1087 A. (cont.) the air that passed into the basement was freely admitted from outdoors. Q. What is your view as to the merits of the lodge system as compared with the bed straps and straight jacket system discarded here. A. From my standpoint I m inclined to think that the mechanical restraint would be more irksome to the patient. By Mr. Oaks Q I want to know if it is a general rule to put patients into the lodge without any clothing on? A. That I can give you no information upon. It is aa thing I have vey little to do with. I could not state about what proportion go in without any clothing on.
