Extract
The opportunity I have of speaking to you is for me both a pleasure and a privilege, but it is also, I fully appreciate, a responsibility.
The field of psychiatry to-day is not unfruitful and not a few discoveries of lasting worth appear to have been made, while certainly claims to progress of more doubtful value, both as regards letiology and even more with regard to treatment, are so numerous as to be rather bewildering, particularly when they become the subject of articles in the popular press, whereby relatives are enabled to make a diagnosis and decide on a line of treatment without any reference to the medical man.
