Treatment of General Paralysis.
51. The experimental scheme for the co-ordination of the work done at the
mental hospitals in connection with the treatment of general paralysis of the insane
by induced malaria, to which we referred in our last report (Annual Report of the
Council 1928, Vol. II., p. 17, par. 54) is producing useful results as regards both the
treatment of individual patients and the investigation of the disease. We have
authorised the continuance of the arrangement for a further period of 12 months.
