Extract

At a time when Insanity is commonly looked on as a bodily disease; when the only aspect of it that receives systematic study is that of disturbed bodily function; when a leading neurologist speaks of the mind as “a force evolved from the brain; when the main difficulty in the exposition of the facts of insanity lies in procuring an acknowledgment that there is anything besides the bodily health to be studied; little insistence need be laid on the importance of a systematic and methodical examination of the condition of the bodily functions in cases of Insanity.
