long step, but one which must have been
made in the seven-league boots, for 1t
has required so little time TO accomplish.
If any one has aided in the "back-to-

he no longer places his confidence in
drugs but relies upon sunshine, fresh air,
good food and exercise for his cures.
Insanity and nervous diseases are

him from a morbid, unhappy creature

There was a time when these untor-
tunate people were believed to be witches
possessed of an evil spirit, and were tor
tured and burned by our pious, puritan
fathers. There was another time when
they were chained to stone walls and
given a litter of straw. There was
later time when some of them were put
into straight jackets or bound TO their
beds. These have all been outgrown;
even the last two are never permitted
today by doctors in good standing. They
would constitute an admission of the
complete failure of the profession to cope
with its problems.
But the most amazing thing is the
manner in which this ultra-conservatlve
profession has come out of its ethically
entrenched fortress and has concluded to
relate itself to the social problems of the
day. Such a thing was never before
heard of. 1t is epoch-making history.
