Miss LAWRENCE

The statistics of annual admissions show that the total number of married persons certified in the years 1921–1928 inclusive were 37,872 men and 43,276 women. Statistics are not available as to the number of these still remaining under care or the number that have been in mental hospitals for more than five years.
