EXPERIMENTS AT MENTAL HOSPITAL. (Received 30, 10.55 a.m.) London, Sept. 29. Useful data is being obtained at the London County Mental Hospital from experiments m treating for general paralysis of the insane. A colony of malaria-infected mosquitoes was bred in a gauze protected building in which paralysed patients were exposed to insect bites. They thus contracted malaria naturally, instead of artificially, by direct blood methods. Out of 45 cases in which a malarial condition was thus induced nine were discharged as recovered and 13 have markedly improved. Ten failed to improve and five died; others are still being treated. Leading European specialists are personally interesting themselves in the experiment.—(A. and N.Z.)
