Now there are many mental operations where exactly the same rule holds good with the sick; coeteris paribus their capability of bearing such operations depends directly on the quickness, without hurry, with which they can be got through. So true is this that I could mention two cases of women of very high position, both of whom died in the same way of the consequences of a surgical operation.
