Quite a large number of patients become religious men here.
Our work and its influences have a strong tendency this way.

I believe in the force of a chaplain whose daily walk is with us; who, by example and precept, can win men to higher thoughts.

He is the receptacle of secrets and much of the inner life of patients that physicians do not reach." In another letter to us, Dr.Crothers says: "Every asylum that I know of is doing good work, and should be aided and encouraged by all means.

The time has not come yet, nor the experience or study to any one man or asylum, necessary to build up a system of treatment to the exclusion of all others.

We want many years of study by competent men, and the accumulated experience of many asylums before we can understand the first principles of that moral and physical disorder we call drunkenness." TREATMENT.
"As to the treatment and the agents governing it, we recognize in every drunkard general debility and conditions of nerve and brain exhaustion, and a certain train of exciting causes which always end in drinking.
Now, if we can teach these men the 'sources of danger,' and pledge them and point them to a higher power for help, we combine both spiritual and physical means.
