Death may be caused by ills of the mind almost as directly as by bod- ily disease, and the modern physi- cian must take the mental factor in- to account in his study of the ills of man, according to Dr. William A. ‘White of Washington, D. C. Dr. White, an alienist, who took a leading part in the Leoooldâ€"Loeb trial in Chicago, told the American Congress of Internal Medicine here that mind and body are not separ- ate and distinct.

Death usually follows the halting of an active life as in the case of an old man retired from his work to idleness. Young women, disap- pointed in love, careless of diet and neglectful of exercise, are liable to develop tuberculosis, which should be attributed to the mental rather. than physical cause. Treatment in such cases must start with the mind. Dr. White be- lieves. “Mind is but one way in which the organism responds to life situa- tions, of which the psychological and chemical and metalbolic are simply other aspects,” he said.
