Excerpt from The Journal of Laryngology and Rhinology, Vol. 2: An Analytical Record of Current Literature Relating to the Throat and Nose; 1888
MY observations in Norway were made in the early part of the autumn of 1884. I first visited the hospital at Molde, where the physician in charge, Dr. Kaurin, courteously guided me over the whole building, and allowed me to examine such patients as I wished. The hospital is beautifully situated, standing in its own grounds somewhat above the level of the town, looking over the Molde Fjord. The number of patients at. The time of my visit was 56. 33 men and 2 3 women - but there is room for many more. They are kept at the expense of the State as long as they live, but no hindrance is offered to their leaving the hospital if so minded; only one or two, however, avail themselves of the privilege in the course of the year. Dr. Kaurin informed me that there are several cases among well-to-do persons in the neighbourhood of Molde; the sufferers live with their friends, who try to hide their condi tion as well as possible. The following table gives a summary of my observations at Molde males.
