Extract

Points of similarity between alcoholic and epileptic insanity are referred to by many writers on psychology. These short notes, which I bring before you to-day, refer to cases of criminal acts of violence committed by epileptic and alcoholic maniacs, and, I think, exemplify in a very striking manner the similarity above referred to—a similarity in the mental phenomena which preceded and which led up to the specific acts of violence in a series of cases.
