Cyclo pedia of Law and Procedure, known as Cyc," will be of interest. He says:. . . .. . , ;:t'' 'To say that a man Is guilty of no crime in New York If he kills another while Insane, although true as A gen eral proposition, is too Indefinite. It Is necessary to go further and as certain' what' Is meant by . the term Insanity, for It admits of degrees and appears In various phases; and it Is necessary to go further still and as certain what-is meant by the term under the laws of New York, for the law of this State on insanity as a defense differs from the law In some j aw . v. .... a,M,M ESt OF INSANITY IN NEW YORK "Under the penal code of New York (sections 10 and tl), as under the law in all other States (11 Cyc. 166; hand, to exempt from - responsibility for . a homicide committed while In sane, If the. Insanity was such that he did not know the nature and quality of his act or did not know that it was wrong. On the other hand, t o exempt from responsibility in New York.although.lt is .other wise In Alabama, New Hampshire and some of the other States (12 Cyc. 169; Cyc. 666), the Insanity must be such as to have this effect. In this State section 20 of the penal code declares that "an act done by a per son who Is an Idiot imbecile, lunatic, or Insane, Is not a crime." But sec tion 21 expressly provides that "a person la not excused from criminal liability as an idiot, Imbecile, lunatic, or insane person, except upon proof that, at the time of committing tho alleged criminal act, he was laboring under such a defect of reason as either, (1) not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing, or (2) not to know that the act was wrong," and section 23 provides that "a morbid propensity to commit pro hibited acts, existing in the mind of a person who is not shown to have been incapable of knowing the wrong fulness of such acts, fcims no de fense to a prosecution tr.irefor." ; "These provisions prescribe the only' test of Insanity as a defense In criminal cases known to the law of New York, and therefore, although a man may be to some extent Insane when he kills another and although medical experts may agree In so tes tifying, he Is nevertheless criminally responsible If - notwithstanding his defective or perverted mental condi tion, he knew the nature and qual ity of his act and knew that it was wrong. People v. Christ, 168 N. Y. ; People v. Silverman 181 N. Y. 215. Whether he was insane to such an extent Is a question for the jury. The defense must Introduce some evidence of insanity, but if It does, then the Jury. In order to convict, must be convinced of his sanity be yond a reasonable doubt. INSANE DELUSIONS. "In order that Insanity may be successfully set up as a defense In a prosecution for homicide, It is not necessary that the defendant 1 shall have been totally Insane, and on all subjects, but monomania, or an In- ne delusion, may be sufficient to empt, although on all other sub jects the accused may have been per- isouy sane, wnetner It Is or not In York must be determined bv plying the test laid down In sec- n 21 of the penal code above loted; and therefore an Insane de- Hon is a defense If it was such as prevent the accused from know- k the nature and nuailtv of hi t t from knowing that It was wrong, t not otherwise. People v. Taylor. IS N. Y., 398. The rule as to this -fiphass of Insanity is correctly given in si wyciopeaia 01 juaw ana procedure, w v I m SHwevuv S0 1UHVTTI, Ak the defendant Is partially Insane, that is, subject to Insane delusions as to certain things, bnt In other respects sane, he is not criminally responsible if the homicide would be excusable or Justifiable In case the facts were as his delusion leads him to believe them to be; but If the homicide would not be justifiable or excusable under those circumstances, the delusion Is gener ally held not to free hjm from re sponsibility. See People v. Taylor, 1IJ N. T. I; Ouiteau's case 10 Fed. : "To illustrate: If a man kills an other under the Influence of an In sane delusion that God has com manded him to do so, he Is guilty of no crime, , for, instead of knowing that the act is wrong, he believes it L"..: J eonrse, whether he did kill tinder the influence of such a'de !vrionJi 1neittol 'or the Jury on th enc- The tame Is true if a tnan kills another nnar th ini.n. of an insane delusion -that the other Is In the act of attempting to kill him (the slayer) or t Inflict ' J evous C?lZ m" t0t V .uch: were k f86, ' Homicide -would be Justifiable.

IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE. "It Is held In Alabama, Massachu setts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and a number of other States, that a man Is not responsible for a homicide- committed ; under the Influence of ait insane irresistible Influence, al though he may know the nature and quality of his act and that It Is wrong, on the ground . that medical experts practically agree that such a mental condition may exist as the result of genuine Insanity, and if it does in fact exist in any case, then the person laboring: under such an inflrmityi is. In so . far ; as criminal responsibility ; Is concerned in the same, position as it a stronger '.man should isea his hand and compel him, against his will, to commit the act, " 21 Cyc. 65, collect ing many cases in the various States. "In other ' States, , however, - this phase of insanity, In spite ot the med- teat testimony as to its existence, Is not recognized (21Cyc. 4, 165; but as mere moral perversion or passion, so long as the slayer knows the na ture, and quality of Jils act and that It is Tvtong; and this Is true in New YorkMinder thr eMsproTlBioosoi the renal code above quoted. In this State, therefore, an Insane frre slstible impulse Is a defense If the ac cused did not know the nature and quality of his act, or if he did not know that It wa wrong, but not otherwise, ' even though medical ex pert jnay all agree tn testifying that the impulse was due to genuine in sanity, and that It Vwas . irresistible. People v. Carpenter 102 N. T. 238. EMOTIONAL: INSANITY "Mere emotional insanity,, so-called where, the person knows, the nature and quality-of -his act , aru that it was wrong, Is no defence Anywhere, and is expressly- excluded in- New York by the provisions of the Penal Code quoted above. If a man unde the Influence of excitement, passion; or f renty caused by anger, jealousy, the passion of revenge, or any other cause whatever, kills another, when he has sufficient mental capacity to know the nature and quality of his act,' and that it is wrong, he may be guilty of murder in the second de gree only, because of the absence of the elements of deliberation and pre meditation, which are necessary to murder in the first degree (People v. Parberl, .U9 N. Y- 156; ,21 Cyc..7S2), but he is not exempted entirely from responsibility even though his ev cltement or passion may have been apparently uncontrollable and It has been held even though he may have also been laboring under some mental defect, rendering him more liable than a perfectly sane man to yield to the Influence of such excitement or pas sion. 21 Cyc. 866; People v. Foy, 128 N. Y. 664. '"This rule, however, does not ex clude as a defense genuine insanity, as distinguished from mere turbu lence of passion, merely because It verge, or other like cause. If .lt was genuine Insanity, whether total or merely partial, as In case ot delusion, and prevented the accused from knowing the nature and quality of his act, or from knowing that the act was wrong, It Is as complete a de fense as like Insanity produced by any othet, cause; and If there Is any evidence tending to show such genu ine Insanity, it Is within the exclusive province of the Jury to determine whether as a matter of fact it did exist. People v. Foy, 188 N. Y. 66. THAW MAY BE INNOCENT. "Referring to the case of Harry Thaw, who Is now on trial In New York for the murder of Stanford White, It seems clear from this sum mary of the law that he may be in nocent, and the homicide merely a great misfortune. He is certainly not responsible If, by reason of genuine Insanity at the very time of the hom icide, by whatever cause It may have been produced, and the testimony thus far Introduced, If true would seem to show ample cause for at least a temporary overthrow of reason he was Incapable of knowing- the nature and quality of his act, or Incapable of knowing that the act was wrong. And even though he may have been In all other respects sane, If at the very time of the homicide, by reason of brooding over the supposed wrongs, or from any other cause, aided, per haps, by threats against his life mad Dy wnite ana communicated to him, he was laboring under a genuine in sane delusion that It was necessary for him to kill White as he did to save either himself or his wife from oeath or great bodily harm, however unnecessary the homicide may in fact have been, then he was guilty of no crime at all for If such were the real facts, the homicide would be Justifi able. "Of course, the existence of such Insanity or insane delusion Is a ques tion of fact to be determined by the Jury from, the evidence, and the de fense must Introduce some evidence to prove it. If such evidence Is In troduced and It Is sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt In the minds of the Jury as to whether It did exist or not, then, under the law of New York, the defendant must be acquitted." Battle Between Rat and Crab. Paducah, Ky., Dispatch to The Cin cinnati Enquirer. D. L. Van Culln, a Paducah sta tioner, Is fond of salt water crabs! Receiving a consignment from Malno, he took one out to experiment with. They were numb from ice packing, and one placed by the warm stove began to exhibit signs of life.

