Transcribed and submitted by Jean Spiegelberg 2008 Waupaca County Asylum - Weyauwega, WI Physician’s Report
To
the Honorable Board of Trustees of Waupaca County Insane Asylum: We have no epidemics during the year covered by this report. The sickness in part being such as will be found in every community according to seasonal changes, etc. To these cases may be added such as led to mental trouble for which they were committed or, such as have caused their mental trouble and the accompanying depression and lowered resistance. Surgery has been much lighter than usual. Except for one Colles’ fracture by a fall, it has been confined to minor cuts and bruises. The sanitary conditions have been the best, and the general morale of the institution all and more than might have been expected. Through the most excellent management of Superintendent Hayward and Matron, Mrs. Hayward, conditions have been as near as ideal as it is possible to make them. The mortality list for the year is as follows:
I am pleased to state that, as usual I have been accorded the heartiest co-operation of officers, employees and patients which has given me the opportunity to render greater service to the patients thereby.
