Extract

In the following brief contribution it is proposed to bring under notice a class of cases of mental disorder in which digitalis has been administered in this asylum with marked apparent benefit, and to deduce from them a few indications for its successful employment. This is not inclusive of instances of insanity complicated with, or dependent on, heart or other physical disease, in which ordinary medical experience has shown digitalis to be of great service as a therapeutic agent.
