Excerpt from Gaillard's Medical Journal and the American Medical Weekly (Consolidated), 1883, Vol. 35 Quinine caused insanity. - The father of a Washington lawyer guilty of escapades has recentlyr given the following explanation of' the erratic victim: Thinking it a safe thing to do, my son has been in the habit for months of carrying quinine in his pocket, and taking it in small but frequent doses, and the result is an elated, sanguine state of mind, quite beyond the bounds of reason. His memory is not yet impaired, and the marked improvement already consequent upon being deprived of the drug, gives his friends reason to expect (complete restora tion in a short time'. Meanwhile, let this case be one of many others to teach us all that, excellent as quinine may be in many cases, it'is, like chloral or opium or alcohol, exceedingly dangerous to trifle with. Mind 'of the physician, on reading this, is whether quinine has ever been reported as causing, insanity. There are at least two such cases on record, both of them reported in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, July, 1881. In both, insanity always fol lowed. Upon the use of quinine, and, from the_ char acter of the two reported cases, it seems certain that in some predisposed cases a brief, curable insanity may follow upon the use of quinine.

Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
