The dependence of the mind upon the condition of body has been much dwelt on, and the student owes a debt of gratitude to those investigators who have given this fact such prominence and emphasis. "But after all, it is wonderful how the m'.d often as serts its sovereignty over the body, disdains all disordered condttidtts, nod even in the paroxysms of physical soRVmug achieves her wost brilltant effects. This significant supremacy confirms the belief, that there is in us an immaterial principle, not absolutely dependant on bod ily organization, and whose activity is not solely dependant on the functions of the brain!
