JoHNsTowN AND INSANITY.
Mental Effect of the Great Flood Upon
Those Who Passed through II.

Those Who Passed through II.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The seventh annual reoo-t Of the state
committee on lunacy, issued yesterday, IS of
especial interest a short paper on the
Mental State of Some OF the Survivors of
the Johastown Disaster" deserves TO be cited
in full:
Doubtless there occurred in many in
stances, a-nolE lose who perished, brief
period OF frenzy sufficient in intensity to
ha' perm a. e thy overthrow their reason
had life befn spared 10 them, aud there
existed proof that, in not a few instances,
suicide had been invoked as a means of es-
cape from an overwh Ginning sense of peril:
out far outnumbering these were instances
OF true heroism, fortItude and reliance upon
divine assistance aud protection, as
was evincei in the efforts Of par
euts to save their children, husbands
their wives and sons their aged parents,
which are much less Dainful u contemplate.
To majority of the victims death was
probably almost instantaneous, but there
were also those who apparently
were hop Hlessly imprisoned and
cut of from human aid to
whom fearful doom slowly Apr ached
by rising water and approaching flames;
but of even these. the survivors miracu-
lousy spared, none are known to have be-
1
approaching death.
AN extensive correspondence by the
writer with all the hospitals, almshouses aud
other sources, public and private, of infor-
nation upon the mental state of the sur
vivors, reveals the present existencs of
about fifteen cases Of insanity in q Y man.
ner referable to the effects of the great
catastrophe, of WI m seven were men,
eight women: three males and four females
had been insane prior to the food had been
restored and were residing at Johnstown,
of whom three males and three females had
each had one previous attack; one female
three previous attacks.
None of these cases have been in immi-
nent'personal peril except one, a woman. 10
years of age, wno had floated to a place of
safety upon a bedstead. OF these cases
seven have since recovered under hospital
treatment. OF those attacked acute mania
developed in 1--WE males, four females acute
melancholia in one male. one female; acute
melancholia suicidal in one male, one
female; subacute melancholla in one female
and senie dementia in one female
I'm reviewing this very small total, the
conviction is strengthened that the great
and over whelming trials OF life are much
less liable to overthrow the reason than the
continuous worry and attrition Ct minor
evils and unavoidable contact with depress-
ng surroundings"
