The reports OF the asylum at Cairo,
Egypt, as 10 the native patients there
exhibiting the nature of the mental
disturbances associated with the eX-
cessive use of hasheesh are said to
show some remarkable facts. il ap-
pearing that in IL per cent of all the
male patients, hasheesh alone, or in
combination with alcohol caused the
mental symptoms, while this was the
case with only per cent of the fe-
males.
AS TO whether there is a special rec
ogniZable form Of mental disturbance
produced by hasheesh, authorities con-
clude that in considerable number Of
cases in Egypt the hasheesh is the
chief If not the only cause of such
mental disease.
The usal types of the disease are
hasheesh intoxication-that is, an Ella
ted and reckless staggering state,
with optical decisions and hallucina-
tions. Acute mania Is another form
of hasheeSh insanity, involving fright
full Authorizations, restlessness. sleep
lessness. incoherence. and exhaustion;
again. there is exhibited a weak mind
edness, the patients, though well-be-
haved, being eXcitable about small
things, and unconcerned as TO the fu-
ture.

sold themselves, and that their sales
men were mainly useful In keeping the
pianos polished with their fingers
while talking to the customers. He
talked with the enthusiasm OF man
who is interested in his subject and
wound up by showing his visitor
around the salesrooms, explaining the
various instruments and their special
