"Where a girl lias been impudent, has refused to obey an officer or'is un duly unruly, she is punished by what .he termed as the 'water cure,' " it is sot forth. "Tiie girl is taken to her room by the assistant superintendent accompanied by the trained nurse of tlie hospital an<! one of thR matrons. The bedding is removed from lier bed! a blanket rolled in place on the wir" springs. The girl's clothes are loos ened and her hands are handcuffed bo , all <l 'eg irons are put on her feet. In this condition she is laid across the blankets on the bed The assistant superintendent sits on the knees of the girl while the hospital nurse dips a towel in water and holds it. sopping wet. over the girl's mouth for ten minutes. The girl, being I nghtcned, strangles, and in the en deavor to breathe through the wet towel, draws in the water.
