Mean, 41.30 



According to Dr. Casper, who has examined the returns from 

 the principal Hospitals and Asylums in England and France, the 

 mean of cures are as follows : 



In France, out of 100 insane, 41.81 are cured. 



In England, out of 100 insane, 37.40* 

 There may however be some fallacy in these general deductions, 

 and I therefore add distinct returns from various Institutions.
