Extract

Much has been written about the possible somatic modifications that cardiazol, triazol and other convulsive agents bring about, and many investigations directed towards the elucidation of physical changes have been attempted. Such work in the materialist tradition of medicine is, no doubt, valuable. It would be unfortunate if it were to obscure other considerations.
