Summary[edit]

Description
English: Case B. — Q. S. Low-grade imbecile woman, epileptic, aged 31
years. Skin darker than that of a mulatto. Eyes black and beady ; 
ptosis marked. Hair jet black, curly and glossy. Nose broad and 
flat. Large mouth ; thick coarse lips. Very defective articulation. 
Went to school, but mental limit was soon reached. Sluggish habits 
precluded any advance in industrial work. Has deteriorated, and is 
now a subject for asylum care. 

Father, a merchant, 55, and mother 23 years, at time of Q.'s birth. 
Mother very hysterical, died a year after of phthisis. Maternal 
grandfather developed epilepsy late in life. A half-brother, son of 
the father by a former marriage, is of much the same type, yet there 
is no trace in the family of an admixture of negro blood.
