some curious facts were stated concern

Tins Of epilepsy at the commencement
of their attacks.
One man for years was always warned
Of a coming fit by a sensation Of thump-
ing or beating in the chest, which grad
ually extended to the head. Then two
pulsating lights appeared, which seemed
TO draw nearer. In an instant these
were gone, and in their place was the
figure Of an aged woman wearing red
cloak, and always the same in appear
ance and dress, who offered the patient
something that had the odor of Tonquin
beans. Then the patient invariably lost
consciousness.
Another case cited was that Of 4 won

coded by vision Of London lying IN
ruins, the channel OF the Thames being
emptied Of water in order to receive the
rubbish Of the destroyed city. and the
patient believing herself to be the only
survivor OF all its inhabitants.
Still another patient always seemed
TO himself, just before an attack, to
have been set down i'll the midst Of a

afternoon we were worn out and told him
he might go. Off he set. He was in some
kind of white wrapping, with great
white turban ON his head, as pale as

But. oh, he was glad boy to get away
from these foolish, savage, childish

right if you look at it from his point OF
view, for, though we may be very clev-
