Abstract

At the beginning of the article, the author cites excerpts from the monograph by prof. A. Gautier—on nutrition and mode, in which a number of examples are collected showing the influence of animal and vegetable food, both on the character of individuals and entire nations and even animals. Next, Rodiet summarizes his observations on 11 epileptic women he observed at the Saint-Jon Hospital. Three of them had an ordinary, calm, equal character, the remaining 8 represented features characteristic of epilepsy: they were sometimes gloomy and silent, sometimes they became irritable and aggressive.
