Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fortieth Annual Report: Of the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester, 1873
To His Excellency the Governor, and the Honorable Council of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Trustees of the Worcester Lunatic Hospital 'submit this, their Fortieth Annual Report, for the year ending September 30, 1872.
The reports furnished by the Superintendent and Treasurer present full statements in regard to the patients and finances of the hospital. It is only necessary for us to refer to them with out repeating them.
It appears from the table furnished by the Superintendent, that the whole number of patients in the hospital at the end of the year was four hundred and thirty-nine, the largest number at the end of any year except the four years immediately pre ceding the opening of the Taunton Hospital. This increase in the number of patients is the more worthy of notice, because it has arisen in Spite of the relief afforded our crowded hospital, by the great reduction of the number of state paupers through the intervention of the Board of State Charities, which has, from time to time, transferred the greater part of them else where.
