Noting the public attention 'towards the subject of insanity', discusses a Neue Preussische Zeitung report of the 'violent and frantic language' of some Jesuit missionaries, language which Punch thinks medical men would ascribe to mental illness. Expresses concern that the behaviour has reportedly spread to the local parish priest. |
