![THE MONGOL IN OUR MIDST disease. They are obviously devoid of the inteUigence normal for their age ; they are of Mongolian fades but are even more simian than Mongolian. They represent the ' Infirmary Mongol.' II. At our great hospitals we see children, aged between six months and four or five years of age who, brought because they are ' not getting on,' or by reason of some croupy or other respiratory trouble, are obviously back¬ ward mentally as well as physically, and who are definitely Mongoloid in their make-up. These children re¬ present the Hospital type of Mongol : the weaker die, but some improve and pass into other spheres of observation. Others fall still more into arrears of development and are recognised ulti¬ mately as imbecile. III. In asylums for imbeciles and idiots we meet with boys and girls, aged between seven and fourteen, who —classical Mongolian imbeciles in the sense of Dr. Langdon Down—represent the Asylum type of Mongol. Some of these, indeed many, die before puberty. [ i6]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b18025110_0023.JP2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
