by nature to be. she might be any one
OF three different persons.
Although making use Of the Same
body. each, nevertheless, had a distinctly
different character. The difference was
manifested by different trains OF thought,
by different views, beliefs. ideals and
temperament, and by different acquisi-
lions, tastes. habits. experiences and
memories.
Each OF these personalities varied In
these respects from the other two and
from the original Miss Beauchamp. Two
OF them had no knowledge Of each other
or OF the third excepting such informa-
tion S might be obtained by inference
or secondhand, so that in the memory OF
each Of these two there were blanks
which correspondent to the times when
the others were in the flesh.
"Of a sudden one or the other would
wake up to find herself, she knew not
where, and ignorant of what she had
said or done just moment before. Only
one OF the three had knowledge Of the
lives Of the others, and this one pre-
sented such a bizarre character, SO far
removed from the others in individuality,
that the transformation from one Of the
other personalities to herself was most
dramatic and striking"

The Distinguished American Psychologist
T HE case of Loretta Henderson is a
very unusual instance Of complex
personality. The researches of alb
normal psychology have demonstrated
that Ill health or physical injury may de-
range the brain in such n manner that
the normal consciousness, which has been
developed by life and education, becomes
ASSOCIATED from the subconsciousness
The latter then develops n more or less
complete. separate personality, which Is
generally ignorant Of ideas conceived by
the conscious personality or acts directed
by it. i know Of no instance, however, in
which the secondary personality was in.
spired by enmity against the normal per.
sonality, as in the case Of Miss Hen
derson.
DR.. Morton F. Prince, the leading Bos-
ton investigator Of this subject, descrb-
Ing the remarkable case of Miss Beau
champ, says:
"She was able to change her person.
atty from time to time, often from hour
to hour, and with each change her char
acter became transformed and her men,
