One such case has quite recently beer

trials. succeeded so we'll that the sub
iect became extremely excited, lost tht
mower of speech, and then passed into
the condition of catalepsy; subsequent

wards the sight of anything glistenins
threw him into state of violent excite

The floor of the room in which the
nhvsicians discovered him was covered

himself from the sofa on to the floor

attacks were replaced by periods dur

stopping. After a fortnight of this he
had high temperature for several
days, and altogether was very III fol
