Comments
Goullon quotes a remarkable case of sleepwalking from the Cercle
Medical: «A youth of fifteen in good health in other respects, had been
withdrawn from his apprenticeship, on account of his nightly promenades
on roofs. He was put in a private asylum. Although his room was oriented
so that no actual ...........rays could reach it, the moon nevertheless
exercised a potent influence upon him. As soon as it reaches the horizon
he gets out of bed and carefully with closed eyes, moves towards a
window, so high that he has to jump in order to reach and open it.
As it is barricaded with an iron trellis he gets down and, crossing the
corridor, goes to the outer door, above which is a window. With cat-like
agility he climbs up to this, when he is seized by three warders, who
take him back to his room, where, only after the moon has set, can he
lie down and go to sleep. In the morning he remembers nothing. At full
moon the symptoms are still more extraordinary.»
Skin diseases, according to Menuret, are frequently influenced by the
moon. He instances a case of eczematous affection which increased with
each waning moon and was at its maximum intensity at the new moon.
When it covered the whole face and chest and was accompanied by
unbearable itching. Then there was gradual improvement and the face
became smooth, but scarcely had the full moon passed than all began
again.
Moritz Hoffmann observed a young girl (daughter of an epileptic mother)
whose whole body became swollen at every new moon, the swelling
disappearing as the moon waned.
One of Swan's cases cured by ........... presented these symptoms:
Excessive edema of face, neck and hands with neuralgic pain in the
swollen parts.
Mead tells of a child who was subject to convulsions at each waning
moon. Gale remarked that with weakly persons there are two epochs at
which excitability is most pronounced at the new moon and the full moon.

Swan communicated a proving of ............1,000c. made on a lady
physician, Dr. S. J. W. The prover was menstruating at the time the
proving was commenced, but was otherwise in good health. Repeated doses
were taken for two days. The effects lasted four weeks.
