Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Trance State in Inebriety: Its Medico-Legal Relations
Dr. Maudsley suggested whether, in these cases of moral traumat ism, there might not have been a strong hereditary epileptic tendency. It occurred to him that in these cases of genuine acute mania of a tran sient kind, during which the person was unconscious, or would forget afterwards what he was doing, that kind of a mania might be a sudden outbreak in consequence, perhaps, of the patient's having drank too much.
Dr. Clouston drew attention to a correct description of this partien lar variety of disease which had been given by Dr. Hayes Newington, who called it mania a pom, and desired that the term should be restrict ed to this kind of disease. He (dr. Clouston) quite agreed with Dr. Maudsley as to there having actually been a very strong hereditary tendency.
