Sayfa 134 - In the course of a few days Pinel released fifty-three maniacs from their chains; among them were men of all conditions and countries, — workmen, merchants, soldiers, lawyers, &c.

Sayfa 132 - From his frequent excesses, he had been discharged from his corps, and he had speedily dissipated his scanty means. Disgrace and misery so depressed him that he became insane: in his paroxysms he believed himself a general, and fought those who would not acknowledge his rank.
