consideration is usually imperative. For

being Is insanity and a reflection Of devital-
fssd mental force or suspicion Of weakened
Intellect expressed In q word or q glance, Il
enough sometimes to totally unbalance .
wsvefing brain. It Is frequently best to in
form the patient that he needs treatment,
and generally he submits to 1t. An over
worked brain or a diseased intellect is usually
conscious Of failing power and Is tho moro
sensitive and jealousy watches the actions OF
thoss who arc near. endeavoring at all times
to prevent the success Of plans believed TO
have been laid to entrap them
