Excerpt from On the Best Mode of Providing for the Subjects of Chronic Insanity
I. The large States should be divided into geographical districts of such size that a hospital, situated at or near the centre of each district, may be practically accessible to all the people living within its boundaries, and avail able for their benefit in case of mental disorder.
II. All State, county, and city hospitals for the insane should receive all persons belonging to the vicinage designed to be accommodated by each hospital, who are affected with insanity proper, whatever may be the form or nature of the bodily disease accompanying the mental disorder.
