CHAPTER IX.
REFORMATORY HOMES.
Differing in some essential particulars from inebriate asylums or hospitals for the cure of drunkenness as a disease, are the institutions called "Homes." Their name indicates their character.

It is now about twenty years since the first of these was established.

It is located at 41 Waltham Street, Boston, in an elegant and commodious building recently erected, and is called the "Washingtonian Home." The superintendent is Dr.Albert Day.

In 1863, another institution of this character came into existence in the city of Chicago.

This is also called the "Washingtonian Home." It is situated in West Madison Street, opposite Union Park.
