=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
on Committee for Legislation on Inebriates [BMJ]<br />J. WILLIAM EASTWOOD,M.D. Edin., M.R.C.S. Eng., late Lecturer on Physiology,<br />Sheffield ; Dunston Lodge, Gateshead.<br />private and pauper patients asylum. identified drunkeness as a cause of insanity<br />Dr. J. W. Eastwood, medical superintendent of the<br />Dinsdale Park Retreat at Darlington. Like so many other Victorians, Eastwood had<br />witnessed phrenological delineations in which no deceit had been possible and in<br />which "the descriptions were so accurate as to afford striking evidence of the truth<br />of phrenology." In an article 'On craniology' in the Journal of Mental Science in<br />October 1871 he noted, from casts taken from his own skull and from those of his<br />patients, that at least some of the organs in Gall and Spurzheim's system were correct.<br />Reiterating the optimism and hopes of the phrenological alienists of the first half of<br />the century, Eastwood concluded his article: "If we are enabled by these means to<br />understand the morbid manifestations of the brain for the classification of its diseases,<br />and for the diagnosis of insanity, we shall render great service to the special branch<br />of the profession in which we are engaged."<br /><br />Born Chesterfield. Physician, proprietor of licensed house for the insane and farmer<br />
