For further experimental purposes he

laughter. the lights and the music were a
source OF great Amusement to him. After
this ex perence he was taken TO phy-l-

awakened by Mr.. Hanna shaking him by
the shoulder and asking where they were
He had awakened in his first, or a. the
physicians call it. his primary personality.
He said he seemed to have been dream

drive in the country and his accident. He
spoke Of it as last Thursday II had oc-
Cured on April Is. This was June J.
When his brother began 20 explain things
ne thought it was a joke. When the
brother persisted he said it was a huge
Joke The physicians with whom he had
spent the last few weeks were called. He
didn't recognize them. Explanations be-

said the Rev. Mr. Hanna.
In the midst of the conversation he ex
caimed: What funny taste in my mouth:
you have been feeding me on tobacco. +"
In his previous life he had not smoked. on
the preceding evening he had smoked a
cigarette
He soon became very sleepy and asked
permission to lie down. He awoke the
next morning in his secondary state with
no recollection Of his return TO his FORMER
life in the night preceding. and no recollec-
ton Of that life at all. His last memory
was of the dinner in the restaurant and his
return TO the house and going to bed
During his brief awakening. tests had
been made Of hs handwriting He wrote

Very early in his new NE he realized
that sounds were means of communication
between persons: that in response TO GER
tain words certain actions were performed
by others. and he tried to obtain similar
results by making such sounds himself
The result was gibberish.

IL was Just like watching and training a
baby, except that the by was physically

Yet his mental faculties were already
developed and therefore he learned with
what in child would have been amazing
rapidity He had been fond of music.
He learned to sing and to play instruments
in so short time that 1t seemed miracu-
lous.
A friend spent an afternoon in teaching
him to play the hsnjo. Though he had
had no familiarity with the instrument
before his accident, he learned in a few
hours TO handle it with the skill OF an ex-
perienced player 1t was almost the same
with the piano.
His greatest surprise came when they
gave him a looking glass. II was Il long

He learned the alphabet and learned to

He thought that everybody was born full

ever of the two he wished and felt impelled
TO make a choice
Thus as the result Of his mental strain
ing the two personalities fused he re-
membered al that had happened in both
his states and became again the Rev Mr..
Hanna. a clergyman with an experience
unique among living men.
The whole state of dual personality and
transition lasted from April 10 to June IA.
II Is said TO be, in the language OF the ply
sicans. the first case of complete arnneria

scientific observation and experimental
control, and it has been made the chief

From what happened in the clergy
mans second state and his own account
Of his experiences in il may be traced the
ideas and mental development OF new
baby; only in this case the faculties were
already sharpened and developed by a
previous existence Of which the mental
child had no memory whatever.
When he recovered consciousness after
his accident the Rev. Mr.. Hanna sat up in
bed and reached out toward one OF the at
tending physicians. The physician think
ing that his patient was delirious, attempted
ia Dush him hack on the bed
Mr.. Hanna resisted and there was fierce
struggle which ended in bis being strapped
down. Then queer things were noticed
about the patient, When the straps were
removed he didn't fight. He saw but did
not realize the meaning Of what he saw.
Neither objects nor space nor time eN-
listed for him as they do to the developed
adult mind. Movement alone attracted
his attention; he did not know its cause or
meaning, but a moving object fascinated
his gaze at it does baby's.
From chance movements more or less
involuntary he learned the possibility OF
controlling his limbs. He could not direct
toe motions of his legs, however, so he could
not walk; he bad 20 learn that. The Only
sensations in his mind we're darkness, light
and color
He realized. also, that he was hungry,
but did not know how TO eat. When food
WAS put in his mouth he did not understand
the purpose OF it, nor did he know how to
rnasticate or swallow il. To feed him
fluid nourishment had TO he placed far
back in his throat. thus provoking swallow

lied the purpose of food and learned the
way Of taking it.
