Jesus Christ was a man. The spirit of God that was God at the time of Christ took [scratched] possessed the body of a man, Jesus Christ, of the house of David, and thus he was called the Son of God.

The prophecy which came to Robert Emmett O'Mara at 411 U St., N. W., Washington, D. C., was a prophecy of God that is. Lucifer is God.

Since 1907 the character of the attacks in Case I has changed, he first going into a period of mutism in which he shows marked flexibilitas cerea from which he gradually passes into a state in which the flexibilitas is replaced by mere resistiveness, this latter now being characteristic of the beginning of an abnormal period. He may, however, on the second day show excitement and logorrhoea of a milder character than that previously exhibited, which may endure for several days, after which he passes into a stuporous condition. Both of these cases rarely showed some irregularity in their course, such as a day, or even a few hours of excitement appearing abruptly during the period of stupor, or a similar period in which the patient was apparently normal. The woman, Case II, has more recently shown a tendency at times to pass from the state of stupor to that of excitement of the usual duration so that it would appear that the normal period would be omitted. At one time it was suggested that the patient's attacks were epileptic in character and she was given a drachm of bromide daily for two months, January and February 1905, with the result that she at first had an unusually long normal period, but later her normal periods were very short and this condition lasted for about eight months after the discontinuance of the drug. While on the bromides the excitement was less marked than usual. This may be seen indicated on the chart.

In studying the chart of Case I, we find that in 1902, the first year shown, that he had 258 abnormal days to 107 normal; in 1903, 179 abnormal to 186 normal; in 1904, 209 abnormal to 157 normal; in 1905, 219 abnormal to 146 normal; 1906 is omitted being incomplete; in 1907, 221 abnormal to 134 normal, and in 1908, 239 abnormal to 127 normal. This shows an increase in the number of abnormal days since 1903, but has not yet reached the

number of 1902, so that it is doubtful if it can be correctly said that the fact that the number of abnormal days is increasing is an indication that the disease is progressing more rapidly, or indeed, if in this case the above figures indicate anything more than what they actually show, that is, the number of abnormal and normal days. The same may be said of a study of the duration of these periods, as may be seen from the following figures: In 1902 this patient had II abnormal periods of 35, 19, 28, 27, 25, 30, 22, 4, 30, 25, and 16 days, or an average of 23 days. There were 10 normal periods for the same time of 9, 17, 8, 10, 20, 9, 3, 2, 8, and 18 days, or an average of 10 days. In 1903 there were 9 abnormal periods of 23, 16, 14, 33, 18, 15, 16, 7, and 17 days, an average of 16 days, and 9 normal periods of 8, 18, 8, 56, 36, 17, 37, 21, and 4 days, an average of 22 days. In 1904 there were 10 abnormal periods of 24, 24, 24, 10, 21, 15, 25, 23, 17, and 22 days, an average of 20 days, and II normal periods of 10, 11, 7, 20, 17, 15, 16, 15, 20, 16, and 15 days, an average of 14 days. In 1905 there were 12 abnormal periods of 19, 23, 13, 18, 22, 20, 15, 21, 20, 19, 21, and 23 days, an average of 18 days, and II normal periods of 13, 16, 16, 13, 12, 15, 10, 11, 13, 11, and 10 days, an average of 13 days. In 1907 there were 12 abnormal periods of 23, 5, 13, 19, 20, 24, 17, 18, 23, 16, 21, and 18 days, an average of 18 days, and 13 normal periods of 11, 13, 14, 11, 11, 6, 4, 13, 11, 6, 16, 12, and 19 days, an average of 11 days. In 1908 there were II abnormal periods of 18, 16, 18, 18, 35, 20, 21, 17, 15, 16, and 20 days, an average of 19 days, and 12 normal periods of 19, 11, 7, 10, 10, 10, 10, 7, II, 13, 10, and 15 days, an average of 11 days. It would appear that the only conclusion which might be drawn from the above is that there is a tendency for the normal periods to become more uniform in duration. The seasons apparently have no influence upon the duration of either the abnormal or normal periods.

From the chart of Case II, in 1902, the first year shown, the patient had 257 abnormal days to 108 normal; in 1903, 237 abnormal to 128 normal; in 1904, 235 abnormal to 131 normal; in 1905, 291 abnormal to 74 normal; in 1906, 262 abnormal to 101 normal; in 1907, 253 abnormal to 112 normal, and in 1908, 265 abnormal to 100 normal. Here again, we see an increase in the number of abnormal days. As to the duration of the abnormal and normal periods, in 1902 this patient had 13 abnormal periods of

33, 78, 16, 18, 18, 4, 5, 2, 19, 20, 17, 16, and 25 days or an average of 21 days, and 12 normal periods of 2, 15, 11, 12, 1, 4, I, 15, II, 4, II, and 21 days, an average of 12 days. In 1903 there were 14 abnormal periods of 20, 20, 14, 18, 19, 23, 24, 15, 26, 16, 25, and 18 days, an average of 17 days, and 14 normal periods of 10, 14, 3, 12, 11, 8, 8, 10, 12, 11, 16, and 13 days, an average of 9 days. In 1904 there were 14 abnormal periods of 22, 13, 23, 15, 18, 16, 13, 16, 12, 15, 23, 10, 17, and 6 days, an average of 15 days, and 14 normal periods of 12, 14, 11, 13, 9, 7, 9, 3, 2, 13, 6, 8, 9, and 15 days, an average of 9 days. In 1905 there were II abnormal periods of 6, 4, 58, 22, 7, 8, 82, 23, 37, 34, and 24 days, an average of 27 days, and II normal periods of 24, 1, 3, 3, 1, 2, IO, II, 2, 13, and 2 days, an average of 6 days. In 1906 there were 9 abnormal periods of 33, 25, 33, 6, 25, 36, 27, 23, and 47 days, an average of 28 days, and 9 normal periods of 15, 17, 12, 1, 11, 10, 12, 10, and 13 days, an average of 11 days. In 1907 there were 9 abnormal periods of 20, 39, 18, 19, 48, 52, 30, 16, and 34 days, an average of 30 days, and 10 normal periods of 14, 13, 12, 12, II, 15, 12, 11, 12, and 11 days, an average of 12 days. In 1908 the last abnormal period is not included, as besides 25 days of December it extended into February, 1909, so that exclusive of this there were 9 abnormal periods of 13, 22, 4, 33, 17, 35, 55, 21, and 18 days, an average of 27 days, and 9 normal periods of 12, 1, II, 13, 11, 13, 11, 2, and 15 days, an average of 9 days. From the above figures it would appear that there is a tendency for both the abnormal and normal periods to become more uniform in duration.

Case III, it will be remembered, was the only one which was observed in the beginning of the psychosis, and since his discharge he has shown the cyclic character of his psychosis more markedly than while under care here. Chart 3 shows the abnormal and normal periods while in the Sheppard Hospital and there is nothing about it essentially different from charts 1 and 2. I have not charted the abnormal periods since discharge, as there is no record apparently more accurate than the patient's own, and from this we do not know the times when changes in the dates of onset occurred which seems the chief point requiring charting. Neither have I made comparison of the abnormal and normal periods as I have done above, as this case was under observation during the
