For A State Insane Asylum

FOR A STATE INSANE ASYLUM

Washtenaw Medical Society Will Advocate It.

AND TO BE LOCATED HERE

The Society Will Hold a Meeting on Monday Evening.

The advocacy of Judge Newkirk for a detention asylum for the care of those insane patients awaiting a place in state asylums is bearing better results than he had dared anticipate.

Everybody who has read the papers is well acquainted with the crowded conditions of the state asylums. Michigan must soon build an additional asylum somewhere.

The Washtenaw County Medical society will take up the matter next Monday evening at the Pathological Laboratory, when several papers will be read on the subject.

Said Dr. Wessinger this morning: "I do not think any of the doctors will favor simply a detention hospital here. They will, I anticipate, advocate the establishment of a state institution here."

Ann Arbor would probably have better claims for an institution of this kind than other cities in Michigan from the fact that the University is located here. It would afford the students a clinic in this branch of the medical profession and the patients would be certain of a thorough care of their cases.
