| Summary: | "This essay has been prepared with the profound conviction that mind is the most important part of man; and that the least contribution tending to extend the world's knowledge and appreciation of the relation of mind to nature is of superlative interest to him. There is a strong conviction in the minds of many in the medical profession, as well as among intelligent lay-people, that there exists an intimate connection--an interdependent relation--between the physical conditions and environments of man and his moral status. The purpose of this essay is to throw some light upon that interesting subject. Mental hygiene comprehends the nurture of the enobling graces such as faith, hope charity, honour, honesty, and virtue. In the following pages I have purposely confined myself to general principles, particularly that proper conditions are the antecedents indispensable to its highest realization in any department of nature, or realm of matter or of mind"--Preface.
