Of the BRAIN, winch isies from the patient,
who may have perfect vocal organs and enjoy
all the other powers Of his mind, the power
to use words. Sometimes the loss is com
plete, and sometimes words can be uttered.
but so unintelligently as to make nonsense.
Perhaps mere yes or ''nor comes out on
every attempt to speak. Another form of
mutism is Of hysterical origin. This does
not mean that it is feigned, any more than
the terrible spasms Of some historical
patients are feigned. In the hysterical there
is a singular instability Of the nervous sys-
tenn. The slightest cause often sets up the
widest disturbance Of the whole nervous ma
chinery
The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
gives the case of a shoemaker, whose nervous
system had been injured by the use Of alcohol
from his boyhood Having spent the night
in the gutter after a drunken debauch, he
was taken to the hospital, where he was tor
mented by countless hallucinations Of sight.
Then his power Of speech gradually failed,
until 1t was wholly lost He at length fully
recovered his bodily health and became quite
rational But he remained absolutely mute,
and the officials, after the most thorough
testing, were satisfied that there was no de-
ception in the case. Indeed, he was exceed
ingly anxious to return to his home, but was
detained only because Of his mutism He
was finally dismissed in this condition. But
may at any time suddenly recover his power
Of speech, under some exciting cause.
Still another form Of mutism results from
some insane delusion which impels the
patient to keep silent. Though the vocal
organsare perfect he may refuse to speak
for months or years.-Yo outh's Companion.
