, again she gave wrong answers
(Bellevue). Once asked on March 23 for the day, she said
April. She wrote her name promptly on one occasion, again
a sentence slowly but without mistakes. Once during the
period she sang at night. Once she suddenly ran down the
hall but quickly lapsed into the dull condition.

On April 4, at the end of this period, she suddenly
laughed, again ran down the hall, said she had done nothing
to be kept on Ward's Island. But she quickly lapsed again
into the dull state. Later, on the same day, when the
doctor was near, she said, in a natural tone, "Thank God,
the truth is coming out." (What do you mean?) "That I have
been trusting in a false name and that Miss S. (the nurse)
should not nurse me." Then she got suddenly duller,
calculated slowly and with some mistakes, 3x17=41, 4x19=56,
and when asked to write Manhattan State Hospital she wrote
(not very slowly) "Mannahaton Hotspalne."

4. Next day it was noted that she was more stuporous, and
she remained so for two weeks, now showing a decided
tendency to catalepsy and more resistance than before,
though not marked, except in the jaw. She lay often with
head raised, sometimes with eyes partly open, or staring in
a dull, dreamy way, neither soiling nor drooling, however;
a few times she looked up when spoken to sharply. There was
no spontaneous speech. Usually she did not answer at all,
but a few times a short low response was obtained. Once she
wrote slowly a simple addition, put down on paper. When, on
one occasion, asked how she felt, she, as before, said, "I
feel better."

5. Then, with the exception of a day at the end of the
month, when the more stuporous state was again in evidence,
she returned to her former condition without catalepsy or
resistiveness and without staring, but essentially with
inactivity or slowness. She now even dressed herself,
answered slowly though not consistently, but she again
denied feeling troubled or sad, "I feel better."

On July 7 she got brighter but was still rather slow. She
then even began to do some work. She again denied feeling
sad.

In a few weeks, while having a temperature of 102 deg. with
vomiting and diarrhea, she suddenly got freer. She then
said,
