The ones as well as the others are conditioned, caused and intensi-lieby material changes of the physical organism of man. All the was this: that with the ordinary diseases pathological anatomy was better able to follow and show up the casual disturbances of the organism then with the mental afllic-lion- s jar excellence, which tire preeminently originated "bj changes in the brain, whose unveiling offers great and often insuperable difficulties to the probe, knife and microscope of the pathologist. But tor this very difficulty of investigation the diseases of tho mind were sure to excite the interest of the scientific investigators in a far higher degree. Hence the epidemic phenomena of cerebral derangements found in early times as now, conscientious and painstaking observers. In his books "On the Art of Healing," published in trim, neat rimes in the third century kftor Christ, Marcellus of Sida describes lykan-tiiuop- v as a popular epidemic known since immemorial times, originally making its appearance only sporadically, but soon affecting greater numbers of men who fell victims to the terrible hallucination of being into werewolves. metamorphized Under this fearful delusion they would assail those whom hey met, like wolves, trying to bite them, and would at night time scratch tho graves open under a direful wolf-likhowling and growling. This epidemic whose ex'stence is too well authenticated to admit of any doubt, incredible as it appear has nowadays totally disappeared, but still there are people who believe that there exist men who are able to change themselves into Wolves and this belief prevails not only among the "old women" of tho lower, illiterate ranks of society, but is to be met in cultured circles.
