No. 30 WASHINGTON STREET.
WAS Incorporated in 1822, and was opened for the reception of patients April 1, 1824. There were at that time but three or four like Institutions in the country, and the necessity of this one had been strong- ly urged. The funds for its establishment came mostly from individuals of benevolent character, who were kindly disposed, and who saw how great the need was. As its reputation increased under the judicious administration of Dr. Todd, it became necessary to furnish further accommodations. These have been increased until now there are various apartments for one hundred and sixty patients. A handsome double cottage costing $18,000 is one of the improvements for the year ; & $5,900 cottage adjoins it. Also two new cottages have been erected which are not only of great utility, but add materially to the already attractive surroundings.
There are but few institutions better equipped than this, and the Directors have determined to offer to the friends of these unfortunate people all the comforts, conveniences and means of restoration to health that it is possible to furnish. The prices of board neces- sarily vary with the accommodations offered ; but all have the same medical skill and kind attention.
The Retreat is but filling a demand for an institution of its character. It might with as much propriety be said that all hotels should be of a third or fourth rate class, as that all asylums for the care and treatment of the Insane should be alike. The well fur- nished rooms, the increased number of attendants, the best medical skill,- everything which money can afford to the sane, and which is frequently demanded by the Insane,-is here offered.
It ought to be remembered that neither the directors nor any others engaged with them in this charitable work receive any compensation whatever, excepting that the Treasurer is paid two hundred dollars per annum for his care of the accounts, and that the Med- ical Visitors receive ten dollars each, as part payment of their traveling expense. This is all the compensa- tion paid to any one, excepting to the immediate per- sonal officers and servants. The Retreat has but a comparatively small amount of permanent invested funds, and so necessarily derives its support from the board of patients. The great improvements which have been made have been chiefly from this source. The small endowments we have enable us to help some of the poor Insane, whose education and former cir- cumstances in life render this a fitting place for their abode. With increased endowments we should be en- abled to do much more.
Religious services have been conducted as usual dur- ing the past year by our chaplain, and there has been about the same number of patients as usual, in which the form of disease was such as to admit of attendance on the daily exercises.
The usual entertainments conducted in the amuse- ment hall have again this year been supplemented by a daily practice of light gymnastics, conducted by Dr. Down. The readings, which have not usually ex- ceeded an hour in length, have been anticipated with interest by all concerned, as affording a change to the current of thought and usual games and occupations of the halls.
A training school for attendants has been con- ducted by recitations and examinations in such ele- mentary branches as have been deemed best.
The grounds are open to visitors on the afternoon of each day, excepting Sunday, and visitors may be ad- mitted by card from either of the Managers, Rodney Dennis, Jonathan B. Bunce or William B. Clark.
There have been twenty-nine recoveries during the year, amounting to thirty-three per cent. of the admis- sions. There have been fifteen deaths, amounting to six per cent. on total number present. Total num- ber in Retreat April 1, 1897, 154; 78 females, 76 males.
No patient is admitted for a shorter term than three months ; and payment for that term only is to be made in advance to the Steward or Treasurer.
Letters relating to quarterly bills and clothing should be addressed to Henry J. Thompson, the Steward. Clothing and packages sent for the use of the inmates should be sent to the care of the Steward.
