‘Colonel J.R. Lord, C.B.E., Medical Superintendent of the Horton Mental Hospital, Epsom, arranged to set apart an isolated block of the hospital for the treatment of patients and to place a laboratory at my disposal in this block. I take the opportunity to thank him for these and other arrangements which greatly facilitated our task and also to thank Drs. Moodie and [3-4] Nicol, Medical Officers of the hospital, for much assistance in every respect of the work. Dr. Nicol was in medical charge of the patients who passed through the course of treatment at Horton during the two years with which this report is concerned and also collaborated with us in the laboratory and clinical studies.’ (3-4)

‘I desire to place on record in the beginning of the paper that the observations represent the united work done by myself, Dr. W.D. Nicol and Mr. P. G. Shute, in mutual co-operation, and that the thanks of all concerned are due to Colonel Lord for the arrangements which enabled it to be carried out.’ (478)
