    01 diseases marked by morbid brain^activity, will be put upon its true basis-and that insanity of a]l kinds will show an ever-increasing percentage of cures as the result of fresh developments in rational, scientific curative-treatment. In the preceding pages it has been my intention to show that this scourge of civilisation is, when attacked by methods based on right principles, infinitely more curable than it is generally believed to be. The future has, doubtless, in store for suffering hum;inity, great surprises in reference to the curability of many so-called incur- able, hopeless maladies—such as Insanity of long duration, Epilepsy, and allied diseases, Cancer, Phthisis, Locomotor Ataxy, and other forms of Paralysis. In- sanity of long duration has hitherto been one of the opprohria medicince. Perhaps the reader will think that, in tiie direction here but imperfectly indicated, lie the remedies that will lift the disease out of this category, and place it upon the list of those that are hopeful, because they can be brought under the influence of well-chosen remedies. The writer himself adopts this view of its curability, not only as the result of abstract reasoning, but with the confidence inspired by constant experience on the living subject. T. W.
