The watchful eye of affection Is usually
quick to discern a deviation from bodily
health in a member Of the family, but
when foreshadowings Of disease begin TO
appear on the mental horizon how ire
Quently It occurs that relatives, either
through ignorance or through conscious
ness OF an inherited faint and dread OF
the odium which attaches thereto, close
their eyes to mental vagaries, absent
mindedness, eccentricites and other mem
tai or physical disturbances which are
monitors OF mental decay and which
should have aroused anxiety? The MS
tories Of many insane persons in custody
to-day reveal the sad fact that in the be-
ginning these prodrOmes, or danger sig
lnals, we're ignored and the disease allowed
to proceed unchecked until 1t reached
hopeless chronicity.
Prominent among the premonitory symp-
toms of insanity are physical disturbances
morbid emotional manifestations and
marked changes I'm the mental chara cteris-
ucs II the tendency Is to mental exalta-
ton or mania, the emotional changes usu-
Tally take the form Of unnatural buoyancy
loquacity. undue levity and morbidly
quickened mental operations. II the ten
dency Is to mental depression or melan-
cholia, there are gloomy forebodings, NOR
bid introspection, senseless self-condemna
ton aversion to friends, morbid suspi
ciousness, irritability and frequently
vague sense OF Impending eNii. Marked
change Of character is seldom wanting II
this stage Of the disease. Thus, the de
vout person may become profane; the re
fined. immodest; the staid individual, ca
nricious and vacillating; the social. unso
