Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Trustees, Superintendent and Resident Physician of the Lunatic Asylum of the State of Georgia, for the Year 1861
Its present inability, with its accustomed resources, to meet its indebtedness, has resulted from causes wholly be yond its control. The same causes, operating in all the departments of life, have produced the same effect. It is not surprising that the Institution should be embarrassed in its fiscal affairs; the only occasion of surprise is, that with the present high prices of nearly every species of food and clothing, that the arrearages due for pay patients, when collected, will be amply sufficient to meet its in debtedness. No stronger evidence can be adduced of the economy with which the Institution is conducted, than the fact that the expense of sustaining the pauper patients is much less than that of any similar Institution in the Con federate States, or the late American Union, and about half that incurred by our sister State of South Carolina.
