While prostatism seems to be due to such purely mechanical difficulties that mental influences can mean very little, the history of the therapeutics of the condition for the last twenty years shows us clearly that if strong mental influences are aroused they bring so much relief that many patients consider themselves cured.

It would seem evident from the foregoing story of organo-therapy for prostatic hypertrophy that sufferers from prostatism are probably as prone to suggestion as patients with Graves' disease.

Graves' disease being undoubtedly a ductless gland disease, while prostatism is due entirely to mechanical obstruction.

We have abundant additional evidence of the role of psychotherapy in prostatism.

The whole story of these series of incidents in the surgery of the last decade of the nineteenth century ought to be a clear demonstration of how valuable for therapeutic purposes is mental influence oven in prostatism, and how much we should try to secure its favorable effects.
