TWO Victims Of Aphasla Brought In


as Object Lessons.
Atlantic City.--Aphasia and the mo-
dern campaign against insanity were
the two great topics recently before
the section on nervous and mental dis
eases. DR.. Charles X. Mills, OF Phila-
delphia, presented two patients whose
minds had become almost wholly de-
prived of memory Impressions, BUT
who had grown better by method OF
treatment which had some features
of novelty. DIR. 7. II. Weisenberg. OF
Philadelphia, had been his assistant
In applying this method.
The first patient, 70 years old Was
almost totally aphasic when he came
under observation, and also had Jack
sonian epilepsy. His power OF speech
was wholly gone, and there was only
one word which he remembered. ano
that was his family name, Seynlo1r.
The doctor diagnosed the case as
probably one OF a hemorrhagic lesion
within the Uranium. This patient
had been most anxious TO reacquirS
the knowledge which he had lost, and
for four and half years had worked
perseveringiy to this end. DR.. Mills
ano his assistant began with him
after the old method of repetitiol and
Gictation. lie had improved very
gradually.
The patient stood UP before the as.
sembled sayants in the Brighton ca
sino, and obediently exhibited his
ability to read a few sentences, very
slowly and stumblingly, from primer
designed for a child of about years.
DR.. Mills said that the second pa
tient at first was virtually word
deaf" and "music-deaf." His case was
one of sensory aphasia. He had had
an apopletic attack in November last
resulting from some unusual excite
ment in relation TO his business. His
memory of language had been lost
totally.
The patient, whose last name is
Johnson, was also subjected to the
primer test in the presence of the
section.
Has the cat seen the rat?" was
one of the sentences which he read
badly.
Dr. Mills said that In his experience
cases Of sensory aphasia improve
rather more rapidly than those of mo-
tor aphasia, although certain author
tiles think otherwise. In prosecuting
the task of re-educating the memoir
les of these two men he had used
what Is called the physiological al
phabet as far as 1t would 60, but had
found 1t inadequate.
The paper on "The Present Cam
paign Against Insanity" was present
ed by DR.. w. ]. Herdman. Of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, and embodied in general
way an account of the progress OF
alienists and the methods of caring
for the insane in Europe and America

JOHN P. CIRQUE GETS DIVORCE
Suit Against His Wife Is Not
Contested In Circuit Court
An Injunction Is Granted.

Stockholders OF the Rothwell q
Lovett Co., say that there seems to be
misunderstanding regarding the OBJ
jects of the suits in the Circuit court,
brought by four Of the local banks
and aggregating some s22, 600. Mr.. J.
p. Wickersham, manager of the insti-
tutinn, says the plant has never been
ia such promising and furnishing con-
dition, and his statement il backed
up by that of Mr. +. e. Wilson, cash
Ter of the Peoples Trust. 90, who
says the paper of the company is re-
garded as gilt-edged among the banks
here.
There has been some squab5ling
among the stockholders, resulting in
a readiustment Of affairs. the matter
reaching the court for final adjudica-
ton. There is a capital stock of some
s75. 600, improvements during the
past year or two amounting to about
$40, 600, all paid, with return of
some 10 to 10 per cent. net to the
stockholders. This would argue a
condition far from defunct. The mat
ter will be adjusted through the suits,
and the ice and cold storage plant
will be 8 permanent fixture here. All
of which is matter of qualification
to the people of Martinsburg.
