old. Well-formed, clear rosy complexion, dark brown hair, and blue 
eyes. Has been at school since his sixth year. Can read, write, 
cipher, and knit, but powers of attention and imitation poor ; is slow 
and backward. Speech perfect, excellent memory and vocabulary. 
Is obstinate, passionate, disobedient, and seems destitute of natural 
affection. Is fond of sitting apart, making grimaces, casting furtive 
glances and muttering to himself : " Fiend incarnate," " I am a per- 
fect Turk," " Dirty pig," " Look at the old frog sitting in the corner," 
"Fool, fool, fool." 

Music affects him peculiarly ; will scream, kick and cry when he 
hears it, although at times will sing. Has periodical outbursts of 
mania, when, while sitting quietly talking to himself, will start up 
suddenly with wild eyes, singing snatches of songs, beating himself 
and attacking viciously other children. For long periods will refuse 
food. 

Second child ; born at full term ; normal labor, nourished by 
mother, who was 27 and father 32 at time of child's birth. Has one 
brother considered peculiar. History of insanity in family of father,
