For the treatment of general paralysis of the insane by induced malaria, the Board of Control, in consultation with the Ministry of Health, decided, at the end of 1924, to make an official arrange ment by which a pure strain of the benign tertian malaria parasite would be cultivated in mosquitoes, and would be made available for inoculation by mosquito-bites instead of by the direct inocula tion of blood from other patients. In consultation with the Mental Hospitals Department of the London County Council, the Horton Mental Hospital was selected for the work of pre paring and maintaining the strain of malaria in mosquitpes, and Col. J. R. Lord, C.B.E., Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, undertook the necessary arrangements in collaboration with Col. S. P. James, of the Medical Staff of the Ministry of Health. An isolated villa in the hospital grounds was selected as a treatment-block and laboratory; the Horton Mental Hospital authorities caused it to be mosquito-proofed and furnished, and the Ministry of Health supplied the scientific equipment of the laboratory. The Ministry also arranged that the routine laboratory work should be done by one of their laboratory assistants, Mr. P. G. Shute, under Col. James's supervision. I undertook the selection of cases suitable for treatment and their clinical care and management. The arrange ments were completed in April, 1925, and since that month 33 batches of infected mosquitoes have been prepared and utilized for the inoculation of more than 300 patients in 69 hospitals in England, Wales and Scotland.

Shortly after the introduction of therapeutic malaria into this country, the Ministry of Health and the Board of Control, in consultation with the London County Council Mental Hospitals Department, established a special centre for this treatment at Horton Mental Hospital. A separate villa in the hospital grounds was set apart for the work, and, through the interest, advice and help of Col. S. P. James, M.D., F.R.S., of the Ministry of Health, a laboratory was equipped and arrangements were made for the supply of malarial infective material to all parts of Great Britain. The work was begun in April, 1925, and during the seven years that have elapsed since then, 200 cases have been treated. These cases are all women, drawn from the various London County Mental Hospitals; recently, however, an annexe has been added to the centre, and facilities are now available for treating men also.

Care And Treatment

On 31 January 1938, Sir James Crichton-Browne died a few months after his 97th birthday. In him the Royal Society lost its oldest Fellow, both in age and in membership, for he was elected Fellow in 1883, Charles Darwin being one of his proposers. His father, Dr W. A. F. Browne, who was the first Medical Superintendent of the Crichton Royal Mental Hospital at Dumfries, was largely responsible for the high standard of care and treatment of the insane for which this institution has since been famous ; later he became Commissioner in Lunacy in Scotland. It was therefore not surprising that after qualifying in medicine in Edinburgh University at the age of 22, his son decided to devote himself to the study of mental disorders. After serving in junior posts in various county Mental Hospitals he was appointed in 1866 Medical Superintendent of the West Riding Asylum, at Wakefield, a post he held until 1875. It was here his most valuable researches and pioneering work was done.

The statistics on mental hospitals published by the Ministry of Health (1957) show that the average length of stay for admissions to mental hospitals decreased in the period 1952–1956. According to the Registrar-General's Mental Health Supplement (1961) there was an average saving, between 1951 and 1958, of sixteen days for men and thirteen days for women, among patients staying less than one year. But these figures for stay only relate to the patients discharged each year, irrespective of the year of their admission, and furthermore we do not know what happens to particular groups such, for example, as schizophrenics. Although remarkable changes are occurring at the present time, study of them is hampered by lack of appropriate and up-to-date information.

There is widespread interest in development of approaches to monitoring the quality of the diagnostic service provided by pathology departments. Novel approaches are being developed for analysis of performance, while there is active interest in the selection of diagnostic categories that can be reliably applied in service laboratories. Initial progress has been slow but organisational problems and professional inertia have been largely overcome. The scene is now set for continuing critical appraisal which must lead to improvements in clinical care.
