Observation has convinced us, that l.: most
cases the individuals attacked have more or
less anowledge Of the presence of the disease;
put ior some reason best known to themselves
tney neglect to name it, even to their nearest
friends, and they do nothing to get rid of the
feelings; so the dlease goes on fncubating tim
1t is more developed, when the manifestations
begin to be observed by others most intimate.
Even then, no decisive action is taken with
the view of averting the impending storm
iney wait hoping, no: suspecting there is any
thing going on that is alarming. At length,
the crisis comes, an explosion takes place, and
the poor sufferer is fully in the jaws of the ter
rible malady; no one now doubts the presence
of insanity. What is then done? Why often,
nothing, except when the type of disease is
ole dangerous to himself or others. All con-
tinue to wait and see if something better will
not turn up. The favorable opportunity for
relief passes-the disease becomes fixture,
and the unfortunate one is carried to some In
stitution, where great expectations of speedy
recovery are entertained ON the part of friends.
The sad testimony of the late Hon. Preston
hiag short time previous to his fatal leap
rom the Hoboken Ferry boat, Illustrates my
idea upon this point; when he "said to his
friends around him that he had broken down
was incapable ofmaking any effort-that he
