Waupaca County Asylum - Weyauwega, WI

Physician’s Report

To the Honorable Board of Trustees of Waupaca County Insane Asylum:

I herewith present my report of the medical department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922

The general health has been up to the average standing.  No epidemics have occurred among the patients during the past year.  The sanitary condition of the premises, outside and in, has been maintained in the usual excellent condition and, therefore, no sickness of a preventable nature has existed.  The nature of other sickness has been largely such as is allied and incident to their insanity and old age.

The mortality list for the year is as follows:
