![prostate : and the harassed doctor with flatulent dyspepsia or hyperchlorhy- dria. These are they in whom physical and psychical disorder are so nicely combined that diagnosis in ordinary terms is a matter of grave difficulty. But these are they in whom the inner man has the last word ; if only it be spoken in time. If the golden moment pass by : if the patient be confirmed in his functional sins : such organic dis¬ ease may develop as only the Surgeon amongst us (if even he) can remove. But, even then, even if what we call the “ lesion ” is triumphantly removed and put on a plate, the psychical disorder remains, and craves for what is seldom refused ; yet more surgery, and more. The complete picture of parallel physical and psychical disintegration is best seen in general paralysis of the insane; and we may say that here we have an instance of concomitant psy¬ chical and physical disorder produced without ever the option being offered to the Psyche. But I am not so sure. 13]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29813256_0019.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
