146, while she is in an insane asylum. The daughter then takes the part of Socrates, and hence she becomes a Socrates representation. This explains perfectly that peculiar and rather incomprehensible neologism. In order to complete the analogy the little daughter by way of indemnity receives a bazaar, as did also the son, the Czar. The idea of the double bestowing of bazaars leads to the expression of patient, "I came first as double—I am the double bazaar." She adds to it a well-known Uster stereotype which has a distinct sexual sense. "Double " may also have a variously determined sexual sense, that is, the sense of marriage.

"With me the parents are dressed, the severely tried mother—I sat with her at the table—covered with white sheet—with abundance."

The preceding documents show us how the patient brought up under sad domestic conditions, amid distress and hard labor, creates in her insanity an enormously complicated, wholly confused and senseless fantastic formation. The analysis which we have made, precisely as we would a dream analysis, shows a material which is centered in certain "dreamy thoughts," that is, in thoughts which, considering the personality and circumstances, can psychologically be readily understood. The first division of the analysis discusses the afflictions and their symbols, the second the wishes and their realization in symbolic pictures and events, while the third division treats of the intimate erotic wishes and the solution of this problem in the resignation of her power and suffering to the children.

Like a poet impelled by his inner impulses, the patient pictures to us in her symptoms the hopes and disappointments of her life. The poet, however, even in his metaphors, speaks the language of the normal brain, and therefore most normal persons understand him and recognize in his psychic productions the true reflections of his joys and sorrows. Our patient, however, speaks as if in dreams—I know of no better expression. The
