Mrs. Walter H., age 30 years, a refined, cultured lady, wife of a dentist, socially inclined and a member of several ladies organizations. Of late she was gradually losing interest in everything. She had a dread of appearing in public with an indescribable fear. She was now recovering from a “cold”. There were sharp darting pains, very changeable in location. In every way she felt much better in the open air. I was particularly interested in the history– if there were any fear back of the condition. The patient stated that the most disturbing event in her life, and which frequently came to her now while in a passive mood, occurred when a child about five years of age. The neighbors and her parents discussed in her presence in an excitable manner, the fighting that was going to take place between the Catholics and the A.P.A.s. This so impressed her that it kept her awake nights and sometimes she dreamed of people fighting. Pulsatilla corrected her handicap so she became a leader in society circles.
