CURING A DEGENERATE.
Criminal Reformed by a Surgical Operation.
Dr. Northrop, Dean of the Hahnemann Medical College, at Philadelphia, announces that he has cured a criminal by a brain operation. The man was formerly a respectable citizen, but iu 1891 he was struck on the head by a piece of falling timber, and immediately became a typical degenerate. He drank a bottle of whisky daily, stole bis employer’s money, and finally was discharged for stealing .£BOO.
Dr. Northrop operated in January, 1907. He found that the dura mater was adherent to the plate of the skull, and that the membranes were glued together in a solid mass. The patient became normal on his recovery from the operation. He is now a total abstainer, has got his old position back, and has been promoted twice for industry and excellent work.
