DR. STEVENSON GIVES LECTURE
It was the privilege of Exeter
people to hear Dr. G. H. 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. In fact, it is a
poverty stricken one that does not
have at least several hundred thous
and dollars worth, of gold and gems
presented by devotees in past gener
ations.
The history of India dates back to
430'0 B. C.
The earliest record of shorthand
for English speaking people is that
‘of a system worked out by John of
Tilbury—a monk, in 1180.
There was an efficient system of
shorthand for writing the Greek
language as early as 250 A.D.
