Cox couldn't well and Thompson was "terrified of the water" accord- ing to his brother-in-law, Arnold Sanderson of Port Hope.

It: has been sometime since necromancers and. clerics de- nounced the mentally-ill as be- ing possessed of evil spirits, but like any established "truth' of medieval Christianity, this atti- tude has persisted. The public at large still sus- pects and despises those unfor- tunate enough to have spent time being cured in a mental hospital. There is a stigma at- tached to their lives. Their so- cial relationships are affected. Their jobs are constantly in jeopardy. They live in glass houses. Inadvertently they become the village idiot, the pariah and the outcast.
