can show.

He was successful in a most remark able degrés. It was given to him to show that the disease known as general paralysis of the insane is, in fact, syphilis of the brain. The importance of this discovery can scarcely be overstated, “G.P.I.,” us it is called in professional nomenclature," is one of the "classic" diseases. It represented, before Mott's day, a great disorder of the mind, and ita symptoms, the delusions of grandeur and so forth, had been studied" inten- sively by generations of students. Mott's work withdrew this malady from the mental to the physical sphere. That work, often assailed, has stood the test of time, and is now. universally accepted. Curiously enough, Mote himself lived sufficiently long to witness another strik- with ing discovery in connection "G.P.I."-the new, treatment of the disense by artificially-induced-malaria fever. This treatment was of the charac ter of an accidental discovery. Ita value, however, is no longer disputed. Thus, within a generation, a disease-of-the- tir has been shown to be in fact a bacorial disease of the body and has been found to be curable, in some cases st any rate, by physical means.

"SHELL SHOOK"

Most next turned his attention to the condition known as precocious dementia. The war interrupted this study and set Eim busy with the problem of shell shock, at which he worked with his wonted en- thusiasm. He was able to show that shell shock cases can be divided into two great classes: a few cases in which there actually, has been's shock and in which tiny hemorrhages into the brain substance "can be seen; a large number of cases in which unfit men break down under the stress of war and in which no actual shock has, as a rule, taken place.

When the war ended the researches on the precocious form of dementia, were pursued and published. Mott found that certain cells in the brain of sufferers from this affliction show definite physical changes which can be observed microsco -pically, and he was able. to indicate that. these changes are of the nature of fatigue. He was further able to show that the changes in the brain bear a close relationship to deficiency of the serual glands. In other words, this disease is physical rather than mental ment

Further confirmation of Mott's work- ing principle has recently been furnished. by the after-histories of many of the victims of Encephalitis Lethargica ("Bleepy Bickness"). These unfortunates may suffer a complete change of moral character, and would certainly have been classed as "Moral imbecilea 2 were not. the fact known that they are suffering. from gross organic disease of the brain. Mott's record na a physician and patho- logist was a singularly brilliant one. His name was honoured in every civilized country, and he was the recipient at one' time or another of all manner of academic honours. The post which he valued most highly, and in which his great work was done was that of Patho- logist to the London County Asylums. In this post he became associated with the late Mr. Maudsley, and played a prominent part in the institution of the Maudsley Hospital at Denmarkhill. This hospital, with its splendid promise ofresentch into mental disease, is a monument to the genius of Mott as well- as to the philanthropy of Maudsley,

THE MAN BIMSELF- Mott was born in Brighton on October 23rd 1853, and educated at University. College. He won many honours, and was Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and LL.D. of Edinburgh University. He was also a consulting physician to Charing. Cross Hospital. When he retired from his post in London he became associated with research work in Birmingham,

No kinder or more gentle man ever lived: Nor were his enthusiasms confin- ed to medicine, He was amuai- cian and a lover of the arts. But over and above that he was a most true and loyal spirit who grudged noth- ing to his friends, and who counted in that category all the sick and suffering with whom he was brought into contact.
