From the fifteenth table, we derive some valuable facts. First. The disparity of cases from intemperance in the different sexes, of the 110 cases from this cause, 93 were males and 17 females, two or three only were delirium tremens.

Of the cases of insanity from intemperance, about 50 per cent recover in this Hospital.

Relapses from recoveries of insanity are not more frequent than from other acute diseases, and are less numerous than we should expect, when we consider that many patients return from the Hospital to the scenes and circumstances connected with the origin of the disease.

If insanity arises from domestic afflictions, the loss of friends, or the reverse of fortune the impressions may be again renewed, when the individual arrives at home. The lost friends are not there, the indications of former prosperity are gone, the discords of domestic strife may be renewed, poverty may again oppress, and intemperance, of all causes of insanity the most likely to be renewed, because temptations are everywhere presented.
