SMALL BRANDS JUROR As BLACKNAAILER
GIRL, I9, HAS
STRANGE DUAL
PERSONALITY
Mind Lapses to That
of Four-Yeor-OId
Child.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 1.-Onit-
ed Press. )-Bernice Redick will
soon have sole possession of her
own body again, DR.. II. H. Goddard,
psychologist, declared today an
nouncing existence of a strange
case of dual personality.
Bernice Redick, 10 years old, and
Polly Redick, 4 years old-total
strangers until a few weeks ago
have been occupying the same hu-
man body. But science is slowly
killing Polly in an effort to save
the life of Bernice
Hypnotism Is Cure.
Hypnotism is working the cure
in the peculiar scientific case.
The girl, formerly a high school
pupil at Lisbon, Ohio, was brought
to the Juvenile research bureau
here two months ago for treatment.
she was possessed of two dis
tinct personalities" Dr.. Goddard
said. In a single day she changed
back and forth IL times from a A.
year-old girl to her normal self, a
19-year-old girl.
4-Year-0Id Is "POlly."
''The 4-year-oid personality said
its name was Polly. 1t was normal
in every way for a 4-year-old child.
1t could neither read nor write,
nor distinguish between colors.
The child gibbered in baby talk
and delighted in toys.
When Bernice goa the upper
hand, we would have a bright, alert,
cultured young woman who wrote
beautiful letters, read good books
and had ambitions to become a
musician.
No Connecting Link.
There was not a single connect
ing link between Polly and Bernice.
When the girl was Bernice, she had
no recollection or acquaintance
with the Polly personality, and
Bernice was a stranger to Polly"
DR.. Goddard found that when
under a hypnotic spell the real
self possessed the girls body. In
this manner he first introduced"
the two personages and upbraided
the girl for lapsing into infancy.
After each hypnotic treatment
we could see she was coming to
have a better understanding of her
other personality and with it a de-
termination not to let the Polly
personality possess her. Now we
feel that Polly will soon be eradi-
Gated entirely"
