this is purely a case of manic depression. in cases of this kind, patients sometimes go on for years before being detected. you remember, dr. fosdick, in my last book there are some very fine examples. especially, the one of the young nobleman, you remember? it reminds me very much of this one. nicht wahr? it takes so long to detect them the symptoms are obvious. oh, the man is verrukt. your honor, this is decidedly a case of a manic depressive.
