  	    The supposition that we can correct insanity by the use
15	of purgatives and narcotics is in itself a mild species of
  	insanity. Can drugs go of their own accord	                             Drugs and
  	to the brain and destroy the so-called inflam-	                             brain-lobes 
18	mation of disordered functions, thus reaching mortal
  	mind through matter? Drugs do not affect a corpse, and
  	Truth does not distribute drugs through the blood, and
21	from them derive a supposed effect on intelligence and sen-
  	timent. A dislocation of the tarsal joint would produce
  	insanity as perceptibly as would congestion of the brain,
24	were it not that mortal mind thinks that the tarsal joint is
  	less intimately connected with the mind than is the brain. 
  	Reverse the belief, and the results would be perceptibly
27	different.
