Medical and economic report on the psychiatric department (with a colony) of the Odessa City Hospital for 1901

At present, almost all psychiatric hospitals, asylums, and even small departments print their annual medical and economic reports. Such reports are of great practical and scientific importance. Their practical significance lies primarily in the fact that they acquaint the public with the inner life of the hospital, directly and openly report those sometimes sad events in this life, those accidents that often take place in psychiatric hospitals and which, unfortunately, , very often it is not even possible to foresee and warn. At the same time, the reports do not in the least hide these sad facts and sad events in the life of the hospital, they give them an appropriate explanation and indicate their causes.
