No patient is received for a less period than three months. A certificate of insanity, signed by two physicians, and acknowledged before a magustrate, is invariably required.
A lady, well educated and of unexceptionable manners and deportment, resides in the same apartments, and devotes her time to lady patients, thus securing them on all ocasions a pleasant companion and a watchful friend.
A limited number of cases of Opium habit can be admitted.

I am so sorry for the interruption to my postings,
each move gets a little harder on me and I take longer to get all my boxes open.
The packers with this transplant were terrible in marking the boxes and I have no idea what to expect when I open them, still looking for all my photos. So in the interum if you have anything you would like to share , please send me some emails with pictures to add, after all this is for the whole family and future generations to enjoy.
Thanks for your support and comments,
enjoy the holidays
Any old Christmas photos would be fun to share...
after all "Tis the season"

After World War II, many people took advantage of the huge excursion ships of Wilson Line which had been in business for a century or so. These boats ferried 800 passengers from Philadelphia to a New Jersey park, traveling down the Delaware River to the now called "Riverview Beach Park." It was a short trip, about 34 miles and took about 75 minutes each direction. The company ran two ships; one was the SS Liberty Belle and the other was the SS Delaware Belle.
