Extract

The investigation of which the ten cases here dealt with constitute the early stage was undertaken in connection with an inquiry, still in progress, into the gastric digestion of a test-meal in cases of dementia præcox. Incidentally, Sir Arbuthnot Lane includes dementia præcox amongst the conglomeration of diseases which, according to him, are traceable to coprostasis.
