Extract

Physicians who are brought into contact with large numbers of cases of bodily disease are generally agreed that many of them exhibit mental symptoms concurrently with their bodily illness which are entirely due to the disease itself, such as the initial delirium of pneumonia or the profound depression of influenza.
