Plan Strong Plea for State Epileptic Colony
The Illinois State Board of Charities backs Gov Deneen in a push to fund a state epileptic colony, arguing it would relieve hospitals and segregate patients. Secretary Graves envisions a three‑group facility for insane epileptics, sane epileptics, and custodial cases, with local sanatoria also possible under the Glackin law. The national association cites New York and Ohio examples and notes epilepsy is nearly as common as insanity, urging action in the forthcoming legislature.
