Extract

It has long been recognised that a sympathetic connection exists between the body and the mind; irritability of temper from a sluggish action of the liver, and the hopeful view phthisical patients frequently take of their ultimate recovery (the “spes phthisica” of some authors), are familiar examples of the influence of abnormal conditions of the body upon the mind.
