Excerpt from The Mental Symptoms of Brain Disease: An Aid to the Surgical Treatment of Insanity, Due to Injury, Haemorrhage, Tumours, and Other Circumscribed Lesions of the Brain
In my long experience as Superintendent of Asylums and as Medical Inspector in Lunacy I have often had cause to notice the imperfections of lunatic asylums, being asylums for custody more than hospitals for scientific study and treatment of the insane. I called attention to this regrettable state in many of my publications, more particularly in La Reforme des Asiles d"Alienes, in which I advocated greater facilities to be granted for the early admission of curable patients, for the appointment of expert alienists on the medical staff, for the establishment of pathological laboratories, and the appointment of an adequate number of educated and properly trained nurses.
