LAY CLINICIANSNo. 9

Often when reading a book or play one comesacross an excellent description of some disease. Suchaccounts are always of interest to the doctor andthey often show surprisingly accurate powers ofobservation and clinical acumen. We hope to printsome of these ' case records' from time to time andfor those who would like to try their hand at namingthe author, this information will be given at the endof the extract.

' The doorway was dark and gloomy at anytime ; but just at this moment it was rendereddoubly so by the fact that the thunderstorm hadjust broken, and the rain was coming down intorrents.'And in the semi-darkness the prince dis-

tinguished a man standing close to the stairsapparently waiting.

' There was nothing particularly significant inthe fact that a man was standing back in the door-way, waiting to come out or go upstairs; but theprince felt the irresistible conviction that he knewthis man, and that it was Rogojin. The manmoved on up the stairs; a moment later the princepassed up them too. His heart froze within.him."In a minute or two I shall know all " he thought.

' On the first landing, which was as small as thenecessary turn of the stairs allowed, there was aniche in the column, about half a yard wide, andin this niche the prince felt convinced that a manstood concealed. He thought he could dis-tinguish a figure standing there. He would passby quickly and nbt look. He took a step forward,but could bear the uncertainty no longer andturned his head.'The eyes-the same two eyes-met his! The

man concealed in the niche had taken a stepforward. For one second they stood face to face.

' Suddenly the prince caught the man by theshoulder and twisted him round towards the light,so that he might see his face more clearly.

' Rogojin's eyes flashed, and a smile of insanitydistorted his countenance. His right hand wasraised, and something glittered in it. The princedid not think of trying to stop it. All he couldremember afterwards was that he seemed to havecalled out:'"Parfen ! I won't believe it!"'Next moment something seemed to burst open

before him; a wonderful inner light illuminatedhis soul. This lasted perhaps for half a second,yet he distinctly remembered hearing the be-ginning of the wail, the strange, dreadful wail,which burst from his lips of its own accord, andwhich no effort of will on his part could suppress.'Next moment he was absolutely unconscious;

black darkness blotted out everything.' The prince's body slipped convulsively down

the steps until it rested at the bottom. Very soon,in five minutes or so, he was discovered, and acrowd collected round him.

' A pool of blood on the steps near his head gaverise to grave fears. Was it a case of accident, orhad there been a crime ?

' The sufferer was immediately taken to hisroom, and though he partially regained conscious-ness, he lay long in a semi-dazed condition.

' The doctor stated that there was no danger tobe apprehended from the wound on his head, andas soon as the prince could understand What wasgoing on around him, Colia hired a carriage andtook him away to Lebedeff's.'

This description of an epileptic fit, written byone who was himself an epileptic, will always re-main as the classical account of the condition.The author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, was one of thosebrilliant novelists whom Russia produced in thei9th century.

need not be dreary and are seldom devoid ofintrinsic interest.

There are some minor omissions which might,perhaps, be inctuded in, a later edition, namelyreferences to Hawlkley's valuable "obsegvations on'growing pain ''and the niuscular aches of children:which so often arouse false fears of rheumatic in-fection; to the work of Copeman and Ackerman onprotrusions of fatty tissue as a cause of some casesof so-called fibrositis; to hemiation of cervicalintervertebral discs, as a cause of pain resemblingbrachial neuritis. There is no reference to Felty'ssyndrome, We g*ould also,suggest that it is moreconvenient for references to-be printed together atthe end of each chapter rather than at the foot ofthe page.
