I have no doubt it does make ’em feel a bit sadder. As they walk clown the j ath so oft trodden In-fore. To think that they're reaching the top of the ladder. That soon they will march out of chafxd no more. Oh. many’s the march that one learns in a lifetime— There’s the gay whirling two-step one hears at a ball: There's the Lorcngrin march and that sad one by Chopin— But the march out of chapel we like l est of all.

THE STRANGE CASE OF J M , U. OF D. ALUMNUS The following was found in the annals of the Tokio Medical Society, in the year of our Lord 1920. Since the leading person, Mr. J---------- M--------- is an alumnus of this school and since the attending physician, eminent as an alienist and neurologist is an alumnus of the same school, it seemed very proper that this remarkable case, so valuable as a contribution to science, be entered in some of the records of this institution. Moreover, since some of the incidents mentioned took place about 1900-1902, it was tliotight eminently proper that this present volume lx made to contain the following account. If it occur to any to ask how this highly interesting narrative was secured, we lx forehand make the request that they check this curiosity and accept the word of the writer that Mr. J------- M-------- is now a very pleasant gentleman, clothed in his right mind and that he allowed these statements to Ik recorded hy the Tokio Medical Society out of pure regard for the advancement of science. The writer was in those parts and by mere chance read this account. Afterward he met Mr. J-----------M--------- and ascertained that the society's report was true in every detail. The narrative, which was given in the words of Mr. J------------ M-------- himself, was prefaced with the explanation that he was riding in a sedan chair when two of the carriers were killed by lightning; the others tied, and the chair, with its occupant, fell over an embankment. Mr. J------------- M------- became entirely unconscious and. naturally enough, his head was in a somewhat traumatic condition. He was found in a short time, fell into the hands of the most excellent physician who rcjxwts the case, while he himself gives the details from the moment of the loss of consciousness. lie says; “J heard a sound; I rolled over; I thought of all I had heard alxntt sudden death; I thought of inv life; darkness fell; 1 knew no more. “Rut the time came when 1 ojx?ncd my eves ami saw again. At that time 1 did not know that my j»ast life had an existence. I was simply conscious. I did not know that the bed and what 1 now know as ‘I’ were different.’ ♦ “After 1 had recovered consciousness and had lH gun to live, growing in knowledge as a child would grow, only very much faster, 1 remembered nothing of the old life. J became strong. One thy I was bathing in a stream when I dived to the bottom and struck my head on a rock. 1 was told that those with me carried me to a hospital near bv and there a new phase of my life Inrgan. I fell into the hands of l)r. J------ S-----. When I opened my eyes I saw the physician’s face and thought of my college days, but I remembered none of the events of the day lx fore. I continued in this state for what 1 have been told was a number of minutes, and then fell asleep. During this sleep I had dreams. 1 his was true of all sleep I had during those days. ( hu or two examples will suffice to indii-ate the character of the dreams. 182
