| Description | Typescript account of a lecture given by Norman, continuing the subject of general paralysis. Norman comments that while the disease is most common in those of middle-age, cases in infancy are all an 'indication of hereditary syphilis'. He recommends the study of the diseases as it is the diseases most likely to bring the doctor in contact with the police, as most cases first 'excite suspicion of mental trouble by mere silliness, sometimes accompanied by extravagence' which brings them into contact with the police. Norman presents several patients to illustrate this point, and well as discussing the likelihood of delusions with general paralysis. |
