Extract

A discussion of the use of prolonged narcosis in mental disorder might seem to be something in the nature of a valedictory address. The ease of application of electric convulsion therapy (E.C.T.), and the excellent effects of its use (1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 25, etc.), particularly in melancholia, have tended to overshadow the benefits to be obtained from an efficient narcosis clinic.
