[page 609] By Mr. Baker: Q. And would the person taking hold feel the same temperature in a maniacal state that he would if the mania had passed away? A. No, sir. By Dr. Butler: Q. You judge that there would be about 5 degrees difference in general in the ability of insane and sane to bear cold? A. I did not say as to the degree. Q. I thought I put the question. Will not an insane patient bear upon an average a temperature 5 degrees colder than a sane man. A. I didn't understand that question. Insane people will bear greater cold and greater hear Q. Supposing the thermometer was at 60 and you and I being sane, could we bear it better than the insane? A. The insane would bear it better than the sane person. Q. What I want to get at is how much in degree? A. I could not tell. Some insane persons might freeze their limbs and not be cognizant of it, the same as they would burn their hands
