to the
manyother pleasant features connected with
, the treatment of these cases, is to be men
tioned the favorable influence which they so
frequently exercise over other patients. 'Dis

who, to casual observers might appear sound,
in mind, if nor in body, have yet voluntarily
sought the advantages which the institution
affords,-and are often continuing there, for a
confirmation of their . improved health,
even after their friends have believed that
a change could safely' be made, other patients
have. been led to take views of their
awn eaAes which had not before occurred to
• them; Influences like these have often seemed
to be,connected with the first steps towards
convalescence. An intellig'eut, sympathizing
patient, thus situated, may often exercise -a
most important influence on all others in a
ward, and many such leave with the gratitude
not only` of their afflicted associates, hut of

others is often ono of the best means of getting
rid of our own, add no year passm in whloh
we do not find illustrations of this benefit tof

patients. * * * ,
"Another year's experiencegoes to confirm
—what no tolerably, careful Inquirer could
doubt—the very great importance of , early
treatment in insanity; the danger of removing
patients from hospitals prematurely,—to which
cause alonello small proportion of second
ar3, admissions aro to be attributed,—and the
very satisfactory tesults which, often come to
reward those who have the courage and
patience to persevere in all reasonable efforts
to secure the restoration of what seem to be
the most unfavorable cases. So when com
plete recovery does not take place, there is
often an improvement which is the difference
between a reasonable degree of enjoyment of
life and absolute wretchedness; and even if
this result is not attained, it is yet no equal
reward for persistent and well-directed efforts,
to feel that they have prevented that still lower
mental condition to which , those who, aro
neglected rarely fail to come."
Attached to the report are interesting tables
showing the sex, ages, nativities, residences,
occupations, &c., of the 5,535 patients who
have been admitted to the Hospital since it
was founded.

In regard co the history of the Institution
the , report says;
" Every one amongst us, at this day, ought ,
certainly to know that the Pennsylvania
Hospital, established In Philadelphia in the
Year 1751, by the efforts of private - individuals,
was the first provision for the care and treat
ment of the insane in America. All should
be proud to know that in the great work it
has since accomplished and Winch it is now
doing—with the exception of some aid towards
the erection •of the original building .at
Eighth 'and Pine streets, in the city of Phila
delphia,—it has never received any aid to any
one of its departments ,fraffi — city, county or
State, but has always relied for its means of
usefulness upon the liberality and benevolence
of private citizens. No one should be igno
rant that beginning in a private house in Mar
ket street, then with a few humble' apartments
in the southeast corner of the basement story.
of the building at Eighth and Pine streets,
the accommodations for the insane were grad
ually extended, as the wants of the commu
nity required it, first to the west wing of the
present .hospital iu the city in .1796,
then in 1841 'to what .is now the
department for females of the Pennsylvania
Hospital for the Insane, on a farm of more
than one hundred acres, two miles west of the
River Schuylkill, and that they were brought
to that present state of efficiency by the open
ing of the•department for males, west of the
building last referred to, in the year 1859;
the first of these being provided entirely from
the sale of certain vacant lots belonging to
the hospital, in Philadelphia, and the last,
erected and furnished at a cost of ..5355,907 57,
the whole of which was contributed, on a
simple appeal for that object, by beneVolent
citizens of different parts of the country, but
especially of Philltdelphia.i
"It is. easy to learn, and all should
know; that all these spacious buildings
and extensive grounds thus provided for the
benefit of the afflicted, and everything
added, as far as was compatible with the
means of the institution, that was believed
likely to increase its efficiency, are freely
offered as a means of restoration to sthose
afflicted with mental disorder, of comfort
and security to those who cannot be restored,
and of protection to the community; but no
one is solicited to enter their doors,
and no one connected with the hospital has
any more interest in' having any patient do so,
than must belong to every humane person
anxious to alleviate the afflictions of his fel
low-men.
"A very little inquiry will teach all that lb
a hospital arranged like this, with separate
buildings for the two sexes,there is an amount
of classification far beyond what was for
merly possible, and that of each sex no ' less
than sixteen distinct classes are provided for,
vvbile the arrangements for supervision and
attendance are of a greatly advanced order,
and the means of exercise, occupation and
amusement proportionately increased.
"It is 'desirable, too, that ail should know
that those who have provided so many of
these accommodations from their private
means, comprise a list in which are the names
of many of Philadelphia's most honored and
trustedcitizens, that its managers, selected by
these contributors, are not less well known,
'and give freely of their time, and not rarely
of their' money, to add to the efficiency of the
institution.
"It would be an insult to the common sense
of a community like ours to suppose any, one
could seriously believe that such men,
- or the - resident- officers appointed by
thern-:--whose compensation is in no
way dependent on or regulated by,
the number or class of their pa
tients,—could have any selfish personal in
terest to promote, by their efforts to extend
the sphere of usefulness of the institution, or
by offering, as they do freely, whatever ad
vantages it possesses to all the suffering, with
out regard to residence,
sect, or calling.
".Many, too, seem not to know that all this
hospital' receives is expended for the benefit
of its patients, that its receipts rarely equal its
expenditures, and that while the ,wealthy are
expected.to pay reasonably for their accom
modations—nut much less than the same ad
„vantages would cost elsewhere than in a
hospital—a larger number are always
under treatment for whom no charge
whatever is made, besides several
who pay much less than the
actual cost of their support; as much as
$18,614 65 having been expended on free ap
tients during the year just closed, and no loss
than $2815,59)r 33 in the twenty-nine years that
the insane have boon on the west side of the
Schuylkill; while during the same period a
far greater amount has been expended on the
recipients of the charity of the hospital for
the sick and accidents, at Eighth and Pine
streets.
• "All these are facts';-about which there can
be no dispute, and of which no one among us
should at this day be ignorant. It may fairly
be claimed that they are eminently creditable
to our forefathers as well as to the citizens
generally, and certainly detract nothing from
the fair fame of Philadelphia for a wise and
enlightened benevolenee.

