might be supposed, and the doctor, as
sisted by four nurses, inserts the
stomach tube, and in an incredibly short
space of time a liberal allowance of milk
has been fed despite the determination of
the patient to eat nothing. Nor has the
sufferer anything save a little ineon-
venience, she has not been permitted to
struggle so as to hurt herself, and has
received nothing but the strongest and
yet the gentlest handling.
The reasons why patients do not eat
and refuse all food are varied as the
patients themselves; some think they
will be poisoned, others have determined
to commit suicide by starvation. and
others simply refuse without giving any
reason whatever. In another ward not
far away sits an elderly woman near the

fortunately a we'll known yet pitiable
fact that few come to such a hospital
nearly soon enough to derive all the ben

several reasons for this, and perhaps
TIE strongest is that the relatives are
usually the last to notice that mental
disorder has sent in, and often not until
some overt act has been committed that
thruStS the fact upon them forcibly.
Often even then they find it difficult to
