During the last five years I have published a number of articles and lectures on the subject of hysteria and hystero-epilepsy, some of which have been freely used in the preparation of this and the succeeding sections.[13] My first paper on hystero-epilepsy, in the _American Journal of the Medical Sciences_, was written to strongly direct the attention of the American profession to the subject as studied in France. It was in large part a translation from the works of Charcot, Richer, and Bourneville, with, however, notes of some observed cases.
