tons, tcmperaments and capacities, we ought
to gather the lessons of experience which
teaches versatility in interpreting character,
and the different features presented i'll various
cases dependent entirely upon different tenn
permanent In adopting rational course of
examination, may learn something by
our questionings of the mental status of
our patient while we are forming an opinion

cess depends in AS large degree upon our
know ledge of human nature and ready
adaptation of ourselves to the varying phases
of it with its notifications and
changes due to diseases, as to the
medical sciences themselves. | do not
