BACILLUS OF INSANITY.
A Scottish Practitioner Sets Up the
Theory That Madness is Infectious.

A Scottish Practitioner Sets Up the
Theory That Madness is Infectious.
From the London Mail.
DR.. Ford Robertson. in the first Of tbs
Morrison lectures at Edinburgh, has put
forward a theory as to the cause of gem
eral paralysis OF the insane which the med
zeal faculty are in no wise inclined to accept
as conclusive. He declares that evidences
is available to show that general paralysis
and the allied diseases. tables dorsals. ars
as specific in their causatiOn as tubercu-
losis, typhoid fever or diphtheria.
With his assistants he succeeded in OBJ
tanning culture Of the diphtheroid baclllus
from the brain in nine out of twenty-threa
cases of general paralysis in which the ex-
pertinent was made.
Inquiries among the best specialists I'M
London yesterday indicated that while tho
medical profession regard DR.. Ford Rob-
ertson's theories with sympathetic interest.
they do not consider that they advance our
knowledge of how best to deal with gen>
eral paralysis In the insane one whit. Re-
greet is expressed that so far nothing de.
csive has come from his experiments.
These have been carried out chiefly on
rats and in the circumstances present
difficulties not easily overcome. They
have been going on for some years.
A medical expert whose name is known
throughout Europe yesterday informed the
Daily Mail representative that the theory
was one which had regretfully to be dis-
carded He praised DIR. Robertson's ability.
but suggested that he has not at all salts
fed the best authorities on the subject OF
general paralysis in the insane.
THE bacterial theory in this case does
not hold water. 1t is quite true that unless
our system destroys the bacteria we shall
be consumed by them, but they only do thar
in the body when it has begun TO decay.
The body has begun 10 decay when general
paralysis sets in, and the bacilli cluster
there like flies on carrion. DR.. Robertson
theory does not account for many things.
For instance for the fact that We can
detect general paralysis ten years before
the acute stage sets in. Nor does il account
for the cases OF remission. Frequently
patients get better for a time. Now, who
