2 2 NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HeALTH. WESTERN HOSPITAL AT MORGANTON. To the Board of Directors of the State Hospital at Morganton. CtEA^tlemex:—By direction of the State Board of Health the undersigned, as a committee from that body, have again carefully inspected this institution, and desire to express the gratification with which the visit was made. The excellent sanitary condition of the premises betokens the v\^ise and warchful judgment of your Superintendent and his subordinates. There is unfortunatelv an over crowding in the Hospital which must appeal as well to you as to us. The average yearly increase in the patients in the institution is thirty-six, so that some of the wards, where provision was made in the original plaiis for twenty-one patients, several more than twice that number are now accommodated. One floor of the ward espe cially crowded with dements, contains of necessity a number of tuberculous patients, who are also, from their enfeebled state, and exceedingly poor physical condition, incapable of control or direction. The records of this portion of the buildings show that death from consumption, or other forms of tuberculosis, are on the increase, and this points out the fact that there is also an increase of the infectious germs of the disease. These unfortunates under the evil effects of the overcrowding , and in one floor of the increase of diseases other than mental, can not be so satisfactorily brought under the benign influence of the methods of treatment now in v6gue in the hospital. We most earnesly ask that you will give this matter your attention, and devise ways and means to relieve a situation that is curable by the increase of ca3>acity of the institution, and needs your help as the appointed guardians of the stricken jjeople.

GtE^^tlemex:—At the request cf the Superintendent of your institution we, the undersigned, a committee of the State Board of Health, have carefully investigated the recent outbreak of typhcid fever among the employees and patients of the Hospital, and re spectfully beg leave to report: The facts, as we learn them from the Superintendent, assistant physicians, and some of the employees who were attacked, are as follows:
