There is, In truth, no predicting the strange obsessions that may in- vade the human mind, haunting it with vamplre-like insistence. One man, ter rl by be knows pot what, may find mself unable to cross an open space; nother be afraid to venture outdoors alone; another to sit In a room with closed doors; another may feel that every one he meets Is eying and critl- cising him; another asserts that he is made of glass and must exercise the greatest care to prevent himself being | smashed to fragments. Buch fears would be ludicrous were they vot so tragic. ' Particularly pathetic 1s a case that came to Professor Janet's notice some years ago. Mme.
