I-or e.'ample, I ha" e met hundreds of ases cruelly treated by quad" remedies, su h as cauterization with hot irons and conseC)uent ul crations. The enlightened methods at your Hospital " ill gradually spread the l-nowlcdgc that the 1I1sanc can and should be treated'" ith 1 indnes .

I had a similar proportion to deal with in Egypt, and with the sam' result; "IZ. that it '" as impossible to retain many reco crable p;ttients long cnou"h to enable them to makc a omplet' recovery, and they'" ere discharged merely 'improved,' or even 'not impnn cd.' "After many years' striving, the accommodation for the insane0 111 hgypt was gradually raised from 44 0 beds in 1895 to 1,84 beds in 19 2 3, with 1,073 admissions annually. "It is indeed urgent to e.'tend the accommodation at Asfuriyeh, so that the allcviation of the worst symptoms now noted in so many cases in the H.eport may in future be only a stage towards complete re overy upon disc harge, in a far larger percentage of ases than is possible at present. I know from bittcr experience how disheartening it is for the Director to see cases prematurely discharged, and perhaps therehy condemned to chronic lunacy, whi h, if only suffi ient room e.

'1 he fat t that they do not do so-in spite of th ahsence f walls and gates-is the best tribute po ibl to th ir appreciation of \\ hat is being done for them. The causes of many of these mental dis as s are obscure, so that no cure for them is at pr'sent known. Such pati '\lts can only be given h althy anel soothing onelitio\ls of lif , with inelividual kinelness and consideration. Other types can b cured and are ureel. Th se are th ases for whi h w so nrg ntl • want more accommodation. At pres nt th I>ir> tor is drivcn to a cept first in order of urg ncy thos in ura hI and d g n rat' ases whi h annat safely he left in their homes or on th str' Its, rather than the early anel urahl cases whi h r spond best to treatment. From the sci ntific and pr v ntiv standpoint this is deplorable, though from the humanitarian point of view it is the only po sible ourse. This year we ask for immediate help in providing room for early cases.

OF THE DIRECTOR II IRMA , LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,- In pr enting the Director's Report of the medical an 1 ac1mini trative work of the Lebanon Hospital for 1ental Di a f r the y ar pril I, 1928, to March 31, 19 29, I have to r cord that during the year 179 patients (13 1 men and 48 women) w r admitt d to the Hospital-sixteen more patients than w re adrriitted last year. Of this number, 46 patients (3 m nand 10 worn n) recovered their sanity completely and I ft the Ho pital quite well. Fifty-one patients (37 men and 14 worn n) were discharged "Improved," and 43 patients (33 m nand 10 worn n) wer discharged" ot Improved." Thirt en patients died from causes detailed in Table X, and th re r main d in hospital on March 3 1, 19 29, 159 patients (9 1 men and 68 women) still under care and treatment. In pite of the very serious state of overcrowding and the a ute nature of the disorders from which many of the patients have b en suffering, I feel that the results of the year's work have b en v ry gratifying. The strain upon the nursing staff ha b en undoubtedly heavy. In addition to the usual trouble cau ed by excited patients, we have had several acute suicidal patient., who have .necessitated constant supervision, and al 0 qUIte an exceptIOnal number of patients who have had t b ~ d ~y ~rt~ficial means f?r quite long periods. The overrowdmg IS dIstmctly hampenng to the work of the Hospital and to th patients' c mfort, and were it not that the climate permits ?f. the patients ?eing for the most part out of doors, th on~htIOn would be mtol rable and the physical health of th patI nt would undoubt dly suffer.

During th war, la k of mans of transport and starvation d cr a d our numb rs, so that in 19 18 w had ampl a ommodation. The new and im} rov dr'gim in yria sin that date has led to a very important im} r v m nt in th publi health service: nam ly, that th local authoriti snow recogni e their re ponsibility towards th insan to this xt nt, that they have been trying to m t an annually incr a ing d mand for the care of the m ntally ami t d. In 1919 th numb r that they were pre1 ar d to budg t for wa 20. The number to-day is 110, and in th imm cliat futur I have p rf ct onfidence that this numb r is going to b onsid rably xtend d. Our accommodation is now a tually inadequat to meet the immediate d mands mad upon it. The crowd d condition of the Hospital ha aIr ady call d forth adverse critici ms from outside, < nd I n d not draw attention to the fact that those responsibI for it admini tration ar materially hamper d in their work. Th ov r rowding has a very prejudicial effect upon th om(ort of th pati nts. I n or 1 r to try to overcome these difficulties the London Committ has r cently authorised the addition of a second stor y to th trawbridge M morial House, at a cost of £9 00 . This will provide a rtain amount of reli f, but it will only giv m rath r mor accommodation f r quiet and conval sc nt pati nts. As a matt r of "tr me urg ncy, I have to report that, as thi lIo pital admit a large number of patients suffering from acut form of m ntal di order, I require immediately t n singl room for the ac ommodation of such patients. I propo that th se Ingle rooms be built as soon as possible in th form of a corridor connecting the Philadelphia and the 111 ri an Hon s, not as an addition to the number of beds in the Ho~pital, but to r mecly a v ry seriolls defect in the a ommodation of th femal wards for acute patients. The manag m nt of acut maniacal patients in open dormitories and 'omm n lay rooms at tim s 1 ads to little hort of a tat of I and monium. Th co t of this addition will be about £Soo. But, apart from thi , two new pavilions should be added to tIl Ho pital- on for m n and one for women-for about thirty patient ach, in rd r that we can meet reasonable d man I whi h may b Pl~t. upon. the Hospital during the ne.·t t n years.

Only a few other additions ar r quir d to ompl·t > th Hospital, such a raising the h ight of th drinking wat'I' tank 3 metres at a co t of £'130, in ord r to increase the pre UI' in the upper torey of th WI Hou . The farm house is in a v ry bad tate of r pair. I admit that w shall not be abl to get full mci ncy from the farm until the arte ian w 11 ha been complet el, but it might b 'advi abl to put it in a state of repair now at a co t of £200, be au e it would prevent furth r d t rioration <lnd '. -tra. .'pen ."

I a k d ir eorg ewman wh ther he would care to giv hi impr ssion of his visit to the Hospital at our Annual M ting in London, but in case he be unable to do so, I w uld remark that immediately he entered the ward his first r mark was ab ut their overcrowded condition, although he was appreciative of the work of the Ho 1ital. Mi ibb, the Matron, Mi . Gerw r, the Assistant Matron, and Mr. Lowri ,th I rk and teward, continue to render m mo t valuabl as i tanc in the management of the Ho pital. The bo ks of the Ho pital hav been regularly audited each quart r by Pr fess r ickoley of the merican University of inlt, and the r gular financial statements have been submitt d to the ommitt e. I hav to thank the memb rs of the Executive Committee in iriH for th gen rous support which they invariably ext nd to m in my work as Director. I, 1929. ...
