It's coming, it's coming. It won't be here in our time, of course, but your grandchildren will see it. The brain scientists are in the middle of a huge explosion of both knowledge and technique. I have no doubt at all that by the end of this century most mental diseases will be as much things of the past as smallpox is now. The market for that kind of thing is immense, so it's well worth the time and effort they're lavishing on it now. Take care!
