old. is afflicted with a suicidal mania of
pronounced type The child is apparently
normal in other respects.
Almost since birth, the parents say, the
youngster has been obsessed with a con-
stantly recurring craving for self-de-
struction. In trying to kill himself the
child has driven sharp knives into his
body, attempted to toss himself into bon
fires, swallowed poison. pounded his head
on the stone pavement and even starved
himself for days
Mother a Nervous Wreck.
The lad has thrived despite his many
suicidal pranks. but his mother is almost
nervous wreck because OF the alarming
experiences she has undergone.
The child's favorite time to attempt sui
eide is when his mother reproves him
for trivial offense. Without hesitation.
the child on such occasions has seized @
knife and begun hacking away at his
face. Several times he has been caught
climbing into the kitchen stove, and once
only the Intervention OF an aunt kept him
from leaping into q bonfire in the street.
Attempts to Gouge Out Eyes.
His eyes were badly bruised on one &C.
casion in an attempt to gouge them out
with a teaspoon.
A series or X-ray photographs OF the
lads skull are being taken in an effort
to ascertain whether any abnormal growth
is responsible for his mental condition.
