I believe in the above-mentioned regulative agency because it is the simplest physiological way out of an otherwise tremendous difficulty, ''i.e. ''to account for the frequent relief afforded to functional derangements by hypnotism or mesmerism, when recognised plans of treatment fail. It is no explanation to get out of the difficulty by saying that no actual disease is present in these cases. Such an expression is as meaningless as it is misleading, for functional disturbances are too often the precursors of organic disease. | I believe in the above-mentioned regulative agency because it is the simplest physiological way out of an otherwise tremendous difficulty, ''i.e. ''to account for the frequent relief afforded to functional derangements by hypnotism or mesmerism, when recognised plans of treatment fail.

The fourth case calling for record is that of a man sent to my hospital on account of epilepsy. I first saw him lying on his bed with half-a-dozen men holding him.