These Bonds, at present price of gold, yield over! per
cent. interest, and, as' an investment they aro tally u
secure es U. S. 0.26'8,, which now only pay Q per cant.
In currency.
They are only lagged upon each section ?! the Read as
as fast as the same lecompleted rod 'in suceesiful opera
tion. Over two and a half millions of dollars have been
expec dad on the Road. Eighty-three miles are about
completed and equipped, and already show large earn
ings ; and the remainder of the line is rapidly' progress
log toward completion.
' • Thc State of lowa, through which this road runs, is
one of the richest agricnltural Sections in Anierica. Its
large population, extending with surprising rapidity,
and its Immense sield of grain, pork, wool and other ag
ricultural products, cream a pressing demand for the
construction of this road, which affords the brit possible
guaranteefor the bondholders, especially as the line
runs through the wealthiest and most thickly populated
section of the State.
The road also rims through the ride and growing State
of Minnesota. Reference to the man of the United
States will show that it trageeses the mast sateraririne
and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the
snot trunk lines in direct communication with New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to. the latter city
ninety milesn4rer froni Northern lowa and all por
tions of the State of Illinnesuta than by any other road
now built or projected, and also the nearest route from
Central and Southern lowa.
The road is opened for local traffic as rapidly ' con -
structed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS
COMPLETED SECTIONS GREATLY IN EXCESS
OFTHE AMOUNT NEEDED T9-AA-Y>THE IN-
TEEEST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE
ROAD'S FINISIIED. The buyer of these Bonds
therefore guaranteed, by a great ku.siness &unify in rzist•
enre on the route al the road, as trell as by
~noto current
earnings, and has not to risk any of the contingencies
which altrays attend the our:nine of roads in a new mid
unsettled country.
A limited quantity only of these Bonds
are now offered at tat.
After a thorough investigation of the above enter
"prise, we recommend these Bomb, a■ a trnt•clau
