Curious Freak of Insane Persons.

Curious Freak of Insane Persons.
A Belgian physician. speaking OF
stimulation by the insane. says that IN
cases of insanity where the intellectual
faculties are not too much disordereh
the insane may simulate another form
of insanity than their own. The forms
of insanity most often simulated are
in order of frequency, imbecility. de-
mentia and mania. The other forms
are not so frequently simulated. \
lunatic generally Stimulates insanity to
escape punishment, and an expert ply
sician should not therefore in such
cases be satisfied with a diagnosis IF
stimulation. Such diagnosis does not
exclude real insanity, and the physi-
clan should therefore endeavor to as
certain whether or not the simulator is
himself lunatic. With care patience
and long continued observation it is
possible to make complete and cor
rect diagnosis, and this is the more i'm
portant as in these cases the serious
question of responsibility arises.-Lon-
don Family Doctor.

The story recently printed in The Times
that new medical students are sometimes

cut up dead bodies. called forth cunsid-

One physician and professor IN one OF
the colleges said that the students got
.Ised to their gruesonle work with Won
derfi1i readiness. Students often cone to
the college who are timid and many OF
them never saw probably more than one

The resigna tons were presented so

Hon Thomas w. Gardner. member
of the Council. made a strong appeal
to the body not to accept the resigna

courts on the subject. He said he was
sure the Supreme Court would hold
that it was not the intention of the
convention to have the section relat-
ing to free passes apply in such cases,
and the designations were finally with
drawn, pending a. decision on the sub
ject.
