_Physical condition during the stupor:_ At first she had a coated tongue, foul breath and a fetid diarrhea. The latter was treated with high colonic flushing and mild diet. Urine normal--gynecologically normal. General neurological and physical examination not possible. At the same time she had for two weeks a temperature which often reached 100° or a little above, a weak, irregular but not rapid pulse, a leucocytosis of 17,500 and 80% hemoglobin. When she began to refuse food and before she was tube-fed regularly, she twice had syncopal attacks and lost considerable flesh which was gradually regained under tube-feeding. After the diarrhea she was habitually constipated. Cyanosis of the extremities seemed to have been present only at first. 3. Six months after admission she began to make very free facial movements--winking, raising the eyebrows--and soon developed an excitement with marked elation. She had to be kept in the continuous bath, talked continuously, whistled, sang, was markedly erotic towards the physician, careless in exposing herself and often obscene in her talk. Most of her productions were determined by the environment. She was therefore quite distractible, very alert; sometimes she was meddlesome, again irritable, irascible. The following illustrates her productions: “Send for my husband, S.--He had one sister as big as that. She likes candy.... My father is underneath and my mother is on top because she is fat and he is skinny.... Wait till the sun shines, Nellie--we will be happy, Nellie--don’t you sigh, sweetheart, you and I--wait till the sun shines by and by.... Come in (as noise is heard)--I bet that is my husband--my name is Regina K. (mother’s name)--my mother’s name is the same--I got a little sister named Regina--she is my husband.” When she heard the word pain, she said, “Who says paint, Pauline used paint, I used paint,” etc. Towards the end of August she had pneumonia, which did not change her condition. By October she was well, having gradually settled down. She had good insight. _Retrospectively:_ She laid very little stress on the false report of the father’s death. She claimed to remember being at the Observation Pavilion, but to recall very little of the other hospital. Unfortunately an inquiry was not made regarding her memory during the stupor period under observation with the exception of the fact that she said she wanted to die and therefore refused food. She was seen in March, 1913, appeared perfectly well, and stated she had been well during the entire interval.
