Extract

Pace Mr. Punch, we know that there are plenty of takers, and anyone who uses convulsion therapy soon becomes convinced that much good is achieved in one way or another. Moreover, it has become evident that the treatment is not applicable to schizophrenia only; some striking results are seen in depressive states and in atypical paranoid and obsessional cases. This matter is dealt with at length in Dr. Cook's paper. These results, together with the comparative ease of application of the treatment, suggest that it will inevitably be tried out on a very large scale indeed.
