Extract

All the forms of insanity we have hitherto been considering have been more or less connected with the sexual organs or sexual functions and conditions, with the exception of the first and last—the epileptic and phthisical insanity. The forms which follow are mostly connected with disease of the body, affecting the brain sympathetically, or disease of the brain acting on its functions directly.
