A CURIOSITY OF LUNACY.

Periodicity of Mania by Which the
Patient Lives Three Lives.
There is a special form Of mental dis:
ease, first described in France, whose
definite character is given to it by it's
periOdicity, and hence it is called folie-
circulaire. In it there are three sections
of the mental circle that the patient.
moves in--viz, elevation, depression
and sanity-and in this round he
spends his life passing out of one into
the other, for it is, when fully estab-
lished, a very incurable disease.
The patient takes an attack Of mania,
during which he is joyous, restless,
troublesome, extrayagant and often
vicious. He eats voraciously, sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His
temperate 1re is a degree or 80 above
the normal, his eye is bright and glis-
tening, he is enamored of the other sex,
he shows diminished self control and
no common sense.
| This lasts for a few weeks, or q few
| months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually and some
/! times rather suddenly into condition
| of depression. during which he is slug
gish, dull, looking differently, dressing
differently, eating differently, fearful,
unreliant and sedentary in habits.
This state will last a few weeks OF
months, and the patient will brighten
up into what seems recovery and is tc
all intents and purposes in his normal
| state. This again lasts for a few
weeks or months. and he gradually
gets morbidly elevated You find he is
passing through every minute menta
phase and habit he did at first. De
preston follows as before, and thel
sanity, and this round of three states
of feeling, Of intellect, of volition ane
Of nutrition, goes on, circle after circle
till the patient dies. He lives three
