nistration of physical and moral remedies for their relief, to "Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow," &c. The spirit of love, tender sympathy, Christian benevolence, unwearying kindness, and warm affection should influence every thought, look, and action of those engaged in the responsible treatment of the insane. It is the special province of the psychological physician to "Fetter strong madness in a silken thread, Charm ache with air, and agony with words." What a holy, honourable, and sacred occupation is that in which he has the privilege of being engaged! Angelic spirits might well envy him the ennobling and exalted pleasures incidental to his mission of benevolence, love, and charity. INDEX. A.
