Directly an honest and well-behaved man begins to suffer from brain-disease, before he shows any violent impulses, disorder in conduct, or signs of delirium, he has a premonitory symptom: he can no longer apply himself to work.
She is an efficient nurse, and she has nothing to do just now." "Has she had experience in cases of brain-disease?" said Doctor Middlemass snappishly. "I really do not know." She knew perfectly well that Sabina's knowledge of nursing was of the most perfunctory kind. "She has had experience of all kinds of illness, I believe, and she is thoroughly trustworthy.

The folly of the practice of boxing children's ears, and the possible disastrous results subsequent to this punishment, are well exemplified throughout medical literature.
