MENTAL DEGENERATES. In Tho Practitioner, the leading,monthly medical journal in Great Britain, 'appeared recently an article on Alcohol and Insanity, contributed by Sir Frederick Mott, K.8.E., M.D., E.R.S., E.R.C.P.. Hon. LL.D., Director of tho Course of Psychological Medicine, Maudsicy Hospital, London County Council. Consulting Physician to Charing Cross Hospital, Hon. Director of Research and Lecturer on Morbid Psychology, Birmingham University. He says;— “Chronic alcoholics with progressive mental deterioration drift generally into the vagrant class, or into the floating populations of the prison.- and workhouses. Such cases, therefore —and they probably constitute the larger part, of the mental disease due to intemperance—are not included in the official statistics of insanity, and on that account are not reckoned in our c.stirnate of the contribution that alcoholism makes to lunacy.”—Advt.
