man suffering from nervous disease
that manifested itself in paroxysms of
laughter. The patient was 30 years of
age and had been subject for three wears
TO fits of laughter, which occurred at
first every two or three months. grad
ually increasing in frequency to a dozen
or more day. The attacks occurred
especially between nine o'clock in the
evening and G;30 o'clock i'm the morning.
and in greatest frequency between five
and 6:3O o'clock. In the intervals be-
tween the attacks, and Immediately be-
fore and afterward, the man was per
fectly well. The attacks commenced
from tickling sensation arising from
the toes of the left foot. The PATIENT
would fall to the ground, where he could
lie down. At the height of the attack
the patient first smiled and then
laughed aloud without any apparent
cause for the excessive merriment. The
entire act occupied about two minutes.
