Mental Diseases and Their Modern Treatment is a classic mental health study by Selden Haines Talcott. No one can presume to unfold in all their fullness and perfection the mysterious workings and the marvelous mechanism of the human brain. So intricate a subject can never be fully understood except by the Infinite Mind that planned and brought into action this rarest product of all creation. Still, possibly, we may comprehend in a measure the mechanism of the brain, and by careful study come to understand in some slight degree the uses of that wonderful organ, and also the disastrous effects of its misuse.
