Treatment OF the .2C

Ninist ring to minds diseased IS one
of the most difficult and as at present
managed. the most hopeless tasks. Ex-
listing conditions are due largely to
circumstances over which the friends
Of the unfortunate and the general
public have no control. But, all the
same, these conditions work directly
against the patients recovery and
serve to increase the tendency to
vaGarics in minds only SLIGHTLY unset
tied 1t is said by medical and mental
scientists thai there is no such thing
as a perfectly balanced intellect.
Every human being has some lido
syncrasy, some flaw in the construc-
ton, some weak spot that under undue
pressure will give way and reduce the
victim to a state of insanity or hope
less cranIlinc35. The first and indis-
pensab!c requirement for persons af-
1icted with mental unsoundness is q
situation entirely apart from others
sane patients in wards and permit
ting free intercourse among those
given 70 all sorts of ecccntricities are.
in the opinion Of the New York Ledg-
er, unquestionably the worst folly Of
which the caretakcrs Of these people
can be guilty. BY constant asso-
citation and daily interchange of
thought and opinion these unbal-
nnccd minds have every oppor-
tun;ty TO absorb more that is
detrimental and to learn thousands of
whims and caprices that, alone and
untaught, they would never have
dreamed of. An unsettled brain is
fertile ground for the growth Of the
rank weeds of evil thought and desire,
md these creatures, in almost all
cases persons of exceedingly active
and nervous tcnpcraments, are simply
undergoing q process Of education that
i likely to destroy whatever healthy
and nCt1ral brain-tiasue their mis-
fortunes may have left them. Thrown
constantly in the way of the lowest
and most abandoned forms of mind
disease, it is perfectly natural that
they should become familiar with it,
and, as they are idle and easily at
tracted by things new and strange,
they are almost certain to grow worse
instead Of better. Much the better
plan, in place Of this herding together
of the insane, as isgencraIly practiced,
would be some arrangement by which
each individual case could have special
treatment carefully adapted to the
needs OF that particular case Let the
highly nervous or excitable person be
in charge of some thoughtful, far-see-
ing nurse or physician, one who would
be content to let nature do some
thing, and would, instead of forcing,
nagging and worrying the patient,
seek to remove all irritating causes
and conditions and give the over
strained nerves the opportunity to re-
gain their normal strength.
