Third, eleven cases very difficult to class, but probably belonging in the functional group.
Fourth, ten cases, regarding the diagnosis of which no reasonable conjecture can be made.
These cases, arranged in the first three groups, are as follows:
Group I--Functional Or Nervous Disorders.
| “Nervous trouble” | 17 cases |
| “Trouble with eyes” | 12 cases |
| “Kidney and bladder trouble” | 7 cases |
| “An abnormal growth” | 5 cases |
| “Stomach trouble” | 4 cases |
| “Lung trouble” | 4 cases |
| “Rheumatism” | 3 cases |
| Drug habit | 3 cases |
| Tobacco habit | 2 cases |
| Alcoholism | 2 cases |
| “Asthmatic trouble” | 2 cases |
| “Irritable disposition” | 1 case |
| “The blues” | 1 case |
| Headache | 1 case |
| “Hardening of the spine” | 1 case |
| “Spinal trouble” | 1 case |
| “Weak back” | 1 case |
| “Sciatic trouble” | 1 case |
| “Chest and throat trouble” | 1 case |
| “Blindness” | 1 case |
| “Bowel trouble” | 1 case |
| “Heart trouble” | 1 case |
| Total | 72 cases |
Group II—Apparently Organic Diseases.
| “Tuberculosis of bowels” | 1 case |
| “Seventeen bruises, cuts and breaks” | 1 case |
| Insanity | 1 case |
| Locomotor ataxia | 1 case |
| Loose elbow-joint | 1 case |
| Necrosis of the jaw | 1 case |
| Rupture | 1 case |
| Total | 7 cases |
Group III—Probably Functional Disorders.
| “Lost use of the right limb” | 1 case |
| “What seemed to be a malignant sore on the face” | 1 case |
| “Strangely obstinate malady of 20 years’ standing” | 1 case |
| “An incurable disease” | 1 case |
| “Serious abdominal trouble” | 1 case |
| “Lung, spinal and hip trouble” (wore dark glasses 20 years) | 1 case |
| “Catarrhal, bowel and rheumatic trouble” | 1 case |
| “Internal disorder of 15 years’ standing” | 1 case |
| “Heart, ovarian, and serious nervous troubles” (8 years) | 1 case |
| “Debility, constipation, gout, piles, and prolapsus” | 1 case |
| “Bright’s disease, liver and lung complaint, and other ailments too numerous to mention” | 1 case |
| Total | 11 cases |
Of the second group, that of cases of apparently organic disease, the case of insanity was taken out of an insane asylum by Christian Science friends, but apparently is still insane; the diseased jaw slowly recovered, as such cases sometimes do, without any treatment. The same is very possibly true of the case of tuberculosis of the bowels (peritoneum), though the diagnosis is not certain. The cuts, bruises, and breaks healed rather slowly under ordinary surgical treatment in a hospital. Of the locomotor ataxia, the rupture, and the loose elbow-joint, nothing more can be said without knowing whether the diagnoses were correct—a point on which no opinion can be formed, owing to the scantiness of the facts recorded.
