Following this line Of treatment in
dementia praecox, and bearing in mind
the similarity of symptoms, DIR.
Owcnsby found that instead OF re
ducing the symptoms, the treatment
seemed to acccntuatc them.
He was thus forced to the conclusion
that instead OF the disease arising from
lack of secretion there was a likeli-
hood Of over-sccretion, owing to dis

conclusion opened up the possibility Of
using the knife to cut away the dis

give opportunity for new blood vessels
to form.
