The persistence of auditory hallucinations is generally admitted to be good evidence of an incurable condition among the insane, and I, therefore, think it may be worth putting on record the following case, in which such symptoms were followed by recovery:—

A married woman, æt. 33, was admitted into the Cambs. Asylum in May, 1874, in a state of acute mania. She was raving, violent, and destructive. She was treated with bromide of potassium, digitalis, chloral, &c., for two months, but got no better. She got better at times, but in December was reported as full of mischief, dirty and untidy, and does a little scrubbing at times.
