SRS n him, Mr, | To_a reporter who called . disorders tham men, particularly temporary disorders accompan- fed by terrifying hallucinations and so forth? An eminent authotity on such | matiers asserté that this is so, and, furthermoré, insists that there is. a greater amourt of genuine insanity among women than would generally be credited on a mere statemént. un- accompanied by substantiating figures. It is the temporary hallucinations with whieh wonten are afflicted, the price they pay for their sex, however, that form the most interesting phase of the subject. Any woman is liable to such hallucinations, dreams, as it were, that seize upon them with the full force of 4ctual reality and impél them to, acts | that are but as the acts of madness. | Without warning = these nightmares } will woop down upon them, and their effect wiil often last for several days, | when the woman will. suddenly be re- | stored to her proper mental condition, | though not without the firm bellef | that the hallucination under which she |labored was a reality and that the | story she may tell of what happened to het is absolutely true, incredible though it may appear to other people, | particularly men. Women, sane, sensi- | ble, norma] women, generally under- stand these things, but men, unless they have special training and long experience in such cases, are apt to regard the restored one's tale as an invention designed to hide some ugly truth. If they oaly kuew, there would ARE ‘women more prone to mental and sympathy would take the place of scoffing. Nerves Responsible for It. Women are creaturés of nerves, and sooner or later .even the most phleg- matic among them fall vietims to them. ‘When -this happens the . attacks of hysteria, often producing mental dis- orders with accompanying hajlucina tions, are reasomably certaln’ to hap- pen. No woman or girl, for even Young girls of tender years are fre- _quently so afflicted, is responaible for what she may do or say while such an attack 1s on, any mere so than the in- mate of an insane asylum might be’ held accountable for his or her acts. “The causes contributing to Such conditfons among women are many,” says Dr. C. H. Hughes, than whom no physiclan speaks with greater author- ity on this matter. “Their own pe- culiar,allmeats are, of course, a prom- inent factor, but women are genérally, to borrow a colloquialism, higher strung than men, and consequently many things the male sex will tri- umph over through its greater phleg- matism, women will fall mental vic- tims to. Thelr emotions are more easily aroused or depressed, and under given circumstances they are more prone to eolitary meditation, or brooding, as it is sometimes called.. When & woman suffers a depression of any kind that she feels strongly, she may fall a vie- tim to Some hallucination of a tempo- rary character with scarcely . any warning. The most apparently trivial | be no sinister curving of the upper lip l things will sometimes econduce to- wards this condition. The sudden de- parture of a dear friend, the non- arrival of something that may have been looked forward to with consider: able expectancy; but, after all, it is loneliness that {s the great Sofs tributing cause, .other ‘than some of her allments, toward both permanent and tempotary {nsanity among women. Lonely Lives and Insanity. - . In the country there is'a much larger percentage of {nsanity among women than among men, because of the lone- 1y life they lead. Women have an in- tuitive aversion to a permanent resi- dence In the country, except under the most favorable circumstances, which insures them plenty of company, and this {s the cause of it. Hven in alarge city a girl or woman may lead a lonely life, and as it {g not the normal nature of her sex to long withstand such a | condition, any rash or foolish act may be antielpated in consequence. .When a girl commits most any act of folly, therefore, and accounts for it by some apparently incredible yarn, the whole thing may be attributed to loneliness or a fit of dépression of some kind, re- sulting in a temporary mental attack, During the attack the woman or girl may seem -rational to others with whom she comes in contact, providing her delusion {s not touched upon; yet all the while she may be suffering tortures in the belief that she is being pursued by robbers or men filled with evil design towara her; for this ls often the form hallucinations assume, though under the very impulse ‘of that I belief she may pe fleelng from her home, trom those who love and cherish her the best. . 8he isn't responsible for her actions; she ohly realizes the hal- luoination that is upon her, and until the attack ‘is ended, which may be -two or three days, no influence or power ¢ould persuade her that what she be- lleves isn't true. i £ These delusions, Dr. Hughes contin- ues, in substance, are hardly ever of ¥y long duration. Three or four days 18 usually the extremeée limit of their life, and usually they terminate in & shorter perlod thar. that. There are {hstances, however, in which the delusior’ has last ven longer, but t indeed. During the ssla to Paris 0 a you dressmaker became affll with the delusion that & Russian officer had determined to seize her and carry her off to Russia, with the ultimate Intention of sending her to & Blberlan exile. So strong did this hallucination become that she actually fancied she heard him enter- ing the shop In which she was work- ing. Without hesitating a moment she went to the place where she knew her employer kept & sum of money, and, putting this {n her purse, left the es- tablishment, made her way to a rall- road station, and within an hour wai on her journey to Havre, There she took passage on a steamer for the United States, and it was not unti] af- ter her arrival in New York, nearly two. weeks later, that the hallucina- tion which had possessed her passed ‘condition. away. Frightened and restored toher normal self, she sought the .French’ Consulate, -and shortly after -was ra- turned to France. She. underwent trial for -the theft of her employer's money, -but {n the end was acquitted on the ground that she was Insane at the time and nmot responsible for her conduct. No cause for the mental de- lusion she had labored under was ever aiscovered, and after It passed away there wa® no evidence but that she was in a perfectly sane and normal ‘ Bernice Hallgreave’s Queer Case.’ Another singular .Instance of hallu- cination among women was that of Bernice Hallgreave, of Providence; R. I Employed as & sort of confidential stenographer by a well-known mer- chant of the city, it was one of her du-' ties of do certain banking for Kim. Om ' November 11, 1903, she went to tha bank ‘where her employer transacted business with over $400 in her posses- sion to deposit In his name, but as she was about to enter the door of the bank a man accidentally jostled against her and, seized with a sudden panie, she ran, not into, but eway from, the bank, and with every step she fook became more- convinced that the man was pursuing her with the intention of robbing her of the money- she had. Catching a car on an adjs cent street, she rode to the end of the line, and from there walked to a sub- urban town, four miles away, and er“uhu purchased a ticket for New or] e which | falien on Alden. told the story of his discovery and how: the volces of the night came to him' unsolicited, ltke the talk of spirits. “I was sittiog in My room one nlght when it dawned upon me that with the wireless telegraph comparatively simple, the . ‘wireless telephone must be egually simple. I jotted down on paper my fleas as they came t0 me, and thé Bext morning. went to work upon my machine, 1 'was merely experimenting. not- having the remotest idea that I was anywhere near - success.
