Stevenson, Superintendent of the Ontario Men­ tal Hospital, London, last Wednes­ day evening in Caven Church. The chairman of the evening, Dr. J. G. Dunlop," introduced Dr. Stevenson. Dr. Stevenson gave a most interest­ ing lecture on “The Causes and Pre­ ventions of Mental Disorders.” He stressed the importance of cultivat­ ing healthy mental habits, such as reading, acquiring friends, interest in ho.bbies, interest in healthy recrea­ tion and above all right thinking. Following the lecture, the speaker was asked many questions by. the enthusiastic audience. Among the things discussed was the insulin treatment for patients suffering from dementia praecox. Dr. Steven­ son told of its success at the New Toronto Institution. The speaker claimed that here was only one kind of insanity hereditory and that was very rare. He stated also that con­ trary to popular opinion that he did not believe that mental cases were on the increase, but that people to­ day realized that dementia patients may be completely cured by ade­ quate treatment. Mr. Stanley Smith A.T.-C.M. favoured with an exception­ ally well rendered piano solo. Mss. G. S. Atkinson moved the vote of thanks to the speaker of the evening. This was the fourth in the series of University lectures sponsored by the Y. P. G. On April 6th, Dr. Sherwood Fox, president of Western University will give a talk on Ire­ land. Mr. F. W. Gladman will act as chairman and introduce the speak­ er. Quidnunc The temples of India aer store­ houses of wealth.
