Extract

In dealing with insane patients the question of forcible feeding comes up for consideration very frequently. It embraces various points of great interest and importance, on each of which much could be said; but in the present paper I wish to confine myself to some short remarks under the following heads:—(1) The Methods of Forcible Feeding; (2) Feeding by the Œsophageal Tube; (8) The Kind of Food used: and (4) A Reference to some Illustrative Cases.
