2. To the Emmanuel Clinic in Boston came, January 2, 1908, a clergyman forty-nine years old who reported that for years he had never slept, but merely dozed. He gave up preaching in 1903; then resumed it only to abandon it again in April, 1907. After treatment from January 2nd to March 9th he was discharged, much improved, and on May 4th he reported that he was still improving, and is now sleeping well from six and a half to seven hours every night. _E.—Insomnia from psychical shock_ A woman thirty-four years old was plunged into insomnia six years ago by the psychical shock which followed a violent attack made on her by an insane woman. Her habit afterwards was to lie awake for three or four hours after retiring, and then to sleep about two hours every night. Whenever she lay down to sleep, whether her eyes were open or closed, she felt herself surrounded by people, some of whom had been dead for several years, and one of whom she fancied wished to kill her. To the hallucinations dizziness was often added. Bromides which she had long been taking began at last to lose their effect. Treatment of her was begun at the Emmanuel Clinic in Boston on February 25, 1908. By March 10th she was sleeping better, though not soundly, and for thirteen nights the hallucinations had been absent. April 8th she reported that the visions still came now and then but were fewer and less terrifying. By May 21st the dizziness had disappeared, the hallucinations had not come for several weeks, her mind was clear, her sleep was much improved, and she was sure that she was getting well. _F.—Insomnia from family trouble_ A mother forty-one years of age had suffered several family bereavements. Her children had been sick more than is common. Her brother had been burned to death. She herself had undergone a surgical operation. For seven years she had suffered from insomnia, never even temporarily relieved except by taking sulphonal, trional, etc. It seemed to be the fear of sleeplessness that usually kept her from her sleep. Under treatment at the Emmanuel Clinic in Boston from September 21, 1907, to January 27, 1908, she steadily improved, and is now in every way much better.
