Part 8 (1/2)
This astonis.h.i.+ng number of cures has been effected by the vigorous agency of remedies, which others have not hitherto been so fortunate as to discover; by remedies, which, when remote causes have been operating for twenty-seven years, such as weighty business, severe exercise, too great abstemiousness and little rest, are possessed of adequate power directly to _meet and counteract_ such causes.[22]
It will be seen by the preceding table, that a greater number of patients have been admitted, between the age of 30 and 40, than during any other equal period of life. The same fact also obtains in France, as may be seen from the statement of Dr. Pinel, (_Traite Medico-Philosophique sur la Manie, p. 109_,) and which, from its agreement with that of Bethlem Hospital, is here introduced to the notice of the reader.
