General paralysis is a most seri- ous malady, responsible for some of the worst types of insanity and generally regarded prior to the introduction of malarial treatment. as incurable. The particular in- 177fecting organism responsible, at least in part, for the production of the disease is well known, and certain drugs have a marked in fluence upon this organism when It is situated in other parts of the body, but when it digs itself into the brains, as it were, these drugs are almost without any effect.
