La surexcitation cerebrale est completement passee, mais je n'espere pas etre remis avant un mois." From West Lodge he wrote, in answer to one of my letters: "Our present business is to look simply to the question, what will be most economical?
After wading through pages of the long-winded confusion and second-hand information of the "Philosophic Positive," at the risk of a crise cérébrale it is as good as a shower-bath to turn to the "Classification of the Sciences," and refresh oneself with Mr. Spencer's profound thought, precise knowledge, and clear language.
This abstinence he practised for the sake of mental health; by way, as he said, of "hygiène cérébrale." We are far from thinking that the practice has nothing whatever to recommend it.
But he deludes himself if he imagines that any conclusions he can arrive at, while he practises M. Comte's rule of hygiène cérébrale, can possibly be definitive. Neither is such a practice, in a hygienic point of view, free from the gravest dangers to the philosopher's own mind.
"You must stop baiting Leo," Paula interfered, "and be truthful, all of you, and say what you do know or do believe." "Woman is a very sacred subject," Dar Hyal enunciated solemnly. "There is the Madonna," Graham suggested, stepping into the breach to Paula's aid. "And the cérébrale," Terrence added, winning a nod of approval from Dar Hyal. "One at a time," Hancock said.

Je me promene tranquillement. Je reste encore ici deux nuits pour gagner un peu de force. Je suis toujours tres faible, mais le cerveau va mieux, je n'ai point de surexcitation cerebrale. Je ne dois pas beaucoup ecrire. Ainsi tata, ma bien aimee. "Lundi soir. "Puisque je sais que tu dois etre inquiete je t'ecris une deuxieme fois aujourd'hui pour te dire que je vais beaucoup mieux.
Nevertheless, if M. Comte had been asked what he meant by "physiologic cérebrale," except that which other people call "psychology;" and how he knew anything about the functions of the brain, except by that very "observation intérieure," which he declares to be an absurdity it seems probable that he would have found it hard to escape the admission, that, in vilipending psychology, he had been propounding solemn nonsense.
