Female HallucinatfOaas.

The British Medical Journal. after observing
that recent circumstances have directed atten-
ton to certain remarkable delusions to which
females Of unstable nervous equilibrium are
subject, says
DR.. Legrand du Saulle, physician TO the
Salpetriere, Paris, describes In his standard
work. Les Hysteriqnes, some remarkable cases
OF halluclnatiOn where females labored under
the belief that they have been struck or stabbed
by others, even after having inflicted blows and
wounds upon themselves. In one instance q
young woman was found by her husband living
on the floor of her room In fainting fit. her
face covered with blood. On reyiving from her
swoon she stated that she had been attacked
by armed men; the Paris newspapers related
the case. and within three weeks two similar
events occurred in the French metropolis. An
these cases proved to be fabricated by the sup
posed victims A young girl wounded herself
slightly with pistol. She gave the police
imaginary assassin who. according to her ac-
COUNT, nred the weapon, but she was
found to be highly historical, and it was
proved that che had willfully wounded
herself In third case in DR.. du sanlles
IN railway carriage stabbed in the left side.
The incident caused great excitement. but It
was proved, contrary to her assertions that she
had inflicted the wound herself. and was an bvs-
terical subject. A housemaid was found living
OcuiHu uoOI, touHu, EuESeu, ana covered
with bruises. She stated that she had been
brutally attacked by two burglars with black
ened faces; but she was highly hysterical
woman, and there appears to have been strong
evidence that she had coptrived to tie her own
hands and to gag and bruise herself. Perhaps
the strangest case OF all occurred in N.
Tardieu's practice. A young lady living
at Courbevoie wished to make herself an
object Of public interest by passing as a
victim OF political conspiracy, which she pre-
tended to have discovered. One night she was
found In state of the greatest mental perturb-
alton at the door Of her apartment. She could
not talk; but stated in writing that she had
been attacked outside her own house by man
VINO had attempted to garrote her, at the same
time striking her twice with dagger. Only
the iadys clothing was injured, and the body Of
ner dress and her corset were found to be cut
through, out at different levels. She tried to
make out that the attempt at strangulation had
caused dnmbness. N. Tardeu remarked in her
nearing that this infrmity rapidly disappeared
, Mnen produced under circumstances of this
slad. she soon managed to regain her speech;
