1. _On admission_ the patient had a slightly elevated temperature, which soon subsided, full breasts but without inflammation. Sordes were not mentioned. For a few days she was essentially somewhat restless, getting out of bed, disarranging her clothes, wandering about--all in a rather deliberate, aimless way, sometimes vaguely resistive, again with free movements. She looked, dazed, sometimes stared straight ahead and looked “dreamy.” Occasionally there was a tendency to close her eyes. With the restlessness she looked at times “a little apprehensive,” or shrank away when approached. She spoke slowly, with initial difficulty, but answered quite a number of questions. The mental content of this period was displayed in the following utterances: She would ask for a priest, or say “Have I done something?” or “Do people want something?” or, when asked why she was here, she said “I have done damage to the city, didn’t I?” (What have you done?) “I don’t know.” Or she spoke of people watching her. When asked the day, she said “Judgment Day,” yet she knew the month. Once when asked what the place was she said, “This is the hereafter.” When asked what had happened at home, she said: “Voices told me I was to be killed.” She was not clearly oriented, called the place Bellevue, asked “Isn’t this a hospital?” yet again said, “Ward’s Island, where they work.” On the day of admission she thought she came “the day before,” but knew she had come in a boat. When asked her address, she said slowly, “Didn’t I live at, etc.,” giving the address correctly. To the physician she said, “Are you my brother?” And on another occasion, “My God! You are Charlie” (brother). It was difficult to get her to eat, and she had to be spoon-fed.
