On the best Mode of tabulating Recoveries from Insanity in Asylum Reports

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

Much attention has been directed of late, more especially in America, by Dr. Pliny Earle, to the ordinary mode of calculating recoveries from insanity. Having examined with some care into the different results of several modes of making these calculations, I propose to state in this paper the conclusions to which I have been led, and to suggest an improved form of tabulating cures in the Reports of our asylums.
