Extract

In this paper the writer aims at bringing into prominence some advantages derived from the application of the principles of hospital treatment to the care and management of insane epileptics. Much of the clinico-pathological work recently done on epilepsy tends to support the view that such treatment is correct; and, further, it is now generally accepted that treatment of the so-called “Acute Insanities” (mania, melancholia, etc.) on hospital lines gives the best results.
