His eyes, however, have been a source of trouble, and the spectacles prescribed are valueless for reading. “Recently, his nervous twitchings have given me cause for alarm.

He developed a certain amount of natureinstinct, and learned to live by the animal senses and instincts, and consequently the development of the concrete mind was sub-normal. The mental body was only very partially developed, and almost entirely untrained, so far as the concrete activities of the mind are concerned. The emotional body was largely developed along the line of animal instincts, and there were strong indications of animal passions, which he had not been
