Such, perhaps, was true science in Dr. Fenwick's days. But the true science of our modern times proceeds otherwise; it either denies point-blank, without any preliminary investigation, or sits in the interim, between denial and conviction, and, dictionary in hand, invents new Graeco-Latin appellations for non-existing kinds of hysteria!” KnowsMindKindTwoStatesStoriesHandsThreeBeliefModernStrangeJudgmentConvictionDenyDenialLatinState Of MindInvestigationBlankDrsDictionaryIntervalsHysteriaModern TimesSuspensionInterimStrange Stories Author:H.
