OFFICE OF DR W T ADAIIt
iioal Sup’t Male & Female Sei
and Insane Asylum etc Tahlequah
The homo for the Indigent Dumb Blind Insane and
other during the year has enjoyed comparatively speak-
ing a good degree of prosperity The building
Itself Is substantial and Is looutod with a vlow to health
Bltuntud upon a high dry point convenient to wood and
water' It is free from nulurious influences and noxious va-
pors— we do not think tlmt a location llfore healthful and
free from local causes of sickness could have--been found
rijaaijjp01 tfitullon now stands— lit fact we
can soe uBlneal- oaus for sickness whatever In its sue
i country sdjuoent is

atn)ngtho first applicants ad-
seven year sgo when it was
i the ttjn this Institution wss
es unfortunstes down to the
ttnd ss ngr as f mu as
'As near as can be ascertained since the Asylum was
putin operation down to present time thore have been 12
deaths— 7 males and 5 females During the year now ended
there have been 8 deaths— males 1 and females 2 Mrs
Tucker— North Carolina Cherokee— died March 31st of
Cerebro-spinal menegitis— was "articulo mortis ” when she
eutored-ilivod only four days after admission Folly
V j
Jumper died April 19th 1883 also of congestion of the
brain and spine Both of these inmates died of acute
disease
There seems to be a notion prevalent that the Asylum
is intended to be made a kind of Infirmary to treat those
who are poorand unable to pay a physician for his services
This cannot be so - The Rinds are not sufficient for such
a purpose— like any other home the inmates however
must be attended to medicinally when ever it is required
On this point in my opinion there is need of some further
legislation in order to become an inmate of the Institution
Under the head of “desorepitude ” there are many who
make application for admission purely with a desire to re-
ceive medical treatment The word “dftrepit" can only
refer to those who have become physically disabled and
thorofore unequal to the task of making a livelihood
by reason of old age The law should be very expelioit in
enumerating the condition upon which a porson can be-
come an inmate of this Institution A young person how-
ever crippled and disabled cannot be said to bo “decrepit”
Tbe salary of the Medical Superintendent for attending
upon this Asylum £ia only two hundred and fifty dollars
125000) per annum and out of this tho expenses of
furnishing medical supplies must come — hence the neoes
A
sity of strictly requiring persons making application for
admission to conform to the intentions of the law
In order that full justice might be dono all parties— in-
mates and physician also I would recomend that the ex-
pense of furnishing medical suplies be met by the Nation—
or if not furnished by the Nation— that the Medical Super-
intendent’s salary be raised from two hundred and fifty
dollars per annum to five hundred dollars por annum A
majority of the inmates are affliotod with somo chronio ail-
ment or other and require regular and continuous treat-
ment— and the larger portion of the $25000 ia used every
year to pay for supplies— Modical Superintendent's salar
should be $50000 per annum for attending tbe Asylum (
There is no good reason why this Asylum should silt
enjoy success and prosperity equal to that of any othr
similar institution elsewhere good government and qs-
cipline in its management soems to me would do muchto
ward making it a success In an institution of this klul
tire Inmates should be required to be regular in tbeir jab-
its They should hqye regular and healthful exefise
They Bliould be required to do such labor aa woulej not
bo Incompatible with health They should not be alhwed
to straglo over the country adlibitum They should bo so
mnnagod as to forbid a tree and unrestrained IntJcourse
between the sexes Health to tbe inmates and eoosmy in
expenses would naturally follow an administration j f this
kind But In order to carry out these views we 'hlnk it
would bo advisable to mako some changot in the aw as it
now stands Tho innungoment of the business mttors of
tho Asylum is placed in tho hands of the Board ofTrustees
and they are required to meet quarterly at the institution
to manage and dirlect the affairs of this Homo ibne of the
members ol the Board of Trustees Is also reqf'ed to visit
the inslltutidn each month eta