He, too. Is diseased; digestive system, blood and brain are all Involved, and he is constantly spreading contagion by dragging his companions into the whirlpool from which there seems no escape for him. It is true a large and highly respected class of citi zens have interested themselves In fcls behalf, and while their efforts are creditable and often heroic and pro ductive of some good results, the evil of drunkenness continues, every year bocoming more alarming. Our attention has been directed to the study of alcoholism and Its cure by the status of a large majority of Its victims. It seems to us a terri ble mistake somewhere that even year thousands of men of exceptional brilliancy, depth of mind and strength of character, who had cherished high ambitions and shown promise of great achievement should leave the pajh of sobriety for the allurement of the wine cup that can only end In van quished hopes, mental and physical wreck, often disgrace and crime ana Invariably premature death. An Efficacious Cure for Alcoholic In temperance. Our treatment for alcoholism is tho first non-hypodermic method and has won high regard solely on Its absolute worth, Invariable efficacy, and the careful, conservative method of Its promotion. On this reputation, so carefully and laboriously es tablished, imitations have begun to encroach. They have been character ised by a more or less short observ ance of respectable "ethical" meth ods, to gain a certain amount or reputable recognition. The primary investigation, wnicn resulted In the production of our treatment, were conducted over seventeen years ago, with a view or perfecting a rational metnoa or aa- nilnlstration by which the treatment of alcoholism by hypodermic injec tions might be simplified and divested which that method presented and which are needless to specify here. No disease ever known to medical science has been successfuly treated bv hyoodermic Injections, but thou sands of lives have been wrecked by their use. We effect a cure entirely by the use of Internal remedies, which are taken Into the system through the natural channels and cure the disease by natural methods. We can not only cure the desire for drink, but build up the debilitated system and restore the run down consmu tlon to Its normal condition. Dr. J. J. McKanna. the discoverer of this unique, wonderful and success ful treatment, has for years made al 11111111 cohollsm the subject of closest study, and his Investigations pursued along thoroughly scientific lines, but boldly original in experimenting, nave evolved a system that will come to cause his name to go down with the names of medical discoverers whose discoveries have conferred unspeak stole blessings upon their kind, bene fits In which the whole human race may share. A Safe and Speedy Ilemedy. Some say that the whiskey habit cannot be cured In three days. If a person takes a dose of a polsonou drug and a doctor Is called he gives an antidote and expects a result in a few minutes, because the antidote neutralises the poison and destroys It So It is with our cure. This Is the exact reason why we 'get the quick results In the cure ot the whiskey habit Our remedy Is a neutralising antidote to the poisons ot alcohol, Is very soluble, and when taken Into the stomach has an affinity for the nerve and blood cells, accumulating there, neutralising and eliminating the fused oil as quickly a alkali' would neutral ise an acid, thus causing the intoxi cated person to become sober at once, and at the same time It acts as a food to the diseased nerve cent;, which It restores to their normal condition. . - The cure Is purely vegetable. , no poisonous mineral hypodermlo In jection whtch ruins so many stomachs and drives hundreds of people to the Insane asylums.

Our long experience In this work ' enables us to do this without the' "use of the . dangerous hypodermlo, without syste mwrecklnai drugs, but by a metho dobtalned by scientific deductions covering over a period Ofaoventeen long years. To say that we place .a man? In perfectly normal condition In three days would be telling an . untruth. We examine and carefully watch every patient during the time that they are , with us, thereby learning the necessities !ofv each patient In this manner we are enabled to send the patient home with medicine suf ficient to last him ' for a period of about four -weeks, during which time they regain their normal condition.

You quilt because- tu don't want liquor. Wo have often heard patients say; "Doctor, if every one knew what I know, you could not find a place large enough to ac commodate the crowd." Effect on General Health. Our treatment has no bad effects. It does not leave the system vitiated as many treatments do. , It conquers all desire for ' alcohol, 'so that tho appetite will never return, and at the same time Improves the digestion and builds up every tlstue so that the sys tem Is fortified to resist and combat disease. The . victim of drunkenness need no longer , tremble with the dread of disgrace and punishment which have hitherto been deal by the discriminating hand of the law. The searchlight of knowledge has been turned upon the disease of drunken ness and tho humane hand of science has lifted the veil of superstition. The greatest blight of modern times has yielded to unremitting toll and study In tho fields of medicine. The very fact that our patients re sume their dally, avocation after three days' treatment without a shake or tremor, but with vigor and ambition, proves that the treatment Is beneficial from the beginning. Our patients leave our Institution strong In mind and .body, entirely relieved of their unfortunate addiction, and prepared to take their rightful posi tions In business and society. The Good We Are Doing. We have permanently cured over 20)000 caacs of alcoholic Intemper ance; men and women In all walks of life, many of them person of emi nence and broplty, whose commenda tion cannot be bought. We have thousand of testimonials at our ofTlces from those who have been treated and cured, nnrt no un prejudiced person reading those grateful letters coul dfor a moment doubt the faith . of the writers or question the fact that through tho means of our treatment they have been thoroughly and effectually cured of all the dlseaea of alcoholism. . We will consider It a favor to bo permitted to prove wir assertions, and will gladly refer you to well- known people in -your vicinity who have been cured and who have stand ing that will bear Investigation. All communications are sacred, and we hold secret the fact that any per son has taken the cure, unless au thorised In writing to publish teh fact. To the Medical Profession. Physicians who refer their patients to us may be sure that they will be returned to them permanentl" cured of their desire for alcohol, and pre pared to resume their duties In a proper manner. Letters or verbal communications made to us by physi cians or their patients will be held In strict confidence. We respectfully urge the Investi gation by every one addicted to the drink habit of our methods. We ask you to write or call. We will prove conclusively to the most ' skeptical that our treatment will permanently cure any cafe of alcoholism on earth If taken as directed. The treatment is safe, reliable anl speedy, and never did and never can Injure a person's health. On the con trary, It strengthens every nerve and organ of the mind and body. At the conclusion of a course of treatment the patient has a hearty appetltq, sleeps soundly and naturally, has full possession of his mental faculties and that feeling of confidence in himself Inseparable from perfect health.
