I would feel that I have not performed my function here as a doctor if I did not say to you to be thus careful in your diagnosis and then help to work out a plan whereby, if this subject cannot be made well, he can at least be made more self-dependent. Use all of your influence to help to cite where these men can find niches into which they can go and make it possible through the influence you can bring to bear upon the people who are associated and connected with them that they are better when they really are established in their homes. There is no case in the world that is more unfairly treated than the neuro-psychiatric case. We all know that by many experiences and observations. So let us give particular and special attention to this subject. They say to us we have no specialists in this line. I am not so sure but we are better off for that. This is what I do believe: that every man who has broad experience of a general practice of medicine is competent and capable of quickly developing himself to conduct these cases along carefully. You have no greater field, men, either for yourselves, for the patient, or for your Government, than in this field. Now as to the tubercular case. The error we find in the matter of the tubercular case is this: We find a great many cases are diagnosed tubercular when really they are not,—a very bad impression, as you can imagine, to give to any subject. So let us be very sure, let us leave no influence, or power, or activity unused that will help us to define the exact attitude of these cases. We know, as was related here yesterday, that many of the so-called cases of shell shock are really due to other causes. This is my own observation of those cases, we had a number immediately after the war, at the Institution with which I am connected, and we found a most invariably these men were the subject of the toxemias of fatigue, and by relieving the toxemic conditions, whether it be uremic infection, or what not, these cases soon got well and their mental symptoms soon subsided. So be sure that you be perfectly fair with these men, and you are never fair with them until you have exhausted every resource in discovering whether or not, as the basis of their mental or nervous disturbance, there may not be some physical condition. The meeting is now in charge of Dr. White. DR. WHITE: I hope there will be free discussion of this matter. There are a good many men who have had charge of neuro-psychiatric hospitals, and I hope you will feel free to get up and briefly set forth such vital problems as you may have in mind. In order that we may cover as many problems as possible, I will, with your permission, let you know when the five minutes is up, so we can cover the ground as fully as possible.
