Nothing much isknown of the family except that the father was a drunkard. M. is anepileptic, but the spasms are very infrequent. She is active, noisy,affectionate, passionate, and is sexually exaggerated. She is fond ofasking foolish questions. She can read and write, but is very learned to sew, and is a valuable aid in the tailor shop. She canmake shirts, overalls and underclothing very well indeed. She looksmuch brighter than she really is, for she is only about 12 years oldmentally. PLATE X HBl ^ . ^ Case I. Case
