' Occupation is particularly necessary for convalescents. To that end, I propose for them a separate building, with workshops for handicraftsmen, with grounds for tilling, and every other sort of occupation and amusement. The rich may cultivate music and painting, may read aloud entertaining books of history and travels, may walk and play. In what a dreadful situation must a man find himself, when, returning to reason, he sees himself sur- rounded by persons under all the different gradations o...f mental misery. I could quote many facts in support of the truth that the insane more easily recover if body and mind are occupied. I shall copy only one fact from the work of Dr. Hallaran. ' A young man, who had been an entire stranger at Cork, and who was remitted, from a distant part of the count}', to the asylum in the usual form, came under my care in the state of acute mania, and continued so full three months without any intermission. The symptoms hav- ing at length given way, he was treated as a convalescent patient, and every means tried to encourage him to some light work, merely as a pastime, but all to no purpose.
