such as increase of pulse, flushing of the face, dermatographia, trembling and uncertainty in the Romberg position, such as is shown in all general nervosity. But the complaints are so exceedingly uniform that the uniformity of the subjective complaints justifies the conclusion that they are well founded. The picture thus is briefly that of a mental weakness shown by easy fatigue, slowness of thought, inability to keep impressions, irritability, and a great number of unpleasant sensations, before all headaches and dizziness." It is exceedingly interesting to note that Schläger in discussing disorders resulting from concussion of the brain, in 1857, as quoted by Griesinger,[154] makes the following comment on these cases:—"Very often the character and disposition changes; in 20 cases great irascibility, an angry, passionate manner even to the most violent outbursts of temper was remarked—less frequently over-estimation of self, prodigality, restlessness, disquietude; in 14 cases there were attempts at suicide, frequently weakness of memory, confusion." Meyer found, furthermore, in his analysis "all the possible degrees of episodes of more or less dazing and dream states; from a temporary dazed feeling to episodes of hysteriform or epileptoid absences. Apart from the subjective feeling of haziness, the characteristic trait is the occurrence of complete dream interpretations and peculiar fabrications, which color the primary traumatic insanity as well as the subacute and episodic types, and even the paranoic type."
