Book excerpt: Excerpt from Virginia Medical Semi-Monthly, (Richmond), Vol. 7: April, 1902-March, 1903, Inclusive, Thoroughly Indexed Every medical man is familiar with the sym pathy existing between organs of the same indi vidual - for instance, in cases of sympathetic blindness, owing, of course, to the sympathy of contiguity of the nervous system. But how such sympathy can exist in separate and dis tinct individuals is inexplicable. With this preliminary, I will now proceed to give an ao count. Of these two cases from the inception of their mental trouble: Their home was in Campbell county, Va. Just preceding their attack, they had gone from home. One went to Lynchburg to visit rela tiyes, in fine health and spirits, and to be pres ent at the marriage of a friend. On the lst day of February, 1900, without any premonition, she was attacked with acute mania of a violent form, which was, of course, a complete trans formation, a subversion of her previous modest, retiring, and ladylike disposition to one of the very opposite. Suddenly she became terribly excited, talking incessantly and incoherently, making wild gesticulations, using profane and obscene language, was noisy, and tore up her clothes and books - everything in her reach that was breakable. She became unmanageable, and had to be forcibly controlled by her friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
