A HUNDRED YEARS AGO: Medico-Psychological Association.

The article highlights the quarterly meeting of the Medico-Psychological Association held March 14, 1889 in York, England. A paper on the "Insanity of Children" was read by Dr. Clifford Allbutt, as distinguished from "Idiocy and Mental Weakness." Also read at the event was a paper on the importance of the bath for use in cases of alcoholism, defective excretion and hepatic congestion. A discussion on the present, past and future of lunacy was also held among members and friends. The newly-constructed asylum for the West Riding at Menston in England was also visited by the attendees.
