    FORT Xi^.]VlII-iTOIsr, 3ST. Y. (iNCORPORATKO 1866.) TnE Buildings are constructed for a special purpose, and they are more complete, better furnished, and better adapted for the treatment of dipso- mania and the opium habit than those of any other Institution in existence. The Management is systematic, thorough and adequate. There has been no change in the staff of medical or other active officers since the in- auguration of the Home, ten years ago. The Classification is more perfect than and the beneficial results are fully equal to those of any other kindred institution. Boarder Patients are classified according to accommodations required, and the charges are proportionately adjusted. Their departments are di- vided up into several floors, each containing such accommodations as the patients or their friends are willing to pay for. There are separate dining- rooms, lodging-rooms, and parlors, billiard and bath rooms. There is also a lecture-room for religious services, readings, concerts, etc. Several peri- odicals and daily papers are regularly taken.
