_Under Observation:_ 1. On admission, and for two weeks, the patient presented a marked excitement, during most of which she was treated in the continuous bath. She tossed about, threw the sheets off, beat her breasts and abdomen, put her fingers into her mouth, bit the back of her hands, waved her arms about, sometimes with peculiar gyration, etc., at the same time shouting, singing, again praying, laughing or crying, sometimes fighting the nurses and resisting them. She also talked quite a little as a rule, but there were periods when, although excited, she would not talk or answer questions. She was very little influenced in her talk by the environment. When on one occasion asked if she had any trouble, she said: “No--I don’t want, somebody else gave me a book--all right I love myself, Uncle Mike too--all right too--all right I am in Bellevue--I love everybody except the Jews all right, all right--give me water, give me milk, give me seltzer--white horse uncle--Holy Father, he is killing me, I want my mother,” or “Wait a minute, say, that’s a lie--oh no, Holy water--no I didn’t wash the water away--oh, she forgets, I am sick--mother why don’t you come--look at the baby, they knocked my head against the wall--wait a minute, isn’t that terrible?--I was married--I was so--I forgot--April fool--I kiss you seven kisses and one more--I love papa and mamma, I like others too--I am papa’s angel child--yes I confess I love him, but I don’t want to die myself.” On another occasion, when asked where she was, she said: “I am at the ball--I am going to Heaven--don’t shoot me” (affectless). (Why are you afraid?) “Because you see--high water (in the tub)--white horse.” (What about the water?) “My name is Caroline--if you love me, father, tickle me under my feet,” or, rolling her eyes up, “Oh, isn’t that awful, that ring, that diamond, that is the key to Heaven.”
