bilaterally acting parts mentioned. Speaking more at large, it follows from 
Broadbent’s hypothesis that “double hemiplegia” is more than the double 
of hemiplegia. 
So much for three applications of the hypothesis. There is another one 
of great importance to which allusion may be made. The hypothesis “leads 
(‘ Brain,’ op. cit.) to the conclusion that words are represented in the right as 
well as in the left hemisphere.” (Broadbent, ‘ Brain,’ loc. cit.) 
From what has here been said, it will be seen how fundamental and of what 
wide application Broadbent’s hypothesis is. This basic contribution to 
neurology has lasted forty years, and is still not only valuable for the 
explanation of certain neural symptomatologies, but is also fruitful in its 
indications for further research in medical neurology. Moreover, the writer 
thinks that it and deductions or inferences from it, will be found of great 
value in the study of still larger problems than those here dealt with, such as 
investigations into the physiology of the organism, when that physiology is 
considered as especially corresponding to psychology, both to the psychology 
of the sane and of the insane. J. H. J.
