[77] One of the most gratifying of these is the generous gift of a clinic to London by Dr. Henry Maudsley. Up to the present this institution has been rendering valuable service to the country as part of the 4th London General Military Hospital. [78] _Appendix to Medico-Psychological Association Report_, p. 18. [79] “One thing which impressed ... [us] ... when going through ... the Giessen clinic with Professor Sommer, was the frequency with which we heard him utter the word ‘recovering’ as we passed the patients.” _Ibid._, p. 17. [80] _Op. cit._, p. 2. [81] _Op. cit._, pp. 15-16. [82] _Vide infra._ [83] p. 202. [84] “... at present we have few facilities for teaching the subject, and the subject is not taught.” (_Medico-Psychological Association’s Report_, p. 20.) [85] Concerning this sentence the _British Medical Journal_ wrote, on Nov. 29th, 1914, “A more severe indictment of the existing system than is contained in this report it would be difficult to frame.... We can add nothing to this strongly worded condemnation except an expression of agreement with the opinion that the statement of the facts submitted demands the earnest attention of public authorities and all interested in the welfare of the insane.” [86] Irrelevant because such books give an account of the morbid anatomy of the nervous system only as it presents itself after disease of very long duration. [87] pp. 82 _et seq._ [88] “The Development of Psychiatric Science as a Branch of Public Health,” _Journal of Mental Science_, January, 1912. [89] The gratifying establishment of the Maudsley clinic and the provision of facilities for out-patient treatment at a few hospitals in England and Scotland are signs that matters are at last improving. But we are sure that the physicians in charge of such out-patient departments would be the first to admit their inadequacy and to urge the desirability of the psychiatrical clinic of the kind described in this book.
