    Three patients died during the year who were more than eighty years of age. Two were between the ages of seventy and eighty years, and three were between sixty and seventy years of age. One of those who died during the year had been an inmate of the hospital for a period of more than thirteen years ; one had resided .here twelve years ; another more than eleven years, and three others more than ten years each. Two patients who died during the year were brought to the hospital in such a feeble state of health that they could not sit up at all, and neither of them ever recruited in the least, although they lived several weeks.
