CARTER TELLS ABOUT T, B, WORK HERE Members of Woman's Club Hear Secretary of Relief Society Stross Need for More Help. The need for more funds from the sale of Christmas seals than ever be- fore was tlressed at a meeting of 1lic Woman's club yesterday by Mrs. . R. Cartcr, secretary of the Tuber- culosis Relief society. Mrs. Carter pointed out how the money is dis- tributed to take care of the work among patients, and what efforts are possible with greater funds in the fight against the disease. She explained the operation of the freo clinic and the services of the lung speclalist in the Booth block, and outlined the worlk of the nurses. | The growth of New Britain's popula- tion and the spread of the disease las brought a greater demand for funds to carry on the work, she told her hearers. She advocated the pur- chase of 25 or 50 additionals seals hesides the 100 recelved in the mails, saying this will go a long way to help.

Fall. Lugano, Switzerland, Dec. 12 UP— Prior to a discussion of the Pollsh- Lithuanian dispute today by the council of the League of Nations, Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania issued a statement denying that the recent conference between the two countries at Koenigsbrg, Germany, was a complete failure, as claimed by the Poles. He insisted that ap- preciable results were achieved. “The Poles,” said said, “intention- ally announced the breakdown as they wished to impute responsibility to the Lithuanians, but this was not true.” After pointing out that the dele- gates had arranged a convention oncerning local traffic between the two countries the premier said the League of Nations in requesting di- rect conversations had accomplished an important task for peace in the Baltic. He added: *Moreover the signature by Lithuania and Poland of the Kellogg pact is a guarantee which can supplement a pact of non- aggression between the two coun- tries. All danger of war is being avoided and normal relations be- tween Lithuania and Poland can be ohtained after a re-establishment of the legal status desired by Lithua- nia.” The last statement was considered to be an allusion to Lithuania's de- | sire to regain Vilna, which fell into Polish hands when seized by an- in- dependent Polish general. INSANITY CALLED MENTAL SIGKNESS Dr. Waterman Explain Treat- ment of Patients in Middletown “Mental sickness is really an ex- aggeration of a normal person's self being,” sald Dr. Chester Waterman, assistant superintendent at the Con- necticut State hospital at Middle- town, speaking before the members | of the Iixchange club at the Burritt hotel last evening. Dr. Waterman recalled the days when it was generally believed that those who became atflicted mental- ly did so either through divine pow. cr of the devil. He explained that for a long time no attempt was made to stundy such diseases and persons thus afflicted were roughly treated. Threats upon their lives, whipping and other such crude methods were practiced in an effort either to exor- cise the supposed bad spirits out of their bodies or to frighten them to Just what We know f you would b would buy, s AND 8!

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1923, the extent that their minds would revert to their former normalcy. As time progressed, study was given to mental disease with the result that it has been curbed to a certain ex- be learned. The speaker went on to say that the state asylums are conducted on an order identical with that of hos- pitals for those physically ill and the inmates are made to feel the same as those in hospitals, He said that unfortunately most persons are committed to asylums on complaint and the first step that the authorities must take is to get the confidence of the patient. Pa- are physically ill and are there for the purpose of recovering with a needed rest. After a preliminary test they are put to bed. Dr. Waterman stated that every day tests of the different parts of their body are made and after a few days of at- tendance by doctors and nurses, the patients begin to believe that they are ill and that good is being done for them. As soon as their confi- dence i8 complete they are given an elaborate mental test, followed by careful study in each case for a few days, until the full extent of the person's sickness is known, A study is made of the person's past family and personal history, if possible, and symptoms showing his mind disorders, such as actions, talk and intelligence are noted. Treatment is then started. 1f a person Is regressive and sort of retiring and becomes mentally {ll, his illness consists of regressiveness. Dr. Waterman explained this by stating that a child lives partly a |1ife of make believe, fantastic illu- sions, etc, and most persons men- tally sick return to this stage of life. Most cases where a normal healthy person regresses become chronic .uen the cases are greatly extended. Little can be done for such persons. Dr. Waterman explained that two- thirds of the persons who become inmates of a mental disease hos- pital have chronic afflictions and it is only with the other third that most of the hospital's time is spent. This results in the cure of a great percentage. ~ He said that 50 per cent of the persons taken in at the hospital are sent back to their com- munity, being harmless although not fully recovered.
