† There is little doubt from Dr. Johnson's observations that hypertrophy of the heart is found in conjunction with hypertrophy of the walls of the small arteries; but it is obvious if the hypertrophy of one is balanced or adjusted by the increased power of the other, no ill effect would result. Dr. Johnson tells me that in certain of his cases in which hypertrophy of the walla of the arteries of the pia mater existed to an extraordinary extent, there was no marked cerebral disturbance till just preceding death. It is much more probable that in insanity the impure condition of the blood induces the hypertrophy.Google Scholar
