y, and in addition told that she had no recollection
of going to the Observation Pavilion, the coming here, or
the first part of her stay, including presentation of the
case at a staff meeting, a physical examination and a blood
examination, and she claimed for a long time not to know
where she was, "I was in a kind of dazed condition." She
also said she could not understand the questions which were
asked her. This probably refers, however, to the second
part, i.e., the partial stupor lasting for two months. She
did not "feel like talking," the limbs "felt stiff-like."

CASE 5.--_Annie K._ Age: 22. Admitted to the Psychiatric
Institute January 7, 1907.

_F. H._ The father was an alcoholic, who died when patient
was a child. A paternal aunt had a nervous breakdown, with

Three weeks before admission she gave birth to a child. The

up on the tenth day, and then seemed to lose all interest,
did not attend to the baby, said she was not strong enough.
She sat about, appearing depressed. The mother then took
her and the baby to her house. There she sat or walked
about, said very little. But she repeatedly came to her
mother, said she had something to tell her, or that she had
"done something," although she could never be induced to
say what. Once she came to her and said, "You are not going
to die." She often moaned. Finally, she claimed a neighbor
