Extract

That grave difficulties will always exist in the treatment of cases of melancholia in lunatic hospitals is evident to anyone who has lived in such places and considered the matter. The mere congregation of so many distressed beings of different types under one roof is a disadvantage, as patients have to hear and bear numberless griefs in addition to their own, and many painful delusions are suggested to them which might never have entered their own minds.
