Waupaca County Asylum - Weyauwega, WI
Physician’s Report


To the Honorable Board of Trustees of Waupaca County Insane Asylum for the Chronic Insane:

 During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929, the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the asylum and premises have been constantly maintained in their usual and highly satisfactory condition. The welfare and comfort of the patients has been most carefully guarded and protected.

 There have been no epidemics during the year among the patients and only a moderate amount of sickness.  The surgery has been very light, consisting of one injured hip and one fractured arm, both being caused by falls.
