JAMES MURRAY’S ROYAL ASYLUM, PERTH, This Asylum is healthily situated on the Hill of Kinnoull, in the immediate vicinity of Perth, and commands a prospect extending over the Valley of the Tay to the Range of the Grampians. It has been from time to time so altered and improved as to render it an efficient Hospital, as well as a comfortable Home, for all classes of Private Patients. Being a Chartered Corporation under the manage¬ ment of a Statutory Board, who have no pecuniary interest in its prosperity, the profits on each year’s transactions have been devoted to modernising and perfecting the original fabric. The Directors having felt the necessity of procuring additional accommodation, to be used as a convalescent home, and for patients of the higher classes suffering from the milder forms of mental dis¬ ease, have taken on lease the Mansion-House of Kincarrathie, in the neighbourhood of, but distinctly separated from, the Asylum. The private and extensive policies afford every facility for exercise and recreation within the grounds. The arrangements throughout the entire Institution are of a Domestic Character, with ample means of Occupation and Amusement. The above-mentioned Convalescent Home, a Seaside Residence, and Carriage Exercise are available, and the utmost Liberty, with due regard to Safety, is accorded. The Institution contains no Paupers, and no publicity is implied in the proceedings connected with the admission of Patients, nor in the term “ Royal Asylum.” The various houses of the Establishment being connected by Telephone, are all within the surveillance of the Physician Superin- tendent. V.-. Applications for admission should be addressed to Dr. Urquhart, Physician Superintendent, who will give all necessary information regarding Rates of Board,, and from whom may be obtained the Statutory Forms, which mukt be duly fille^j up before Patients can be received.
