man aged 80 years, had suffered for
two years from subjective visual sensa-

see large number of spectral human
figures, and believing himself to be
haunted by ghosts he had become very

he had senile cataract. When this was
Eemoyed by operation the ghosts fed
and the man recovered his usual health.
I'm this connection we may cite the case

was haunted by apparitions resembling

tomers. He was an intelligent man,
nwRre that he suffered from sensory
hallucination, and made notes of his
Subjective impressions. In due time he
Pubmitted his eyes to examination and
operation, with the result of restora-
(tion of normal vision and the immedi-
late and final disappearance of his in

without exception, have married young
wives, and when the husband is taken

he thinks he should, he begins to sus-

'Now, the odd part is that, though
have made a number of such analyses,

any case. Then the husband is very
much afraid that his wife will find out
that he suspects her, and he gets out
of my laboratory in the quickest and

year expect to see some elderly man
looming apprehensively up my office

and every year the old gentleman gets
information that he considers cheap at
