About this work

Description

Dialogue includes: Doctor. "Nothing in our experience, Madam, is more mysterious than these obscure nervous complaints, and the symptoms they exactly simulate; as, for example, in a highly-strung neuropathic constitution like your own, where all the phenomena accompanying - er - over-eating are exhibited, and which, absurd as it may appear, must be treated as if for that actual disorder!"
