I used as a motto for this lecture—'Por los cuerpos a las almas' (through the body to the soul)—a motto which St. John of God, a former mercenary soldier and later founder of a religious mental nursing order—placed in 1540 above the doorway of his asylum in Granada and which today may be seen at the entrance to Lennox Castle Hospital (MacGillivray, 1973); and I should like to conclude the Blake Marsh lecture with a dictum from Cicero—'Dum tacent, clamant'—'While silent, they cry aloud!'—while our patients silently suffer from their mental and physical diseases they cry aloud for your help and mine!
