    REPORT or COMMISSIONERS IN LUNACY. (Entered in Visitors’ Book.) Berks Lukatic Asylum, Nov. 23rd, 1892. We regret we have to begin this entry by a reference to the death of Dr. Donty, late Medical Superintendent of this Asylum, which occurred somewhat unexpectedly in the summer. Dr. Douty had, during the time he held the office, displayed much zeal and intelligence in the discharge of the duties incident to it, and in the management of the Asylum, the condition of which he had certainly improved. He has been succeeded by Dr. Murdoch, who was his assistant and with whom are now associated two Assistant Medical Officers. We have to-day thoroughly inspected the Asylum, which we find in excellent order. The wards are clean, bright, and cheerful, and the arrangements for maintaining in them a proper temperature have been greatly improved. The beds and bedding in the sleeping rooms are clean and good ; and we can on the whole express a favourable opinion of the dress of the patients of both sexes. W7e would recommend however a-greater variety of material and patterns for the women s dresses, which may be provided without increase of cost.
