A case cited by Dr. Abercrombie confirms the suggestive theory
that the stimulus which fever gives to the circulation (sign
of the disease tho it is) may bring dormant mental impression
into temporary activity. A boy at the age of four had undergone
the operation of trepanning being at the time in a state of
stupor from a severe fracture of the skull. After his recovery
he retained no recollection either of the accident or of the
operation. But at the age of fifteen, during an attack of fever,
he gave his mother an account of the operation, describing
the persons who were present, and even remembering details
of their dress and other minute particulars.--RICHARD A.
