[44] I give M. Voisin's description of the symptoms in his own words. "Elle est arrivée dans mon service en état d'extase mystique, exécutant continuellement des mouvements de ses deux mains, surtout de la droite, semblables à ceux d'une personne en prière; elle porte souvent les mains à son front comme pour faire le signe de la croix. Elle murmure des mots, entre autres, _Ave Maria_. La physiognomie exprime la douleur mêlée d'extase."

I recommend a careful perusal of this important and exhaustive essay of Professor Horsley to all those who desire to acquaint themselves with what is known about the structure and functions of the thyroid gland; for it will be remembered that it is to the experiments on animals by this learned and accomplished scientist, that we are principally indebted for our knowledge of the connection between myxœdema and loss of function of the thyroid gland.

The author of the above treatise is one of the most prolific French writers on Idiocy, and I desire to call especial attention to that part of the work which embraces the Medico-Pedagogic Treatment of Idiocy. In this section, M. Bourneville describes in minute detail the gymnastic and physical training adopted at Bicêtre, the description being copiously illustrated by plates, which cannot fail to interest those engaged in the treatment of idiocy.

The Eastern Counties' Asylum has been established for the care, education, and training of Idiots and Imbeciles of all classes residing in the Counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge.

In these Counties there are upwards of 3,000 cases of Idiocy and Imbecility, and the Asylum at Colchester is _the only one_ in the District. It stands in its own grounds of six acres, near the Railway Station, and is supported by voluntary contributions. There is a small Farm attached to the Asylum and a Sea-side Branch at Clacton-on-Sea, and there is accommodation for 250 patients. Those whose friends are unable to pay for their care and maintenance, are elected to the benefits of the Asylum by the votes of the Subscribers, and, subject to the rules and regulations, are admitted for five years. It is expected, however, that some contribution should be made if possible. After residence in the Asylum for 3-1/2 years, and if it is found that patients are unable to be taught wholly or partly to maintain themselves, they may be re-elected for additional terms of five years, and a small proportion are allowed to be re-elected for life. Insane persons, and cases suffering from confirmed Epilepsy, are not eligible for admission. Paying Patients are admitted by the Board of Directors, without election, at any time, the charges varying according to the circumstances of the friends and their requirements. Separate sitting and bedroom accommodation, with the advantage of a special Attendant or Nurse, is provided when wished, such an arrangement combining the quietude and comfort of a private residence with the hygienic, educational, and training resources of a Public Institution. The Asylum is under the personal charge of Mr. and Mrs. J.J. C. Turner, Superintendent and Matron, and there is likewise a Resident Medical Attendant.

The Elections occur in the Spring and Autumn, and are held in the principal towns of the Eastern Counties. Donors of Five Guineas are entitled to a Life Vote, and Annual Subscribers of Half-a-Guinea to two votes annually, the right of Voting as regards higher sums being increased in the same proportion. Contributors may individually exercise the right of Voting, or transfer the same to the House Committee of the Asylum or to any Local Committee.

Reports, Forms of Application for Admission, and any other information will be supplied by the Secretary, Mr. John J.C. Turner, Asylum, Colchester.

The Board of Directors earnestly appeal for Annual Subscriptions and Donations to enable them to carry on this important work. Since 1884 the Annual Subscriptions have been reduced, owing to deaths and discontinuance, by upwards of £1,000. The applications for admission are numerous and urgent, and the present expenditure exceeds £7,000 annually, towards which only £800 is forthcoming from invested Capital. Only those who are brought into close contact with mental affliction can adequately realise the sad trial and immense anxiety of having an Idiot child, and where this affliction has not been experienced, it is hoped that some sum, however small, will be given as a thank-offering.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From the _British Medical Journal_.

"We feel quite sure the profession will gladly welcome the second edition of Dr. Bateman's well-known and valuable work. It teems with illustrative cases, and is essentially one for the student of Aphasia always to have by him, in order that he may readily refer to it from time to time; any case he may have under his care will indeed be rare if he cannot find an allusion to a parallel one in Dr. Bateman's book.

"We think that the author was very well advised in extending chapter xii., for there are grouped together a number of interesting facts on important topics, such as the difference between the convolutions of criminals and of intellectual men, the difference in the microscopic structure of the brain, the cranial capacity, and other subjects of which it is usually difficult to find any mention."

From the _London Medical Recorder_.

"The numerous clinical cases form a valuable feature in this book. These illustrative records have been gathered from a wide range of reading and experience, and hardly any case of importance bearing on the subject appears to have escaped notice. As a work of reference, then, this volume will be indispensable to all who are interested in the study of nervous diseases."

From _Nature_.

"A useful part of this work is a chapter on the Medical Jurisprudence of Aphasia. This is a subject which we believe has not been touched upon in any previous English text-book, and it is of the greatest importance. To summarise briefly, we may say that Dr. Bateman's work is one that should be read by everyone interested in the faculty of language, or in diseases of the nervous system. It contains an enormous amount of valuable material, which has been put together by great labour, and is written by one who has devoted many long years to his subject."

