Panic.
The Lancet says it is not much use^ asserting that assemblies of sane persons ought not to become victims of panic, but, in truth, unless the nervous system of man could be reconstructed on a principle which would necessarily deprive it of some of its more excellent qualities, it is impossible that there will not always be a tendency to impart and receive the impression, which so powerfully affects the mind and body that judgement is for the time suspended, and the limbs either refuse to act or act impulsively or under the control of the emotional part of the being. Discipline is the only remedy for a tendency to panic. What is needed to cure the tendency to panics in assemblies is the discipline of crowds.
