The work of Deslandes, by pointing out the dis
eases resulting from excuses, the evils Of which
are manifest in every insane asylum, less than in
the shattered constitutions OF those ndulging, will
do much TO prevent the vice, which, by lis preva-

OF the highest medical authorities pronounce il the
