Another somewhat similar American case, also preceded by overwork, and eventually adjudged insane by the courts, is recorded by D.S. Booth, Alienist and Neurologist, February, 1905. Exhibitionism in epilepsy is briefly discussed by Féré, L'Instinct Sexuel, second edition, pp. 194-195. W.S. Colman, "Post-Epileptic Unconscious Automatic Actions," Lancet, July 5, 1890.
In fact I am quite sure that everything has been quite ethical. And I am not questioning your professional standing or decrying your abilities. "But as I understand it, neither you nor Doctor Malt is avowedly an alienist. I assume that neither of you has ever specialized in nervous or mental disorders.
"Oh, yes," remarked Drummond; "but why are they all so careful not to get caught? Every one is responsible who knows the nature and consequences of his act." Constance had wheeled about. "That is not so," she exclaimed. "Any modern alienist will tell you that.
"Well, that, if you ask me, does look a bit queer. Sort of fits in with Alec's theory." Mary's discretion gave way a little. "Or with Mr. Beaumaroy's? Which is that I'm a fool, I think." "And that Irechester isn't?" His eyes twinkled in good-humored malice. "Talking of what this and that person thinks of himself and of others, Irechester thinks himself something of an alienist."
"If you mean the psychopathic line, without being exactly an alienist, well, yes," Lanfear admitted. "That's exactly what I mean," the elder said, with renewed hopefulness. "I'm quite willing to risk myself with a man of the same name as Dr. Lanfear. I should like," he said, hurrying on, as if to override any further reluctance of Lanfear's, "to tell you her story, and then "
"I don't exactly know," he said, "what to do with them. I don't mind the alienist of course; but what do you suppose put it into her head Amelia's to bring him along?" "Why," said Nan, "it's precisely the thing she would do. Don't you see? She does everything by rule, by theory, the most modern, most advanced. When Dick wrote her, she made up her mind like a shot.
It was queer and pitiful, but by no means unprecedented. She might be not much of an alienist, as Dr. Irechester had been kind enough to suggest to Mr. Naylor, but she had seen such cases herself even stranger ones, where even higher Powers suffered impersonation, with effects still more tragically absurd to onlookers.
He turned instantly in the direction of Harley Street. There, he determined, to the most skilled alienist in town he would explain his strange plight. For only as a misfortune did the miracle appear to him. But as he made his way through the streets his pace slackened. Was he wise, he asked himself, in allowing others to know he possessed this strange power?
Of course you have invoked the aid of the police?" I did not reply. I certainly feared to seek the assistance of Scotland Yard. He explained to me practically what Professor Vega had done regarding orosin and its terrible effect. "There have been other cases of its administration," said the great alienist. "Somebody must be preparing the drug and selling it for sinister purposes.
"The alienist I was talking to the other day described him as a moral pervert. He said he was a type of insanity usually associated with physical incapacity or a low order of intelligence, but when, as in Mannering's case, both physique and intelligence were above the average, the moral pervert is a greater danger to the community than an army of ordinary criminals.