From the _Solicitor's Journal_.

"This book is a second and greatly-enlarged edition of a treatise published some years since by Dr. Bateman. It gained a prize, on the recommendation of the French Academy of Medicine, in 1891, and its author has recently received the honour of knighthood, in recognition of his distinguished labours.

"While the whole work possesses great scientific interest, chapters v. and x. are of peculiar value to general and legal readers. In the latter, the Jurisprudence of Aphasia is dealt with. This question has not hitherto been treated by any British author, although it involves issues of such frequent occurrence and general importance as the capacity of speechless persons to make a will and to manage their affairs, and their civil and criminal responsibility. Having examined this part of Dr. Bateman's treatise with the utmost care, we have no hesitation in commending it heartily to our readers as an able exposition of a difficult subject, enriched by illustrations from Continental Jurisprudence."

From the _Norfolk Chronicle_.

"In the goodly volume of over 400 pages before us, we have substantial proof of the perfection that may be attained by Theory and Practice, walking and working hand in hand. An eminent physician, whose great energies and rare knowledge of therapeutics are apparently absorbed in the everyday exercise of his noble profession, has yet found time for deep research and original speculation in one of the most fascinating regions in the whole range of Neuro-pathology. The result is such as only the well-directed devotion of a life-time could have produced. Here, in one, we have a student's text-book, a scientist's guide and companion, and, lastly, a psychological treatise certain to attract a large share of attention at the hands of the intelligent general reader. For the medical profession it possesses, without doubt, a primary interest--yet, withal, it is replete with interest to the general reader."

CONTINENTAL NOTICES.

_Les Archives de Neurologie_, Vol. xx.

"Ce livre est la deuxième édition considérablement augmentée du traité publié il y a vingt ans et bien connu de nos lecteurs.

"N.B.--Ce livre est parfaitement au courant de la science actuelle."

_La Revue de l'Hypnotisme._

"L'ouvrage du docteur Bateman a déjà reçu un accueil favorable de l'Académie des sciences et de l'Académie de médecine de Paris. En le présentant à la Société de Biologie, le Président, M. Brown-Séquard, a fait un éloge mérité de ce remarquable ouvrage aussi savant qu'original.

"Le livre du docteur Bateman apporte une contribution précieuse à la médecine psychologique. M. Bateman a compulsé toute la littérature scientifique de l'Europe et de l'Amérique sur le sujet qu'il a traité, et ses études faites pendant plus de vingt années sur les cas qu'il a rencontrés à l'hôpital de Norwich et dans sa clientèle privée, lui ont permis d'arriver a des conclusions véritablement pratiques."

_Annales d'Hygiène Publique et de Médecine Légale_, Tome xxvi., p. 583.

"La première édition du traité de M. Bateman avait été très favorablement accueillie du public médical. La seconde édition, augmentée d'observations nouvelles, tenue au courant des progrès de la science, n'aura pas moins de succès.

"Les premiers chapitres du volume sont consacrés a l'historique de l'aphasie et de la localisation de la faculté du langage articulé: l'auteur y rend pleine justice aux auteurs français, Broca, Trousseau, Charcot, &c., qui ont les premiers soulevé cette question délicate. Le chapitre iv. contient les observations personnelles de M. Bateman dont beaucoup ont été recueillies dans son service à l'hôpital de Norfolk et Norwich. Dans le chapitre suivant M. Bateman étudie et analyse la faculté de parler, la parole articulée, résume les opinions de Max Muller, de Whitney, de Parchappe, &c. La parole est un acte physico-psychique, composé de deux éléments, l'un somatique et matériel, le mouvement, l'autre psychique, la parole interne, le λογος. Le langage est donc une fonction à la fois impressive et expressive. La fonction impressive nécessite l'action de l'ouïe, de la vue ou d'un des sens, c'est la fonction sensorielle du langage; l'autre résulte d'une action musculaire, et constitue la fonction motrice. Le langage articulé est l'apanage de l'homme seul.

"L'auteur décrit ensuite le mécanisme du langage, les organes de la voix, le larynx; il étudie plus loin les différents types de langage; il montre que le langage articulé n'est pas le seul moyen que l'homme ait d'exprimer sa pensée, il oppose le langage naturel au langage artificiel ou acquis, &c.

"Avec les chapitres suivants nous entrons dans la pathologie; M. Bateman y décrit l'agraphie, l'aphasie dans toutes ses formes et variétés. Il étudie ses causes, son diagnostic, son pronostic, son traitement, son importance en médecine légale; enfin dans les derniers chapitres, M. Bateman s'occupe plus généralement de la localisation de la parole, et il résume les opinions des physiologistes les plus célèbres depuis Gall jusqu'à Barnard Davis, Flower, Broca, &c."
