One of the patients was eighty-three years of age and had been insane forty-four years following a puerperal period.

She would not permit the hair on her face to be cut, and the curly white hairs had attained a length of from eight to ten inches on the chin, while on the upper lip the hairs were scarcely an inch.

This patient was quite womanly in all her sentiments.

The second case was a woman of thirty-six, insane from emotional melancholia.

She had tufts of thick, curly hair on the chin two inches long, light yellowish in color, and a few straggling hairs on the upper lip.
