Abstract
Case I.—Mrs. A., ót. 55, married. Admitted into the Infirmary 14th April, 1875, suffering from aortic valvular disease, with sequelae. Ordered iron, digitalis, and gin, generous diet, and an unstinted supply of fresh milk. On account of the sleeplessness and restlessness, on the 30th April, there was prescribed for her 15 grs. of choral hydrate, to be taken at bedtime. A week afterwards this was doubled. About the middle of May she was observed to be getting decidedly “strange;” the mental aberration gradually increased, and towards the end of the month culminated in subacute mania, with hallucinations and illusions of sight. No improvement took place in the physical symptoms.
